"That's a man, man!"

"Austin, that's my mother!"

"Well you have to admit, she does look a bit man-ish..."

I feel like this meme was made by a gen z kid that grew up with filtered pictures being normal

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm gen z but my problem is mostly that I tend to be attracted to my friends more... Which kinda limits the pool. Whoops.

[–] CandleTiger 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It limits the pool for sure but when it works it works real good. Good luck to you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

True, so far it hasn't really worked out though. And it also makes it much harder to get over someone. In the end I'll probably find someone but with a lot of hurt along the way before I do, I imagine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Honestly this is the best way.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Idk i find like 80% of women i know attractive, its just that i have such confidence problems i dont ask anybody out.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Remember, if you find them attractive that means they're out of your league!

[–] [email protected] 119 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Now try finding someone you find attractive and who also finds you attractive in return (it's impossible).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Honestly if you lower your standards it gets pretty easy.

I did a calculation once about my chances of finding a compatible long-term partner, inspired by the Drake Equation and using many many assumptions. The numbers are not good: ~22 out of 8 billion.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 days ago (7 children)

As a married man, I gotta say you’re probably selling yourself short or have unrealistic expectations of a partner.

Remember that whoever you’re going to date is a person, not a robot. People are not quantifiable. One day they may be a dick, the next they may be pleasant. Some people are willing to compromise and others aren’t. Man, woman, or other, it doesn’t matter. If you’re not willing to compromise something, you’re never going to find someone.

So you're saying there's a chance

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That seems absurdly low. Are you sure that all of your criteria are non-negotiable? And entirely uncorrelated?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Look I wasn't completely serious about it, there's no way to actually calculate something like that.
For example what's the fraction of people that find me attractive. It could range from 0.05 to 0.5. I have no way of knowing.

Wouldn't be a problem if someone took dating as seriously as Skyscanner takes flight tickets.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yall need to lower your expectations god damn

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I like reminding my single friends that 73% of Americans are considered overweight. 41% are obese.

A shocking amount of my male friends are overweight or obese and refuse to date overweight women.

Give it time. Sometimes they can start out vanilla and warm to the idea of kinks through your relationship. Usually those kind of things aren’t set in stone.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

That's the boat I'm in, except that I'm also gay and the popular trend is poligamy. :) Fml

you, standing on a cliff overlooking the horizon, and ten billion light-years away there is a point you will never, ever be physically capable of reaching because the very expansion of the cosmic medium itself will move it further away from you than it already is now even if you traveled in that direction at the speed of light for ten billion years.

caption: finding a girl who finds YOU attractive

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Over the years of talking with my wife about who we find attractive, she has realized I find almost all women attractive in some ways and normally the ones that are supposed to be attractive i find less attractive. She hated this realization because she applied it to herself, and it made her feel bad... I just find the good in most people, that's all!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There’s a coworker of mine that when the topic arises and he gets asked what is his preference (in terms of the types of women he likes) his response is “women” 😂

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

he likes: big girls, pretty kitty girls, really witty girls, singin' ditty girls; he likes the leggy girls with the nice thighs; he likes a good chest no matter what size; he likes the belly folds, he likes the sixpacks, really tall queens, and the shortstacks, from the mild girls to the wild girls...

yea

he likes girls

now imagine being gay and the dating pool is 90% smaller.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Be ace and the dating pool is 100% smaller.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 days ago

Be me and the dating pool is 200% smaller.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I swear this has the opposite effect. In more than one instance, I've told someone I'm ace and it's made them more persistent, like they're thinking 'Oh, I can fix that.' No, I assure you, you can't. Please stop. :(

Now imagine dating exclusively in the furry fandom (while also being gay)

E: rawr, shoot your shot if this matches you :p

I'm bi myself and a shut in. How do you find people in general I don't know.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 days ago (3 children)

From what I understand if you just stay in front of the computer that they will magically manifest inside your home.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago

Amazing, I'll just keep doing that thanks.

That's been something hard about transitioning, being aware of how fewer and fewer people find me attractive the further I go. Ah well, it's not like I was going to find a partner anyways, looks really never came into play in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

... or worse: becoming only more "attractive" to chasers

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

The upper one depicts the guys around me. I can go through the lower one, but the result is usually this.
