Are there any places online where cishet men do the "omg a pretty girl looked at me and I forgot how to exist" memes that you find in some lesbian spaces? (hexbear.net)

this has been on my mind a lot. I follow some lesbian meme shitposting groups and there's tons of memes that are just like "This girl looked at me and I died and then she smiled at me and I came back to life" and I just cannot think of any cishet men's spaces that bring that have that level of absolutely dorky dysfunctional love for women. And, like, cishet men, their whole thing is supposed to be being in to women, and that just strikes me as really weird that there's not an equivalent. Like the closest I can think of is wife guy memes but that's just one wife, usually.

Do any spaces like that exist? Is it even possible given the way gender works in society?

Crawled out of bed for this post. Cis men worse than lesbians at being attracted to women? Indeed, the sun will rise and set today. Being a lesbian is so much fuckin cooler.

So you know about the patriarchy,

Bros are completely incapable of presenting a self that's anything but domineering, usually. I will say I think some of our dorky soft loverboys here do things like this now and then, which I approve of.
