Well, at least he don’t call her a feeeeeemale
Hey BB u want sum fuk?
Wtf is hinge? And no matter what it is, that’s some deep cringe.
Edit: hah, that rhymes.
Intended to be classy Tinder
“Woman of your caliber” and “apologize in person” is too much but honestly this is like 80% of a good approach: direct, short, setup a meeting in person, in public.
Cringe on my Hinge? We shall measure true caliber in Soulcalibur.
When I was young and tried to get dates on tinder I tried to come up with a carefully thought out opening line for every match. That hardly worked and probably had the opposite effect. Once I started to just don’t give a shit, and ask directly if they would like to meet for a beer, coffee, bowling or something I got quite a few dates.
If I couldn’t get a date planned within the first few messages, or the second day after matching, I just moved on. A lot of people are just interested in validation and are not really interested in meeting up.
This guy’s message is a bit edgy, but at least he’s straight to the point. She probably ignored him, and he just moved on.
I can just sense the collection of fedoras from all the way here
You know what, it’s not for me but I’ll give the guy credit, it’s at least somewhat original in the sea of mediocrity that is online dating. A bit of self-depreciation too.
If he’d just worded that first line a bit differently, it might not even come across as creepy, but alas…
Yeah caliber kind of gives an insight into treating people as fungible objects IMO.
I must be the only one in the comment section who didn’t feel weird about that
I’d rather die virgin than be a simp like this.
This isn’t even simping, this is like condensed anime cringe converted into a pickup line. Which might work, I guess. I still occasionally see girls with that anime nose shine makeup so there might be a market for a “nothing personel” sigma
I dunno – if someone said these exact words to me but sarcastically, that might actually work. Like, we might wind up having a conversation about how cringe this is, and so this line might work in a way.
The fact that a woman of your caliber is on Lemmy speaks poorly of the men in our generation. I’m sorry for them. Let me take you out and apologize in person.
I’m sorry, but you definitely walked into that one
I read it divorced dad energy, the kind who is old enough to have watched Akira, but was too busy jerking off in the corner of his frat house to do so.
I saw it as a cheesy compliment with an added layer of cheesy humour.
And most people like compliments and cheesy jokes.But then again I also saw the top comment as an Andrew Tate-ish, “I’d rather be an incel than attempt to compliment a woman”, so what do I know…
A test (I just made up) to see which is the incel comment: which one most-readily accepts a “m’lady?”
The fact that a woman of your caliber is on Hinge speaks poorly of the men in our generation, M’LADY. I’m sorry for them. Let me take you out and apologize in person.
Four score and seven years ago, m’lady…
To be, or not to be…m’lady
Once upon a midnight dreary, m’lady…
Seems legit…
The last two seem at least plausible. Both huge nerds. And Lincoln probably wanted more of Joshua Speed than society allowed, so…kinda, maybe?
Abe was a champion wrestler and had a great job as a railroad lawyer.
What he wanted, he got.
Its not possible to genuinely compliment a stranger without putting in a lot of effort, which is creepy. Compliments should be for your friends and family, not thrown away freely in the desperate hope of making a connection. Should this opinion put me in the company of actual, human slave owner Andrew Tate??
A long time ago, I saw a reddit comment that observed the truth that men rarely get compliments, but when they do it probably means a lot; and women frequently get compliments but they’re usually fairly meaningless because often the comment originates with someone who wants something from them.
I never really thought about it before then, but the part I’ve experienced is true - I am a man, am rarely complimented, and am very grateful when I am. As such, since then, at every opportunity, I’ve complimented strangers - male and female - especially on something that clearly took courage or effort, like a loud shirt or an elaborate hairdo.
I try to do so in situations that make it clear I’m not seeking seeking anything in return, such as when the stranger and I are headed in opposite directions through a store vestibule. Hopefully that lends an air of authenticity to them. I’ve definitely gotten very rewarding responses more than once.
Tryong to think of a British equivalent of ‘m’lady’ because that phraee is unheard of here
brother. the phrase is unheard of there? the place where people live in medieval castles has no equivalent phrase you say? Nothing springs forth in your mind, truly, bestowing honorifics is such an American concept that no one in your entire nation has heard of the phrase: “MY LADY”. I swear to allah, that I will grab you through this screen with both hands and just shake you to hear the sound of two baked beans rattling around in that vacuous cave between your ears you tea swilling nonce.
Not in the kind of neckbeard simp context. Only in the historical one
Thank you. I just couldn’t even muster the energy to respond.

Nose shine makeup?

It seems goofy. I do not understand it, personally.
She doesn’t even look like a real person.
People did that porcelain doll makeup when I was a kid, so I can’t disparage them for the follies of youth
Don’t know if this guy wants fuck somebody or murder them, but I have no faith in his ability to do either thing properly.
Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.
First one, then t’other
But which order?
Does it matter? The darkness of oblivion awaits either way
the only thing hes yet to do is invite you to his cabin in the woods
