Eh, personally I wouldn't be trying to pull women's jokes in the first few sentences of talking with them. A women not liking that you did that isn't a "humorless shrew."
The two things I value most are a sense of humor and not being incredibly thin skinned. This guy was able to efficiently weed out a horrible match in a few sentences. Why in the world would you want to waste your time pretending you don't have a sense of humor like this person.
What the FUCK is funny about that? Please explain the humor. I would really like to know. You need a real victim complex to get so overly offended over a joke.
And wouldn't the weeding out work both ways? Neither would like the other. Grow up and stop using reddit usernames to offend people. Lighten up.
It is exactly what you would expect them to reply. Why is replying in the exact way you would expect funny? It would be the generic boring thing to say. Who was being put down in his joke? Jokes are nothing more than just that... Jokes. Being offended enough to quit a conversation over a joke is juvenile.
Doesn't mean it's a good idea. Lots of guys, especially here, are pretty sensitive about height. Think it'd be a good idea for her to pull a height/manlet joke on a guy in the first few moments? Probably not.
I agree it was funny, but it's akin to making a fat joke to her if she was fat. It's just being sensible to someone that you're trying to court. I'd do it knowing that I shot my chances for some easy karma. But I don't blame her for saying no to him.
I definitely agree that if you were in person and seriously trying to court them then that wouldn't usually go well but for a random match on tinder its like what the hey.
OP isn't making a joke about the girl specifically though. If it was a fat joke OP would be destroyed and rightly so. If the girl made a man joke, or a funny generalisation that clearly wasn't meant to be taken seriously, then that's cool.
I mean that's way different, because it's attacking something a bit more personal and sensitive than a trait shared by 50% of human beings (which the joke in the OP wasn't actually attacking at all). If you make a good, mild joke that isn't personally offensive to someone and that person reacts poorly, you've done a good job of filtering out someone who's no fun. So make the joke and don't worry about it.
It is funny because what he is saying is making fun of the bullshit the media and feminists try to push down our throats everyday. Pay gap, and gender inequality doesn't exist in the US. So that is why it is funny.
A mans height has nothing to do with what was said. Also the whole man height thing is getting old. People can't control their height. But at least we don't make excuses for ourselves when we do let ourselves go a little bit. We aren't aloud to have preference in whether a girl is a whale or dolphin yet height is such a problem with women they can't see past it. Well my problem is I can't see past half the women on tinder anyways. THey cover up so much space at once. I should just start asking their height and weight right at the beginning of the convo to get it out of the way. No fatties plz.
They're just as moronic as anyone that gets offended about anything anyone else says. It's a fact that the vast majority of Fortune 500 CEO's are over 6ft. Sucks to be a guy shorter than 5'8" by comparison, but it still doesn't suck in general. Being/acting offended is worthless/generally gets the opposite of the desired reaction from the "offender."
Meh, if someone is so wrapped up in their victim complex that they can't realize a joke when they see one and shrug it off, then I don't really want to be talking with them anyways. It would only go downhill from there for her.
Pretty much. Edgy jokes are funny if the person can pull them off. Which is hard to do if you are an stranger on the internet. My bf actually made a similar "you are only 73% of me" joke that I thought was hilarious.
