    This AI slop is so dumb too

    • left guy is breaking past his keyboard
    • right guy has his message read one minute after he told them to arrive, meaning he was left on read until the literal last second

    Like even in their dream scenario, they’re unread? Lmao

    why would she be reading the text one minute after it told her to be there? Doesn’t that speak even worse for the alpha male?

    Lol the attempt to show a fast read actually made it look like the text wasn’t read until after the meeting time had passed.

      I still don’t get how it isn’t a gay hookup. How are you supposed to read it?

        I guess we’re supposed to look at the guy on the left and instead of thinking “He is in distress,” we’re supposed to think, “He is unfuckable.” And we’re supposed to look at the guy on the right and instead of thinking, “He is going to fuck that other guy,” we’re supposed to think, “He is so fuckable.”

        I think it’s gay either way you look at it.

          It’s confusing af by the way they are facing each other. That is usually meant to communicate “they’re talking with one another”. The Internet is weird.

            It’s not the internet in this case, it’s AI. It’s shit at comic composition. Even something as simple as where a person is looking can very quickly give it away that it’s AI generated.

              That’s true. This is one of the AI effects I hadn’t considered. OP made and then posted this image thinking it communicates what they wrote for a prompt. But basically everyone itt is confused about what it means. If someone made this comic from scratch they likely wouldn’t have had the characters face each other because it’s definitely part of why it’s confusing. I guess I’m just getting at there’s something like confirmation bias at play. OP was expecting the result to mean one thing, so they saw it. People without that bias mostly didn’t see it.

    Yeah, the second I see anyone trying to make a point by using AIGen images, there point is already invalid in my mind.

    They don’t even have the gall to use random non-AI stock images or even better, use shitty hand drawn images.

    Either way, I can’t give this an upvote, morally, but it is kinda funny, though.

      Apologizing about stuff you don’t need to can be a pretty tiring and unassertive trait. Like in the pic apologizing for asking about a date. Then again, the chad way on the right seems like it would just get a “who dis” reply

      My ex, well if you can even call it that, dumped me because I apparently apologize too much and “apologies are useless and just show that you lack confidence”.

      So, according to her, yes.

        I will say that apologies without the intent to change behavior suck. They’re there to politely admit that you recognize you made a mistake, and that you’re going to try to not repeat it. If you don’t have the last part then it’s useless. However, with the last part, they’re one of the things that take the most strength for a person to do.

        I’m in a relationship with a person who apologizes dozens of times a day for stuff that absolutely doesn’t require an apology.

        Basically all that it’s done is make their apologies meaningless.

        And at a certain point it comes off as attention seeking behavior, because it feels like it’s about garnering sympathy instead of actually caring about my feelings.

          That is often caused by abuse earlier in their life that forms a habit which is hard to break. Frequently being blamed for things they may or may not have done and being forced to apologize becomes a habit, or trying to deflect because they are worried that the other person might be upset when things don’t go perfectly can be hard to stop doing.

          It does come across as attention seeking.

        If this was the reason they broke it off, then they did you a favour. A worthwhile relationship wouldn’t end over something so small. Better to move onto more mature partners

          If you send me $45.50 a month, I’ll send you a pair of my musky socks to huff and absorb my masculinity once a week. For another $10, I’ll also send you a supplement pack that’ll help you feel like a real man again. (It’s caffeine, ibuprofen, Mucinex and an secret ingredient that’s legally different from tums).

    In my experience the guy on the left gets a loving wife who understands and respects him. The guy on the right gets a bunch of random sex, often only once per woman, and either goes to prison for how he treats them, or has a bunch of divorces. Also nowadays there is a 50/50 chance his pickup is in the same price range as his house.

      For what it’s worth, the AI is being used by a lame “alpha bro” account that is being mocked in the meme.

      Unrelated, but also worth pointing out to people scrolling by that generally if you know someone wants to hang out you wouldn’t start with an apology. So the guy is likely apologizing because he’s aware his advances are unwanted but is doing it anyway. The second guy is unlikely to get any traction with people he doesn’t already know, and is exemplary as the kind of low effort garbage women complain about on dating apps, or communicating with someone he already has a preexisting relationship with who would already have his address.

      I also read it as two gay guys texting each other at first.

        Plenty of people lack confidence or have an anxiety disorder, so would be predisposed to assuming that hanging out with them was a burden without any grounds to think so, and potentially feel like they need to include an apology in any invitation. It’s obviously not healthy, but it doesn’t mean that they’re right and that the advances are unwanted.

          I said “likely”, as I realize that’s not always the case, but in my experience social anxiety is more likely to manifest in “I totally understand if not” than starting out with an apology in this context. That’s just my experience, but starting with an apology is often “nice guy” behavior, which makes sense because a lot of the “alpha” accounts are actually appealing to “nice guys” and not just guys who are nice that happen to have social anxiety.
