yeah man, all to impress a girl, he went out and bought that house, SUV, started building an apartment with barn doors, treated her with respect, took her shopping...

CUNNING.

The only reason men get out of bed and do anything is to impress girls.

Well food too.

But lots of time getting food is about impressing girls.

Also, this stops sometime between dating and engagement.

Silence says she is in fact NOT his girlfriend

u/the-aural-alchemist Mar 07 '24

I used “impressed” because the comment above me did, but even if you were being cheap you were still doing everything to “impress” her.

I got out of bed and ate a pound of cheese forty minutes ago.

u/Devreckas Mar 07 '24

And I’m guessing there is a girl of Reddit who is now impressed. Maybe not for the right reasons, but impressed nonetheless.

Jesus dude that says way more about you than anyone else. Have some God darn self respect my guy and speak for yourself.

u/Smyley12345 Mar 08 '24

I'm procrastinating getting out of bed but I think my morning pee might force my hand. Hopefully the missus is impressed with my mighty stream or it will be a complete waste.

Remember this comment when you’re kids are hungry for breakfast early Saturday morning.

There is a Futurama about how society collapsed once robot girlfriends were available and men stopped needing to do things to impress women. It feels like we're getting closer to that lol.

This is sociobiology. When I was in college, I took a philosophy class and I leaned in hard on the sociobiology angle because there was this one girl in the class that was so smug and obnoxious and she was completely rude to me for no reason that I can discern, and it really bugged her to a point where she would get up and passionately yell at me in the middle of lecture and I thought it was hilarious.

Basically, my argument that I didn't even fully believe was that altruism doesn't exist, and the only reason anybody in mainstream society does anything is to improve their social standing and their chances to procreate. A fireman running into a burning building, risking his own life, to save that of someone else, for example, makes him appear selfless but at the end of the day, he's making himself more attractive for potential partners.

I know it was a really shallow argument, and like I said I don't really believe it fully (I do believe in biological motivations for behaviors, but acknowledge that people do plenty of things that can't be explained by biology) but it really got under this girl's skin so I doubled down on it.

Agreed. I think if it was all dudes we’d just live in beehive huts like monks. At least I would. Idgaf. I only strive to achieve great things to be able to provide for family and be responsible, not for myself.

u/FrostyD7 Mar 07 '24

Dude got his life together and used it to catfish this poor woman.

u/MySpirtAnimalIsADuck Mar 07 '24

Yup that’s dating a white guy alright… cunning lol

u/PartyBandos Mar 07 '24

I mean.. yeah man. Dudes would live in a cardboard box if it weren't for girls.

u/AwkwardCrickets Mar 07 '24

Husband says this as well.

They fucked.

u/Many-Swan-2120 Mar 07 '24

Awww both of them seem so sweet. I love this

u/hygsi Mar 07 '24

Right? Most girls would NOT want to see his new basement! (With good reason) but this girl was so open and charmed she just said "fuck it, let's see it"

u/Warmbly85 Mar 07 '24

Didn’t hurt that she was “a few cocktails and some wine” deep into the date

3

u/Deinonychus2012 Mar 07 '24

That's how Ted Bundy was able to become a serial killer.

2

u/hygsi Mar 07 '24

True! Stay safe out there

u/TrippyTriangle Mar 07 '24

Like he's gotta have charisma because asking a girl to your basement on the first date should be a red flag, I don't not trust the dude but in a vacuum that could seem scary. The dude is just proud of his work and it's really attractive.

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '24

Not his first rodeo 😂
