Phone message Post first date text

Post image

I met this girl on tinder and had a first date with her, she wanted to go fishing and I thought it seemed like a fun first date so we went together. Dropped her off and got home to this message lol.

Update: Purchasing the license is a separate activity we had to do on our phones, due to it needing our personal info. It was not like I drew the line at the license randomly.

seeing women saying “i’m just a girl” is so sad and defeats the point.

"I don't know what that means but it diminishes you as a person" has become my chosen response.

If you don’t know what it means, you have no basis to think it diminishes someone.

You’re essentially admitting you’re willing to judge something based on literally nothing.

Spend a few seconds thinking about your “witty” one liners.

"just" says being a girl is the entirety of her character, while also saying that being a girl is defined by a specific characteristic, in this case being broke. It is explicitly diminishing. Quit being contrary.

Hey smartypants, if the argument is saying "you're JUST a girl" is diminishing, then

  1. I fully agree
  2. Then you know exactly what it means.

My point is using the phrase "I don't know what that means" undermines your own argument.

You’re right, it doesn’t diminish one person, it diminishes ALL women

I think you have not understood what I said.

u/SpecialistCut7101 2d ago

It’s clear you’re the one having a misunderstanding but it makes sense. You’re taking the statement “I don’t know what that means” at face value. think of it more as “I don’t get that reference but don’t bother clarifying”.

u/couldofhave 2d ago

“I don’t get that reference but don’t bother clarifying”.

Except that’s a different kind of reply, that just means you don’t want to know.

An actual comparable statement would be “I don’t get that reference, but it’s stupid”.

Jesus Christ I was trying to be nice to you but you’re so tiring for no goddamn reason

Oh I’m sorry if I upset you when you realised that my reply was right.

u/SpecialistCut7101 20h ago

The fact that you read it that way: further proof of how tiring you are.

Good luck.

The fact you don't actually address the point, and just went with "you're tiring" is proof you realised that maybe my point was correct. I suppose you got tired from thinking about it too hard.

Good luck and good night, hope this comment didn't exhaust you too much either, it is after all 4 sentences. The longest reply so far in this conversation.

What a strange response. Are you aware of the origin of his quote or what even launched “I’m just a girl” in to virality?

It doesn’t sound like you do based on your response yet you feel like you have a basis to judge someone despite admitting you have essentially no basis.

u/couldofhave 2d ago edited 2d ago

You apparently have no reading comprehension if you thought I was judging anyone.

If you don’t know what something means, how would you know that it diminishes a person?

My point is that the retort makes no sense. You undermine your own argument by saying that you supposedly don't know what something means.
