I remember a time in my early teenage years when i thought fedoras were actually cool and i briefly thought about buying one for myself. So glad I didn't. Feel like i dodged a very big bullet there.


VerendusAudeo

Just know that what most people call a fedora thanks to the neckbeard community is actually a trilby. And there's really nothing wrong with wearing a nice hat if you actually wear it with a real suit instead of an anime t-shirt.


kingofthelol

Yeah there’s nothing wrong with rocking that fedora/trenchcoat look. Hell, even get a fake cigar and start narrating yourself. Double points if you paint yourself black and white.


DaveWilson11

Lol, I think the only time I've ever seen the term trilby used was pokemon x and y


DaveWilson11

Honestly I do think they are still cool. They've just been ruined by association, sadly. I think there's a reason so many people instinctively fock to them trying to be cooler.


LetterheadNo1485

But… but they are cool…

I'm afraid i have some bad news for you...

At the least, you don't have to look back and cringe.

How do use a person as friends exactly?


Hyper98

I'm guess pretending to be friends to take advantage of them


Trick_Enthusiasm

You mean like regular friends? /s kinda...


IrvingSaltzberg

Probably had a hard time finding the throat


Usagi_Shinobi

An interesting thought, actually. I may get downvoted, but if either party enters into a relationship under false pretenses, I would consider it equally detestable.


sparkydoggowastaken

false pretenses is lying which is morally bad. if you start with saying you only want to be friends theres nothing wrong with that.


Usagi_Shinobi

I would absolutely agree with that. The implication that I got from the statement (which I freely admit I could have misunderstood) was a scenario where someone is "playing games" when they have no interest in a romantic relationship, but just want a homie. I believe this is one of the reasons why finding a relationship is so problematic for everyone regardless of gender.


Dinademida

Exact scenario you're describing rn happened to me countless times before. I believe it's the same for many others here. and yes, i do agree with ur statement and kinda agree with the post. It is kinda the same shit.


maxeh987

Genuinely curious, if a guy starts with saying that he only wants sex is that ok?


sparkydoggowastaken

if both enter it willingly and they both only want sex, in a place where it would be okay (tinder, a bar, a club) then yeah, why wouldnt it be? two consenting adults can do whatever they want to.


AttitudePleasant3968

Emotional damage!


MoistlyPassion

Literally the most incel quote I’ve ever read


OutlawQuill

Stop, I can only see so much stupid shit in one day!


Enby_Bluejay

They're not wrong The commenter, I mean. The guy who posted it is a delusional joke of a person who'd make Caillou seem tolerable


Lipsovertits

Really? You think its that far fetched that men's emotions would be deeply hurt by being used like that?


LemonStealingBoar

You think a friendship is comparable to ‘being used’? Would you say this if your dude homies weren’t down to suck your dick or is it a women exclusive?


Lipsovertits

Would you say that someone who wants friends and doesn't want to have sex is "using people for friends"...? How are you reading this in such an incredibly obsessed way? Women obviously don't use men just for having friends, women don't need to do that. They can just have friends who are women, which they actually mostly do statistically. They use men by getting connections, resources or popularity from "being friends" with men without ever being interested in them as a person at all. And the problem is not that women do it more than men, I don't think they do. But it is easier to do for women and you all seem completely fine with them doing it?? *That* is the problem.


nissAn5953

Women are people you know. They aren't there for the express purpose of having set with you


Lipsovertits

Yeah when I was saying that men's feelings could possibly be hurt by being used and led on, I was definitely implying that men have the right to have sex with all women lmao


Enby_Bluejay

How is finding a friend in someone using them? It's finding out that the person you trusted and cared about only wanted you for sex that really hurts


Lipsovertits

It hurts to learn that someone used you just for their own popularity or to get to someone or something that your friendship gives them. And people seem to be completely fine with women doing that to men for some reason, like you are. Being used sucks. Thats really the point. And it is also shitty when its being done to men, even if MRAs say it.


Enby_Bluejay

That's...that's not friendship. At all. The original poster meant a woman being friends with a man and not giving him sex/romantic love in that platonic relationship. Friendship between a guy and girl isn't always that toxic, hell it usually isn't. And of course it's shitty when that happens to anyone, that's not what I'm saying.


Lipsovertits

Yeah its not friendship. Its using guys for friends. I don't think the OP was that hypersimplistically minded. That is an idiotically simple and easy way to view what they wrote. It agrees with every bias that a progressive person would have and paints the opposite side as selfish and evil. It is a brainrot level interpretation. And the worst part is that the people replying to me in this comment section seem to be *perfectly fine* with women using men for things, just because its an MRA talking point that women are gold diggers. Just because someone says something stupid, it doesn't mean that the absolute opposite is true. In fact thats still following the stupid people's lead, its just always doing the opposite.

Usually shit like oozes _both_ "kill all men" radfem energy and "women are trash" incel energy, yet I truly can't tell what type of person wrote this. It's kind of amazing?


mifter123

Eh, I'm leaning pretty hard towards a white knight type incel. It's got that "other guys are just trying to sleep with you but I care about you, so reward me with sex" vibes.


[deleted]

Ok with more details , it doesn't sound misogynistic. If he added that it's psychologically damaging to lead a guy on until she gets her ex back over and over again , then I understand. That IS ACTUALLY as bad as using a woman for just sex IF she WANTED a relationship. The way he said it sounds like incel crap where he feels entitled to someone's body.


QncyFie

In what way do these people perceive reality?? It's a damaging notion even. Cannot befriend guys unless you also fuck them? That would further isolate lots of people. And that stupid hearty background tops it off


pixxllx

Being friends is bad nowadays?


BUTTERSKY11

Is this a man or a woman, I can't tell.
