That escalated from flirting to economic sanctions in one reply. First date diplomacy is brutal.

Late Stage Capitalism is pervasive and insidious
lmao
Show up in a fursuit to establish ???
But really, the obvious thing to do is go eye for an eye and steal their food in turn.
Pay the bill and the tip to establish even more dominance.
This ain't my first rodeo with a boytoy lol

I don't know where this gender war crap comes from. I always dated people that I liked and wanted to be around. It was even fun sometimes.
This sounds like an updated variant of "I hate my wife" boomer humor.
I've noticed that most rhetoric like this tends to come moreso from "serial daters", and wouldn't be surprised if it's a lot to do with defensive ego stuff or being jaded from past experiences.
I tend to read posts like this with a tongue-in-cheek tone of people just venting steam from previous dating experiences, like the dude has probably been stiffed with the bill a lot, and maybe the chick has been pushed around in the past. And then it becomes like a snowball effect because people who read this stuff on the internet that feel the same way take it at face value rather than something sardonic, so they project the whole "Aha! This is the reason why I struggle with X" response to it. So even if both people in this post were just being funny, when they see each other's posts, there's a reflexive ego incentive to take their joke slightly more literally.
We all just gotta step back sometimes and not take everything as personal gospel. It's making people with no experience in these areas go into situations like dating as combat, expecting some variety of this to transpire with malicious intent, ironically fueling that very perception.

If I can't eat off your plate then do you even like me enough to be dating me?
I think the issue people take with it is when they automatically assume it's okay to do on the first one or two dates, when most people are still trying to gage whether you might be crazy or have any red flags. Once you get past that into the lovey-dovey phase then it's a little different lol
I think its a great way to test if people have weird attitudes about personal space and food.
I would not love you if you were a worm either
I'll take innuendo for 10, Joe.
I know it's a total cliché, but I'm so glad I was lucky enough to exit the dating world in the early 2010s
Shit seems baad
When I was in college in 2013, this one guy in one of my Computer Science classes was talking about this new app called Tinder. Nobody could understand what the appeal of it was, everyone seemed to agree it was weirdly superficial and shallow.
Pretty surreal looking back now that app-based dating has become such a standard thing. Glad I met my wife before it happened, I'm not cut out this brave new dating world.

If you want to establish dominance, tie me up and whip me raw. Fuck off with this weak ass passive aggressive bullshit.
based :3
Leave hair ties in the bathroom and living room to establish territory.
Hair ties? Why not just piss on the furniture?
That just reminded me that I had an unpleasant dream last night. A herse drove past and a man was pissing on people from it.
Thank you for sharing this lol
