Meinmyownhead502

I donā€™t think she understands what an actual incel is.


Organic_Muffin280

Someone who exposes her narcissistic and unfair double standards obviously and uses her own logic back at her... .


miesepetrige_Gurke

Ok, incel


Fit_Leg_2115

And here I thought it was incel since she had to insert it in every sentence, even tho she was the one being rejected šŸ¤”

In more ways than one.


CGis4Me

She clearly didnā€™t look up ā€œincel.ā€


Lieke1995

She ignored your lotr question completely, how rude

Asking for reciprocation: "We be's nice to them if they be's nice to us"


TequilaTommo

Exactly - her priority over normal conversation was to judge his height. Only then to be judged and not understand the hypocrisy. People like this need therapy, but her friends will tell her she's somehow in the right.


Devoidofimagination

Red flag there


AGP_11

ignoring the lotr question was a red flag


Salamanber

Her tone is messed up, and also ā€˜dudeā€™


ctothel

I'm not sure "involuntary celibate" is the correct term for someone who voluntarily turns you down. It reminds me of guys who get rejected and say "you're ugly"... so why were you hitting on her? People need to deal with rejection a little more cleanly.


meeseekstodie137

"you're ugly anyways" is a form of self-soothing, if they can bring down their target it makes themselves feel better (or superior) and takes a bit of the sting out of the rejection, they're basically telling themselves "it's okay buddy she wasn't worth it anyways" but because fight or flight is always dialed to "fight" for narcissists it comes out in the form of an insult


ctothel

Ooh good point, I hadn't thought about it like that. The incel comment makes more sense then. She's claiming the agency and making out as if she rejected him. It's like "you can't fire me because I quit!"


CasedUfa

I think its more than that, not only does she not like him and never did, no-one else would either, she has rejected him on behalf of all women.


Wolff_Hound

The old "Sour grapes" Aesop, as old as a time itself.


Drake_Acheron

HomeGrownCoffee

A common misconception. It's only a fable if it comes from the Fable region of Denmark. Otherwise it's sparkling Aesop.


RealKumaGenki

That fable is not as old as time itself. The whole sentence is a wash.


lastofdovas

That's same with the "incel" here. She got butthurt...


nurgleondeez

Idk man,if I get turned down by someone I'll just gaslight myself into thinking they're a 10/10 and they were out of my league anyway lmao


JonsonLittle

You're kind of right. I think is a reaction to feeling under attack, and so the superiority thing come up where it more like "i gave you a chance that's all, so don't you think that my attention is in anyway a validation of your worth".


lookingForPatchie

Like many other terms the meaning has changed over time. At this point "incel" is just a generic insult.


lonegrey

... next up ... "ok boomer incel"


SurveyThrowaway97

"Oh, you made an argument I can't respond to? Well...you are an incel and live in your mom's basement. Take that!"Ā 


chandlerr85

TIL that incel is a portmanteau of involuntary celibate


lookingForPatchie

TIL of the existence of the word "portmanteau"


Due-Adhesiveness1355

I think she is the incel here


OsakaShiroKuma

"Incel" is just the 21st century version of "hur hur hur I bet you're a virgin."


FourEaredFox

At this point "incel" is one of those words that has little to no meaning anymore.


lunchpadmcfat

They are like unmanned hoses with rejection. Just spraying vitriol with abandon. You might as well ask bacteria to have manners.


iamnotdean

This is the most elegantly worded insult I've seen today


UnderpootedTampion

"Those grapes were probably sour"... it's an old, old story.


SpinachDonut_21

I remember a girl liked me in high school, and she actually asked me out. I just politely told her I didn't like her back and didn't even know her. Apparently I was a massive jerk for that just because she was pretty?? I'm not saying she wasn't enough for me, just I didn't like her, and that's all. We all have different taste


FinndBors

What's wrong with her back?


Purple_Charcoal

She had so much hair on it, Jack Sparrow couldā€™ve escaped a desert island.

ramborage

My personal favorite is when you donā€™t reciprocate a womanā€™s interest and they proceed to ask you if youā€™re gay. As if the concept of any straight man on the planet not being interested in them is ridiculous. Iā€™ve experienced this a few times and itā€™s so cringey.


Sufficient_Bass2600

When I was 20 years old a girl asked me out and I rejected her because I had a girlfriend. She did not took it well and started to insinuate that I must be gay. She even had the audacity to ask my girlfriend if we were both gay and our relationship a pretend sham for our families. My girlfriend was a skinny tomboy with a pixie cut and she was hit by many lesbians. Because surely her being the prettier girl (her opinion as in my view she definitely was not) if I was a real man I would have ditch my flat chested girlfriend for a girl with real curves (she definitely had a bigger rack). So the fact that I rejected her was suspect. Funny bit was she then asked two other students who were not yet out. After that she was known at Uni as the girl who turn men gay. So toxic men would rather sleep with men than her.


King_Fluffaluff

I'm sorry so many lesbians hit her. I'm sure that must have been hard!


WillBeBetter2023

I love the idea of many lesbians hitting York girls friend because she had a pixie cut.


TableNo5200

ā€œNot at the moment, but if youā€™re my only option, then I may have to consider itā€.


SadisticBuddhist

My ex, who took my virginity, lost her mind when I broke up with her. I was barely 15, she was 18. She had her friends threaten to beat me up for being gay and would text me from various numbers calling me a ā€œf***otā€ I reported her to the school, with proof of the texts, as well as the people who threatened me for her. Nothing ever came of it. A year later, a girl made up a story about me r**ing her with no evidence and I was told never to speak to her again, and that I was lucky she wasnt pressing charges. That was around the time I learned that women are as much horrible monsters as men, the only difference is they almost never get held accountable for it.


Faustus_Fan

I AM gay and had a woman tell me I wasn't when I rejected her. She hit on me and asked me to go back to her place. I told her I was gay and not interested. Her response was "bullshit, you're just ashamed of your tiny dick." For narcissists like that, no reason will ever be accepted.


Fatalaros

Or dick shaming.


NicNac_PattyMac

A lot of women do not handle rejection well at all.


Freecz

A lot of people don't handle rejection well at all.


Agyaggalamb

The point is men are more used to it as we are expected to initiate.


NicNac_PattyMac

Yes, but no one is arguing that there arenā€™t men that donā€™t, where as a woman handling rejection poorly is the victim in most peopleā€™s eyes.


XxRocky88xX

Both genders have the ability to be toxic assholes. However, only one genders toxic traits are shamed while the others are often celebrated.


MOTUkraken

This is the difference. Well put.


lookingForPatchie

Women just get away with emotional excuses. That's it. Men know that noone will give a fuck about their emotions, because they are solely judged by their actions.


Akarin_rose

Well it goes back to this https://youtu.be/ioSI3KsE2_k?si=yKo2g2T40sn-Ync9


Wallys_Wild_West

Clearly Donald Glover doesn't spend much time on social media because you don't have to go far to find women that claim every guy they dated was the spawn of Satan.


FanDorph

That's why I play the long game get rejected as much as possible.


Zeratul_Artanis

it wasn't an absolute statement.


FartyMcgoo912

My high school had this dance called the "turnabout" where girls were supposed to ask guys to the dance. They would often make asking a guy to the dance a public spectacle. but what made it suck was that any guy who said "no" was immediately condemned as being a cruel jerk by all the other girls, and it would have lasting damage on his reputation. few people cared if a girl rejected a guy. i saw it happen plenty of times. there was no outrage. so what would end up happening is that if a guy was asked to a dance by a girl he wasnt interested in, he would say "yes" and then just ghost her after.


XxRocky88xX

Went through multiple of the same experiences in high school. Funny how when a man asks out a woman, sheā€™s free to say now and the man has an obligation to respect that. Not respecting that makes him an asshole and a creep. But if a woman asks out a man, he has an obligation to say yes. And he if he doesnā€™t say yes heā€™s an asshole.


spooktaculartinygoat

Nah. Any person who doesn't respect rejection is deemed an asshole. Look at this thread-- everyone agrees that this woman is a massive (well, short) asshole. This type of jerkiness is pretty clear cut. I think there is an argument to be made about placating people though. Men might be pressured to say yes for the reason you described. And women would be pressured to say yes out of fear.


Claystead

Happened to me in college, got passive aggressive messages for like a year after.


Late-Improvement8175

Men are prohibited from rejecting women apparently

Arakkoa_

"Incel" has unfortunately become the insult of choice for women to use against any men they dislike. Soon it will lose all meaning and will become just "dick". And the real incels will get buried in that and feel vindicated about their shittiness.


jeezyall

Also the ā€œjust tell me you have a small dickā€ is just like girl wtf???


ludior

body-shaming is only okay when a girl does it to a guy in society


QuelThas

Bro she blocked me for saying being overweight is unhealthy. BTW she made a post about cheating on her husband. If she is even married (doubt). Average reddit femcel, or whatever word you use to insult narcissistic human beings. On top of that all the comments were deleted, figure out the clear bias by yourself...


FlamingoPretty

She cant cope with not being wanted i guess \*shrug\*


Due-Adhesiveness1355

Literally being rejected for being undesirable


Basic-Literature-849

I think women are so used to men being easy or just big horny animals (no offense to men out there, itā€™s just kinda a modern cultural thing weā€™ve been raised to expect, but we donā€™t all think that), so when a man has actual standards and preferences, they have no idea what to do. She definitely thinks sheā€™s the standard lmao. Also, coming from a 5ā€™11ā€ woman ā€” why does a 5ā€™1ā€ woman need a man whoā€™s 6ā€™+? I will absolutely never understand that. Short men like me more than tall men.


ClassicExamination82

I'm still stuck on the 6'3" being the perfect height for a man thing. I mean, there's nothing wrong with men who are that tall, but its still stuckout as a weird statement to me.


LaserGuidedSock

She just wants to climb him like a treehouse It's a fetish we'll never understand


lookingForPatchie

>Is a man truly a man, if he cannot yeet his woman straight into the stratosphere? -Albert Einstein, 1224 AD


Basic-Literature-849

Iā€™ve had short men tell me they want to ā€œclimb me like a treeā€ so yeahā€¦can confirm.


Basic-Literature-849

The average height for a man in America is 5ā€™10ā€, so I really am not sure where sheā€™s getting that ā€œperfect heightā€ thing from šŸ˜­ Like statistically youā€™re limiting your options.


Gmageofhills

I say this as a 5 foot 9 ish man, but honestly, I think that people in general underestimate how tall 6 feet actually is. Most 5 ft 10 people I know cam be mistaken for 6 ft, especially since, like the op post, woman are much shorter overall so in real life the guy doesn't have to ve 6 ft tall, but on apps that height difference doesn't really register


Basic-Literature-849

Absolutely! If women saw a guy who was actually 6ā€™, heā€™d probably look like 6ā€™4 to them lol.


SilatGuy2

I dont think most people even have a good reference for height to begin with. Some people think im 6,3 others ive been close with dont even realize im 6 foot and assume im shorter than that.


Basic-Literature-849

Iā€™m barely 5ā€™11ā€ and so many people think Iā€™m like 6ā€™2 at least lol. This is SO true.


Bored_Dad_Scrolling

Worked with a girl once who all our customers swore she was like 6ā€™1/6ā€™2, because they were 6ā€™. Finally measured her one day at work and she was 5ā€™9.5


Mysterious-Floor-909

Well, 5'10" is average, surely she deserves better. She deserves no less than perfect.


Basic-Literature-849

She sure does, being so small and petite.


duckyflute

"I was the smallest, petitest girl in NYC" reads like Wattpad.


Basic-Literature-849

I bet she threw her medium brown hair into a messy ponytail and put on a band tee.


mmaguy123

The concept of your head being a few inches above the ground making you a better person is questionable


sjokkendesjaak

I'm 6'4 and I can confirm I'm the best person ever my head is so high people keep telling me it's up in the coulds although recently they are also saying it's up my own ass idk what that's about


Mysterious-Floor-909

Sure it is. It is also a questionable thing to have as a deciding factor when looking for a partner.


Thiasur

5'9 is actually average in USA.


maevriika

Probably a good thing for all the men below 6'3" that she doesn't think they're good enough because she doesn't like the distance between their toes and their nose. Saves them having to deal with such a shallow person.


realxanadan

Someone with that ego thinks she can get anyone she wants so "options" is never really something they think about.


BubblyDemi_af

14.5% of men being 6'0 and above but not even taking account any other preferences that will lower that even further like sexuality, Body type, weight, dick size, financial status, personality, etc like they're shooting themselves in the foot and that's coming from a 6'1 guy.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Juxtapoe

I think it's pretty clear from the conversation that he wasn't into her because she didn't geek out with him over LotR. She ignored his personality-revealing question and jumped to probing him on a shallow physical trait. He was just verbally rejecting her on terms he thought she would understand.


coupl4nd

Basic-Literature-849

Tsugirai

For a lot of people, a partner is more of a status symbol than an actual partner in life.


ghostofwinter88

I'm 5'11, my wife is 4'10. The height difference can be logistically challenging.


Ankoku_Teion

I'm 6'11". There's fully a 2ft height difference between me and your wife, lol. I'd have to kneel down to kiss a woman that short.


exoticsamsquanch

Go on


Kickfinity12345

People like her are the reasons men actually turn into incels or reinforces their misogyny. Iā€™ve been on incel forums and I see a lot of posts that has screenshots of conversations with women who are looking for ā€chadā€ standards.


Basic-Literature-849

Absolutely! I will never victim blame, but there is a lot of accountability that needs to be taken by women who treat men this way and then are surprised when they retaliate. It doesnā€™t mean theyā€™re right to retaliate, but thereā€™s unacceptable behavior on both sides.

Alternative-Dare5878

Well thatā€™s just a femcel, and theyā€™re on tinder, so you already came out on top before the conversation started.


mutantraniE

The term incel was created by a woman to describe herself, itā€™s perfectly fine to use it for women without appending a fem-tag.


Pastrami-on-Rye

Incel = involuntarily celibate Femcel = femur celerity (and can be quite lethal when used to attack the cranium) The fem-tag is absolutely unnecessary and quite misleading, as you can see!


Carnilinguist

I had an older woman who was trying to date me call me an incel because I have a younger girlfriend. I think the meaning of the word is lost on many people who use it.


mutantraniE

Itā€™s absolutely lost all meaning. Itā€™s gone from a unisex term for people with trouble finding a partner to a term used for men with bad social skills who have trouble finding a partner to meaning misogynist men who have trouble finding a partner and maybe have given up on it to a term used for men with differing political opinions to finally the current form of ā€œman who said something I donā€™t likeā€.

This is the exact same as one that was posted just the other day, the whole 'the audacity', him being 6 foot 3, all of it.
