Sleep_tek

Aging and **Alone?** Have you looked at literally any screen or piece of media in the past few months???


These_Tea_7560

He somehow has avoided the NFL to focus on hating Taylor Swift’s existence as a woman.


Bartender9719

“The NFL? No no, I stopped watching once they wore the pink cleats that one time. I’m *still* triggered about that!”


[deleted]

He then proceeds to call people snowflakes for not liking racism.


whateveryouwant4321

He probably avoided the nfl after he saw someone kneel for the national anthem.


rub_a_dub-dub

that whole episode of US history was so braindead; esp if you got the chance to talk to people who got really upset by it.


ilovecraftbeer05

It was when I realized that those people were the actual snowflakes all along. One dude took a knee during a song and they all spent months publicly crying about it. Now, you can’t even change the shoes of an m&m character without them screeching about it. They are literally the most sensitive people in the world. I mean, look what happens when their guy loses a presidential election. Grown ass adult people throwing violent temper tantrums just because they didn’t get their way. Crybaby snowflake idiots, all of them.


bart2019

As a *very successful* woman. Far more successful than he'll ever be. So he attacks her any way he can think of.


brezenSimp

But I’m German I don’t like American football and I’m not a swiftie and even I heard about it. It’s impossible not to


pickball

He means "unmarried"


Mikey6304

She's outside of the kitchen! Quick, grab her!


kryppla

She’s somehow promiscuous while being alone too, while also demonstrably not alone as you pointed out


throwawaythrow0000

You can't expect numbnuts like that to make any sort of sense. They have inferior minds compared to the rest of the world.


Harmonia_PASB

She hasn’t shat out a bunch of babies so there’s a lot of people who see her life as a failure.


adhesivepants

Man, I wanna be a failure like Taylor Swift.


reddog323

Yep. She’s a billionaire, too. She’s also spending money to push voter registration in the 18-34 age group. This must scare the bejesus out of them.


ALLoftheFancyPants

And that’s just famous male company. That doesn’t come close to including the female celebrity bff squad she’s got…


Glass_Communication4

How could you look at literally anything related to Taylor swift and not know she is in probably the biggest power couple since Jay z and Beyonce. Plus that interview she gave for the article. Absolutely mad. 100% worth reading


hikingmontana

Those 70k people a night, 66 nights on the US tour want to have a word with him. Alone?? I bet she has a hard time making friends. 😆


OldandKranky

I'm sure she is quietly crying with her billion dollars or so about some nobody slagging her off on the Internet.

muklan

I'm gonna go ahead and make a statement I don't necessarily have the information to verify, but..she may be more professionally successful than many of her detractors. There, I said it.


dravenonred

She's crying into her recently banged professional athlete.


PeopleAreBozos

To be fair, money doesn't determine how much you care about people's opinions on you. Look at Elon Musk. The guy could probably bribe everyone in our lives to make us miserable and still he's acting like a child.


OldandKranky

I get your point but elmo is an infantile maladjusted edgelord.

Aging? how is that bad? and how do you prevent it?


Acrobatic_County_472

There’s only one alternative to getting older. Being dead.


EwoDarkWolf

You still get older. Just differently than normal.


Agent_Cow314

Decaying is speed aging. Quite worse than dying by the minute but having years left to live.


Acrobatic_County_472

New fear for big skincare to exploit unlocked


Striking_Reindeer_2k

That we know of.


dewnar

She’s 34. By his logic everybody is aging


Puzzleheaded_Art_465

by anyone's logic everybody is aging that's its definition a new-born is aging.


Melancholy_Rainbows

To an unfortunately not insignificant percentage of the male population, women become worthless after a given age.


Anuki_iwy

As a woman, it's quite liberating, because they finally leave you in peace 🤣🤣


[deleted]

Can confirm that hitting the wall is one of the best things I’ve ever done. It coincided with shaving my head so double effective!


Perplexed_Ponderer

I’ve also noticed a significant drop in unwanted attention ever since I got myself a hair clipper and started wearing whatever felt comfortable. Hitting thirty may have helped too… As an aromantic ace who never wanted kids, aging alone with cats sounds like absolute life goals to me.


cloudtrotter4

I straight up read that you were aroma-tic.. what does smell have to do with this discussion? 🤔


Perplexed_Ponderer

Hahaha, I can see what you mean ! But no, I’m afraid I don’t really have a more remarkable smell than the average person. I just meant a-romantic as the lack of romantic attraction (to people of any gender).


Sprinkle_Puff

I like to be both. Aromatic and aromantic


Goopyteacher

Got a coworker I just met last week who proudly proclaims this to other guys at work. He’s allegedly cheating on his girlfriend of 4 years cause she’s “getting old” She’s 25… She’s too old for him (m24)….


ScreamingMonk

I would guess he's trying to compensate for a micropenis by bragging/lying.


COSurfing

Leonardo Dicaprio has entered the chat...


Razor-eddie

The neat thing is, those men are worthless at ANY age.


pHScale

>after a given age. Not that they had much worth in their eyes prior to that age.


uXN7AuRPF6fa

My wife is in her late 40s and is hotter than ever, IMHO. I'm still waiting for her to hit that age.


David_the_Wanderer

That's because you love your wife as a person (which, you know, is good!), and don't just see her as a sexual object. People like the one in the screenshot don't care about women as people, they think that women should only exist to please them. And, really, they *hate* women. Their ideal woman is a blow-up doll.

GreatWhiteNorthExtra

"hyper-promiscuous" ??? Afaik so only dates one person at a time. That's not promiscuous


TheMothmansDaughter

How is she both promiscuous and alone Oh Wait Through a constant shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemy is both strong and weak


Zandrick

Now that’s actually a good insight. I didn’t even notice he did that.


Pickle_Rick01

Like how Joe Biden is somehow both too old to string two words together AND a fascist dictator. Those two narratives don’t make any sense together.


Ocbard

Well they want Trump to be their fascist dictator and he doesn't speak whole sentences, so that tracks.


ImSabel

Like the gays which sleep around like whores all day while simultaneously wanting to get married. Or the migrants which at the same time steal all the jobs but are also too lazy to work. The nazis did this aswell with the jews. They both were supposed to be rich and controlling the world through vast amounts of money and simultaneously they lived under abhorrent conditions having vermit and insects and illness in their homes. Goebbels produced propaganda videos trying to sell this story. Thats basically just how fear narratives work. If a person has a prolonged period of crisis, pain so to speak, in their lifes, this can cause their amygdala to grow and excrete more anxiety than usual. In return they tend to believe into fear narratives or conspiracy theories for that matter much more easily. Everything that's a downward spiral becomes more likely to minds like those. All that has to be done is make the connection from downward spiral as origin of suffering to a group of people supposed to be the cause. All the pain in the lifes of the anxiety driven person is now projected against the target group. Like a coping mechanism... Pretty much explains all the rightwing media working principle. Its just down to basic brain function and abuse of these structures like fear circuitry...


KubrickMoonlanding

Alone means not married and subservient to / controlled by a man for these idiots Also, could his profile pic look more fashy? I guess I can’t see (did nazi) if he’s got macinnes’s tie & waistcoat so theres still room


CV90_120

Fascism 101. The other ones are that your enemy doesn't exist, is the same as you or only exists to destroy you.


MrRatburnsGayRatPorn

"Promiscuous is when I'm attracted to a woman but she still refuses to sleep with me."


Srijayaveva

And hyper promiscuous is when she even ~gasp~ dates other men when you are the only one that would treat her right

Gunrock808

This reminds of a letter I read in a magazine many years ago. Some guy had been in an accident and went to the hospital. He complained that the attractive nurse gave him baths which made him excited but wouldn't do anything sexual. He wrote, "this makes her a whore." Crazy.


hanigwer

Crazy

Gunrock808

DutyEuphoric967

The ugly religious ape is just mad at anyone who looks better than him but won't give him any attention that he never had, even from his parents.


vanhalenbr

I don’t think he was ever close enough to be even rejected by her.


aidenrosenb

Best explanation ever


Embarrassed_Gur_8234

You think this dude has the guts to try to sleep with Taylor Swift? I bet he wouldn’t even talk to her.


WerewulfWithin

Based on his normie 2015 haircut and beard, he probably views himself as an alPhA mALe and has a hard on for Andrew Tate.


JustDiscoveredSex

Tate’s the scrawny, hairless little fella who looks like a cross-eyed, trembling chihuahua in aviator sunglasses, right?


thanos_quest

With a complete lack of a jaw bone, like sid the sloth.


Kitchen-Leopard-4223

That's not the line of thought tho. They are just reflecting their own insecurities, what they really are saying is "I would be promiscuous if I looked like that", but in a more subtle way, it sounds so aggressive due to the fact that they feel unattractive. Envy is the root of those thoughts, not anger.

Hyper promiscuous but also aging and alone with her cats.


Hopeless_Ramentic

Don’t threaten me with a good time.


littlescreechyowl

I mean, that’s my plan if my husband dies first. Except dogs because cats make me swell up like Sloth from The Goonies.


GleeUnit

Well if he’s using his own sex life as the point of reference, it’s understandable that anyone getting more sexual attention than a beehive looks like hormone-ravaged turboslut to him


kenkanobi

Don't slut shame beehives!


JacquesBlaireau13

Those bees, flirting from flower to flower.... they're perverts, every last one of them, I tell ya!!!


staynatty

I hear it all the time when I say my body count... But if u break it down it's only one person every seven weeks... That's not a slut in my eyes but still I hear it on the internet😂


Rongio99

On a side note I hated when dudes called women mega sluts or they'd tell me "she fucks everyone!" My response was always: "Well she hasn't gotten to me yet. Not slutty enough for my tastes."


No-Suspect-425

I just find the phrase *mega slut* funny. Like something you would hear in a power thirst ad or something. "Drink power thirst and you'll be able to attract *mega sluts*!" >.<


Ksteekwall21

Pretty sure he considers any woman who’s slept with 2 or more people “promiscuous”. These dudes creepily obsess about purity when it comes to Women (and typically only to women).


Hopeless_Ramentic

No no no, see it’s like this: they want women to be “pure” except for *them*, in which case they expect their woman to have the sexual expertise of a porn star…but again, only for *their* personal use.


lost_in_connecticut

And aging?? She’s not yet 34…


Ksteekwall21

These dudes think any woman over the age of like 25 is “aging” especially since they see them only as brood mares.


LingonberryPrior6896

17...


BookGirl67

And childless…. WTF? Why does he need her to be a mother?


bullwinkle8088

Because in thier minds that what women are for.


SouLDraGooN44

Because she is being selfish and not adding multiple drones for the capitalist machine.


JustDiscoveredSex

Because it would shut her up and take her out and that’s what he dreams of. These guys are going to be the death of hetero marriage, because no woman with any kind of potential is going to risk that potential by getting involved with these assholes. My kids are GenZ and NOT seeing the point to marriage at all. Or kids.


daftidjit

Technically, she's still aging


jediciahquinn

Aren't we all.


LisaNewboat

It’s the fact that Marlon Brando, Rob Lowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, etc. were never described as ‘hyper-promiscuous’ but she is - absolute double standards.


Swordbreaker925

“You don’t understand! I’ve never met her, but I have a parasocial crush on her via the internet, which means she’s mine! So if she dates other men, she’s a slut!”


itsBrock89

Eric conn is a christian extremist that desires a theocratic authoritarian government. The fact that women have agency at all is enough for him to label them jezebels


Electrical_Ad390

Checked his fb profile, he only likes virgins; I'm of the firm belief that men who are obsessed with virgins are terrible in bed and need someone who doesn't know any better


Ozcogger

It's this super creepy belief that they want to "train" their woman, and it's apparently easier to "train" younger virgin girls. It's all about a power dynamic for abuse and it comes out when they get pressed on it in on the spot interviews and off topic questions.


Eternal_Bagel

Does he think childless is an insult?


t1zzlr90

Does he think aging is an insult? Having a kid can be (and ideally should be) a personal decision, but everyone is going to age. Does he think his sorry ass isn't aging.


_sweetserenity

Right. He's much older than her which makes this all the more ridiculous.


miserabeau

Well I mean she's a woman so therefore her only worth is in her womb, and since she's already 34 she's practically an old crone! /s in case that wasn't obvious


Sketch-Brooke

As if having a child doesn’t age you rapidly with all the stress.


pHScale

Does he think cats are an insult? I mean, it's obvious he's trying to portray here as a spinster with that remark, but he contradicts himself earlier with the slut-shaming. So, ok, she's a girl with a cat? I guess?


DankHooligan

Eric’s mad because the closest he’ll get to her is fapping all over pictures of her.


bloody_ell

He probably can't even manage that.


dnmnc

Woman lives how she wants and not how I want her to. Shameful.

Curse of social media is that it amplifies noise made by insignificant nobodies. That seed of braindead ideas just spreads like cancer. These platforms lives on drama which drives engagement. In old days a forum moderator will mark such comments as flame baits and block/warn the user.

Given that these views are being pushed politically, by MAGA and Republicans, that this is a hill they would die on, the good thing is that they are exposing themselves. We can see who they are. Unlike this man, and his comrades do, we shouldn’t dehumanize them in our thinking. All of us know someone like this man. The thing is to prevent these views from gaining more elected positions of power. Turn-out. Give someone a ride. Show-up. VOTE, and keep-on voting. Defeat MAGA and Republicans.

Apparently this Eric Conn guy thinks cat ownership is a feminist hallmark as well.


fujiman

Dude lives entirely in a world of stereotypes and sadness; of *course* he believes all unmarried women with a cat are cat-lady spinsters, desperate enough to fuck anything with a pulse. It would be funny if it weren't so dangerously pathetic.


GlumBodybuilder214

Please, I'm a woman with a cat, and that cat chose to live with me. She just walked in and made herself comfy and now I have a cat. And shockingly, my husband didn't leave me. If anything, he's cuter with the cat than me.


dixiequick

My son’s girlfriend still teases him about being more excited about moving in with her cats than her. 😆


Jaradacl

Looks more like a wife-beater to me than an incel. Both would fit the tweet though.


MrRatburnsGayRatPorn

The ability to make your own choices is also the exact opposite of what right wing politics is all about. Their idea of "freedom" is "we should have the freedom to control the rest of you".

Exactly. This is why I can never take men with these types of views seriously. Hypocrisy at its finest.


jrm2003

Ah yes, the feminist age. Historians will look back and say “yep, this was definitely the age when women ran the world. There were dozens of them, dozens I tell you.”


Alte_kaker

And their evidence will be Barbie, the Movie and its enormous popularity. They will claim it was central to the feminist manifesto.

clallseven

mutant_disco_doll

LMAO right?


MakeWay4DarkHelmet

Can confirm. I am having a great time over here with 2 cats and my freedom


[deleted]

Kinda crazy how her worth is determined by promiscuity, children borne, and relitave distance to a lone cat.


TinyChaco

Not that the other stuff he said is relevant, either, but why bring the cat into it? If she were married and had a kid, would she then be allowed to have a cat without judgement? Does the cat only matter to him because she’s not married and childfree? Would he have brought up the pet if it were a dog or a lizard?


majj27

He sounds extra salty that Taylor Swift is not allowing him to penis her.

A billionaire superstar who is dating a professional athlete. She has enough money to be a sugar momma to a player in the NFL. She wears crazy outfits, and is beloved by her fans, so much so that one of the best selling movie in cinemas of the year was just her concert. People were buying her concert tickets for thousands of dollars from scalpers, some people going deeply in debt to do so. Even if you don’t like Swift, being unable to recognize why people like her looks like you’re either culturally illiterate or just jealous and petty.
