    I’m all for any person practising whatever relationship style they want. What im against is using people to fulfill your needs/wants. Have fun, meet people, enjoy experiences, but please dont make people your experiments. You may enjoy “the chase”, but the long term effects on those individuals may have further impacts.

    I won’t fully agree with all the other comments that OP is not a nice person for doing this. We all have our motivations, methods, and reasoning. That being said, considering the fact that other humans have feelings and desires helps to mitigate that main character syndrome.

      this isn’t about relationships tho. it’s about having fun without commitment, which can also be 2-way. for example, my fling and i are keeping each other entertained without the expectation of anything serious.

      the concept of a female perspective meme about libertinage being an incel meme…

      the only angle i see in which it could be seen that way is if you think all women are puritanical prudes, which is misogynistic. ironic.

        Change your perspective and imagine the meme was made by a (male) incel and you’ll get what they were getting at.

          i’m imagining it. the content doesn’t change, so the meaning of the meme doesn’t change (fun without commitment). the only thing that could cause someone to label it as “incel” is, ironically, the reader’s own biases about women.

          my points still stand.

          nah, relegating a woman’s expression of libertinage, vanity, or playful detachment to the realm of “inceldom” is deeply puritanical. it suggests that women aren’t allowed to be chaotic, selfish, or purely driven by the ego-boost of the chase. it assumes women must only want wholesome, committed love & be passive, relationship-seeking partners
