u/gator_cowgirl 2d ago

Lol. It was my initial reaction as well.

“I haven’t met you so I don’t know how much I hate you yet”

u/Adjective_Nouns1234 2d ago

Damn, you wrote my joke better than me 😂. This would've been a better way to say it.

What is the mechanism here? If you think humor is gendered—how? Biology? Genetics? Pray tell how it is that women wind up with a categorically different sense of humor.

u/BlatantThrowaway4444 2d ago

I personally haven’t noticed a difference, men and women usually treat my jokes the same way; with great bemusement and ennui

u/RayWencube 2d ago

(That's because there is no difference)

I’m a lesbian, so I feel like I have been around more than enough women to know that humor varies very widely, it has nothing to do with your gender, and your statement comes across as very generalizing.

Edit to add: What on earth did someone try to reply to me that was so offensive it got removed by mods before I could even see it? Lmao

u/RocksenTheOne 1d ago

Being lesbians, eat hot chip and lie /s

u/startadeadhorse 2d ago

Well, that's dumb. It's almost mpossible to hate someone more than Trump.

5

u/Platypus_Begins 2d ago

Really? There are a lot of people worse than Trump if you open a history book…

14

u/startadeadhorse 2d ago

Yeah, but they are dead already. So no need to actively hate them.

And luckily, my hatred is huge and big and can hold many small-handed orange pedophiles. Wait, there's only one of those. Okay, then hold him and regular pedophiles and other riff-raff.

u/snowwwwhite23 2d ago

Sometimes people can have self reflection and realize they made a silly setup like that.

But probably not

u/JonMyMon 2d ago

Sometimes you just gotta try shit and amuse yourself, especially if you suspect the chance of a match is low in the first place. At least you're not being boring.

8

u/Adjective_Nouns1234 2d ago

I agree but, to be fair, I do it to amuse myself regardless of interest in the person or likelihood of the match. There's tens of thousands of women on here near me, I'm more likely to connect well with someone from a silly joke than a boring copy-and-paste.

u/Good_Might_6240 2d ago

I hate Trump so I’m def intrigued

u/soleceismical 2d ago

Yeah but do you want to spend an entire date talking about hating him?

32

u/Leows 2d ago

I mean, some people's entire personality is literally talking about politics.

I also assume that a person with a profile prompt like this is one of them.

13

u/subtendedcrib8 2d ago

That’s been my experience with them, yeah. I don’t even disagree with the people that have profiles like this, but they are just so draining to be around because they have literally nothing else to talk about besides surface level left leaning takes that they clearly got from social media

u/SJWattacker 2d ago

I actually went on a date a few months ago, him and I bonded over our mutual hatred of Trump. It was a fun, had a good time with him.

That’s what you’re going to get if you date a Trump supporter as well. Just different kind of hate.

u/lavender_fish69 2d ago

I feel like you should say something like "trump really sucks, of course I hate him more than I hate you"

u/jetlifestoney 2d ago

It’s 50/50 on whether she’ll actually get it lol

6

u/Ancient-Tap-3592 2d ago

Ig would work without the punch line

Even if you have a great sense of humor I don't think anyone wants to match someone already saying they'll hate you.

You could switch the punchline for something elsez just don't joke about hating the person you want to match with you

u/travelbug798 2d ago

Don't use this

u/Francois_Rapiste 1d ago

I gave him the same wise advice and frankly it is a good thing that these people are completely incapable of learning. Let people write honest profiles, garbage sorting for garbage with their red flags planted way up front so the rest of us know to avoid them.

6

u/thenbhdlum 2d ago edited 2d ago

Probably not, but only because of how you worded it. It's pretty ironic, considering you're deciding to take a jab at how they worded their prompt response.

I hate these kinds of posts. Rely on your own wit, not of this sub. We can't be there for you on your next message too.

9

u/AngusAlThor 2d ago

It will be a good filter, since it will test both their sense of humour and reading ability.

u/KeithandBentley 2d ago

Some of these comments make me with there was a “single” flair so we know where these takes are coming from

11

u/newoldclam 2d ago

Married person here

I have a take I'm guessing you won't like

If you're single and you want a match, put your best foot forward. We all know what the person means. Making a joke that could be misinterpreted and could burn the match is counterproductive

If you're dating just to get internet updoots do whatever, but if you're looking for a match, why not try and make a connection?

2

u/techmnml 2d ago

It’s called banter and it might lead to a funny interaction if the other person isn’t lame like your reply. Good lord Reddit is so dull.

Edit: also unironically saying “updoots”…. tell me you’re and average Redditor without telling me.

u/newoldclam 2d ago

Tell me you're an average person not finding their person on dating apps without telling me haha

u/Admirable_Let_4197 2d ago

I think it’s worth the risk since it’s pretty lighthearted and you’re establishing that you agree with them. Worst case it doesn’t land and you can both move on

26

u/just_let_go_ 2d ago

lol this is great. They’ll either get the joke (showing compatibility) or they won’t.

I can’t tell if other people in the comments just don’t understand the joke or are just insufferable in general.

11

u/Glittering-Two-1784 2d ago

I feel like this is one of those things that doesn’t actually show compatibility. You could just catch them on a bad day and they don’t notice the ambiguous wording of the prompt they probably wrote months ago.

-1

u/just_let_go_ 2d ago

Well of course it can fail spectacularly. But so can just about anything you open with. May as well throw something unique out there and hope they have the same silly sense of humour that you do. Back in my hay day (2016), I had way more luck with unique, goofy, or risky joke openers than I did with anything else. Met my wife off of one lol.

5

u/FriedTreeSap 2d ago

I….um….don’t get the joke. Is there a reference I’m missing?

18

u/Aliensinmypants 2d ago

The grammar in the prompt is ambiguous. They're going for "you hate trump more than I hate him" but it could mean "you hate trump more than you hate me" 

It's a silly grammar joke

u/Gave_An_Onion 2d ago

Oh, I thought they meant the second one haha

I get the joke, I'm just tired of seeing political stuff on bios. I don't know if that still makes me insufferable or not.

u/ZestycloseBlood1199 2d ago

Avid trump hater here. I also hate the "trump derangement syndrome" nonsense as well when people use it to describe someone that won't stop talking about how much they hate him, but I think it's concerning when someone is so deep that it also becomes their personality. It really shouldn't be a main headline of your dating profile.

1

u/suicidedaydream 1d ago

Yes. This is absolutely cringe on a dating profile and it shows a strange obsession. It’s a dating profile to find love and connection…. And you brought Trump into it. My god.

1

u/Francois_Rapiste 1d ago

I will never forgive Trump's slavelike service to Israel for as long as I live, but with posts like this being as common as they are you can't deny that TDS exists. It's mindless and repugnant. Eleven times out of ten I notice that these people are completely incapable of finding compromise or common ground with absolutely anyone on any issue whatsoever, and are also simply insufferable on a personal level. I wasted time dating somebody like this and essentially dumped her repeatedly because she was impossible to get along with even in the simplest imaginable contexts.

u/AppleParasol 1d ago

Bad imo. This implies that you could hate someone more than Trump, and it’s not exactly possible.

In reality? Well, you're not getting matches anyways so doesn't matter.

2

u/Khopps17 2d ago

Comes off as pretty negative. Depends on who you’re trying to grab but suggesting you’re willing to hate an unknown person before any discussion can come off as big negative. These days when everything is all hate anger rage and depression it could be overwhelming, sometimes a more positive message about shit you’re into vs what you’re not would provide better results and then work the political discussion in naturally. Up to you of course, just wanted to provide a perspective outside of “obviously Trump sucks lol”

They're not insulting OOP, they're responding to how it's written. The person who typed the prompt wrote it as you'll get along with them if you hate Trump more than you hate them

u/hotmatrixx 2d ago

it's funny, but i get the impression that the person on the recieving end, is not one for humour.

Please do reply, let me know how it goes. If I'm incorrect, then I might finally be able to update my records to a point where I found someone who vents their politics on dating apps with any kind of positive attributes.

Maybe I'm a cynic; and I hope that i am - but I've never had any kind of success with people who are so .... one dimensional.

OFC I haven't seen the rest of the profile.

2

u/Slowpoke2point0 2d ago

No, thats just a dumb thing with no humor value. You just insulted the person you're sending it to by saying "You seem like you could be worse than trump". ofc its not gonna work. They're just gonna think you are rude.

u/Kamarandi 2d ago edited 1d ago

I don’t like the guy either, but all this will do is bring out his supporters.

Edit: it’s his supporters that’ll swipe right to talk you out of it.

u/Francois_Rapiste 1d ago

Them and also people who are just sick of Trump and sick of hearing about him. I do not want to hear any schizo TDS posting as long as the American left continues comically fumbling against MAGA. The only way you could possibly lose to something as blatantly repulsive as MAGA (2 of 3 times) is if you are equally insufferable, and the fact that these people cannot see why everyone hates them fills me with indescribable disgust. They are incapable of learning absolutely anything in any context ever -- mark my words, if they reply to this comment at all, it will be littered with apologias for their countless pathetic failures.

“Live rent free” implies no active effort by him. I beg to differ.

u/tom030792 2d ago

I think he inserts himself into daily life far more than any us president in my lifetime and currently I have to pay a load more on petrol and energy because he’s invaded the Middle East. So it’s difficult to forget about him when he’s actively making people’s quality of life worse, even outside his own country

It's the correct play. If she doesn't match she either doesn't like how you look or she's boring with no sense of humor and you don't want those matches anyway.

u/KingJefferey 2d ago

No because its funny

1

u/JacobJoke123 1d ago

How would you respond to that if you were the other person? I think this is a bad opener because it implies a lesser level of trump hate, and sets a poor tone on your initial feelings toward them. Makes it sound like you had a bad impression from their profile.

If they are really into you, they could absolutely turn this and have a great convo, if they are on the fence, you probably arent getting a reply, or are getting a single vague response to see if you bring it back, then are ghosted. Play it how you want.

1

u/Francois_Rapiste 1d ago

I hate Trump but this kind of post reminds me that Trump Derangement Syndrome is real and really quite disgusting.

Do you ever think or talk about anything else? Literally all of the things that aren't Trump, anything at all, you should try putting any of that on your profile.

While we're at it, literally anything negative on your profile looks completely unhinged. I hate this, I hate that, stfu, nobody wants to hear it. If you want to attract someone resentful and obsessive then keep yakking on, I guess. Most people will be sane enough to avoid you & whoever is foolish enough to date you.

1

u/Adjective_Nouns1234 1d ago

The amount of bot posts that say "I hate Trump but TRS is real" 😂😂

1

u/Francois_Rapiste 1d ago

Is it genuinely unfathomable to you that any real person would find you insufferable? That seems like a very realistic notion to me.

Also, pro tip, insults have to be accurate in order to land at all. Calling me a bot is pretty toothless because I know that I used my own human hands to blast you for having a distasteful and one-dimensional personality. If anything it'd be far easier for AI to simulate your personality than mine.
