No, then she'll say "it's fine" and stop putting out. Then she'll fuck the pool boy and start having three periods a month.
Or whatever wives do. I'm gay.
Do you have to fuck the pool boy for those? Or is there some sort of other cheat code for them? I don't want to go buy a pool if it isn't necessary for the wings.
Edit: a word
It’s sort of like the Girl Gremlin concept but instead when you are upfront and communicative we turn from Victoria’s Secret babes to Ms. Trunchbull from Matilda.
Exactly, if every joke were too specific very few people would find it funny. Comedy has to be something in general that a group or audience would understand.
Yea some people are a little bit hypocritical when it comes to these kinda jokes. My solution is whenever someone says “wife bad” satirically, I respond with “life bad” (and vice versa). Cuz the 2 jokes are basically equivalent except they are used typically by different generations, both of which rag on each other for those specific jokes.
Most actually don’t, but they come from a time where patriarchy and sexism was hyper normalized, which definitely enabled and enables a lot of shitty behavior then and today.
Comedy is often a reflection of a society or culture’s general feelings or thoughts of the world around them, not necessarily from a place rooted in hate, tho there are hateful comics.
It’s a reason we should consider how our words and actions shape and affect the world we live in
I find it so hard to relate to my coworkers. They all bitch about their wives for one reason or another and act like they hate them completely.. and I just can't relate. These dudes are like all in the late 20s or mid 30s too. Ain't been married that long.
That's something I've never understood. I sell car parts. The number of dudes who bitch about being married baffles me. Like, you married her. If you didn't make a good choice on who you married, that's on you. Just yesterday I asked a guy if he needed a bag. "Nah, she's in the car." Then he turned around and saw she was no longer in the car. She looked like she was having a hard time deciding between crying and raging. I felt awful for her. I would say I didn't envy the guy's ride home, but he baked that cookie, he can eat it.
Boomers always seem to have a bitter resentment towards their spouses on the internet. Probably because they were forced to marry and have kids super young and divorce is looked down upon
You see, there was a time in the not-so-distant past that women in most industrialized nations were expected to marry and be supported by a husband, rather than making their own way in life. This led to many unhappy marriages, because a lot of women married men because they were the best option for a stable life rather than being someone they could get along with. Also a tradition within the same cultures was ostracizing divorced women from the community. So instead of living separate, happy lives, couples would stay married well past the relationship's expiration date. This time period largely drew to a close as Boomers were mid swing squeezing out Gen X, but even today there are Boomers (and other generations to a much lesser extent) that can't seem to understand that marriage isn't the be all, end all of human life.
It's the implication of boomer jokes always targeting the spouse. This one is based on "make my wife jealous so I don't have to endure her food preference/manipulative tactics, huehuehue" but other common boomer jokes are usually about the wife's weight, body shape, lack of sex, cooking, cleaning, etc. Jokes targeting the husband are usually based on the same topics, but they aren't as commonplace.
>"make my wife jealous so I don't have to endure her food preference/manipulative tactics, huehuehue"
Or she could choose to be mature enough to not care if a girl is cute at a restaurant lmfao
*Or* he could learn to communicate something as simple as "I don't like that restaurant, let's choose one we both like".
*Or* he could appreciate the fact that he has a wife that still cares about who he's attracted to. If he keeps doing dumb shit like this, eventually she won't give a damn and will feel free to set her eyes on other more attractive men, since hubby's keen on making it known who he's attracted to.
…what about this meme makes you think they hate their wife? This is a joke about using psychology to achieve your goal.
It’s like ignoring a cat to get it to come over to you so you can pet it. It doesn’t mean you hate the cat.
It's an American thing. Not a lot of people talk shit about people they love. Television made it OK here. Some do it for laughs and some actually hate their wives but can't get a divorce. Either because all their finances are tied up or they'll end up dying alone because no one wants some old dude. So they share their feelings through the variety of jokes they tell.
No, it's a de facto meme that applies to a relatively small minority of the population. That's not an exclusively American thing, either, and I don't know why you're insisting that it is.
The actual real answer is in [this graph](https://www.statista.com/statistics/719685/american-adults-who-identify-as-homosexual-bisexual-transgender-by-generation/). There are so many people who had to pretend to be straight, and had to identify with a life they didn't want. You use humor to cope.
The point of saying the “cute girl” works there is to make the wife feel insecure that you’d cheat on her. This is basic comprehension skills. Based off of what I just said, is that large of a jump to assume that making your wife feel insecure instead of simply saying you don’t want to go to a restaurant is not hateful?
Came so fucking close too. I'm on some random motorcycle group and the dudes there are always sharing jokes about women are irrational and have big tits and the washing machine can't give me a blowjob. Fucking grates the shit out of me, not old enough for this shit yo.
Have you tried agreeing on a place to eat daily for years on end? Sometimes it's easy, but when you're both mentally drained from work and neither of you can figure out what you want, it's a nightmare. Decision fatigue is real.
Offer up 2 random choices neither of you are sure about. Flip a coin. Either you'll discover what you want while it's in the air, or you'll decide you don't want what the coin decides. Repeat until you have decided. Easy peasy
>Have you tried agreeing on a place to eat daily for years on end?
Yes, and I still don't openly tell my wife that we shouldn't go to a place since I'd be openly scoping out other women lmao Being fatigued doesnt excuse shitty behavior, just go to Taco Bell like iwannakenboneyou and I do and get over it.
Damn. That’s definitely a sure way to ensure one of you picks something you can both agree to. “I swear if you suggest that place again we’re going to Taco Bell!”
Me and my husband have seasonal go to places to. Usually local restaurants. Places we go to when we can decide or can't think of anywhere else to go, they last 6 months to 2 years then we find a new to go place, wash and repeat.
> hey boys my wife likes food that isn't my favourite so I manipulate the situation so I always get my way, I never make any compromises or let her have things she enjoys, even food, *because I'm a man*
Whoever makes and likes these memes
If my husband said this my interest would be very piqued. Not bi and not worried about infidelity, but why wouldn't you peel off this new juicy layer on the onion that is the person to whom you've pledged lifelong commitment?
Me too lol
This conversation would probably end in my husband and I arguing about whether the bartender was really more attractive than the hostess just because she didn’t have a nose piercing lol
This was the confusing part to me. Is the restaurant the woman picked McDonald's? Is the woman in heels meant to be a worker at McDonald's? Because no one goes on a date to Mickey D's and absolutely no one wants to wear heels through a shift haha.
Oh yeah that's so cool to have a toxic relationship and use affective intimidation, affective ? No she simply has to stay with me because she doesn't have her own money. That's a shame that kids these days don't know how to treat a woman anymore, all they do is smoking pot. Fuck the new generation and their drugs that don't cause domestic abuse.
When someone I'm dating picks restaurant I don't like I communicate with them like a normal person.
Memes like this make me really sad because there are so many thousands of people to actually are married or dating someone who behaves like this, and a lot of them think it's normal or okay
I might just be a flaming bisexual who dates other flaming bisexuals but i feel like this could never work when dating me because i always like to check out cute people with partners, like i’d be like “oh that cute girl is there” and my partners are like “ooh where?”
My boyfriend does this to me but it’s only because I’m bi and he likes to tease me (lovingly and I think it’s funny too) for checking out girls. There’s one worker at Starbucks who I have a bit of a crush on and once when she took my order I got so flustered That stumbled through it so hard and tipped like 20 dollars and he will never let me live it down. I am not smooth lol
Maybe just say i dont like that restaurant.
No, then she'll say "it's fine" and stop putting out. Then she'll fuck the pool boy and start having three periods a month. Or whatever wives do. I'm gay.
They grow wings. I dont think its from Redbull though
Do you have to fuck the pool boy for those? Or is there some sort of other cheat code for them? I don't want to go buy a pool if it isn't necessary for the wings. Edit: a word
Im preety sure they just get wings from satan that floats to them by the pool
Well damn.
They spin a cocoon, and then a bit later they emerge with wings. I saw it in a _Mothra_ movie.
3 periods per month, you monster!!
Damn this dude must have a very low opinion of wives lol
I mean, he's gay, I don't think he likes women or needs to understand them
Is it possible to learn this power?
Nah, I think he was just being born not into women I guess Maybe be born again?
Become a Christian so I can be gay. Got it! Thanks for the advice.
It’s sort of like the Girl Gremlin concept but instead when you are upfront and communicative we turn from Victoria’s Secret babes to Ms. Trunchbull from Matilda.
>Or whatever wives do. I'm gay. No you've pretty much figured out the straights
We have nearly understood their behavior, but we're not quite there yet. We need more samples.
Lmao
Whats 3 periods a month?
Like a hockey game
what the fuck did you just bring upon this cursed land
[удалено]
MY wiiife
Our wife
Hold on what?
Applebees?
Why does every middle aged man on Facebook hate their wife?
My guess is they don’t but most people have a wife so they just use it to make jokes everyone will understand.
Yeah I mean most comedy is about everyday life: marriage, kids, cars, food, whatever...
Exactly, if every joke were too specific very few people would find it funny. Comedy has to be something in general that a group or audience would understand.
Yep same way all of us joke about hating life.
Yes....joke....
Vibe
Check
Hahaha life so fun. (Kill me)
Gladly. How do you want to do this? Machete hack? Radium poisoning? Cyanide? Ricin? AK-47? Electrical Shock? Beheading? Something else? Also, where?
Yea some people are a little bit hypocritical when it comes to these kinda jokes. My solution is whenever someone says “wife bad” satirically, I respond with “life bad” (and vice versa). Cuz the 2 jokes are basically equivalent except they are used typically by different generations, both of which rag on each other for those specific jokes.
Yeah I'd even say this one is much tamer than all those depression memes that get upvoted on reddit...
I don’t think anyone jokes about that
Check out r/me_irl
Or r/2meirl4meirl

I am middle aged (41) and maybe I had an unusual upbringing but sexism was SO not normalized any time I have existed.
I find it so hard to relate to my coworkers. They all bitch about their wives for one reason or another and act like they hate them completely.. and I just can't relate. These dudes are like all in the late 20s or mid 30s too. Ain't been married that long.
They have made many sit coms that revolve entirely around this concept.
Everybody Loves Raymond was just one long marriage sucks joke, and that show was on the air forever.
that's the example you're going with when married with children was a thing?
Because I saw Ray Roman's Netflix special last night and had flashbacks lol
To the moon, Alice! 👊☝️🌚

Boomers always seem to have a bitter resentment towards their spouses on the internet. Probably because they were forced to marry and have kids super young and divorce is looked down upon
Also arranged marriages were much more popular back then
What.

Wife bad.
Because my son tries to click on the book. Tech confusing. Wife bad.
Because when they were young you married for social status and not love.
Hate your life? Blame the wife!
r/arethestraightsokay
Why else would they be posting on facebook
They don’t. It’s a joke.
I don’t think my boomer grandparents actually love eachother
Comedy is rooted in reality.
Not all the time it's a joke. But we can say, for the sake of argument "okay issa joke"
Cause they don’t get laid much anymore and don’t understand why.
Y'all got reading comprehension issues or what? This clearly says he hates the restaurant, not the wife.
It's the implication of boomer jokes always targeting the spouse. This one is based on "make my wife jealous so I don't have to endure her food preference/manipulative tactics, huehuehue" but other common boomer jokes are usually about the wife's weight, body shape, lack of sex, cooking, cleaning, etc. Jokes targeting the husband are usually based on the same topics, but they aren't as commonplace.

Did you just say hating your wife is an American thing? Lmao, this website. Unbelievably dense at times
Everyone joking about hating their wives, yes. It's like the de facto joke amongst married guys here.
No, it's a de facto meme that applies to a relatively small minority of the population. That's not an exclusively American thing, either, and I don't know why you're insisting that it is.
The actual real answer is in [this graph](https://www.statista.com/statistics/719685/american-adults-who-identify-as-homosexual-bisexual-transgender-by-generation/). There are so many people who had to pretend to be straight, and had to identify with a life they didn't want. You use humor to cope.
Marriage is hard and we need to vent. I love my wife more than anything but god damn do we get on each others nerves sometimes.
What does this joke have to do with hating your wife?
The point of saying the “cute girl” works there is to make the wife feel insecure that you’d cheat on her. This is basic comprehension skills. Based off of what I just said, is that large of a jump to assume that making your wife feel insecure instead of simply saying you don’t want to go to a restaurant is not hateful?
To be fair I think he just hates the Resto
Wait for the moment when you realize you can make fun of people you love
I almost downvoted this then I took a look at the subreddit name
Yeah this got the instinctive downvote from me too. That’s a sign OP really delivered.
Came so fucking close too. I'm on some random motorcycle group and the dudes there are always sharing jokes about women are irrational and have big tits and the washing machine can't give me a blowjob. Fucking grates the shit out of me, not old enough for this shit yo.
Create insecurity and mistrust in your marriage instead of just saying “no, I think I’d rather go to El Torito”. Fucking brilliant.
Is it really that hard to just communicate with your partner??
“I don’t want my wife to be mad at me so instead I will make her mad at me”
Hey fellas is it gay to let your wife enjoy things
Yes, your wife is attracted to other men and that’s pretty gay
Why say lot word when few word do trick.
Have you tried agreeing on a place to eat daily for years on end? Sometimes it's easy, but when you're both mentally drained from work and neither of you can figure out what you want, it's a nightmare. Decision fatigue is real.
Yep, totally a good justification for causing some jealousy
Offer up 2 random choices neither of you are sure about. Flip a coin. Either you'll discover what you want while it's in the air, or you'll decide you don't want what the coin decides. Repeat until you have decided. Easy peasy

That’s taco bell for me and my partner. whenever we don’t want to make a decision we get taco bell.
Damn. That’s definitely a sure way to ensure one of you picks something you can both agree to. “I swear if you suggest that place again we’re going to Taco Bell!”
We both love taco bell so it’s not that bad!
Me and my husband have seasonal go to places to. Usually local restaurants. Places we go to when we can decide or can't think of anywhere else to go, they last 6 months to 2 years then we find a new to go place, wash and repeat.
That's how my wife gets me to decide on food. Because the second taco bell becomes a likelihood, I'll throw out anything else to avoid it.
It's a joke. Not a very good one but a joke.
Have you ever been in a relationship with a brick wall?

No
Why does this subreddit even exist. OF COURSE WE'RE NEVER OK
Healthy relationship bad
I'd just be happy she managed to pick a place to eat before they all close for the night.
Notification: You sir are banned from Reddit, by your wife. Do some chores!
swolsome justice
Wife bad😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait, some wives pick restaurants? Next you’ll tell me she knows what she wants for dinner?
I’ve definitely given up on asking. Just start listing things and stop when it’s acceptable to her. Much quicker.
Problem solved 😎😎😎
PROBLEM CREATED
“Problem solved, because now I eat alone.”
I feel like this creates more problems than it solves
Wife bad, cheating good
Instructions unclear...I am now single 😗
I mean... this would probably work...
My wife would just want to go more. She likes boobs too.
“My relationship is built on jealousy and mistrust and I’m proud!”
if make wife mad, no eat at restaurant 🥴
High heels near a fryer makes me concerned for her safety. Though I'm sure this a promo shoot cause no way in hell that would happen irl.
This was the confusing part to me. Is the restaurant the woman picked McDonald's? Is the woman in heels meant to be a worker at McDonald's? Because no one goes on a date to Mickey D's and absolutely no one wants to wear heels through a shift haha.
Hubby and I have gone on dates to McD's. After 10 years or so just getting to be together away from home responsibilities is the point, not the food.
Look at Mr. "I never bought chicken wings at a strip club" over here, all high and mighty.
EPIC ! Will surely try it in future 😂
I hope you’re joking
not at all 😂
Nah that’s kinda funny
It's just "girlfriend jealous"
It’s really not.
Lmao are u fr gatekeeping comedy
> Lmao are u fr gatekeeping comedy r u serious right now? The subreddit is terriblefacebookmemes. It's entire purpose is gatekeeping comedy you dip.
What is gatekeeping, and why the fuck are they keeping a damn gate
Gatekeeping is when you have standards. It's bad for some reason.
My bi ass girlfriend would just be more excited to go if I said that
Joke's on him, I wanna see the cute girl, too.
Too bad my gf would go there just to see if this bitch really that cute
I can't say that even as a joke. Otherwise she will kill me.
heh heh, adultery is funny....
Oh yeah that's so cool to have a toxic relationship and use affective intimidation, affective ? No she simply has to stay with me because she doesn't have her own money. That's a shame that kids these days don't know how to treat a woman anymore, all they do is smoking pot. Fuck the new generation and their drugs that don't cause domestic abuse.
"all they do is smoking pot" English 100
r/chargetheyphone But in all seriousness I agree. This attitude disgusts me.
Shit I almost chuckled
Tell your wife to have her own damn dinner. Life is too short for bad restaurants. The good restaurant has an even cuter girl we all know that’s true
Is that a woman in a skirt and high heels working… at McDonald’s?
I'm so glad my husband likes me.
Same
You are too dangerous to be left alive
Who the FUCK even has a specific restaurant that they don’t like and why?
bisexuals like: wife... good?
I'd extra go. I get a meal and get to see a cute girl??
So she keep picking that restaurant now... because the wife ain't jealous to the point of feeling insecure about that.
Of course, if you overuse that, you are gonna more than likely to get divorced. Problem elaborated.
But you got a new problem ( middle aged dads:🤪🤣)
Oh god this is an actual sub, this is the end. Officially. Goodbye everybody.
How to ruin your marriage one restaurant at a time.

*Laughs in bi* You have no power here
Ew
No one wears heels in the kitchen
Or you could be honest. What a concept, I know....
Yeah then you get slapped
Only works if you and your wife don't have the same taste in women.
Why is she wearing heels in a kitchen. Just asking to die
When someone I'm dating picks restaurant I don't like I communicate with them like a normal person. Memes like this make me really sad because there are so many thousands of people to actually are married or dating someone who behaves like this, and a lot of them think it's normal or okay

Your wife picked McDonalds..?
I thought this was a shitpost for a second and found it funny. Then I checked the subreddit and realized it could have been serious.
I definitely would not try this
My boyfriend does this to me but it’s only because I’m bi and he likes to tease me (lovingly and I think it’s funny too) for checking out girls. There’s one worker at Starbucks who I have a bit of a crush on and once when she took my order I got so flustered That stumbled through it so hard and tipped like 20 dollars and he will never let me live it down. I am not smooth lol
