What kind of robot thinks "hey are you waiting for someone" sounds like a normal thing to ask a person?
Be me Stood up by obvious catfish Sad that I fell for it again Even worse, the man who's been drinking alone while staring at me for the last half hour is coming over. He smirks and asks "hey are you waiting for someone"? I instinctually interpret it as "do you have any witnesses arriving soon?"
You've been watching this person for half an hour, you pick up certain cues, like they being alone and waiting instead of making an order.
Well, he said it worked 10 times, and 85% of the time. He may mean it worked 10 out of 12 attempts and is rounding up from 83.3%
But let's be honest, he probably hadn't even attempted it once.
How does the math work that they did it 10x with 85% working?
Also wtf gaslighting. This is a whole new level of negging
It's almost like people think manipulating and lying to women to get them into bed is hilarious fun
That's not gaslighting. It's catfishing. Gaslighting is when you try to trick someone into thinking they're crazy or that their memory is unreliable by lying to them about events you both experienced or knew about.
people love to use new words they've learnt even when they've misunderstood what they actually mean. Funnily enough, that comment has been upvoted 83 times, showing that the majority of people are either fine in using terms in wrong context or are also not aware of the correct term.
You can't really deduce what the majority of people think without knowing the raw numbers of how many people saw it.
I suspect the majority probably didn't vote it at all
sure, there are people just leeching, but something objectively wrong usually gets more downvoted than upvoted.
Catfishing is defined by wikipedia as
a deceptive activity in which a person creates a fictional persona or fake identity on a social networking service, usually targeting a specific victim. The practice may be used for financial gain, to compromise a victim in some way, as a way to intentionally upset a victim, or for wish fulfillment.
OP made an account on Tinder and pretended to be a hot guy by utilizing the image of a totally different, super attractive man, for the purpose of exploiting women and manipulating them into being at a particular place at a particular time so he could make it seem like the person they matched with stood them up, only to show up as a less enticing backup option to someone who was emotionally compromised. I mean, he obviously didn't because none of this is real, but if he had, it would still be catfishing.
The only believable part is at the beginning where 30 women didn't go on a date with someone who uses 4chan after talking to them.
I think the term here is 'chadfishing.'
There are people who allegedly do stuff like this on Tinder, but it's mainly to push the incel narrative that you need a strong square jawline, huge chin, and other masculine features to even have a chance to match with ladies on Tinder.
Or course people claiming this could easily have faked screenshots, so take that with a massive grain of salt.
well it is a pretty shallow app.
being good looking helps. I've done tinder as a fat guy and as a fit guy (legitimately, i lost a load of weight for a while) and i got a lot more attention when i was fitter.
Do people think pilots are rich and powerful? I know a couple of pilots. They make about €90k a year and they are basically well qualified bus drivers.
Man, where to begin with this.
A. The pilots you know are making way more than most commercial pilots if those numbers aren't made up.
B. Nearly 100K in USD a year IS A LOT OF MONEY to most people, certainly nothing to scoff at. Way more than the median US income.
C. You're on fucking drugs if you legitimately believe that piloting a plan requires the same level of competency as driving a bus.
D. Who the fuck upvoted you?
The pilots I know are all working for the budget airline Ryanair (but not all with Irish contracts). I can't say anything about what a pilot earns in the US.
They describe themselves as bus drivers. Yes, it's more complex, there is a higher training level but not really skill. The biggest barrier is the cost of entry.
And being well above a national median salary hardly makes someone rich. Sure if you make 90k living in a backwater you might be better off than most people around you, but try buying a house in Dublin with a 90k salary

I was briefly confused as to why the PH level of thee pilots was improtant and then I realized it stood for pounds an hour.

Why is wanting a person with money even in the same ballpark of bad as lying to people to get them into bed?
Just because I don't understand or share the preference of someone doesn't mean I want them to get used like a fleshlight.
Is it seriously your opinion that a person wanting someone with money is a bad human being who deserves to be treated like what your workmate did?
This is simply misogyny. And people are ultra casual about it. That's seriously scary. I wonder what other partner preferences you think makes women basically lose their right to be treated with a baseline of respect.
This is a quote from you where you put women who want men with money on the same level as a guy exploiting them through manipulation:
My old workmate used to tell women he was a pilot. [...] but also bad on the women who dribble over money and power. Nobody was a great human being in that situation.
I am still waiting for your explanation on why women who want a guy with money are "bad".
So I can assume every man who wants an attractive and/or young(er) woman is also a bad human being who deserves to get manipulated and lied to for whatever reason. Got it!
The One Where They Telegraph A Joke From A Mile Off So Even The Stupid People Can Understand It
He's a fucking asshole when real that hopefully gets some real syphilis from one of his encounters.
I'm not an alcoholic that hangs around bars to fuck crying vulnerable women. Disgusting, I would rather find a woman while I'm at the movies, or my local auto parts store. I got car puns
This isn't an auto parts store and I'm not a woman, but I'd love to hear a car pun if you don't mind
Confucius say, "man who run behind car get exhausted"
"man who run in front of car get tired"
If the dude was getting 60 matches in two months he was already doing quite good for himself, no? Pretty sure that is above average.
Why do I feel promiscuity is disgusting? I have no connection to a stupid religion, neither do I care about social standards in that regard. Am I old fashioned or uptight? But since I was a teenager I despise it to the point I had the opportunity and said no, several times (when I was younger, I'm around 40 now) My buddies always said i'm stupid asf, I don't know. Am I? Got 2 girlfriends in my life, the last one now for 20 years (still going), all my experience you can count on one hand, I don't feel inhibited in my "skills", at least what the feedback tells me, but on the other hand there's clearly a bias, idk.
Whether you are more or less sociosexual (the scientific term) is partly genetic and partly environmental (and by that I mean more how your parents behave than whether or not you belong to a religion). It is completely normal to be turned off by promiscuity because you value a deeper connection.
I wonder if it's because you associate the concept of promiscuity with the behaviours and attitudes of people who treat sex as a trophy and a bragging right.
There's a big difference between someone who likes what they like and does it when they can in their own bedroom, and someone who uses manipulative tactics to have as much sex as they can and brag about it as though that makes them a winner at something, acting superior.
Growing up in a society that reinforces that behaviour (specifically, in men) has probably meant that the two concepts are linked, and your feelings towards one are the same as the other.
I'm a certified slut and that type of "sex as a conquest" behaviour feels gross to me too, and if that was the only way to have casual sex, I'd never have casual sex ever again, even though I like sex.
I think because I'm not a man, it was easier for me to separate the two concepts. If anything, I was shamed for promiscuity, so it helped me to explore what's right for me with an attitude of "who cares what society thinks about my sex life".
Basically, if OP has sex and doesn't brag about it, did he still enjoy it? Because sometimes I think guys like this don't enjoy the sex for the sex, they want it for the status. And that's whack.
Humans are animals, they have sex. There should be no stigma on it, like you're having. Do you see monkeys shame each other for fucking right in front of each other? If people want to have sex, they will have sex, and if you don't want that, fine. But don't ever judge anyone for their choice.
I am with you on this point. I never believed in sex just for the sake of sex, without any deeper connection. Although lately I have been having doubts about being so un-promiscuous. Oh well, some things you will never know. At least I’m glad I’m not the only “fool” out there
There are different types of sexuality. I can't remember the term, but there are many people who prefer to have connection first before having sex (you know, the type of sexuality and romance usually depicted in movies). Others are promiscuous and don't mind casual sex.
People are just different. Some are promiscuous, others aren't. So long as both parties communicate what they are trying to achieve and have mutual consent, it's not really an issue.
I think the problem is that most of people don't realise there are different types of attraction/sexuality. We either assume one is promiscuous looking for body count, or looking for long lasting relationship. I didn't even know that there is a term for the type of sexuality/attraction I mentioned on the first paragraph. I always refer to it as "normal" because that's how I am expected to view dating and relationship growing up.
Eh, there's nothing wrong with having only one or two long term relationships as long as it's healthy, but there's also nothing wrong with having many relationships.
Arguing a 4chan post was actually not just brain dead ramblings of a pathological liar was your first mistake
Yeah that’s clearly what I mean lmao.
You just said every person in this scenario was in the wrong, which would include the woman who did literally nothing wrong
You get ahold of yourself and learn how to communicate better.
I wouldn't call them "a dick" but women flocking to the most ridiculously attractive men and only to those men is kind of fucked up.
You’re making all kinds of assumptions that aren’t even mentioned in the story.
It was one lady who supposedly responded to recent rejection by sitting at the bar with anon whose appearance isn’t even bothered to be mentioned.
Taking a green text seriously as objective fact of what actually happened is probably a waste of time fam
P.s. your comment smells reeeeally bad like incel talk because of all the mopping and generalizing of women’s behavior.
Given a diverse system, the likelihood that you commingle with the popular choice becomes less and less as the popular choice becomes less and less popular.
Might be worth pursuing the life of a stoic if you’re disliking your current “flavor” of “cave”

I see someone just took philosophy 101 lol
It's a heck of a stretch to relate Plato's Cave to this conversation, it's so obvious you just recently learned about it and it blew your mind and you've been DYING to bring it up
You’re making all kinds of assumptions that aren’t even mentioned in the story.
It's a known and quantified thing that happens independent of the story, and is likely the impetus for the (probably fake) story.
Why do you people always start with that? I don't understand. It's the weirdest talking point. Why would you think "men are entitled to women" is a thing I'm suggesting?
I've heard that enough times that it's clearly a common theme in sjw circles but I've never understood where it comes from.
Why is it "fucked up" when women "flock" to attractive men?
Other people have called the fact some women only want rich and/or attractive men a reason for them being bad human beings. Or called the behaviour a problem.
I can't see another reason for thinking this way unless you believe men are somehow entitled to women.
Why is it “fucked up” when women “flock” to attractive men?
It's problematic for society. When one woman does it, well, it's just one woman, who cares. But when the majority of women do it? It contributes to the whole male lonileness epidemic. It's not fair, which again is easy to ignore on an individual level but when you scale it up to all of society, it promotes a pretty fucked up dynamic.
I guess you could say I think men should be entitled to a fair shot, not necessarily entitled to women. Or at the very least we could make a society that acknowledges the current dynamic and provides some level of emotional support for the less attractive men, instead of just pretending everything is fair and dandy and if your can't get a girl you just gotta try harder.
Shh don’t question the status quo bro. You don’t wanna do that bro.
Definitely don’t bring up how men doing this is traditionally seen as manipulative immediately but when anyone other than cis males do it, it’s just a silly little play ha ha he he ho ho
You seem like the kind of person that goes to stand up comedy shows to take notes on what offends you so you can bitch on twitter later.
