    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.

          I’m not even that other person, just letting you know you’re an asshole.

          Do we have an IAmVerySmart community on Lemmy? Because you would fit right in over there. Over here everybody just thinks you’re a smug asshole.

          Just so you know, this isn’t Reddit. You’ve just been blocked by everyone reading along here.

          If you start to feel like no one replies here, it’s actually you, in this case. It could help to try again with a new account.

      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.
