Hey BB u want sum fuk?

[–] M137@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Wtf is hinge? And no matter what it is, that's some deep cringe.

Edit: hah, that rhymes.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago

"Woman of your caliber" and "apologize in person" is too much but honestly this is like 80% of a good approach: direct, short, setup a meeting in person, in public.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Cringe on my Hinge? We shall measure true caliber in Soulcalibur.

[–] NeilNuggetstrong@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

When I was young and tried to get dates on tinder I tried to come up with a carefully thought out opening line for every match. That hardly worked and probably had the opposite effect. Once I started to just don't give a shit, and ask directly if they would like to meet for a beer, coffee, bowling or something I got quite a few dates.

If I couldn't get a date planned within the first few messages, or the second day after matching, I just moved on. A lot of people are just interested in validation and are not really interested in meeting up.

This guy's message is a bit edgy, but at least he's straight to the point. She probably ignored him, and he just moved on.

You know what, it's not for me but I'll give the guy credit, it's at least somewhat original in the sea of mediocrity that is online dating. A bit of self-depreciation too.

If he'd just worded that first line a bit differently, it might not even come across as creepy, but alas...

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah caliber kind of gives an insight into treating people as fungible objects IMO.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 28 minutes ago

I must be the only one in the comment section who didn't feel weird about that

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 89 points 1 day ago

I can just sense the collection of fedoras from all the way here

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 69 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd rather die virgin than be a simp like this.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 60 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This isn’t even simping, this is like condensed anime cringe converted into a pickup line. Which might work, I guess. I still occasionally see girls with that anime nose shine makeup so there might be a market a “nothing personel” sigma

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 minutes ago

I dunno – if someone said these exact words to me but sarcastically, that might actually work. Like, we might wind up having a conversation about how cringe this is, and so this line might work in a way.

[–] BonsaiBoo@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I read it divorced dad energy, the kind who is old enough to have watched Akira, but was too busy jerking off in the corner of his frat house to do so.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I saw it as a cheesy compliment with an added layer of cheesy humour.
And most people like compliments and cheesy jokes.

But then again I also saw the top comment as an Andrew Tate-ish, "I'd rather be an incel than attempt to compliment a woman", so what do I know...

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

A test (I just made up) to see which is the incel comment: which one most-readily accepts a "m'lady?"

The fact that a woman of your caliber is on Hinge speaks poorly of the men in our generation, M'LADY. I'm sorry for them. Let me take you out and apologize in person.

[–] whalebiologist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Its not possible to genuinely compliment a stranger without putting in a lot of effort, which is creepy. Compliments should be for your friends and family, not thrown away freely in the desperate hope of making a connection. Should this opinion put me in the company of actual, human slave owner Andrew Tate??

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Four score and seven years ago, m'lady...

To be, or not to be...m'lady

Once upon a midnight dreary, m'lady...

Seems legit...

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The last two seem at least plausible. Both huge nerds. And Lincoln probably wanted more of Joshua Speed than society allowed, so...kinda, maybe?

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Abe was a champion wrestler and had a great job as a railroad lawyer.

What he wanted, he got.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Tryong to think of a British equivalent of 'm'lady' because that phraee is unheard of here

[–] whalebiologist@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

brother. the phrase is unheard of there? the place where people live in medieval castles has no equivalent phrase you say? Nothing springs forth in your mind, truly, bestowing honorifics is such an American concept that no one in your entire nation has heard of the phrase: "MY LADY". I swear to allah, that I will grab you through this screen with both hands and just shake you to hear the sound of two baked beans rattling around in that vacuous cave between your ears you tea swilling nonce.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Not in the kind of neckbeard simp context. Only in the historical one

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Thank you. I just couldn't even muster the energy to respond.

She doesn't even look like a real person.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

People did that porcelain doll makeup when I was a kid, so I can’t disparage them for the follies of youth

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't know if this guy wants fuck somebody or murder them, but I have no faith in his ability to do either thing properly.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.

So.... Probably a bot, yeah?

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 7 points 1 day ago

the only thing hes yet to do is invite you to his cabin in the woods

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

All this tells me is he is a man that needs to out others down to make himself feel better.
