I'm a white flag because I have given up.

[–] GraniteM 20 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That's how I got into the majority of my relationships! I realized that I had like no game whatsoever and I just stopped trying, and weirdly enough that seemed to work okay.

The key here is that people can practically smell strong emotions like anger, hunger, fear, anxiety, and lust. Free yourself from those - basically run out of fucks - and you can pass for someone that just oozes strength and confidence.

Oh dear.. the dejected warp core is oozing fucks

[–] dejected_warp_core 1 points 6 months ago

You know it. ::finger guns:: 😉

'Please, ma'am, might I have a crumb of pussy? Just a speck, please!'

[–] [email protected] 88 points 7 months ago (7 children)

Let's be honest, I think 90% of people are truly undateable. We just let our sex drive distract us from that.

[–] TexasDrunk 53 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Sounds like something a red flag would say. What are you doing this Saturday night?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Uhhh probably just wallowing in misery like usual

[–] TexasDrunk 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Red flag and wallowing in misery. If you've got parental issues then you're just my type.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I do, but I also have a penis. Dunno if you're into that or what

[–] TexasDrunk 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not really, but nobody is perfect. You're mine now.

Young love in the making, how beautiful

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Texasdrunk and Trainwreck will have beautiful, perpetually unstable alcoholic Texan children. Life is beautiful.

[–] GladiusB 16 points 7 months ago

Sounds boring. But probably correct.

[–] dejected_warp_core 13 points 7 months ago

If I've learned anything, it's that "date-able" is never to be confused with "sex-able". Of course, like all good advice, this is easier said than done.

Lemon Demon is still around? Crazy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Well, spirit phone was 8 years ago. Neil hasn't done much under the Lemon Demon name since then

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

That was ... better than I expected. Nice.

Fat chicks need love too

[–] [email protected] 38 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I can't relate b/c I am nowhere close to being this hot irl :-P

[–] Furn4c3 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I found that hot people tend to be as deep as a kiddie pool. You may have lucked out

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Personally, I found that it's all too easy to mistake a differently shaped pool for a kiddie pool. Most of them are as hot as they are, because they've got some deep cuts, always thinking of themselves as ugly. Most will also have stories of sexual harassment to tell.

Doing all the sports, makeup etc. does bind time, which they cannot spend pursuing interests that you share. And if you dismiss them for that reason, then of course, they will never tell of their darkest waters, which will make them look all the more like a kiddie pool.

[–] Furn4c3 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I didn't mean to dismiss good looking people with great personalities. Sure, sometimes their interests don't line up with mine or they may be interested in things commonly viewed as basic but that doesn't dismiss the complexity of their character and I didn't mean to insinuate as such. I've just noticed a trend of people who think that their looks will take them everywhere in life and have willful ignorance towards the intricacies of life

[–] captainlezbian 1 points 6 months ago

Oh I may not meet those people. I tend to find those who’ve got where I’m going tend to have a thought or two in their head. Maybe it’s an odd one, but it’s there.

But I’m not where normal folks wind up

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Hehe, no wonder I'm so smart then!? :-P

[–] Noodle07 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I met the new intern who's going to deal with my meds prescriptions for the next 6 months, omg she's so cute it hurts. So here I am, explaining to her everything that is wrong with and why I'm a train wreck... It hurts

[–] herrwoland 4 points 6 months ago

She can fix you.

"Red Flag" is a term assigned to events that are foreboding of terrible consequences, such as a man who talks a lot about his ex and collects firearms or a woman who lacks empathy towards others and drinks cinnamon whiskey.

The meme therefor translates as:

"When you find a nice good person who is dateable but you yourself have become the problematic person in the potential relationship."

[–] Bruhh 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I really dislike the current use of red flag. Seems it's used for any personality trait one doesn't like instead of being an actual red flag. I think people who freely use the term red flag are judgmental and thats a big...red flag...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

What do you think red flag means other than incompatability? It's not like the usage has changed, it's always been meant to signify "I don't like this about you".

I don't disagree with you about judgemental people overusing it, though. But that's just judgemental behavior in general, I think you might just not like judgy people - which is fair.

[–] Bruhh 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I use to think a red flag was a telling sign that someone isn't who they say they are, borderline psycho or have other underlying issues such as being abusive or manipulative.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That makes no sense though, so a green flag is 'thing I like about you' and a red flag is 'you are a lying manipulative and abusive sociopath'??

I think this may just be your interpretation, I'm 30 and I've literally never heard it used to mean this.

[–] Bruhh 1 points 6 months ago

I worded that poorly but I said it was a telling sign, like a warning. Maybe the person spreads rumors or compulsively lies. Granted, it's always difficult to spot signs of true manipulators when you are the victim. But you're probably right though, it might just be my interpretation.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

That's my secret cap, I'm always red flags.
