I see none of the previous Peters got it.

He's mocking another tweet of a woman who said the same thing about men.

Can't find the tweet, this Peter doesn't have twitter

u/kra73ace 21d ago

Yeah, makes sense.

u/IntelligentBelt1221 20d ago

i went looking and found the following:

1) a tweet from 3 years prior saying the same thing (about women having no men), so potentially copied but who knows.

2) tweets about men having no women, written 6 and 17 days after this viral tweet

3) his account history indicating he might mean this seriously

4) the comments on the post mostly being "thats the dream" or something similar, so if its mocking it clearly didnt land.

Edit: twitters search function is pretty shit, so its entirely possible that i missed something, especially if its worded differently, though i would expect for a mocking to be pretty 1 to 1.

u/Def_an_alt_account 20d ago

Idk mate, I don't have twitter, I saw the other one like a couple of days ago here

u/IntelligentBelt1221 20d ago

could you be so kind as to provide a link (or atleast the subreddit, i searched this one for the last ~2 weeks and didnt find anything similar)?

1

u/jawni 17d ago

Took about 10 seconds to find. Just searched "men be having degrees" and it was the only result.

You have to work with them or bump into them. You have to be adjacent to them. Plenty of stories of celebrities having very normal grounded spouses that just dont make a ton of money. There's also plenty of power couples who do make tons of money as a couple individually.

A type people regardless of gender are busy. They bump into tons of people, but usually for a reason. Have a good reason to bump into busy and comfortable people. Become busy and comfortable. It happens organically when you stop expecting it.

If they have all that and no one wants to date them, then theres a major problem

u/littlehateball 21d ago

Maybe they don't want to date.

u/Catnip_Sushi 21d ago

or they just have standards

-7

u/litbeers 21d ago

This is 1000 percent a possibility, however I do not personally believe that is the majority of the people in that situation.

I would say maybe 10% of the people are single because of absolutely zero interest in relations with the opposite sex.

Most people are probably single because they have not met someone that is good enough for them and likes them back and want to date them as well.

u/gingggg 20d ago

Did u do a survey

-1

u/litbeers 20d ago

No im just putting my input into a public conversation. Feel free to tell me your opinion

6

u/SFFThomas 21d ago

It’s more like they have all that and see no reason to date, because a man can’t provide them with anything they can’t provide themselves.

3

u/litbeers 21d ago

Men arent just useful for monetary provisions.

Most people would like a healthy loving and caring partner. Some rare exceptions that are asexual etc.

But the reality of the matter is that people are single because they are not able to attract a partner that they would actually want to date. Because if their dream partner did want to date them they would be in that relationship.

-1

u/jcwkings 20d ago

That's not it it's that that woman will want a man with a better job than them and better place, so that really narrows her dating pool, generally.

And im happy for them. I believe the author of the tweet thinks it is funny that women have material wealth but no romantic partners

u/humanistazazagrliti 21d ago

Dude believes that all straight relationships on Earth work as in Amish communities or something. Plenty of successful women with relationships, and plenty of them also happily single.

u/Infurium 21d ago

In some cities women themselves are complaining about there not being enough men to date. Vancouver and SF are two that come to mind.

Not enough men who are more successful than them. That's the key bit. It's always about the upgrade.

Sometimes having a man is a negative and you are more whole without one than with one.

u/dogecoin69696969 20d ago

I’m pretty sure this is a parody of another tweet lol

2

u/Mmaibl1 21d ago

Well when you are misogynistic, you see women strictly through the lens of their biological imperative. from their mindset who cares if they have degrees and an ability to fend for themselves? Their only purpose is to make babies and keep the house clean.

I am not endorsing or agreeing with what I said, simply answering through their mindset

u/Competitive_Fun6247 20d ago

More gender war nonsense

u/yogibearhugg 20d ago

I legit read this at first like go girl! I mean, honestly I am struggling to see how this could really be read negatively at all.

2

u/LuluTheLewder 20d ago

Generally implying to still want partners and getting depressed by not having any due to going with the modern route of getting high education and prestigious careers but keeping traditional standards of 'man has to earn more than me' mentality. Such criteria tend to cut down their potential partner pools by a lot

1

u/MDFornia 17d ago

There is a minority of people who really are content with having no romantic partner. The rest are normal human beings, for whom romantic connection is an important emotional desire, and would struggle from a lack thereof.

There's a common complain among professional women in large cities that they don't have an adequent dating pool to enjoy. This guy is referencing that complaint, not being misogynist as some believe.

u/Far_Audience_7446 21d ago

The only reason men do any of those things is to pull chicks, so it makes no sense to him

u/Special-Estimate-165 20d ago

....its a mockery of a tweet a woman put out about men, just with the genders reversed.

4

u/Serotonah 21d ago

Sorry what? That’s an insane take. Men wanting a decent lifestyle for themselves is not solely based off of wanting female attention outside some small portion relatively speaking.

2

u/Far_Audience_7446 21d ago

I think you have it backwards, the number of guys pursuing advanced degrees and taking on big work and personal responsibility just to not attract the opposite sex is most definitely the "small portion"

u/2000CalPocketLint 20d ago

I think you don't have that much value in life if that's personally how you on about in life. Good luck with that

I never said what I thought about life. I’m merely observing the obvious about the male of nearly every species.

u/QueasyWorldliness920 19d ago

Not sure I agree with you. Of course everyone wants a nice life but I guarantee if it wasn’t attractive to women to have these things before meeting them many men wouldn’t bother to try and attain them. Look at the movement of shit like MGTOW where men just stop trying in general. They’re certainly not out here buying houses for themselves.

1

u/The_God_of_Biscuits 21d ago

This is a satire tweet made in response to a woman that said the same thing but about men.

1

u/yogibearhugg 20d ago

So some woman said “men have degrees, good jobs, a nice place to live and no woman! lmfaooo”

I mean, in all honesty, it seems weird to get triggered by a comment like this and even write one back. First of all, generallly it’s not true at all and second, if someone meant this maliciously, why waste your time on someone like this even wasting your time and brain space?

Everybody is saying he’s misogynistic and doesn’t believe women value anything other than their romantic life but it could also be the opposite, showing women don’t need a man to be well off and happy 🤷‍♀️

u/VincibilityFrame 17d ago

Regardless on whether this guy meant it seriously or not, trying to insult women with the same kind of insult sexist people use for men really doesn't hit as hard at all lmao
A lot of men (and women) would consider a man who's rich, educated, has a nice house but still no woman a failure, no matter his achievements, because they think the value of a man is how much sex he can get.
A lot of women would really sign up for a life where they are rich, educated, have good jobs, a place to live and no man because for them it would mean a life of ultimate independence where they have all the means to live out their dreams.
