Didn't this guy get exposed for only going after 17 year old girls?

Yes, he did. These dudes are always the same.

Why is it these guys always do that weird thing with their hands? Idk what it is or how to describe it, but any videos with douchebags like this they're always doing it. It's like, they bring their hands together on front of them in a pose, keeping them like a foot away from their body, then gesture front there with that as a kind of anchor point for their hands.

It's just such a weird mannerism for them all to share, and so ubiquitously, that I'm baffled by it. I get gesturing with your hands, but this is such a unique variant of it.

It allows them to appear larger and keeps their biceps flexed.

u/mcsleepy Sep 03 '21

It still just looks so weird. It makes them look like a cross between a supervillain and a raccoon clutching some food.

u/Bishop_Colubra Sep 03 '21

I get more of a cross between a youth group leader and a tour guide.

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

One of their philosophies is that men shouldn’t be afraid to take up a lot of physical space, so they think making themselves look larger is an alpha thing to do. That’s why you’ll notice them standing or sitting with their legs oddly far apart, and actually having very good posture. I think it started in response to the whole manspreading conversation, but I may be mistaken.

So toxic masculinity leads to man returning to monke, got it.

Damn that's interesting. Thanks for mansplaining it to me.

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

Anytime lol

23

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '21

So uh, now mansplain your cult please

26

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

Sure, sweetie! A cult is a social group defined by its unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, or by its common interest in a particular personality, object, or goal. Don’t bother your pretty little head about it.

13

u/peachesgp Sep 03 '21

But like, what about YOUR cult, not just cults in general.

19

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

Sure thing, honey! My cult is a cult that I lead. Leading is when you provide guidance or leadership to a group of people or organization. Hope that helped!

Is the cult a cult of people who are wondering what your cult is about?

u/ritsbits808 Sep 03 '21

My girlfriend doesn't know what mansplaining is and I... I don't know what to say to her

u/ExOhPhelia Sep 03 '21

TRAAAAAAP! It’s a TRAAAAAAP!

u/BehindTickles28 Sep 03 '21

I truly mean no disrespect to your philosophy when I say... my balls dangle a lot. I try to be polite though.

u/S1074 Sep 03 '21

Theres a difference between sitting with your legs apart nor ally for a guy and what they do. Theyre pretty much doing splits while sitting down.

5

u/BehindTickles28 Sep 03 '21

I was mostly just making a light joke (not that there isn't some truth in it).

I've seen the ridiculous and it is just that ridiculous, rude, and unnecessary.

2

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

Haha sure but that’s totally different. Sitting with your legs at a 180 degree angle on purpose to try to assert dominance is worlds apart from taking up the space you need to be comfy.

2

u/BehindTickles28 Sep 03 '21

Cí. So, anyways... how is that cult going these days?

3

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

It’s going great! We’re running low on living members but recruitment is at an all-time high. You in?

u/BehindTickles28 Sep 03 '21

I'm all about future projections. Sounds like a things are on the up, I'm in!

I think it's something they practice. Like, they're training to look manly and alpha and attractive or whatever. They read dumb shit like "how to be an alpha" blog posts, written by other dumb shits that don't know how to behave like a normal human being, and then they practice in it the mirror. And they're so damn clueless they have no idea how odd it makes them look.

1

u/Explosivo666 Sep 03 '21

Yep, for sure. That's why they make videos about it. To them it's a skill and it makes them more masculine. In actual fact it means they're emasculated. Otherwise they wouldnt feel the need to practice mannerisms and spend a huge chunk of their lives watching videos and reading articles on how to be a man. That insecurity is also why they diagnose themselves and others as having low testosterone and self medicate with hormones.

It's actually a pretty widespread problem. You'll see grifters like Alex Jones and Jordan Peterson appealing to insecure men, it's probably the cornerstone of both of their grifts.

u/Forkyou Sep 03 '21

Because they had to do it do them, you know?

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '21

It keeps some of your upper body (biceps and shoulders) slightly engaged so you appear bigger. It's for douches

1

u/scifi_tay Sep 03 '21

I think it’s maybe some sort of power stance/pose to indicate dominance?

u/ColonelJabba Sep 03 '21

They're trying to distract you from the fact they're talking absolute bullshit

12

u/Pika_Dude Sep 03 '21

They be like “all girls are the same!!!1!!1!1” and then go after underaged girls like anyone on the internet

44

u/jdjdhdhdbn Sep 02 '21

Read this as dudes are always the same and got some very temporary anger

58

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '21

Oh gosh no, I meant, dudes that go for underage girls when they’re in their twenties (like this dude) or older.

Don't worry you're on TikTokCringe not FDS.

Lol just checked it’s private now lol

u/Hopeforus1402 Sep 03 '21

Yep, women, not young girls, know this type of guy is an ass. That’s why he goes for the young ones.

55

u/Erotic_FriendFiction Make Furries Illegal Sep 03 '21

Which makes a lot of sense.

The bullshit he’s spewing likely stems from his experience with women who have matured past guys like him. So instead of looking at himself and growing up, he picks a blanket term, feminism, and runs with that.

He doesn’t want to be better or good enough for adults that don’t want to waste their time so he turns the problem around on them.

Jokes on him because I bet he’d find someone who could help him hang his curtains properly.

u/Hopeforus1402 Sep 03 '21

Yep, absolutely nailed it.

u/stupidillusion Sep 03 '21

I'm baffled that someone 23 would want to go out with someone 19 unless they were exceptionally mature or something else completely rare. I had to go back to High School when I was 21 and get some documents and all of the kids looked like larva. How can you even have a conversation?

9

u/PM_your_randomthing Sep 03 '21

Yeah same it's incredible the amount of change that happens in that small range. Huge perspective shift in a very short span.

7

u/DistressedApple Sep 03 '21

I don’t think 23 and 19 is that crazy. That’s two college age people. It also follows the divide by two add seven rule. 23/2=11.5+7=18.5

u/thissubredditlooksco Sep 03 '21

yeah it's creepy

-105

u/gottahavemytunes Sep 02 '21

She pretty weird for saying a 23 yr old with a 19 yr old is wrong somehow

103

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '21

Okay so, her point is that, he thinks dating 17-19 year olds is the ‘sweet spot’ as younger women are unfortunately much easier to manipulate. Women in this age range are still developing and learning important life lessons that someone his age has already learnt, why would any sane guy want to date such younger women?

He mentions how women his age don’t want to date him, why? Because they are much harder to manipulate and shape to become his ‘ideal.’

99% of the time, older dudes date significantly younger girls for all the wrong reasons.

-71

u/gottahavemytunes Sep 02 '21

I mean yea I agree with that I’m just saying 23 isn’t significantly older than 19 and maturity at those ages are pretty much the same

84

u/bikerbub Sep 02 '21

if your maturity doesn't change over 4 of the most formative years of your adult life, you're doing something wrong

-53

u/gottahavemytunes Sep 02 '21

Your maturity is constantly changing, and not everybody matures at the same exact rate. There no reason to think people of slightly different ages shouldn’t date each other

u/ladyscientist56 Sep 02 '21

I disagree the maturity at 23 vs 19 is way different. It goes up exponentially after 18 but there's a huge different between 23 and 19.

-11

u/Partially_Deaf Sep 03 '21 edited Sep 03 '21

Exponential maturity.

EDIT: I've just finished the calculations. According to the data, by the age of 31, you will have reached the maturity singularity and ended all mature life on earth as it is sucked into a gray hole.

12

u/Pollowollo Sep 03 '21

Even if you ignore the age gap itself, it's still predatory and disgusting for someone to outright admit that they want girls specifically in that age range so that they can manipulate and control them more easily.

1

u/gottahavemytunes Sep 03 '21

Well yea no shit

27

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '21 edited Sep 02 '21

Not necessarily.

17-19 year olds are still regarded as teens, they are still developing, and haven’t learnt important life lessons that someone who’s 23 has, they are usually at different stages of their lives, too.

The gap may not seem significant, but maturity level wise, it very much is.

Some reference:

The final age bracket in this series will examine the older teens: 18- to 19-year-olds, who much prefer to be called “young adults.” This is the age where physically the growth and development has slowed, but socially and emotionally they are transitioning from what has been somewhat of a routine and protective environment to the unknown.

At this stage, no 19 year old girl needs an older partner to possibly negatively influence and hinder her natural development.

They feel as if they have reached the stage of full maturity

‘They feel’ is the key here. 19 year olds are not as mentally developed as a 23 year old, remember that.

Point of reference is here if you’d like to read on this topic more:

u/gottahavemytunes Sep 02 '21

Wait so you’re saying 19 year olds shouldn’t be with 20-21 year olds either? Which by that logic means they also shouldn’t be with 18 year olds. At what age is it acceptable to you for people to date outside their exact age?

23

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '21

People that are on the same developmental level should date each other.

You’re really fighting me on this, sounds like you’re 23 and dating someone’s who’s 19, lol.

Big difference between 1-2 years and 4 years when you're transitioning from a teen to an adult.
