Would this attract someone just like the anime stickers?
You need to wear the Fedora, not run it.
quite likely, but it’s not as effective as arch
Eww, no, it’s not Arch
I’ve never had such an easy time talking to girls as I did in college. That’s with me being short AF, quiet, and not particularly good looking. Either something has changed since then or OP has bad vibes.
Something has. I haven’t seen a student speak to another student in a classroom for a long time now.
Now this whole zoomers are having less sex than previous generations is starting to make sense.
Did you go to college before or after covid & social media.
the “anon” sounded like a creep that just goes around public places where they are not supposed to be. like a office party, COLLEGE class, library. especially while class is in session and your trying to flirt with someone trying to pay attention tot he teacher. probably got sussed out immediately. this goes the same for college libraries, if arnt in the class and dont know the person or studied together, or met in the same classes.
Anon does online degree is more accurate 🤷♂️
students arnt trying to date while they are class, and the guy is a college creep, hes essentially like brian from family guy that went to college to pickup girls, eventhough he doesnt go there., i had unforunate event of having to listening to one of these pickup artists(my bro was watching) and the creep went to a college library to pickup some chicks, but he was also condescending," oh because she is taking a low level math, i passed in mS in college MEANS THE girl isnt bright at all" , and he was indicating the girl is stupid so it should be easy.
Seems like an appropriate response to a man who takes a womens studies course to try and pick up women
Especially if he doesn’t bathe
Why do you assume is a women studies course?
class is 70% women
so anything bio
The makeup of universities these days isn’t that far off from that in general.
Yeah, I didn’t think anything of that because there are more women than men in college today.
Because the post was written by someone who clearly feels that these women owe him their attention.
I assumed it’s a women’s studies class because the kind of male who feels entitled to attention like this would typically think something along the lines of “women’s studies would have the highest ratio of women to men of any other class” and so join said class assuming it would be a good place to get a date.
The tone of the post implies that he is upset after realizing the course would not double as his own personal harem of desperate women fighting each other for his affection.
The reactions of the women he mentioned is why I assumed he probably doesn’t bathe. I’m guessing he showed up in stained sweatpants or something similar as well.
Any other questions?
Yes: How often do you smugly talk out your ass like this and how has it effected your ability to get a date?
Mostly in this community, because the whole reason it exists is to laugh at shitty greentexts from 4chan. It has not affected my dating life in the slightest, as I don’t talk about this place when I’m not here.
You seem like you must be a real “life of the party” kind of person
At least I get invited to parties.

4chan posting
Because there’s a trend progressing in radfem groups where misandry is being normalized because it lets them hate men while remaining the victums in every situation instead of going to therapy.
Misandry is not a real concept. It’s a term used by reactionary worthless dumbfucks who cannot handle the necessity of feminism. People who use the term misandry unironically should be strapped into a rocket and launched into the sun.
So is ‘misanthropy’ also not a real concept, since anyone who is a misanthropist is by definition not hating on an oppressed minority?
If you believe those things are the same, I don’t know how to help you.
What? How could they be the same? They’re different things.
As a supposed institutional or structural bias, I agree. Misandry is nonsense. But saying its meaningless as a concept is just asinine.
It’s completely meaningless and anyone who attempts to argue otherwise belongs in prison.
Bait used to be believable.
Thanks for being the example
Whenever there is a worthless dumbfuck pretending that misandry is real, I will always be the example of a rational person pushing back on it.
Yes, your actions in this thread scream “highly rational” and not hateful in any way.
He’s on 4chan?
So much prejudice
I, for one, feel some (shallow) sympathy for the protagonist of this plausibly fake story on the internet. I’m sure he showered and put on roll-on deodorant like a decent citizen, only to be crushed by the reality where social capital has been dwindling for decades, as presented by Robert D. Putnam. In my essay
edit: don’t downvote me I’m serious

Helps if you don’t start the conversation with " Hello m’lady."
what is THY interest m’lady.
jaw drops to floor, eyes pop out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, awooga awooga sound effect, pulls chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out, slams fists on table, rattling any plates, bowls or silverware, whistles loudly, fireworks shoot from top of head, pants loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipes comically large bead of sweat from forehead, clears throat, straightens tie, combs hair Ahem, you look very lovely.

Anon is ugly, stinks, or has a terrible personality; or a mix/combination of those.
He’s obnoxious enough to try to pick up women in class. That’s enough, really.
He had one dread, and fungus. Worked on people’s toilets with plungers.
I’ve seen a weird amount of Del references on Lemmy and I’m here for it.
it’s important to practice good hygiene
Idk, I had a similar experience in my college classes. Male and female students - people were pretty cliquish and didn’t seem interested in meeting anyone. I was rarely able to establish even light relationships via my classes, and these never progressed to deeper relationships.
And this doesn’t seem like an “oh, that’s just you” problem, since I had no problem meeting people at school events, in clubs, randomly on the quad, in the bars near campus, etc. Classes just, in general, seemed to put people in an asocial mood. Which honestly makes sense to me - if you spend an hour concentrating on a lecture and then have somewhere to be afterwards, you aren’t very primed for the openmindedness and creativity necessary to interact with a stranger.
I had the same thought reading this. If Anon wants to socialize he should go to social events.
I smiled at a girl in college once. A day later she infodumped everything she knew about Capgras syndrome on me out of the blue. 11/10 would recommend.

How did you know? 🤣
Wow, college has turned rough, to many anxieties, I had fun in college, met new ppl, met my college gf of 3 years no fraternity needed not even socialmedia…and I’m just 44, already someone is calling anon a creep without any prior knowledge of the person or any context, it’s that easy now to to judge people and call anyone a creep …and they are wondering why are ppl lonely, single and anxious
A boomer told me that he observes younger generations as being stand off-ish. I don’t disagree. I suppose having grown up with “stranger danger” message being drilled into us made us that way. I don’t want to start a generation fight and blame boomers, but who are the parents of millenials who taught us the message that made us hypervigilant? The stranger danger message has merit, but if older generations are complaining why we behave that way, you reap what you sow as the saying goes.
Another consideration is that if Anon is Gen Z, it is very likely that his peers grew up with constant attention to online and digital presence, which makes them socially awkward. It didn’t help either that much of Gen Z spent two years cooped up in their own homes during the pandemic. It does not take a genius to figure out what those two phenomena does to an entire generation.

There’s a lot to blame - dual income households, suburbanization, religion declining in popularity (religious communities are communities)
Decline in local communities sounds like a natural result of mass communication and globalization, imo
Eh there are a lot of factors, including how your city is designed. Car centric cities usually have less sense of community than cities with good transit or walkability. This is because nobody chats with the person next to them in traffic but some people will chat on the street or on the train. But on the flip side, car centric small towns can have a lot of community, mostly because the place is so small everyone kinda knows everyone and most people rely on the same businesses.
Well, posting green-texts is a fair indicator IMO (I mean it’s fake but let’s pretend).
Bruh it could’ve been me honestly, so sorry I tend to think when strangers speak to me I’m about to get scammed into something 😭

Also, when people say meet others at college they don’t mean in the classes, especially not in the lecture halls lol. They mean in the social events…
I was pretty shy when I started college and have always disliked social events. I skipped a few years in highschool so I was young when I started. Combined with working 30+ hours a week to pay for college and my social life was pretty dead.
My junior/senior year I decided to sit next to the most beautiful woman in class on day one. I would then smile, say hello, and leave them alone. Then smile, say goodbye at the end of class and leave.
A few weeks of this and most of them started talking to me a bit before or after class. By mid-terms I was friendly with a few beautiful women and had a couple dates. The last quarter of my senior year, I sat down next to my now wife.
I did get called out by my wife on knowing so many beautiful women when we were dating. She was a bit annoyed but I did sit down next to her after all.
Wholesome ending.
Though, I am a bit confused by
I skipped a few years in highschool
Did your high school have more than 4 years? When I think of “a few,” I think “at least 3,” but skipping 3 out of 4 years doesn’t sound right.
2.5 years. So is it a couple or a few? I started college when I turned 16.
I ended up being a burned out after my 2nd year in college and I turned 18. I had also amassed some savings by working so much. So I bought a ticket to Europe and bummed around for a couple years. When I started back up I was the same age as everyone else.
My friend group was always on the nerdier side in high school. One thing I’m really glad we did come senior year was we’d play poker, and the loser, if single, would be have to go and ask a random gal out on a date (with the rest of the group trying-yet-failing to act casual hanging out nearby to make sure it happened lol)
It’s liberating to know that, as long as you’re not being a creep, you can just talk to someone you think is cute and ask them out. It was especially nice to know back in the high school days lol.
Don’t they? The culture might be different in different schools or different generations, but I’ve made quite a few friends just by chatting with people in the lecture halls before class.
Generally, yes, but if you’re a pleasant person to be around you can easily get things going from lectures as well. You just need to strike up a conversation like a normal person and be friendly. The problem most of these people have is they treat women like something to be won, when instead they’re just people.
Agreed, I made lifelong friends in my college anime club.
I met the love of my life at a literal exam.
I think the trick to it is that you shouldn’t force any situations like this to have any sort of outcome, just keep yourself open to new people. Like set up situations where you can meet new people, and have your attitude be “I’d like to get to know you, so we can either be friends, more than friends or never meet again if that’s how it shakes out”, and just keeping it low stakes. And then just try to get into those situations as much as you can.
Live in the dorms and go to parties. The first week before classes start is magical for making friends.
Ah yes, shroom week.
Whatever passes for teena… sorry, young adults these days are nothing but braindead NPCs that live online and think chapgpt is their friend. Every generation is worse that the previous one. Look to Japan to see how the west will be in 10 years.
that would require actually building housing
Interesting, thanks.
Every generation is worse that the previous one.
Literally every generation ever
But it does seem every new generation is now more anti-social. Just look how popular Tate is with Gen Z
