As a woman, yeah i totally accidentally told my bros I got married a few years after the fact. In my defense we eloped and my friends and I sometimes go a few years without talking much
When offer to go to lunch with someone you haven’t seen in 15 years and they respond with as long as its not within 100ft of a school
SNL did it
Keep in mind they call each other bro because in 45 years they don’t even know each others names since they met.
Would die for each other tho.
I learned someone’s name at work yesterday. We’ve been at the same location for like 8 months… and we have nametags…
I have friends that i know for 10+ years and i don’t know their real names
I enjoyed the stereotype to laugh it but I feel obligated to state one thing. Relationships require maintenance, that’s it regardless of boy or girl. Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn’t mean they’re a friend.
Idunno I have quite a few friends where we only interact like every 4-8 months ish. But when we do we talk everyday for a month or two, then go separate ways again. Lifes busy we all know that. Not being in contact does no mean losing a friend.
True, but I also don’t want to be friends with you if you get upset because I’m not constantly sharing my whole life story with you at all times.
I’ve had my share of high maintenance friends, and I burn out so quick.
But if you’re an incel and a Chad says “hi” back then yeah, it’s a big deal for those weirdos
When people watermark memes. SMH
Weird incel memes at that
I’m genuinely curious here: what makes this an incel meme?
The high maintenance example is women, while the low maintenance example is men, but that does seem to be a bit of a leap.
It’s stereotypical humor and not meant to be taken literally or held against women
Girl boring guy quirky.
And it’s ultimately insulting to men too, like the idea of being excited to share personal news is somehow anathema to the male experience.
I don’t know how serious one has to take themselves to find this “ultimately insulting”. It’s a silly meme and it’s funny because most men can relate to it.
Lmao you could have just written “it’s not that serious bro” like the worthless bottom of the barrel dumbfuck you are. Now tell your moral and intellectual superior how serious an idiot has to take itself to respond like you did.
I’m not even that other person, just letting you know you’re an asshole.
It’s not my problem that you deserve worse than prison.
Low maintenance friendships are the best ships 🛳️
I’m no psychoanalyst but it sounds like someone is insecure in their ability to love and be loved and would prefer to guarantee a balanced reciprocity of low effort on both sides.
Isn’t it just boy and girl different?
Yes. Men and women are different.
“But I am gay.”
Plot twist!
Stealing this bc true
“I barely talk to my friends lol.”
“There’s a male loneliness epidemic.”
Maybe we should think about these memes less as complex thought-out statements, and more as reflections of the times they are created in, just like all art.
And this one even has a little homophobia sprinkled in.
Bonus panel:
Even chadder face: “I married my husband”
I get what you mean but that’s not homophobic. I mean, it’s true in my case. Lol
I think homosexuality has reached a level of societal acceptance(at least in the west), that it is ok to be ironically homophobic again.
Then again, some might argue that being against nazis was a societal norm, so being ironically nazi was fine too. Yet here we are now, where being unironically nazi is somewhat acceptable by a large part of the society.
it is ok to be ironically homophobic again.
Us gays are savagely homophobic for comedic effect, so yeah. 😅
And being homophobic is even more acceptable by a large part of the society.
It does appear this post is ultra based. /s
where did you get that from, along with 30 people who upvoted this
Woman bad
Thanks, I am validated now
Tagged as “insane misandrist”, it sure checks out.
I’ve now tagged you as “insane misogynist” for the sake of balance.
Your profile got tags?
I wouldn’t say this is an insane take from that person, or misandrist really. I have no other meanings in regards to what that person says, but in this case this is a sensible take.
The whole meme is about how women are “hysterical” and overly emotional. While men are calm and chill creatures.
It caters to stereotypes that view women in a negative light. I know exactly zero women who act like this. Most women are calm and chill people as well. Unless you of course call them hysterical or overly emotional, then they can rightfully get a bit mad. You would probably react that way also. It kinda infantalizes you.
I would as a man, expect my best friend to tell me if he’s moving, expecting a child, or is getting married, within a reasonable timeframe. That is within a couple of months.
???
Stereotypes, get your stereotypes, fresh gender stereotypes right here.
Men who don’t marry are gay and woman are always mad at each other over nothing.
Also it’s not manly to share your life with a friend apparently.
I’m 40+ and a couple of months ago started therapy. I didn’t even knew I needed therapy, went with my wife for couple therapy and it quickly turned into personal therapy.
What I learned after some tests is that I fall into the top 4% of men who are emotional closed off. This is pretty extreme, but maybe the worst part is, I never even knew. This is the stereotype we teach boys, men don’t have emotions, they don’t talk about emotions, etc.
Good for you!
Don’t you cry or I’ll give you something to cry about.
The guy didn’t explicitly say he married a woman, might still be gay.
Real
My first thought ^^
And we wonder why there’s a male loneliness epidemic
It’s because of women hating all men of course.
Something something space lasers!

I had a friend who excitedly told me about their new car but neglected to mention their 6 month old son.
He is gay, married another bro.
That’s the least possible gay thing he could do.
How about transitioning to a woman, then marrying their female best friend? I feel like that would at least be slightly less gay
It is a little weird when you meet an old friend and they are now trans
I respect but it was a culture shock
Damn, really easy to spot the Americans in the comments
We’re all Americans here right? That’s why it’s called lemmy.usa, duh.
gay people cant get married?
Once again, Estonia is the best of the Baltics.
Estonia being called baltic and not nordic:
Why not both?
Soon maybe not anymore
Depends on where you are sadly.
He was starting to think it, and now he knows.
Shit, that reminds me I should text my best friend, he might be a father by now.
When was the last time you texted him?
Uh just the standard interval, 10 years ago
