I have some money and don't eat like shit now, why no women?

If your personality's garbage, no woman is going to want to be with you.

Nah I'm sure calling science students "stemfags" and generally acting like a 4chan dickwad is super attractive to the ladies

Came here to say this exact thing. Crazy to me how people can use weird ass terms like this and not understand why people are put off

Lad in my class was trying to get a girl and was talking about how "that bitch still hasn't replied to my message", and I was thinking that no wonder he couldn't get a girlfriend if that was his attitude. To top it off, she actually did reply several days ago 😂

Same guy also cheated on his previous girlfriend

What even funnier to me is how people think this is how he would talk irl.

Just like people jumping on someone for saying something like "bitches be trippin"

"MaYbE iF yOu DiDnT rEfEr To ThEm As BiTcHeS"

Like bruh yeah I'm really out here only using bitch to refer to women

On the one hand, I agree, people don't always talk in real life the same way they do online. On the other hand, just the mental space where you think "stemfag" is a normal thing to type is enough of a signal that even if you don't say it in real life, you probably aren't the most pleasant person to be around

And I know that things like "stemfag" are part of 4chan's culture, and it is normal to say it there... But isn't active engagement in 4chan's culture enough of a red flag on its own?

Linguistically and culturally, bitch has been integrated into the English vernacular and the connotation isn't as misogynstic anymore. Stemfag though? You hear someone pull that one out then thst raises alarms.

Plus, if this is the internal process of someone then I wouldn't be surprised it bleeds into their every day life, with or without them knowing.

One of the best advice how to get a girlfriend comes strangely from Gravity Falls:

"...Listen to me, kid. When it comes to girls always be confident. And be funny, but not too funny. And be kinda annoying, but in a lovable way."

At least that sums up how I got my GF, now Fiancé.

You want to be funny in a charming way and a bit of a tease (the annoying part). So make the occasional dad joke, tell a funny anecdote, make funny observations and tease her a little bit but not in an insulting way. But don’t go full stand up comedian and spill out your inner clown or Bill Burr, most women aren’t attracted to that at all.

24

Funny, not a clown, you want to appear confident.

Annoying I wouldn't know why, but I guess it could help appearing more natural.

The problem with finding women that are into manchildren who stay in their basement all day is that you have to leave the basement

18

Not to mention that there is all the desperate cheeto finger dudes also looking for that single autistic girl who's into their anime figurine collection

You can be a popular streamer in the basement and she can be a fan

Why can't Americans just be normal and use the metric system rather than some shit like 5'11 120 lbs? What the heck is that

The stone isn't since it's not metric but the height legitimately is since I can just drop the e9 and get a reasonable height.

Since, yknow, metric makes sense.

Well, as the „n“ just stands for „E-9“ it really just says 1.8 m

I don't think you have ever measured an ant

lemmy not letting delete comments forever sucks. I just double posted by accident man!

It's funny, you try and be intentionally obtuse with the nano units, except doing it in metric doesn't work since "1.8" is still there.

That would be five minutes to eleven one hundred irritable bowl syndromes. You're welcome

I'll help explain:

5'11 is like 9'11 and describes the sidereal period when he was born.

The lbs in 120 lbs is for Likable Behavior Scale units. He's just saying his brother scored very high and is very likable.

The truth is that all Americans are comfortable with the metric system but we still use Imperial when we know it will bother you.

You guys crashed a probe into Mars the last time you tried to use metric.

And yet you insist we keep trying. For shame. What other celestial bodies do you want us to crash into?

Blame the British, both for inventing the system and for being so insufferable that we refused to change to metric along with them

2

They didn't fully switch. The chart of measurements used by the British is very.. random.

It's too late for us, once the end comes and we've split into multiple countries we'll finally have the opportunity for genuine reform

Because it makes other countries mad using our freedom units

Some day people will change the term millenial to mean people born in the previous millenium

If you're on 4chan, then your personality is immediately a problem. Especially writing green texts and ending things with -fag and considering yourself an adult.

What are you doing wrong? Well, we can certainly rule out the website you’re frequently on.
