[@nixthelapin9869]

I think the “no” answer bring flirtatious was a legit thing, but that it may have been due to women not wanting to come off as eager in a society that was stricter for how a woman presents herself (especially to a man). For example, the lyrics in “Baby It’s Cold Outside” comes off as creepy today with our societal context, but when it came out, it was acute flirt, where she has all these “reasons” to leave, but she actually wants to stay, and now she can say later “well, I tried, but I had no choice, how horrible… (yay!)” But that kind of thing isn’t really as common today because society has changed. The reasons a woman might say no are different, and agreeing to a date quickly versus “being hard to get/won over” is more common now because women are more allowed to explore relationships instead of being selective or having to “protect her purity” That’s my theory anyway. But yeah, older people do need to get with the times- when women say no, it’s better to respect her boundary than assume she’s “playing hard to get”

[@Dhorannis]

Well, "Baby It's Cold Outside" also had a part with reversed roles which is played for laughs. I think they already knew that the presented behaviour wasn't that great.

I like your persistence!

[@JohnSmith-lo8cn]

Just go to her father. Dont forget about your tie and a firm handshake.

[@KittyKatty999]

Maybe this stuff is why a lot of marriages seem to be so unhappy, with people only sticking together out of obligation, despite the mutual disdain?

[@blizpix]

Yeah, I think dating strangers is honestly kind of weird, and less likely to have good long-term compatibility. I always only dated within my friend group, or friends of friends, and that worked out well for long term relationships. I've had three long term relationships, including my marriage, which is now almost ten years old. I do think that, and cohabitating before marriage goes a long way towards preventing the unhappiness I see more commonly in older generations' marriages (speaking as a millennial).

[@abcdefghij337]

When you are dating, all the time spent together is about being together. When you are married, a lot of the time spent together is about dealing with life. Gotta fix the house, pay the bills, deal with money and health and relatives and kids. You have to live with annoying habits, either figuring out how to fix them or live with them and not get annoyed. You spend so much more time together, yet it gets harder to make time for just being together.

[@lonestarr1490]

​@@blizpix Dang, last time I had something even remotely resembling a friend group was back at University. And they were all guys because I was studying math... Seems I took some wrong turns in life.

[@singleproppilot]

@@lonestarr1490That’s what I was thinking. “Who has time for friends?”

[@amiable_monster]

Reminds me how both my parents never answered my question of why they decided to get together.

Yeah, in video games maybe 😂

[@TheOneAndOnlyCatfish.]

I like your persistence with the recurring gag. Bravo Vince!

[@jasminelav.332]

Before the 90s, pretty much any nice looking person with a steady job, clean record, and no obvious mental illness was "good enough". And some of those were negotiable.

[@asdf-sr1ny]

Is it not the same anymore ? Just asking out of genuine curiosity lol idk what the dating scene is like

[@Ava_tf]

​@@asdf-sr1ny women these days have unrealistic expectations like someone not treating them like chattel. most men of that era wouldn't be able to cut it anymore. PS: dating isn't that hard these days, just don't be a creep or pushy and do basic self care and hygiene

[@AsiaticNativeCam]

@@Ava_tf You just absolutely contradicted yourself. You admitted women have unrealistic expectations but then say in the same breath that dating isn't hard these days...What an absolute numbskull you are. If you're a woman (judging by your username I'll give you benefit of the doubt and say you are)..Of course women will say it's easy lol....Women live life on tutorial mode...For men dating is near impossible in 2024.

[@MaizeSnallygaster]

I mean, color was also a requirement in the years before interracial marriage was legal. And also they had to be the opposite gender of you and if you were a different religion that might cause some issues with your parents. Nowadays even though marriage between different races and same genders is more socially acceptable, there isn’t the same societal forces preventing you from dating, there are still new issues like an unstable economy and there is a greater division between genders.

[@AsiaticNativeCam]

@@Ava_tf You just contradicted yourself and said women have unrealistic expectations and that dating isn't that hard in 2024. Lol It def is hard though. Maybe you're a girl, idk what gender you are but if you are it would make sense as women are oblivious to the privileges they have including dating

[@kensukefan47]

Women don't even say no to me, they make up a reason to run away from me.

Wow, I really like man’s persistence in appealing to the older woman audience he’s worked so hard to foster

[@urlhnd]

I think this video might be your best one yet, Man Carrying Marriage

[@inkyinkfrfr]

more like man carrying wholesome content

[@Dannymon]

Holy moly man carrying thing is making a big comeback. I had stopped watching a few months ago because i felt the humor had gone too reddity and forced but i just binged the last 10 videos and they're all bangers. Your style of sketch comedy is completely unique and yet is still funny. Props

[@space_1073]

I’m like 80% convinced women though they had to say yes back in the day with how successful creeps were 😂

[@dusanstojsin4938]

I'm pretty sure it had something to do with women not being able to work and barely having any rights, so they just had to get married to whatever man had a house and had a decent job so he could provide for her and their future family, no matter how fat, short or creepy the guy was.

[@birdieboy02]

yesterday i approached a woman on the street. i didn’t say anything and eventually walked past her, but for a few seconds i was approaching her

[@_ikako_]

i met a guy on reddit and he tried to use a pickup line on me but i didn't realise he was flirting with me and thought he was asking a legitimate question and now we're talking about how cruel the world is that a guy and a girl who like each other have to live across the pond from each other...

[@ferreira991]

Your comment sounds like that Pixies' song Letter to Memphis.

[@boogerparty]

If I had a dollar for every piece of unhelpful dating advice people have given me, I could fund a research project to build an interdimensional portal into an alternate reality where women find guys with depression and social anxiety irresistibly attractive.

[@elseggs6504]

Youre overthinking this. A dollar for every piece of unhelpful advice would earn you enough to be considered attractive

[@nardopol0]

My dad told me he was dating another woman while dating my mom. He had also already been divorced before this

[@MoskalMedia]

Man Carrying Impressive Editing And Camera Techniques!

[@raynightshade8317]

A fair amount of woman like to be chased to see if a guy is committed to her. Thats not allowed anymore

[@Dhorannis]

Because a no should be a clear signal. And even a woman who likes to be chased only wants to be chased by certain people. Most times, a no will actually mean no.

[@BagelBoy97]

Funny how the older generation basically describe SA and harassment as something to aspire to, while complaining about modern day culture and it’s vulgarity

[@Tyler-ob4qp]

Got with my girlfriend because we ran into each other at an Exam and she proceeded to stalk my instagram before reaching out. Thankfully I'm a dude so thats flattering rather than creepy

[@Melechtna]

No, it's still creepy

[@jessicastjames6202]

How is looking at someone's social media creepy? If you don't want people looking at your posts then don't make then public. You don't get to have it both ways.

[@ballzetr4652]

​@@jessicastjames6202right? What's the point of using social media if not to put yourself out there more easily, imagine a singer thinking strangers are creepy for listening to it's songs

[@YawgmothWasRight]

I didn't expect the persistence to come back Uh sorry I mean errrrrrr "Man Carrying [video topic]"

[@CintiaJigs]

This deserves so much more attention!

[@Somemessdude]

They’ll agree - if you make a fool of yourself - let them mock you for a laugh - turn u into a meme - and still end up not getting the pie

[@dimitrijekulak3347]

How people think Man is carrying Things in 2024

[@Modie]

Sometimes, you ask yourself, how your parents even got together in the first place. It feels like everything before my birth was a big RomCom.

[@noahsabin7386]

RomComs make a lot more sense when you realize that most of them were written and greenlit by guys like Harvey Weinstein.
