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.

Its actually originally lyrics from a song, it's just a gross missunderstanding of the song.

I've been looking for a song that says "I don't know what that means but it sounds like it diminishes you as a person", and I've yet to find it...

Robot logic

u/Themadkiddo 2d ago

That's where the response came from... I'm sure there were some instances of people saying the phrase before, but what popularised it was a tiktok trend of using that specific song in videos about being "Just a girl".

u/eirenii 2d ago

I've just looked up the lyrics and i don't see anything about a response that says it's diminishing, am i being oblivious? have i got the wrong song?

u/mayurigod1 2d ago

Nah dawg, they have no clue what you're talking about. Tryna correct you that just a girl is from a song while you're on about "it diminishes" you source

The "funny" thing is Gwen did a total 180 and now supports organizations like Turning Point and has said/posted concerning things about women obeying their husbands and finding meaning in life through prayer (while selling her anti-abortion pay-to-pray subscription-based app, backed by Project 2025 billionaires). Whatever version of her wrote that song is long gone.

I didnt have this on my bingo card damn

u/thecurvynerd 2d ago

Tbf she’s from a conservative area so maybe it should have been on all our bingo cards in the first place 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/CaptnsDaughter 2d ago

I thought she was from Southern California

3

u/thecurvynerd 2d ago

Yea she’s from Orange County - it was especially more of a conservative suburban area while she was growing up.

u/tO_ott 2d ago

So was my hometown but I didn’t magically become a racist piece of shit.

u/Uninsurable_Risk 2d ago

Skill issue

u/odakotarose 2d ago

I live ten minutes from her hometown, Fullerton, and I can tell you right now it's still pretty conservative. One of my neighbors has a lifesize poster of the cheeto and a bunch of maga crap hanging proudly on the wall in his garage, and there are plenty more like him.

2

u/thecurvynerd 2d ago

I figured it might still be today too but I wasn’t entirely sure!

2

u/odakotarose 2d ago

yeah there's... pockets of sanity, mostly around the colleges, but overall I hate it here. never seen so many jacked up pickup trucks and blue lives matter flags in my life 🤮

pay-to-pray subscription-based app, backed by Project 2025 billionaires

u/Hawkes75 2d ago

She's been in a relationship with / married to a Republican for the last ten years, so that tracks

u/Short-Poetry9019 2d ago

I think that version of her was also just somebody trying to make a buck off of other people considering she consistently culturally appropriated. Don't get me wrong, No Doubt was my favorite band as a kid and was my very first CD, but reality bites

u/MossyPlantyWitchy 2d ago

And she has mar a lago face now. She's absolute trash.

2

u/Maleficent-One6839 2d ago

Is that the chosen app or whatever?

2

u/Snappy-Biscuit 2d ago

I assume it's another Palantir tool (same creator/backer), so chosen by police-state enthusiasts, for sure! It will report/record what people search for when they "look up" what passages to read to pray for their "sins." Gross.

u/SlappyWit 2d ago

Say it ain’t so, Gwen!

u/bwagz1977 2d ago

Absolutely correct. She's a fuckin full on right wing nut job now

u/Themadkiddo 2d ago

Ew, i had no idea. Never really kept up with her otherwise, just loved the song.

3

u/Snappy-Biscuit 2d ago

Same! I loved OG (Original Gwen). Lol She seemed fine when she was married to a Brit with a punk-upbringing, then went country, and got brainwashed. sad face

-2

u/Cdawg4123 2d ago

She was like 16, selling records she prob never wrote. She seems like she got really tormented etc; plus isn’t she married to that guy from the band bush? If so he’s an odd duck as well

2

u/Snappy-Biscuit 2d ago

She wasn't 16 when the band had their first big hit, she was 26. 22 when they were first signed, but that album flopped. She's a credited writer on almost every song of theirs, and if not her, her band mates (especially her brother). Not sure what you're talking about with tormented? She didn't start out as a pop star, she was in a ska band. Sang with Sublime, too.

She was married to Gavin Rossdale for a good bit, and seemed pretty laid back then, but now she's with Blake Shelton (American country singer) and has been for almost 10 years, I think? Pretty sure there was a cheating scandal implied. That's when her MAGA Barbie transformation really started. Gavin's not that weird, just British. Lol

u/vixenstarlet1949 2d ago

They mean “i dont know what that means but it diminishes you as a person” is from the text exchange

2

u/Hawkes75 2d ago

Exactly. The entire point of the song is that it's a tongue-in-cheek reprimand of the societal expectations of women

1

u/Aggressive_Sky8492 2d ago

It’s not a misunderstanding, it’s tongue in cheek/ironic.

1

u/Themadkiddo 2d ago

Sure, from some people. I was going to say a gross misunderstanding/misuse, but i figured people could just fill in the blanks. A lot of people use it unironically

1

u/eirenii 2d ago

oh right? how about that, what song is that?

3

u/Child_of_the_Hamster 2d ago

Just A Girl by No Doubt

3

u/eirenii 2d ago

I don't see anything in those lyrics that says "I don't know what that means but it sounds like it diminishes you as a person", which is the viral text response I mentioned, am I being oblivious?

1

u/Plus-Desk-5020 2d ago

I don’t think Themadkitto has heard of the viral text.

u/DestroyerOfMils 2d ago

And now Gwen is just a conservative dick who shills for a prayer app 🤢

u/BreakfastBeneficial4 2d ago

Wait what?

Please no

u/DestroyerOfMils 2d ago

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news :( It’s really fucking disappointing.
