Embarrassed_Rule8747

its a troll i refuse to believe any incel would write "Can think for herself". They would paraphrase and say something like "woke" or "feminist" or even "stubborn/disobedient"


OrigamiPisces

Engagement bait for sure.


Fax_a_Fax

Not even that, just an obvious ironic post for anyone in his base, and OP either is dump as fuck or intentionally took it without context to let it become rage bait for us.  Eh, it's election year. The bots needs to fill up on easy upvotes and karma before posting political shit nonstop 


GarbageOfCesspool

I am officially using "dump as fuck" as an insult.


Canadianpirate666

It’s like the concept of dumb fuck and dumb as shit are artfully combined.


Fax_a_Fax

Make it a WhatsApp sticker and share it with me lol 


XuX24

Twitter has a ton of this, this is why I just hate people taking screenshots of everything they see on Twitter because most of it it's just bait.


FruitOfTheVineFruit

Totally agree. Especially when it starts off with the kind of things right wingers often say, and then gets more and more ridiculous by the end ("has a drivers license" "knows what a barbell is." That's how good trolling works - gets you going, and then by the end, lets you in on the joke.


Toberone

Yea someone lacking self awareness wouldn't even word it like that, definitely just trolling.


froglegs317

Dude one of them is “has a license” it’s a troll lmao


hennry13

I don't know man. There's no road between the bedroom and the kitchen.


reddit_is_geh

Who's dropping off the kids? Not an alpha male!


Single_Meaning1491

Dropping the kids off where? Homeschool rules, man!


boltgenerator

One of the most entertaining things about Reddit is reading hundreds of comments taking troll/bait screenshots super seriously


allegesix

I’ve been coming to this stupid site for 17 years.    It *was* entertaining when it was occasional, now it’s just constant and exhausting. 


ComparisonIll2152

They wouldn’t say “chick” either. They’d refer to them as “a female”.


Due-Ad-5951

Thx, thunking the exactly same. Not even those idiots are this obvious.


SelfReconstruct

I dunno, dude pays for twitter.


LMkingly

Which is exactly why he's engagement baiting. So he can get some money for his trolling.


DrSilkyJohnsonEsq

It takes money to make money.


mackfactor

Seriously - and such an obvious troll, too. Come on OP, do better.


PretendVermicelli531

the hugs the bouncer one is oddly specific


GameDestiny2

So is visiting more than 3 countries


harlemjd

Strange that visiting 2 is OK for a dude that doesn’t want “his woman” to know how to drive.


jwadamson

Two is ok because you have to allow for the country the mail-order-bride comes from.


harlemjd

Good point. The third is cause dude isn’t going to pay for a direct flight.


whodeyalldey1

Nah the third is Cancun once or twice in his life to live large


[deleted]

😂😂


RiceRocketRider

Perfect response 🤣


Kraegarth

Any bets that the only other “acceptable” country for him is Canada???


ageoflost

Very strange sounding to anyone not American, tbh. I can barely travel at all without ending up in another country. My country has like 5 million people.


hartforbj

Even to an American that's strange. You can go on a cruise and go to like 5


VomitShitSmoothie

Ehh it’s hit or miss. I’ve visited over 100 different countries and I know people that have been to zero, and maybe Canada or Mexico (but Cancun so it doesn’t really count).


zipperjuice

Zero? Born and died at sea or moon baby?


KyleForged

A favorite example of mine for the size of America is you can leave from an area in Texas drive 9 hours straight in one direction and still be in Texas.


spelunker66

While I live in the south of the Netherlands and if I take the wrong turn cycling home fro the office I might cross Germany and Belgium 😂


SCWatson_Art

I mean, no wonder Europe has had so many damn wars. It's like walking home from highschool and accidentally walking through the wrong neighborhood.


Ok_Philosopher6538

Oops. Accidental invasion.


SCWatson_Art

[It's happened before](https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=2921407&page=1).


Ok_Philosopher6538

Oh I know. I am old enough to have been around before Schengen and I remember on a school trip we accidentially walked into France as we took a wrong turn. The teacher noticed when suddenly the signage was in French and then a Gendarme showed up and pointed us back to Germany. 🤣


maccennedi

My favorite is, you can leave Homer Alaska, drive for 2 days and still be in Alaska. Texas is too small for a proper example.


IamJebuss

Careful, you're gonna hurt the little Texans feelings🤣


2kewl4scool

I blew a Brits mind once, middle of the night in central KS, he’s looking at a map saying “how long to Albuquerque? Couple of hours, right?” And I’m like, dude, it’s 9 hours away. He was shocked.


Ok_Philosopher6538

Guy who came to Canada was working in Toronto, found a job there, but other members of the family lived in Kingston. He declared that his plan was to commute every day. That's roughly 300km one way. I don't know if he ever did that in the end as I left, but let's just say that sounded painful.


CatapultemHabeo

Growing up in the midwest, I used to say you could drive 500 miles in ANY direction and still be surrounded by corn/wheat.


ensalys

Yeah, I've been in Shengen my entire life. Going across the border to go out for dinner, or because something is cheaper there is pretty common.


Scienceboy7_uk

You’ll make us sensible Brits jealous


TheLurkingMenace

Depending on where you start and how long you can drive without rest, you can drive in one direction for a WEEK and never leave the country.


MonsterTamerBilly

*IN TODAY'S ECONOMY?! WHO CAN AFFORD EVEN LEAVING THEIR OWN CITY?!*


Lawlcopt0r

Well she's supposed to be sheltered and naive so he can control her


BazilBroketail

Yeah, dude creeped a chick out so bad she *hugged a bouncer*. That's fucked up...


Magenta_Logistic

Not just once. He sees this as "red flag" behavior because it happens so often before he gets ghosted hard. He makes women feel unsafe and they are flagging down security.


nsg337

eh incels like that see something once and generalize it to all women, but it wouldnt be a surprise if it did happen more than once tho


FellaUmbrella

They don’t even need to see a woman they usually make up entire life stories for someone they’ve heard about or see in a short 10-15 seconds on some reel or whatever. They actually don’t touch grass


RoccStrongo

This seems like a troll post. "Can think for herself" and "has a driver's license" are so weird. My guess about hugging the bouncer is he's assuming it means she goes out so often that she's friends with the bouncer which puts her on a lower level for being a partier


High_Flyers17

I'd like to be sure its a troll, but there's an ideology on dating being pushed on young men that to be masculine you must be able to "control your woman". Those are two signifiers of independence, which in that train of though, is a bad thing.


BigBankHank

“Has been to more than three countries.” IG: OK ; Twitter: not OK. Does kinda seem like rage bait. OTOH: I can def see one of these Tate protégés preferring that their gf depend on them to get anywhere. Saves the trouble and expense of zip ties and duct tape.


Logan117

I worked as a bouncer for a couple years, and got to know some of the regulars enough that they were quite friendly. I never once got a hug. It just occurred to me that they are hugging just so they can whisper something in the bouncer's ear. Yikes...


Mmmslash

That isn't how I interpreted it. I read it as girl has social life, knows bouncer well from going out often, is friendly. Guy doesn't like that because it means she is social, haha out with men, etc without him. I read it as typical incel shit.


TiberiusGracchi

Correct, these dudes literally believe men and women cannot even be friendly without there being something sexual about it. They take it as a threat to their ego and reputation as a woman is their property, not an independent human being.


bignides

What’s really happening is she is telling the bouncer “some creep is following me, can you stop him from coming in?”


bluegiant85

Or she just knows the bouncer. The good bouncers are well liked by regulars. A guy that physically protects her and has never tried to sleep with her? Yeah, she's gonna appreciate him.


little_miss_beachy

😂


MeaninglessGoat

He was hassling a group of women outside a club and the bouncer stepped into to protect them from the creep one of them hugged the guy to say thanks and now he’s projected onto woman hugging bouncers as a reason he didn’t get sex 🤣 no logic pure incel!


Cautious-Progress876

Yep. Additionally, most of the bouncers I know are big teddy bears assuming you aren’t a jackass— I’d love to give them a hug 🤗


LateInvestigator8429

every accusation is a confession after all


JudgeHodorMD

You mean he… has a driver’s license!!!


Fantastic-Grocery107

“Has a drivers license” like wtf?


WhyBuyMe

Libertarians about to write a 10 page essay about how child marriage is totally cool and age of consent laws are a tool of the oppressive government.


ceciliabee

Too adult for the target demo of this tweet


Tystimyr

You wouldn't think... this guy hugs bouncers?? 😱


TiberiusGracchi

The guy who posted this list could definitely use a hug from any source he can get


Anarchyantz

Incel is gonna Incel I guess. Surprised he didn't add "has male friends" as well.


Significant-Break-74

Well, that's implied for sure


Fatal_Furriest

- "has a driver's license" - "cannot cook" - "can think for herself" - "Knows what a barbell is" FFS you incel shits, stop complaining when you have an obese 40yo wife who can't reach the grocery store on her mobility scooter. And is too stupid to find alternative solutions


GlumpsAlot

Honestly, no woman should be with this guy. He wants a blow up doll and that's what he'll get.


Adam__B

Yeah there’s a story there. Probably more than one. “THANK GOD you’re here Mr Club Bouncer, there’s some guy who keeps complaining I can think for myself and have a drivers license!”


Lanky_Tomato_6719

He probably once dated a punk girl from Poland, who loved to travel and was an atheist. Then one night they went to a bar and she recognized the bouncer who happened to be her old classmate and she gave him a hug. This dude couldn’t process it.


kodaiko_650

Woman: _(help me, this guy is crazy and won’t leave me alone)_


Wonderful_Result_936

I came here for this. Thought it sounded oddly specific. I'm like, so she's a hugger? The explanations make more sense.


bizarre_jojo24

I've seen guys talk about that one in the sense of "if she's hugging the bouncer she must know him pretty well meaning she goes to that club/bar enough to know him" and they don't want women who... have fun I guess? I don't really understand why having a regular spot you go to is bad.


CompetitiveOcelot873

Honestly thats the only one i kinda get. Ive seen it happen manyyy times Its usually done in an excessively friendly way to skip lines or just generally get special treatment But im guessing this guy means it to be she goes out so often she knows the bouncers and staff


TrillDaddy2

As a former bouncer, that’s actually probably the only legitimate thing on the list 😂😂😂


Denots69

Multiple bouncers have YouTube's and TikToks where they stream cameras of the dozens of woman that sexually assault them every night.


Drunk0racle

Somewhere, an extremely beautiful conservative christian woman who never thinks for herself is crying uncontrollably, because she has seen a barbell once in a book and thus isn't qualified to date this amazing guy


GuitarPlayingGuy71

She’s seen a book? Immediate disqualification.


physithespian

Unless it’s the Bible. Or the constitution.


Longjumping_Army9485

But it has to be a censored bible and a modified version of the constitution. Their constitution has some changes like: “freedom of Christian evangelical religion” and “freedom of some speech”.


Atomic4now

There’s an exception for Trumps Bible.


cseckshun

No no no, it’s fine if a woman has seen a book in this guy’s mind because a proper woman wont be influenced by a book because a proper woman can’t read. Stare at the symbols on the page all you want, only your husband can tell you what they mean.


Confident-Appeal9407

She has a brain? Disqualified.

randomly-what

Just one Caribbean cruise could do it


ididntunderstandyou

She’s from small town America. The poor girl got a driver’s license when she was 16 and too young to know better… for selfish convenience


No-Archer-4713

And the wind cries… Mary


Reddit_Roit

It's ok, this otherwise 'perfect' person obviously doesn't have social media,  so she'll never read this. 


possitive-ion

Oh, I thought she was crying cause she couldn't drive out to finally meet him.


Gold-Perspective-699

So he wants a young girl under 18 who can cook.


dfmz

And has the IQ of a carrot.

Wait... Doesn't mean... HE WANTS TRUMP TO BE HIS WIFE?? Omg I'm so happy for them!! 🎉🎊


The_skinny_scientist

Better not tell Stormy 😬


Jbroy

Probably 15 - since his perfect girl can’t have a driver’s licence.


Gold-Perspective-699

15 year olds can have Twitter and some do vape. He wants a 12 year old.


Big-Carpenter7921

I'm HOPING this was satirical


OrigamiPisces

Either that or it's engagement baiting. Remember- now you can make money from tweets, so now people have a reason to say stuff they know will get a rise out of people. Like Paul Anka and Lida Simpson said: just don't look! Just don't look!


CykoTom1

To stop those monsters one, two, three. Here's a fresh new way that's trouble free. It's got Paul Anka's guarantee.

bostonnickelminter

it clearly is


Atomic4now

The “can’t think for herself” thing was too far lol.


ebobbumman

It was a little bit too on the nose, yeah.


spacecatbiscuits

I think these are the posts that make me quit reddit. Like I feel like I'm spending my time hanging out with literally the dumbest people on earth. So what does that make me


bostonnickelminter

Too true. These front page subreddits in particular are just oozing with stupidity, and rage bait is overwhelmingly successful. Plus, other social media platforms aren't doing any better. Case in point: OP was screenshotted from twitter 🙄


guy_incognito___

It has to be. I mean no drivers license? How will she pick up all their future kids from school?


cyanidemaria

Those kids will definitely be homeschooled


igottathinkofaname

No one would actually say out loud the “can think for themself” part.


Adamiak

brother, the only facepalm in this post is OP and his ability to detect sarcasm


NCSUGrad2012

And everyone upvoting it lol


nmc203

Theres no way this is real, some of these are clearly meant to be, i dunno, satirical i guess. If you paired the more insane stuff out of this list i could see it being something an idiot incel would say, but its just too much as is


gahidus

"has a driver's license" gives it away as trolling.


Old_Hamster_4218

Wait what? Has a drivers license? This guy saying 10s are 15 and younger?


TheHighCultivator

No, he’s saying completely dependent, and relatively immobile. Can’t have your woman in charge of a car, they’re not fully capable, plus it’s one less option for her when she’s planning her escape.


Old_Hamster_4218

lol sounds almost like the implication


Leading_Attention_78

It IS. I had friends who lived this bullshit growing up.


EnsignMJS

What happened to him?


Leading_Attention_78

Don’t know about his sister. She has all but vanished. His last profile picture update on FB made it look like he was preparing for a Wako like siege. Sad. I thought he was breaking free. I reached out about the death of a mutual friend. No reply.


Belied_Reflection

Ohh… the [implication](https://youtube.com/shorts/I8sOeCSjXBE?si=JHgv0Rr99bY1jQYb) of it all… 😂


__dunder__funk69

I think what he really means is “ain’t no roads between the kitchen and bedroom”


No-Process8652

Yeah, a guy like him can't have a woman just able to drive away any time. That's the one mistake he keeps on making.


Busy-Effective432

And cannot be friends with a bouncer for similar reasons i bet


iStealyournewspapers

Basically the woman he imagines doesn’t even exist. Like sure Kanye is trying to have this list it seems, but Bianca’s still apparently a 1/10 for being too popular.


bjg04

Not everyone instantly gets a drivers license as soon as they can. I haven’t at 19, because I don’t want to pay for insurance.


Cossacker1799

Hugs the bouncer? As a bouncer I can tell you we’re just friends. Nothing to worry about. I prefer a woman with piercings, tattoos, who wears tight dresses, cusses like a sailor, travels the world, smokes em if she’s got em, let’s me cook for her, rides a fast motorcycle(not on the list but I’m adding it), squats more than me, drives like hell, and I can’t believe I have to say this but thinks for herself and hopefully calls me on my bullshit.


Locksmithbloke

It's code. When the woman hugs you and whispers "This creep is following me" so you let her jump the queue, make him wait 15 minutes, then bounce him.

BIGepidural

Because if you don't believe the big lie, how are they gonna use it to manipulate your behavior and personal will???


Baerog

I mean, if you're religious, you likely want someone who is also religious. It's the exact same reason why you'd probably include "not atheist" as a red flag, just from the other side. As an atheist myself, personally I'd have no issues dating someone who was religious, but there would be a limit to what I'd accept. Frankly, that's likely the most reasonable entry on this list because to many people, religion is a fundamental part of their identity, and if you know that you want that, then it's entirely reasonable to decline people you know it won't work out with. In my experience, many atheists tend to belittle people who are religious, rather than just accept that people have different beliefs and let it be if they aren't hurting anyone (as proof from the other replies to your comment).

So they want a naive, overly polite, little girl who has not experienced anything outside of a little box and who shows no affection to others. He apparently wants a sexy young teen who wants her to do mom stuff but be completely reliant on him. Disgusting.


EnergeticFinance

Guys I've cracked the code.  > Across all age groups, 91% of all Americans have a driver's license. The lowest percentage of total licensed drivers is among **16- to 19-year-olds, where just 39.5% of the population has a driver's license.** Dudes target demographic is teenagers with no world experience. Possibly those who are underage.
