  I bet you the Venn diagram of doing this crap and being incapable of comprehending why women picked the bear is a perfect circle.

    What does “picked the bear” mean?

      If you are a woman alone in the woods, would you rather come across an unknown man, or a bear? It’s a thought experiment. As a human woman, which represents a greater immanent threat?

  Fuck I hate being male sometimes. What swamp do these skeezy sexist MAGA guys crawl out of?

    You’d be surprised how many of these guys didn’t vote for Trump. Incels and woman haters exist across the spectrum. What we need is for social media to actually ban this content. But it makes them money.

    if it’s any consolation, it does make the bar for picking up woman incredibly low. just don’t be a complete creep and your at top of the curve

      I recently re-entered the dating pool for the first time in a decade and it’s incredible how much attention I get from just appearing clean, having my shit together, and not posting a picture with me holding a fish. Never got so much attention from women before in my life. Had a date in like one week.

      The bar is very, very low. I am sorry, ladies out there.

    This particular sleaze is definitely male perpetuated and worth calling out. But shittiness knows no gender (or age or ethnicity for that matter.)

    It’s fun being deeply ashamed of your gender because some of us are filth and scum.

    These fuckers harm everyone with their actions. Wish we could do something actionable about it.

    This is honestly better than what I’ve encountered. At least they are trying to attract a woman.

    There are types who can both hate a woman’s personality and envy those she likes and hate her for not liking them, all at the same time.

    But yes, being male, I’ve been recently inspired by reading about medical advancements in procreation without boys. This will be necessary to counter the population growth on the side of various shmucks and their abused wives.

    (I’ve recently learned I have no right to call myself a shmuck since 13 years ago.)

  I remember ages ago some show on tv that had a prototype style of these glasses where the person also had to wear a huge backpack and it was like a gotcha style show but it turned out most people just wanted to try and help whoever was wearing the the stuff and I’m rambling.

  The show skeeved me out but my parents were like “oh look how bulky it is, you’ll know if someone is using it!” And I tried to articulate yeah, and we use to only have record players and now I have a cd player but they waved it off.

  Stomping around annoyed I was right!

  I might be interested in watching the crash reel though.

    I would watch someone successfully negotiating buying a used car for a good price at a dealer.

      See, this is the kind of thing we need those glasses for. Just blur the face and the name tag, alter the voice. Not doxxing anyone. Then show what happened in a non-sexual situation.

      But no. People have to use it like perverts.

  Probably easier if they use their hands instead

    I assure you, they can’t do that either

    What, you don’t like being manfluenced? Something off-putting to you about manfluence? What’s wrong with being a manfluencing manfluencer?

      It’s giving me manfluenza.

  *Get approached by some dude in glasses *He hits on you *Leave

  I feel bad for people who need glasses

    This is just going to popularize thin rim glasses haha.

      I’ve already adopted the transparent frame: nothing to hide, only my undivided attention if they’d like to geek out about their special interests or just want someone to listen.

      I’m partial to OVVO, I tend to be pretty hard on frames (-8 prescription, I can’t not wear glasses), but the two pairs I’ve had have been nigh indestructible- deceptively sturdy especially given how thin and light they are. (Bonus points for not being part of the eyeglass cartel too)

  The solution involves hammers.
