I have a strong sense of morality

lists "white" as a reason he "deserves" a gf

Can children please be taught that women are human beings and not objects

[–] AtomicPurple@kbin.social 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Referring to his hypothetical children as "offspring" is what tipped me off.

White was the first thing he said to boot. Those morals are working overtime

Rule of thumb: Anyone who says "I deserve a girlfriend" doesn't.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I agree 100%

But I do think it's weird how as kids we're all generally told that "everybody deserves love" then you grow up and realize that's just not true.

Why do we lie to children so much?

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Deserving love is different from deserving a girlfriend.

Love is something you can spread around to multiple people. It can be anything from fraternal love for a co-worker you've gone through some rough experiences with, to romantic love that bonds you to one specific person.

Everyone deserves love by default, although some people hurt other people and stop deserving love. But, deserving love and deserving the 1:1 commitment of a girlfriend are very different things.

If you're a kind-hearted, hard-working, trustworthy person who was raised with some fucked up beliefs, I'd say you deserve to be loved. Hopefully one of the people who loves you can take you aside and explain to you why your fucked up beliefs mean you can't get a girlfriend. Hopefully that loved one can help you change so that a girl might want to make a commitment to you. But, nobody really "deserves" a girlfriend. They aren't awards that can be handed out once someone completes the required steps.

That's extremely well put and I appreciate and applaud your ability to explain it concisely.

Brick of text alert! But don't sweat it since I more want to throw it out there and your comment got me thinking.

I'd say it's a wholesome sounding, easy way out, same way we tell people to "just be yourself!" for dating. Probably we can shelve that alongside the tooth fairy, etc.

"Just be yourself!" is easy, makes sense, is watered down for kid's consumption and also does have some good in that we don't want kids trying to change themselves to fit others like I once did but the problem with that snippet is that it isn't really actionable and leaves out the important part of being "the best you!" (even then that's vague)

I was "being myself" many moons ago and it didn't work in dating so I sunk into incel-land where it made sense to blame things I couldn't change like race, area demographics, people who weren't myself, etc. What I didn't realize was that the "myself" that I was just plain sucked. While I was "nice", I was an immature, anxious, awkward, very skinny, emotional wreck who had no idea who I really was. Metrics like height, penis length flaccid/erect, total max squat/bench/deadlift etc. were so much easier to quantify as something to "min/max" rather than "can I have a mature conversation about my feelings with someone?"

A long, rough, self-help-book-fueled journey ensued. Had to learn to love myself enough to not only accept myself but also try to become the "best myself" - and even then that was long road after the self-help books ended.

Generalized: "I deserve ________". Nope. Probably not.

[–] No_Money_Just_Change@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I deserve the same basic human rights as anyone on the planet

If you use the term "manlet" you're pretty much unfuckable, that could be part of it.

[–] socsa@lemmy.ml 54 points 1 year ago

These posts are such schadenfreude to me as a shorter guy ("manlet") who has never had any problems dating or getting women. The kind of people who make these posts and think courtship is some max/min game don't realize that people can smell this shit on them. Their insecurity, misogyny, entitlement and racism just ooze out of them. It colors everything they do.

A 13cm diameter peepee is quite... dangerous.

I can only go as far as 6-7cm anally.

Its easier for people to have a tailor tape for measuring rather that a caliper, so I think 13 might be the girth.
13÷π = ~4.13cm diameter (excluding major irregularities)

It's probably meant to be circumference which would be about 4.1 cm in diameter, which is above average but not humongous.

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 47 points 1 year ago

Nice of him to include unit conversions. Would want any of your international homies to be confused about how much of an alpha you are

Some refrigerators are white

A new fridge is young and “healthy”

A fridge can be over 6 feet tall

You can attach a suction cup dildo, or any sex toy you choose, to a fridge

Although fridges are completely neutral when it comes to honor and morality, I suspect they have a more tolerable personality

Refrigerators are available in many styles. You can pick one that you find “handsome”, or just tape a poster to it.

In a pinch, you can hide inside a refrigerator for protection

Refrigerators excel at providing resources. As for “coverture”, I’m still not completely sure what it is (even after looking it up) but it sounds like an outdated kind of marriage arrangement. That’s not something a refrigerator can provide, but I’m not sure someone would want it anyway.

Refrigerators have no stance when it comes to children, but since time out of mind, they have been encouraging the creativity of children by proudly displaying their artwork. The value of OPs influence on children is… questionable.

Most refrigerators cannot cook, and none can do the prep work. This is the only clear win for OP.

Most refrigerators can float if you tie the door shut. You may have to remove the compressor, though, because those things are heavy.

Refrigerators will silently watch any show you choose, or no shows at all. Same goes for music.

I read "I deserve a gif" multiple times and I was so confused.

Having an ISO B6 paper size of dick sounds like it's more trouble than it's worth.

Probably length x girth, but that manchild is also probably lying because it's 4chins

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

It’s 7 5inch peepees

I've been told I am handsome

It doesn't count when it was said by your grandmother and you were six at the time.

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wtf does having a strong sense of honor have to do with anything? Sounds kinda like you're insecure.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It influences the good taste in anime. It also ensures he only uses his massive schlong when it's truly called for, and never for evil purposes.

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would some points be written here. This looks like a wannabe-knight

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Not to mention "I'm white" as the first point of "positives"

This already implies problems with his personality that he views himself as superior for that.

PROBABLY part of why he repells women.
