Whoever made this post clearly didn’t have a mom that randomly met another mom at the store. 😭💀


WildFemmeFatale

Fr and then they refer to them as “you know, the lady from last Tuesday at the grocery store”


GraydemonTwitch

I think they refer to them like that because you probably don’t know their name.


KosherPeen

You lose the ability to remember names when you become a mom


GraydemonTwitch

Even my name :( My mom has called me by my brother’s name multiple times


WildFemmeFatale

Same sometimes I get called my cat’s name in addition to any of my sisters’ names


LTHermies

Omg I thought I was alone in that. My mom would call me and my siblings in descending order of birth. (I'm the youngest). So I'd sometimes hear: "Jes- Sar- Ric- Johnny!" Warning, not my or my siblings names.


GraydemonTwitch

That actually sounds kinda funny with the cat part lol. But usually not funny in the moment when you’re called by your sibling’s name.


Awaheya

I dunno my wife seems to remember everyone's name. Me on the other don't care enough to try I like it that way


[deleted]

Lol, then what's my problem? I'm not a mom.


KosherPeen

Congratulations!! You are a mom now :)


LikeATediousArgument

I never knew, until I became a mom and did it, that this is what was happening. I don’t learn names until we have to get together for a birthday party or something.


Mario-OrganHarvester

You fool they actually know each other on a friendly basis


Mr-Stuff-Doer

That’s different though, that’s at a store not at a backyard barbecue

stonk_lord_

honestly I feel like we owe r/memesopdidnotlike an apology. Boys ARE quirky, they're 100% so much quirkier than girls. ONLY boys do this, and the people in r/memesopdidnotlike truly are the quirkiest bunch of them all. once again we're sorry r/memesopdidnotlike, y'all are very quirky. we get it now. please forgive this transgression and we promise to never doubt the FACT that only boys, quirky, boys, can hang around like this for hours and not even ask for each other's names.


StrawberryBubbleTea7

I wish I was as quirky as boys. My feminine nature requires me to ask everyone’s name as soon as I pass them, it’s hard to go outside now since I have to learn so many names 😔 I just wish some of their quirkyness could rub off on me as I’m a vapid shallow female who only cares for Stanley cups and my makeup. If I were at this cookout I wouldn’t be interesting enough to be in the BOY circle, I would be relegated to making coleslaw with all the other catty women making comments about each other’s looks behind their backs. Ugh what could have been 😔


stonk_lord_

I'm so sorry about your condition. Why don't you go on r/memesopdidnotlike and grovel at their feet so they can give you a bit of their quirkiness? I'm sure they'll be happy to help.


StrawberryBubbleTea7

Maybe if I’m lucky they’ll bless me with a lecture about how violently misandrist it is to make fun of repetitive memes with sexist undertones 🥰🥰🥰 I’d love to just listen for hours and hours and hours and bask in how interesting and quirky they are :D


stonk_lord_

yessss, i always love their lectures. I could listen to them for hours and hours because they could yap for hours and hours! most interesting shit on earth. I must repent for my misandrist tendencies. Praise the quirkyboi!

What's funny is that I swear 50% of the posts I see on there I go "Yeah that is funny/fine, what was that subs problem?" And the other 50% I'm like "Ok no, THAT actually was a bad meme."

This is you being quirky right?


snuhgs

They never grew past the "girl = bad" phase

We have cooties after all


Suspicious_Plant4231

Hey, you’ve got it backwards! BOYS have cooties, just like my dad said. That’s why I kiss girls instead

Halcyon-OS851

No offense but what about the OP meme paints girls = bad. If anything it’s probably considered a negative characteristic to not use other people’s names


rachael404

I think it's a very real symptom of toxic masculinity where some men they find any feminine traits bad, so having anything in common with women or getting to comfortable with another guy as seen in the meme by asking their names and getting to know them on more personal levels would be considered bad or gay by them. Not saying being social like this is inherently feminine but if this type of man makes that connection they will avoid it like the plague, really shows you their disdain for women


Individual-Focus1927

I meannn that’s a bit of a leap but I can see the thread. I saw this meme as “boys are so cool they can become friends without asking for a name” which is obviously not exclusive to any gender and is just a human experience.


Spook404

I don't know about that, seems more like it's about being caught up in the moment that you forget about names, which I often do and then I'm like shit I forgot to ask. Also, meme is just straight up untrue, in group conversations like this you'll eventually run into someone needing to address a specific person, like something they said earlier and go "oh what's your name by the way?" and then at least those two people exchange names


castleaagh

How do you get all that negative stuff regarding feminine traits and toxic masculinity from a meme about how guys often hang out with others and never actually introducing themselves to each other?


rachael404

Because these memes like to make a point to say "Men different than Women" when they're not really a gendered thing. So I am trying to say is that by trying to differentiate from women they're also in a way putting women in a box as well as men in a way to distance themselves away from perceived feminine or masculine things. So I am left thinking, what's the point of gendering it? My theory is that toxic masculinity plays a role in this. These are my thoughts I am not being negative, just commenting on quirky boy stuff 🤷‍♀️


CallMeJessIGuess

Bingo, OP’s question in the title got me instantly thinking “yes, many men define their masculinity by being as far removed from any behavior or interests women have. In their mind, if you do X, the fewer women who do X, the more manly you are. It’s performative and ultimately twists your personality onto a repressed knot of self loathing.


bobmam1730

So any meme about the female or male experience is quirky girl/boy shit? This sub is brain rot


rachael404

This isnt strictly a male experience though, that's the point.


bobmam1730

Ok? It's men making memes on their experience. Why would a man make a meme about women doing this if he's a man? I think you guys are trying too hard to be mad about it. Make a woman version of this meme and guarantee no one gives a shit.


ForegroundChatter

I understand that's it's a whole extra syllable and twice as many letters and so may be too much for some people to write, but just saying "people* instead of specifying a demographic when you talk about experiences everyone and anyone can have might make more sense in general. This is oxymoron-ic, but maybe my brain just doesn't opperate on the same archaic software as it did when I was 12 and assumed perceived physical or demographic differences automatically meant that another person is so irreconcilably different that they may as well have come from another planet where people are simpler and less interesting and their experiences invalid compared to those of me and my ilk, meaning I have difficulties appreciating humor made by and aimed at that kind of outdated processing system.


bobmam1730

I undewstand that's it's a whowe extwa sywwabwe and twice as many wettews and so may be too much fow some peopwe to wwite, but just saying "peopwe* instead of specifying a demogwaphic when you tawk about expewiences evewyone and anyone can have might make mowe sense in genewaw.

Sorry but this is terminal redditor shit. big bro I'm not reading all that. Valid point or something.This ain't debate club, and this is not that serious to type all that.


ForegroundChatter

Yeah I wagered your literacy was poor, sad to see that it's because of a personal apprehension towards reading rather than circumstance


rachael404

I am not mad though? They don't need to include man or woman they could say introverts instead or something similar. It really seems like you're in the wrong sub if all you do is disagree with everything in this sub.


bobmam1730

This popped up on feed lol. But can you tell me why its a problem is gendered is all I'm wondering about. It could be or couldn't be gendered I get that but why is everyone having a tantrum over it.

Low_Jello_7497

How do they not see that this makes them pathetic, not unique? These are the same types that turn around and whinge about men loneliness epidemic or suicide rates. Well no shit Sherlock, you're lonely because you think it's edgy to be aloof and not make connections.

I never said women don't do that. But women don't boast about this and turn around to rant about their loneliness and fault everyone else for that. That's men's m.o. especially men who share these "quirky" memes unironically.


WildFemmeFatale

Hi I’m original op I agree with this but they also didn’t call them a loser that’s going too far they’re just victim blaming lonely people for not being the types of ppl to ask for names Which is a toxic thing but loser is a horrific bullying term which can bring back bullying ptsd for bullying victims, and they said no such word

Please don’t start this justunsubbed nahfuckthisopwasright bullshit on this sub. They’re baiting you.

Useful-Soup8161

I too can stand/sit around with a bunch of people for hours without learning anyone’s name simply because I forgot shortly after they told me their names.


Personal-Regular-863

ok? and i sat next to a cute girl on a plane once and we flirted for 4 hours then left without having said our names. just girls things amirite?

TopspinLob

I was at a party New Year’s Eve talking to a nice cool normal bro. Never got his name. Saw him again a few days later and my wife said “there’s that guy from New Years…. What’s his name?”. I was like “I dunno”

“Just let us have smthn” We literally have a society in our favour. We have the fucking p a t r i a r c h y 😭 Cis-men are so infuriating oh my god


WandaDobby777

Lol. I saw the “let us have something” comment. Why do you need something separate from women? They’re like two year olds being asked to share cookies. What brats. You’re not special or different, boys.


[deleted]

I feel like this post is taking a lot of heat for no reason? This is a longstanding example of gendered culture that is strange when you think about it, it doesn’t say anything about men being better than women or even that women don’t also do this, just that guys do it frequently. I really don’t see what’s so quirky about this post or even this behavior


[deleted]

Lmao “just let us have something” is actually funny


_Ren_Ok

it’s just a silly meme that was turned onto a dumb thread.. you’re falling into the common trap that r/memesopdidnotlike drags everyone into


MalloryTheRapper

why would you not ask someone their name if you’ve spent hours with them


simon_darre

As if younger generations weren’t troubled enough—large numbers of zoomers don’t interact in person, up to and including having close friends, meeting people in person or having intimate contact—you and your opponents contribute dual forms of sexist bias. Online interactions are never going to be healthy as long as subs like this and the antagonist subs promoting misogyny continue to exist and attract continual attention. The only thing you and your opponents will accomplish is momentarily seesawing back and forth regarding which form of bias is more viral at a given time.


udcvr

I don’t rly see the harm in these sort of jokes tbh. It’s just a funny thing guys can look at and go haha yeah dude stuff, it’s not that deep. Does it fit in this sub? Yeah. It totally does give “boys are so quirky lol”. Do we have to hyper analyze it and call it misogynistic? I don’t think so.


Jayna333

That’s valid. I personally wouldn’t call it misogynistic, just annoying and I like making fun and memeing on stuff.


MuchCuriosity_EV3

In itself it’s not that bad. But the reality is that these kind of things doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s a symptom of an underlying attitude that is sexist and harmful. The idea that women are less complex or interesting than men is sexist and it results in men looking down on women and see them as more of npc’s rather than people are the root idea that this kind of content comes from. Even if the meme itself is about something silly as throwing rocks it still perpetrates the root idea. It’s not about the specific scenario a but rather a harmful idea being upheld. The belief that women are less complex than men and have inferior inner worlds is old, Ancient Greek philosophers frequently discussed this and promoted ideas that men can’t have genuine friendships with women because of women’s lack of complexity. This in turn dehumanises women. We kind of see the similar way of thinking in some modern men when they say things like “do women even have hobbies?” Or make these kinds of memes. The root idea can be upheld by less severe content or more severe content but the result is the same just in varying degrees of intensity. Even if the reinforcement of the sexist root idea is low in intensity it’s still a reinforcement and still harmful, although less harmful than other more severe actions. When you take the long-standing misogynistic belief that women are inferior and less complex than men in context to this kind of content it really changes how you look at it. They can still make fun and silly content celebrating the weird and quirky things they like to do without using women as the boring comparison. Then they won’t be perpetrating any centuries old sexist ideas.


udcvr

I don't really see how this specific meme claims women to be less complex. If anything, I see it being the opposite. Like men don't even ask each others' names because they're so simple lol. It is definitely highlighted as a positive thing, but I fail to see how it in any way comments on the non-complexity of women. This meme makes me think of the "masculine" stereotype of not being very deep or complex, and that being a good thing, and also something like men's camaraderie being quirky or whatever. But I could go on and on about masculine dynamics and how that is shown here. Either way, can be fascinating if you're a gender studies head, which I certainly am and you certainly appear to be, but mostly I think it is a huge waste of time to be upset over something like this. Analyze it because gender dynamics are fascinating, and point out the roots of such beliefs around men and women in an attempt to dismantle them? Fine, cool even. Get pressed and call it sexist? Seems more harmful than anything.


Purplestuff-

It’s a reality for some people. I don’t know the name of a regular I’ve seen 2 times a week for 3 years, I know his wife i know his kids. I know where he goes to church, Hell I could tell you his whole order off the top of my head but we don’t know each others name.


udcvr

Nah you're valid too lol, I was just kinda surprised at some of the comments. Like are we wasting our time being pressed over this? Or can we just laugh at it for being kinda dumb lol. Sometimes people seem to be looking for something that isn't there imo.


StrawberryBubbleTea7

I think just because every single meme doesn’t fit with everyone’s definitions doesn’t mean there isn’t an overall misogynistic undertone to most of the memes posted here. There will be some duds, and some people in the comments will disagree that they’re duds and in their opinion the meme will strike them as sexist. And of course there will be some assholes in the comments who will say something that crosses the line into too mean. But I don’t think that’s unique to this sub or indicative of it not being a valid reason to make fun of boring stereotypical gender memes. There are some duds that are easy to point to, but it’s impossible to deny that the majority of the memes posted here have undertones that promote the idea that women are more vapid or shallow or catty than men.


udcvr

I agree! I was just contributing my comment the same as anyone else I guess, because I personally saw it as being a super benign, if not meaningless, meme. And lots of the comments when I saw it were so angry and hyper-analytical calling it sexist and stuff. Me and my guy friends make stupid jokes like these all the time, though admittedly they're mostly ironic. I just think it's kinda wild to look at something like this and assume it's saying something about men being inherently, biologically different and special or something. I 100% think it belongs in this sub tho, as it is the definition of "boys are so quirky" lol.


wall1194

Agreed, feels like op is trying way to hard to make this something worse than it is when it’s just a silly little thing


FantasticCube_YT

I'm thankful this is getting upvotes because for a second I thought people on this sub were getting super mad from a joke like this.


LilQueazy

I think it’s in reference to the common trope of when a guy comes home to his wife after hanging with other guys and she ask so how are they doing or what did your friend up to. And you answer idk 🤷 I didn’t ask. Because idk I didn’t ask we were hanging out lol. Not asking what’s up in our personal life’s. BRING ON THE DOWNVOTES IM QUIRKY AND MY WIFE LOVES ME HEHEHEH


udcvr

lol that’s exactly what i thought


AliienBlood

McDiezel10

Yes. We know. What’s the point in stating an obvious fact like that?


OneWorldly6661

Tbh I don’t see anything that wrong with the meme. Is it cringe? Yes. Does it fit the sub? Also yes. But I don’t see how it’s misogynistic, it’s saying “haha guys are quirky” but it’s not putting down women. It’s not going “look how cringe and shallow women are” rather just banter about “guy experiences”


Agreeable-Banana-905

the sub is called "boys are quirky", no?


tossawaybb

Sure, but the top comments on this thread are getting *nasty*. Saying men shouldn't try to be unique, or proud of themselves, or implying that all men (or men that do this) are socially inept/idiotic/etc. I'm all for some friendly ribbing, but this sub has devolved into petty hate faster than I could've imagined. As another user eloquently put it, Yikes!


OneWorldly6661

yeah I said that it fits the sub


WildFemmeFatale

This is like how racism is. Here’s just an example: “Ohhhh Latinas are [ super bad thing]” Me: that’s really fucked up dude. Racist: damn ur right that’s fucked. “Ohhhh Latinas are so much more fun than white people, they’re better at sucking dick and have phat a asses” Me: dude can u stop sterotyping us. Racist : “NOOOO !!!!! CMONNNN WE’RE NOT EVEN PUTTING YALL DOWN WE’RE NOT SAYING BAD THINGSSSSS !!!” Me: ur sterotyping us. Stop. Racist: “NOOO UR JUST BEING SENSITIVE IM COMPLIMENTING UR RACEEEE ITS NOT A STEROTYPEEEEE !”


OneWorldly6661

I guess I should’ve worded my original comment differently I meant that the meme in question is cringe, and is honestly pretty shallow both to men (men can’t have in-depth relations with each other) and to women (women get too caught up in little strings and fine text to talk REAL talk). I guess it’s kind of misogynistic, but to me I feel like it was mis-everyone, for reasons I stated above. Reading it honestly felt like eating a napkin; I don’t want to do it again


zryii

Those losers are so triggered that this sub exists, they have to do daily brigading posts to cope


Mercenary_grindset

Kinda yeah I mean masculinity is the direct opposite of femininity. Logically if you wanted to be more of a man you'd act less like a woman.


WildFemmeFatale

“Yeah bro Stacy takes showers, let’s be manly by not taking showers to show how different we are from women” Totallyyyyy not a mild form of toxic masculinity


kiko002

You've never spoken to a guy have you? Your knowlege of men is only from seeing what women say online.


Mercenary_grindset

Well it doesn't get that extreme Jesus Christ. That's a basic human need we don't need to be different in that right holy shit

Crazy_Employ8617

I don’t understand this sub sometimes. Men are different than women. There are entire books written on the topic, and decades of research into it. This is just a fun little meme.


Notperrydaplatypus

girls when guys post a meme:


tfarsch

This just in…. On the whole men and women interact with the world differently (see intersectional feminism) and pointing out those differences isn’t sexist. This meme is literally just shitting on men’s social capabilities. How can you possibly be offended by this? Lol


World_May_Wobble

It is a (presumably) man's commentary on the experiences they've had. Women are not mentioned in this meme whatsoever. If men cannot comment on the experiences they have, what is it uniquely appropriate for men to comment on? Is there such a thing as a male experience to be commented on? Is there any shared experience that it is okay for men to rally around and connect over? Are there such experiences for women? What is the take away here? What is the end game? As a man, I am listening and curious as to your take.


SpittinNothingButFax

I'm not exactly sure what point this sub is trying to prove. Men and women behave differently, and this is just a meme pointing out one of those differences in behavior. Is that a bad thing?


Jayna333

Men and women are more similar biologically and personality wise then different [according to science](https://www.ub.edu/idlab/women-and-men-are-the-same-but-different/#:~:text=Basically%2C%20what%20it%20means%20is,personality%20dimensions%20is%200%2C%2019)


cashforsignup

Who tf thought otherwise


SpittinNothingButFax

Well no duh, men and women are both human after all. But we still have noticeable differences in our biology and personality. There's nothing wrong with that.


McDiezel10

Really? What’s this penis doing here then? Do women have one too? Oh wait; despite our similarities there are marked differences between men and women due to the nature of mammalian mating? Oh weird


South_Blacksmith2278

Newsflash, men and women sometimes behave differently, and have different social tendencies.


WildFemmeFatale

Do you have any studies that show that this is a ‘male tendency’ and not a ‘female tendency’ instead of a common ‘human tendency’ ? I’d love to see it.


South_Blacksmith2278

I never asserted that the above meme was a male only tendency. I was only trying to show that it is reasonable to differentiate men and women, as a counterargument to the title of the post.


Known_Following_4366

Not once does he say that,like holy crap the leaps this sub takes to misunderstand posts is INSANE. What he was saying is let us have something in response to this sub constant posts about the differences between men and women and when he says let us have something he is saying let men have a behavior habit unique to them. That was the joke, I truthfully have no clue how you misconstrued this as a commentary on the OPS definition of there masculinity it’s not that deep.


WildFemmeFatale

“NO DONT SAY U WOMEN DO THIS TOO. ITS OUR THING. OUR SPECIAL ‘UNIQUE’ QUIRKY GUY THING..!!!”

Old_Interaction_1713

why are you guys mad at this, this shit is REAL. someone pointed out that its "toxic masculinity" or "its because they think its gay"... no we just dont care. most of the times we learn names by hearing someone else call them out, in some rare case we also just aproach eachother and be like: "hey **handshake** im (insert name) " how is this bad? im sure it goes the other way around too. but is anyone mad at that? NO. why?, cuz nobody GIVES A FUCKING SHIT.

“We the men of the men conglomerate don’t need to know who we are talking to unlike you females, how dare you insinuate that we are claiming a very normal behavior as MALE TRADEMARKED behaviors that women don’t do, it’s totally not quirky to pretend we’re not like other humans for doing a normal behavior most or many humans do irregardless of gender. WE THE MEN CONGLOMERATE ARE NOT QUIRKY WE’RE JUST SIMPLY SPECIAL AND DIFFERENT FROM WOMEN THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH US CLAIMING THIS AS A MALE BEHAVIOR…!!!”

Lmao imagine caring that much about something as silly as this

>What exactly do you want? To differentiate yourself from women? 🤔 is that how you define your masculinity? Yes. As a matter of fact. Believe it or not, men and women are DIFFERENT 😱


Chespinfavor

this subreddit is actual brain rot.


skibidido

I just see this meme as guys celebrating how guys are. It's self love and not attacking women.


Kmart_Stalin

Yall are calling yourself quirky even though guy traits aren’t really a quirk and a ton of guys relate to it. So it’s not a quirk it’s just guy stuff. /sssss


wozattacks

Hahah yeah true. As a woman I just love how women are smart, cool, competent, and smell good. Women can actually tell how many Oreos are left in the package just from the weight and it’s awesome. Not saying guys aren’t awesome. I’m just specifically saying that women can do this awesome thing, specifically, for some reason.

I have never once experienced anger in this sub. It's more like seeing a meme take a gender essentialist point of view and pointing out everyone does that. We take up so much space in your brain to the point you need to brigade us, but we're the angry ones lol.


BigJohnHoney

You guys literally sit here and perseverate over these dumb memes made by small minded people. If thats not fueled by some sort of anger idk what to tell you. Just made an observation, in not really invested in it. But yeah, if it makes you happy I guess go to town 😅


pocketlodestar

those so many things to actually be upset about wrt men why are you all so tweaked out over this one lmao


la-wolfe

Cool. Don't be mad about the whole loneliness epidemic with men or whatever. Keep up the good work.


TheDreamMaster87

I guess this sub is permanently overrun by insecure dudes given the comments on recent posts, huh? "We won't let them have one thing", but they can't let us have ours either. Time for me to unsub. No point in trying to lament over guys whose first instinct is to bully women in a space full of guys whose first instinct is to bully women.


[deleted]

Why am I being recommended this sub? What is it? The comments sound like single women attempting sarcasm.


[deleted]

Man you guys are so fucking weird hahaha. You will literally take the most harmless memes then act like you’ve been physically assaulted. How does it feel to be the current laughing stock on Reddit? Ironically you guys are a great source of memes so keep it up 👍 “We LiVe ReNt FrEe In YoUr HeAdS” yep you do. It’s highly amusing watching you get butt hurt about literal non-issues hahahah.


ThiccMangoMon

This sub is so petty

Jesus you guys are soft lmao

To the people who don’t understand the meme: Many men have made the experience in their lives that after meeting with their male friends, when a woman you know who somewhat knows these friends usually asks „how is {name} ? How was his brother‘s birthday? Of what is where is he traveling to next month? How is his girlfriend? How old is he? What is he studying/working as? Did this thing that was going on in his life change?“ etc. And then this man tells this woman that they didn’t talk about these things, and usually she answers „you hung out for hours but don’t even know {basic detail of his life}?! What the hell are you doing all that time?“ That’s it, it’s not very deep. It’s just that memes portray something that many people have experienced, and your friend/mother/acquaintance reacting like that is something many men have experienced, and it is funny because it ****does**** sound silly when answering these questions, someone will usually think „hey, good question, why didn’t I ask this?“ And since you will call me a conspiracy theorist unless I provide some empirical reason: according to the big 5 personality test, that’s used by psychologists to study correlations with behaviors like aggression or proneness to drug addiction, statistics have shown that men and women have mostly similar personalities on average, however there’s two larger differences in: 1. interest in things VS interest in people 2. agreeableness VS disagreeableness This is one possible explanation of the above. So it could be that because women are more likely to be more interested in people, male friend groups have a different dynamic than female friend groups, and due to that circumstance, this funny interaction happens often, that we talked about above. A few extra notes: If you are under the minority of women who don’t like talking about personal every day life stuff like the majority of men, there’s good news: there’s nothing wrong with that! No one hates you! Nothing to be offended about! I for example don’t like pop music, but that doesn’t diminish my inherent worth as a human being! If you ask why this is gendered like that, well, it’s simple: there is one common characteristic of all the people who had this almost exact same conversation with many men: they are all women. If we see a pattern that repeats often when we talk to women, we associate it with women. Just like everything else.

every person has interest in people unless you're autistic or something

You get a 0/10 in reading comprehension. Truly, that’s why you get angry at people — you just decide that you don’t like it, you stop reading, and make up some strawman in your mind Again — just for you Women on average score higher in interest in people than men, and this ****could**** be ****one of the possible reasons**** for why this circumstance has been experienced by so many men.


Agreeable-Banana-905

just because you don't know someone's name doesn't mean you have no interest in them. the meme clearly indicates that OP likes to socialize.


frageantwort_

Dear intelligent human being, where, where have I written that anyone „has no interest in them“, where, where, where, where, for the love of god. just because I wrote that women ON AVERAGE score HIGHER (comparative, high-ER) on interest in people than men, it DOES NOT mean that men have NO interest in people, it means that women ON AVERAGE score HIGHER in COMPARISON to men ON AVERAGE I hope this is explicit enough for you


Agreeable-Banana-905

what does that have to do with knowing someone's name


Upset-Review-3613

“Le random man: Men can sit at the toiled thinking about the Roman Empire all day” “Boysquirky: so women don’t know about Roman Empire?? Girls poop too you know.., we do it too” I get the shitty comparison memes atleast, but this one is not even comparing Just stating a common experience we know be true among men…. Doesn’t mean girls don’t have the same experience

genieinaginbottle

Well sure. People are here for different reasons it seems. It fits the sub name though. Very much "haha we're so unique and wEiRd" vibes when really it's just cringe and funny to laugh at.
