Proposition: If x is good, then x is taken. Fact: there exists an example that is bad and single. The fact doesn't really prove the proposition, it just doesn't disprove it. Even from a Bayesian perspective, it would only provide very weak evidence... I think?

You are statically probably correct. Probably the best kind of correct.

Sorry. I meant stoically. Or stochastically.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 44 points 1 month ago

Wait a minute... she is single too, right!? RIGHT!?!?

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 month ago

Actually that's what I understood the comic meme was about.
I thought he just got upset by her saying she's not good about herself. You know, like "Come on, don't say that!"

Just shows how well I can understand everything...

I like how you and the person you were answering to think. It opened a new perspective for me and showed me my bias. Thank you. Please continue to understand things that well and let others know about it. ๐Ÿ˜€

I like how incredibly wholesome your comment is.

Also I agree. I hadn't thought about either of those things but I like the perspectives.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago

The classic gender stereotypical joke is that women are selfish, so she doesn't "see" him (as a viable partner) bc while he's there, he's not "one of the good ones". Then, regardless of whether he is and she simply does not see it, or perhaps he is legit not, either way he's upset at her brazenness - like even if it were true, why rub it in his face like that? Just keep those kinds of thoughts to herself!

Oh shit I think you might be onto something

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

With a comment like that, she ain't one the good ones.

At the risk of overanalyzing a web comic, I feel it's worth cautioning that this screams toxic nice guy syndrome.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

I'm gonna bring this up every time I see it brought up.

Why are men not allowed to criticize the current dating situation/women at all?

Every time a guy brings up how modern dating sucks there's always someone calling him an incel or something of the sort.

It just proves the point that dating in the modern day for men sucks. We literally can't even have an opinion without being insulted and belittled.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Would I be correct to assume you weren't dating before the internet? If you think modern dating sucks, then go try to find a decent partner at an alcohol bar.

Dating is drastically easier for everyone than it was just a generation ago.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Whether it's easier or not is completely irrelevant to my point.

Men aren't allowed to complain without a whole swath of people insulting/belittling/patronizing them.

I've had the same kind of trauma from women that women claim men have given them yet I'm not allowed to vent my frustrations about that trauma without being called an incel. I'm a victim of sexual abuse but I'm not allowed to bring it up because I'm a man.

I'd choose the fuckin bear over a woman.

But that just makes me "part of the problem"

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

the point that dating in the modern day for men sucks

This is your point, right? I'm not disputing that there are some factors that are harder, but overall it is now much easier than it used to be. The people who listened to your complaints before the internet (your actual friends) will still respond to those complaints with sympathy today.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

She's still a jerk for phrasing it that way in his face. Rejection hurts bad enough without then salting the wound.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works -4 points 1 month ago

At the risk of overanalyzing a web comic, I feel it's worth cautioning that the word "yeah" has an H in it.

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I mean, I'm not single, so it seems true ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

She just doesn't know me yet.

[-] Juice64@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ooh that would sting
