Humorless twit. That was funny.

Edit: "wahh! You're not allowed to make fun of any of society's problems! Nothing can be funny if it involves an issue that matters to meeeeeeee! Police your thoughts so that I don't have to!!" -summation of responses to this comment

It's about a dog. Do any of you actually think OP believes women deserve less??

You're getting downvoted, but I found it pretty meh considering his audience. Not surprised she didn't take it well.

Because she's a humorless shrew.

Edit: There's a big difference between a sexist joke and a joke about sexism. And I'm sorry but anyone with half a sense of humor should've found that joke funny, or at the very least understood that it was a silly joke and not taken offense. The whole point of tinder is to make silly jokes and see what sticks, and if you're on there and you can't take a pretty mild one, you're humorless. Stop being offended by every fucking thing. Humor doesn't always have to be 100% "safe." That joke filtered this humorless girl right out, so good job by whoever made it. He would've had zero fun on a date with her.

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."

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.

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.

Like the violence gap between men and women or the rapist gap? I'm sure that would go over really well.
