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?

Incel Spaces sort of, but more in a personal failure rage sort of way.

I mean, it's enough of a trope of a dude blushing till he's red as a beet. Or yeah, being so happy his soul literally wavers out of his body. Not a collector of these things, just an experiencer of them.

I don't know, I've seen memes like that, but expressed differently. Most men don't like to express anything resembling vulnerability or desperation publicly. So the meme is structured differently.

I’m allowed to act like that with out being shamed for being gay from every fucking person in existence? Doubtful. I already deal with people just assuming I’m gay when I am clear I’m not. Let’s just add fucking fuel to the fire. 😆
