How does the math work that they did it 10x with 85% working?
Also wtf gaslighting. This is a whole new level of negging
I know right? It's almost like people lie on the internet.
Sure, but this is 4chan. They tend to operate with integrity.
Ooh sorry I said 'tegridy...it's completely different
I almost caught someone in a lie once but then I realized I was just stupid.
mfw I spread misinformation on the internet
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.
It's not even cat fishing cuz he's not pretending to be the matched person
Catfishing is defined by wikipedia as
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.
Dennis would be proud
The Dennis System is the only way!
It worked 10 times. We can guess he tried 12 times with 2 fails, 10/12 rounds up to 85%.
