They're not really lying, it's more like those medieval drawings of exotic animals the artist had clearly never seen before, based purely on rumors and secondhand descriptions.

The man I've come closest to falling in love with was a short, chubby, hair-thinning, stuttering goofball. He kept himself clean, well-groomed, and wore nice clothes that fit him.

He was so passionate about what he loved (art, cats, and European history) that I couldn't help but be absolutely smitten. His sincerity had me smiling from ear-to-ear every time I saw him get excited. Telling me about pieces of armor, paintings, music, and all kinds of other things, taking me to different places the way he spoke so happily about the things he cared about.

People can, more often than not, see through insincerity. Be real with what you like & who you are. The people who appreciate those things about you the real ones.

No...no...no... the only way is to catfish and lie because nobody will love you ever. The most you can hope for is to momentarily fool somebody into thinking your are something other than what you are for one hot second. That's just Interwebz 101

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie....

Yes I'm sorry my bad. Fake it until you're massively insecure and hateful because you feel you can't be yourself for the sake of attracting feeeeeemale attention. Then wallow in your misery when you realize that the problem might be a deep-rooted personal issue, but be sure to blame it on "normies" & wimmin instead of taking steps towards self-improvement and personal growth. ✨️❤️💵🤡🎉🎺❤️✨️

Now that's a rock solid plan that you can take to the bank!

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

I want to hook you up with my brother, who sounds very much like your dude, but not married.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Drop me his email! Or whatever people use to communicate these days (with his consent, of course).

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I'd love to know how you are going to start that conversation.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

~~Dick pic~~

With a friendly greeting, then an inquiry about what kind of hobbies and interests he has, probably.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I mean, will this lemmy thread be mentioned? If not, on what date will the origin story be revealed?

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

We'll livestream our wedding on Lemmy & I'll reveal it there.

Turns out, he was already married.

Lovely man, but he had some issues to work out. Wished him the best and forced myself to move on.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oof.

Hope you found someone else. You deserve to be happy

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Maybe one day. Much appreciated!

Someone else in this thread had "Shark" in their name. Common interest there. Kismet?

[-] Bread@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

I needed to hear this today. Thank you.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

You are worthy of love, my dear.

[-] Bread@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

I'm not crying, you're crying! :')

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 99 points 2 years ago

Thing is: you were a normie all along.

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 42 points 2 years ago

Someone much smarter than me once wrote that everyone thinks of their outgroup as "normies": Catholics think of non-Catholics as "normies", and "goyim" is just the Hebrew word for "normies".

[-] Luccus@feddit.org 20 points 2 years ago

I just want to say: everyone in my outgroup sucks.

They don't like it when you pat them on the head or rub their belly. Like; they'll tell you their dog died, their fiancé left them, and they have to fight for custody of the kids - and they expect you to use words to comfort them?! Words. Absolute insanity, I tell you! In-sa-ni-ty!

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Which is why I ironically use "muggles" with my tech-literate friends when talking about people with normal levels of tech literacy

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 74 points 2 years ago

The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I recognize this. What is it from?

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

I think it was in /b/‘s header if I’m not mistaken

[-] match@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago

A traditional part of /b/ rules alongside "zomg none!!1"

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

In fact, b has several rules

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Ah, makes senss

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 57 points 2 years ago

It's almost like being an actual human being and putting in minimum effort makes you interesting at a base level compared to just jerking off on your keyboard and dwelling in the past.

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 38 points 2 years ago

Minimum effort? Why are the standards so high?

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Well, if they are lower, they'll just end up jizz stained and crumpled up under the bed.

[-] NuWuX@sh.itjust.works 40 points 2 years ago

They're just trying to get you to lower your guard so they can trick you and make fun of you; don't fall for it Anon!

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 4 points 2 years ago

Every fucking time I think its going well...

[-] Icalasari@fedia.io 39 points 2 years ago

Anon forgot to act like the average /b/tard. That tends to get normies to flee in terror

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah that's always a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

Wasn’t there one of these recently about getting a job?

Exact same outcome.
