“Can think for herself” makes me thing they’re just trolling

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 39 points 7 months ago

You are underestimating christo-fascists and their desire for ultra traditional gender roles.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 30 points 7 months ago

Has all teeth ✔️

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

Yeah thats just too over the top

[-] uriel238 15 points 7 months ago

Thinking for herself is a requirement in the industrialized world, since adulting is a subset. Maybe there's a farm that raises gentle ladies-in-waiting with only domestic skills the way we train service dogs to help disabled people, but such women are not found in general society.

Also, not thinking for herself makes her unemployable in a society where all adults are required to earn a living (which often takes more than one full-time job). So this requirement implies the guy is rich enough to afford a family on one income.

In short, like the 1950s man, he's not looking for a date or a wife. He's looking for a household appliance. Kenmore will sort him out.

As for ~~the rest of us losers~~ working class guys, real women who think for them selves and can adult are an asset and a keeper. Heck, if they can think for us too, sometimes, that's a bonus.

"Can think for herself".

Dude really wants to do the "Where do you want to go eat?" "I dunno, where do you want to go eat?" vicious cycle?

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 67 points 7 months ago

He forgot to include "- Can recognize satire"

[-] jlow@beehaw.org 30 points 7 months ago

Yeah, this has to be satire, right? Right?

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 20 points 7 months ago

My Poe's law detector is flipping out rn.

[-] Gormadt 9 points 7 months ago

You'd hope so but it aligns way too close to a lot of the "trad wife" types for me to be too sure

[-] skulblaka@startrek.website 5 points 7 months ago

That just means it's good satire

Having a penis conspicuously absent from this list.

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 62 points 7 months ago

Even this guy knows trans women are women. That battle has been lost and won.

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 38 points 7 months ago

Trans Inclusive Radical Misogyny, where trans women are inferior because they're women, not because they're trans.

[-] Anise 7 points 7 months ago

This gives me gender ew-phoria

[-] abbiistabbii 57 points 7 months ago

This man is basically saying out loud "Don't date me, I just want a servant I can fuck."

[-] schnick@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 7 months ago

Oh and one that looks nice on pictures or at events.

[-] python@programming.dev 10 points 7 months ago

Ah, a Bangmaid!

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 55 points 7 months ago

I'm seriously on the fence with this one. A couple of points make it really difficult for it to not to be satire, but I've met guys who would unironically think of "can think for herself" as a malus - but they wouldn't admit it out loud. Now, can there be some kind of cave creature so pulled apart from civilized life that they would think this and post it?

Vaping would be a deal breaker for me. Besides being douchy, I just plain don’t like it, just how I hate smoking. Piercings I probably wouldn’t like outa taste, but someone who can think for themselves is a must otherwise I’d get bored quickly. Not being able to cook would be somewhat problematic as I can’t cook well either, soooo…

[-] jlow@beehaw.org 21 points 7 months ago

You can learn to cook together 😻

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 6 points 7 months ago

The type of person that wants someone that can't think for them selves....isn't really that high on the mental flag pole of life.

But the saying is code for a bunch of stuff, I really doubt that they mean they are searching for someone with severe brain damage and has trouble performing even the basic functions of life.

This guy is a troll, which does not rule out also being a sexist bigot.

In any joke there's a part you believe and a part you don't.

[-] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 7 months ago

"Can think for herself"
Give this man an inflatable fuckdoll

Cannot cook, only 8/10

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

Really think everyone should know how to cook, at least the basics

[-] TheEntity@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

Sadly that's very likely not what that person meant.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I know, but that would be on my list too (tho it wouldnt just make someone a '1/10')

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

How a guy can go his entire life as a virgin.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 7 months ago

I am pretty sure it's satire. "Has driver's license, can think for herself"
That must be satire.

Lots of these are on my list of wants in a partner. Give me a tatt'd up sailor mouthed gym rat any day of the week. Driver's license optional.

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Seemed realistic enough at first but then "thinks for herself" and "been to more than 3 countries" puts this obviously in satire land.

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 15 points 7 months ago

This person needs to hire a cook and get a sex doll. Actually scratch that, door dash. He's way too fucked to interact with other humans. I feel bad for anyone in his life.

[-] CCF_100@sh.itjust.works 13 points 7 months ago

Plot twist: He's creating impossible standards for women because he's secretly a closeted gay man and doesn't want to date a woman

The only thing that can take a ten to a one is not having a goblet made from a skull of one of her slain enemies!

[-] aiden@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago

Yes people this is satire is obvious. Get off the Internet a bit

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago

There are people who are genuinely like this, and his profile pic fits the bill too. I wouldn't assume this to be satire or sarcasm without seeing more of their profile first.

I choose to believe he's counting backwards from 10, and I got 12/14 so I'm gonna call my score -1/10 and hope guys like this avoid me 😂

Only missed 500 IG followers and hugging the bouncer. But I like to think I'd hug a nice bouncer :)

For some reason I have a real bad phobia of piercings, which is unfortunate, as most hot people have them.

You should curse more just to be save.

[-] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago

You should really start using profanity more. It's really fucking fun

[-] ToastedPlanet 7 points 7 months ago

People hold these views. The fact he's trolling doesn't exclude him from holding some or all of them. Whether he holds these views or not isn't relevant to understanding these views. Here are some reasons why a conservative man would hold these views.

These threaten his religious sensibilities:

  • Use of profanity or vulgar language
  • Any piercings
  • Vapes
  • Hugs the bouncer on a night out
  • Skimpy clothing
  • Tattoos
  • Atheist

These threaten traditional roles for women, which he needs to deny women access to public life and define his own masculinity:

  • Over 500 followers on IG
  • Has a twitter account (Other microblogging platforms do count)
  • Cannot cook

These threaten his masculinity because he associates them with men:

  • Knows what a barbell is
  • Been to more than 3 countries

These threaten the dependence that he thinks women should have on him and all the other reasons apply to these as well:

  • Has a drivers license
  • Can think for herself
[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Yea hes pretty picky, but don't y'all pretend you dont also have your own instant deal breakers. I share a few with this list:

Vapes

Hugs bouncer on a night out (Tbh that is weird but also I wouldn't date someone who goes out to bars anyways, just not my kind of life, ya know?)

500 followers on Instagram

Everything else on that list is either just fine or even a bonus

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 months ago

Bro like 3/4 of that list are requirements for me or neutral.

[-] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Cannot cook is a turn off tho. Everyone should know how to cook, at least somewhat.

[-] Nounka@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

That makes me a 0 ... ( Depending what he thinks about te stuff I do cook )

Have been called worser things than a null points. But somehow in this case I see it as a compliment.
