      What kind of robot thinks “hey are you waiting for someone” sounds like a normal thing to ask a person?

      Be me Stood up by obvious catfish Sad that I fell for it again Even worse, the man who’s been drinking alone while staring at me for the last half hour is coming over. He smirks and asks “hey are you waiting for someone”? I instinctually interpret it as “do you have any witnesses arriving soon?”

        You’ve been watching this person for half an hour, you pick up certain cues, like they being alone and waiting instead of making an order.

    The only believable part is at the beginning where 30 women didn’t go on a date with someone who uses 4chan after talking to them.

    I think the term here is ‘chadfishing.’

    There are people who allegedly do stuff like this on Tinder, but it’s mainly to push the incel narrative that you need a strong square jawline, huge chin, and other masculine features to even have a chance to match with ladies on Tinder.

    Or course people claiming this could easily have faked screenshots, so take that with a massive grain of salt.

      well it is a pretty shallow app.

      being good looking helps. I’ve done tinder as a fat guy and as a fit guy (legitimately, i lost a load of weight for a while) and i got a lot more attention when i was fitter.

        People looking for a quick boink like fitter people better. No surprises there

      Do people think pilots are rich and powerful? I know a couple of pilots. They make about €90k a year and they are basically well qualified bus drivers.

        Man, where to begin with this.

        A. The pilots you know are making way more than most commercial pilots if those numbers aren’t made up.

        B. Nearly 100K in USD a year IS A LOT OF MONEY to most people, certainly nothing to scoff at. Way more than the median US income.

        C. You’re on fucking drugs if you legitimately believe that piloting a plan requires the same level of competency as driving a bus.

        D. Who the fuck upvoted you?

      Why is wanting a person with money even in the same ballpark of bad as lying to people to get them into bed?

      Just because I don’t understand or share the preference of someone doesn’t mean I want them to get used like a fleshlight.

      Is it seriously your opinion that a person wanting someone with money is a bad human being who deserves to be treated like what your workmate did?

      This is simply misogyny. And people are ultra casual about it. That’s seriously scary. I wonder what other partner preferences you think makes women basically lose their right to be treated with a baseline of respect.

          This is a quote from you where you put women who want men with money on the same level as a guy exploiting them through manipulation:

          My old workmate used to tell women he was a pilot. […] but also bad on the women who dribble over money and power. Nobody was a great human being in that situation.

          I am still waiting for your explanation on why women who want a guy with money are “bad”.

    Why do I feel promiscuity is disgusting? I have no connection to a stupid religion, neither do I care about social standards in that regard. Am I old fashioned or uptight? But since I was a teenager I despise it to the point I had the opportunity and said no, several times (when I was younger, I’m around 40 now) My buddies always said i’m stupid asf, I don’t know. Am I? Got 2 girlfriends in my life, the last one now for 20 years (still going), all my experience you can count on one hand, I don’t feel inhibited in my “skills”, at least what the feedback tells me, but on the other hand there’s clearly a bias, idk.

    • Whether you are more or less sociosexual (the scientific term) is partly genetic and partly environmental (and by that I mean more how your parents behave than whether or not you belong to a religion). It is completely normal to be turned off by promiscuity because you value a deeper connection.

      I wonder if it’s because you associate the concept of promiscuity with the behaviours and attitudes of people who treat sex as a trophy and a bragging right.

      There’s a big difference between someone who likes what they like and does it when they can in their own bedroom, and someone who uses manipulative tactics to have as much sex as they can and brag about it as though that makes them a winner at something, acting superior.

      Growing up in a society that reinforces that behaviour (specifically, in men) has probably meant that the two concepts are linked, and your feelings towards one are the same as the other.

      I’m a certified slut and that type of “sex as a conquest” behaviour feels gross to me too, and if that was the only way to have casual sex, I’d never have casual sex ever again, even though I like sex.

      I think because I’m not a man, it was easier for me to separate the two concepts. If anything, I was shamed for promiscuity, so it helped me to explore what’s right for me with an attitude of “who cares what society thinks about my sex life”.

      Basically, if OP has sex and doesn’t brag about it, did he still enjoy it? Because sometimes I think guys like this don’t enjoy the sex for the sex, they want it for the status. And that’s whack.

        To be fair, there is a fun, consenting way to do so. Anon’s way ain’t it though.

      I am with you on this point. I never believed in sex just for the sake of sex, without any deeper connection. Although lately I have been having doubts about being so un-promiscuous. Oh well, some things you will never know. At least I’m glad I’m not the only “fool” out there

    Wouldn’t it be funny when he could not recognize the woman because she used a fake image, too?
