Truth is the second option one is just a normal ass guy. Everyone has emotions and needs. The fact is it's still taboo to be a "man" and have emotions.
Like honestly tell me any other option on there is preferable to someone with emotions... She acting like women don't require the same thing? Gtfoh. It's not even a bad thing. It's just a human thing.
I have no idea who this chick is, but it aint exactly a string of hits for us guys out here either. People suck in general.
Well, if we're generalizing THAT much, the dating pool for guys is just as bad.
We've got:
-women who will go out with you just for a free dinner date, then never talk to you again
-women who are looking for sugar daddies
-women obsessed with their socials (IG, TikTok, etc)
-women so unnatural you question they can still be considered human (lip fillers, butt lifts, boob jobs, have you ever heard of the term "Bimbofication"?)
-all of the above
In reality, there are so many more people in this world that don't fit any of these categories on the men or women side. It's just that a lot of the "dating pool" she's talking about is centered around dating apps. The real world is so much more diverse.
Relationships are emotional labor on both sides
People calling the effort you put in to support your partners, friends and family "emotional labor" are either blatantly misinformed or people who want a pass on not giving a shit about their "close ones".
Emotional labor, as a term, was created to explain the difficulties and effort someone has to engage in to regulate their emotions when they're constantly dealing with the suffering of other people during work. It's valid, just as long as you use it in its appropriate context. This dumbass appropriation of the term by a certain branch of liberals is like if someone used the physical concept of entropy to justify why they're never getting out of depression.
If someone only wants emotionless relationships with people they only interact with for their own benefit, and never giving a care in turn, that's legitimate, as long as they don't lie about their intentions. But that might also explain why this Hannah at the OP cannot find a good partner.
Me, an emotionally distant narcissistic porn addict: get on my level nerds
I thought the last one was just conservatives making stuff up until I joined Lemmy.
Don't get me wrong, the woman in the tweet is awful, especially the part about hating men who dare to have emotions, but I'm responding purely to the last thing on this list.
A lot of Lemmy users seem to think all they need to do to be immune to misogyny is to be leftist. It's just been getting real tiring for me browsing this site seeing men be praised for things they at the same time put women down for. Not that men shouldn't be praised for these things, but the double standard here is immense.
The major one I've noticed is putting down women for having a preference on height or even dick size, but men are allowed to only want big boobs or petite women because it's "a natural expression of human sexuality."
There's also that I've seen several times men on here complaining when women are given safe spaces and resources specifically for them, like job fairs and such, and the comments being filled with how it should have been open to men as well because not doing so is sexist, meanwhile being totally ok and even ecstatic when a resource is opened specifically for men.Like, I'm trans. I've lived on the other side of the coin. I'm glad men around here have a safe space to display their frustrations and discuss men's issues that in most places you'd be crucified for even mentioning. I just wish this could be a safe space for both genders, not just the one who holds the majority. There are a lot of times I feel straight up unwelcome on Lemmy simply because I'm a women.

There are probably also a lot of single autistic spectrums who are actively avoiding interacting with the rest of the pool.
Well yeah. The sane ones aren’t looking for relationships because of a combination of the world being on fire, money being worthless and nigh-impossible to obtain, and trauma from past toxic relationships. They decided to focus their efforts on their own lives rather than someone else’s.
Either that, or they don’t even need to date, because someone in their friend group snapped them up. Either or, really.
I have lots of female friends and from their stories in the dating scene, this is not far from reality. Of course, it's meant as a sort of social-commentary joke, so there's exaggeration and oversimplification, but there's a substrate of truth to to it.
What's best about the post is the second part. That personality-profile to social media link is spot on LOL
Fuck I m the first one, well at least I m not on 4chan
Pretty sure the Twitter ones outdated
Girl, if this is the way you view the dating pool, then maybe MGTOW has a valid point or three to consider.
I may have stepped off the dating field nearly thirty years ago, but in terms of the gratuitous misandry that I have seen as of the last decade or so, even if I were to become widowed I doubt I would ever want to step back onto it. The juice is just not worth the squeeze if I am seen as “the enemy” and facing unjustified hostility and adversarial arrogance long before you even get to know me.
Dating pool for hetero men: "Women who do not say 'literally' "

Search your feelings, you know it to be true
She sounds like the girl from Sens8 that was with the two gay Mexican dudes.
Women talk shit until they need something off the top shelf.
Lemmy is in the clear! (for now)

I don't post on any of these, but then I'm also already married so not part of the dating pool.
Oh right and which one posts on True Social because I reckon that she'll think those guys are the best.
What are "emotionally distant manipulators?" Some sort of emotionless man that tricks women into sex? Is that not the same as the sociopath?
It's time for you to quit porn boys
It's never been a better time to be a tall, rich white guy. My short kings are scaring off more pussy than a vacuum cleaner. 5'10? Now take off them high lifts and come correct. Profile picture ten years out of date and now you fat as shit, did you think your bankrupt luddite charisma would win her over?
