How does the math work that they did it 10x with 85% working?
Also wtf gaslighting. This is a whole new level of negging
That’s not gaslighting. It’s catfishing. Gaslighting is when you try to trick someone into thinking they’re crazy or that their memory is unreliable by lying to them about events you both experienced or knew about.
It’s not even cat fishing cuz he’s not pretending to be the matched person
Catfishing is defined by wikipedia as
a deceptive activity in which a person creates a fictional persona or fake identity on a social networking service, usually targeting a specific victim. The practice may be used for financial gain, to compromise a victim in some way, as a way to intentionally upset a victim, or for wish fulfillment.
OP made an account on Tinder and pretended to be a hot guy by utilizing the image of a totally different, super attractive man, for the purpose of exploiting women and manipulating them into being at a particular place at a particular time so he could make it seem like the person they matched with stood them up, only to show up as a less enticing backup option to someone who was emotionally compromised. I mean, he obviously didn’t because none of this is real, but if he had, it would still be catfishing.
people love to use new words they’ve learnt even when they’ve misunderstood what they actually mean. Funnily enough, that comment has been upvoted 83 times, showing that the majority of people are either fine in using terms in wrong context or are also not aware of the correct term.
You can’t really deduce what the majority of people think without knowing the raw numbers of how many people saw it.
I suspect the majority probably didn’t vote it at all
Interesting. Counterpoint, anon’s a dick for manipulating people like that.
Shh don’t question the status quo bro. You don’t wanna do that bro.
Definitely don’t bring up how men doing this is traditionally seen as manipulative immediately but when anyone other than cis males do it, it’s just a silly little play ha ha he he ho ho
I wouldn’t call them “a dick” but women flocking to the most ridiculously attractive men and only to those men is kind of fucked up.
Red pill anon.
I’d rather die than be this desperate and immoral.
Perfect green text!
Why do I feel promiscuity is disgusting? I have no connection to a stupid religion, neither do I care about social standards in that regard. Am I old fashioned or uptight? But since I was a teenager I despise it to the point I had the opportunity and said no, several times (when I was younger, I’m around 40 now) My buddies always said i’m stupid asf, I don’t know. Am I? Got 2 girlfriends in my life, the last one now for 20 years (still going), all my experience you can count on one hand, I don’t feel inhibited in my “skills”, at least what the feedback tells me, but on the other hand there’s clearly a bias, idk.
Humans are animals, they have sex. There should be no stigma on it, like you’re having. Do you see monkeys shame each other for fucking right in front of each other? If people want to have sex, they will have sex, and if you don’t want that, fine. But don’t ever judge anyone for their choice.
Probably because most promiscuous people use people like objects, like Anon.
I wonder if it’s because you associate the concept of promiscuity with the behaviours and attitudes of people who treat sex as a trophy and a bragging right.
There’s a big difference between someone who likes what they like and does it when they can in their own bedroom, and someone who uses manipulative tactics to have as much sex as they can and brag about it as though that makes them a winner at something, acting superior.
Growing up in a society that reinforces that behaviour (specifically, in men) has probably meant that the two concepts are linked, and your feelings towards one are the same as the other.
I’m a certified slut and that type of “sex as a conquest” behaviour feels gross to me too, and if that was the only way to have casual sex, I’d never have casual sex ever again, even though I like sex.
I think because I’m not a man, it was easier for me to separate the two concepts. If anything, I was shamed for promiscuity, so it helped me to explore what’s right for me with an attitude of “who cares what society thinks about my sex life”.
Basically, if OP has sex and doesn’t brag about it, did he still enjoy it? Because sometimes I think guys like this don’t enjoy the sex for the sex, they want it for the status. And that’s whack.
I am with you on this point. I never believed in sex just for the sake of sex, without any deeper connection. Although lately I have been having doubts about being so un-promiscuous. Oh well, some things you will never know. At least I’m glad I’m not the only “fool” out there
Whether you are more or less sociosexual (the scientific term) is partly genetic and partly environmental (and by that I mean more how your parents behave than whether or not you belong to a religion). It is completely normal to be turned off by promiscuity because you value a deeper connection.
There are different types of sexuality. I can’t remember the term, but there are many people who prefer to have connection first before having sex (you know, the type of sexuality and romance usually depicted in movies). Others are promiscuous and don’t mind casual sex.
People are just different. Some are promiscuous, others aren’t. So long as both parties communicate what they are trying to achieve and have mutual consent, it’s not really an issue.
I think the problem is that most of people don’t realise there are different types of attraction/sexuality. We either assume one is promiscuous looking for body count, or looking for long lasting relationship. I didn’t even know that there is a term for the type of sexuality/attraction I mentioned on the first paragraph. I always refer to it as “normal” because that’s how I am expected to view dating and relationship growing up.
