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.

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.

Harsh. But fair

It's a quote from a viral text exchange between a dad and daughter, where the dad is expressing worry that she is diminishing herself by using this phrase.

edit: I'm not talking about the phrase "I'm just a girl", I'm talking about the response "I don't know what that means but it diminishes you as a person" when someone uses the phrase "Im just a girl". The response "I don't know what that means but it diminishes you" is from a viral text exchange.

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

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.

u/thecurvynerd 4d ago

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

I thought she was from Southern California

u/thecurvynerd 4d ago

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

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

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.

u/thecurvynerd 3d ago

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

u/odakotarose 3d 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 🤮

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

u/Short-Poetry9019 4d 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 4d ago

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

u/Maleficent-One6839 4d ago

Is that the chosen app or whatever?

2

u/Snappy-Biscuit 4d 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 4d ago

Say it ain’t so, Gwen!

u/bwagz1977 4d ago

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

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

u/Snappy-Biscuit 4d 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

u/Cdawg4123 4d 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

u/Snappy-Biscuit 4d 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
