So swiftness is mentioned twice. I guess it must be pretty important? But if you asked 100 women to speak one adjective they do NOT want in a man, you would hear the word “quick.”

Damn I didn't get it 🥀

Not bad for a first meme. I rate it 6½/10. We'll be watching your meme career with great interest. 👍

Shrek truly is love

A perfect 5/7

[–] marcie@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

actually this is what the captain wants to see in his gay lover, mulan

[–] nile_istic@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Still waiting on the tragic romance version of Mulan, where they don't get together at the end because falling in love with boy-Mulan helped Shang finally come to terms with being gay.

I'd also take the version where he ends up with Mulan's horny grandma instead. Either or.

Okay so I'm familiar with transbian (trans and siberian), right? Is there a cool word like that for ftm and gay?

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

s there a cool word like that for ftm and gay?

The word is trans-men.

As in: the number of trans-men that I've been hooking up with lately has made me concerned about accidental pregnancy for the first time in my life as a cis gay man.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

transmen does not mean gay. try again

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's queer not somehow not automatically assumed when my example explicitly states men hooking up w men?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

i'm saying your example is wrong. it does not automatically assume when you're a transman you're going to be a man who hooks up with man. you're just reading your own preferences into it because that's what you're looking for

what is the word for ftm who hook up with women then? is heterosexuality that terrifying to you? or do they not exist like bi men and intersex folk

[–] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Apparently according to eldavi if you're ftm you have to love dick, not pussy.

edit: i realized just now that i could be misinterpreting eldavi but that would be admitting trans exclusionism and fuck that.

[–] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I understand where you're coming from but lots of us queer folks don't think of attraction in terms of genitals, and eldavi didn't say you had to like particular genitals either. Back to your original point, transbians don't only date other transbians, many date cisbians. Trans people who only date trans people use the label t4t.

So, there is not a cool word for gay Trans men. But y'all want to infodump at me so I miss that fact. Got it.

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, – so long as we're defining it in terms of trans Siberians – I don't see why trans Siberian men couldn't use it, also ;)

They have a fantastic orchestra

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Women don't want you to be mysterious, they want a dick (or strapon) made of chocolate that ejaculates money. Hell, I want a dick or strapon made of chocolate that ejaculates money, and I'm a dog!

Oh, shit, I wasn't supposed to let ya'll know dogs can get on the internet.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dogs shouldn't eat chocolate! Bad dog

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 1 points 1 week ago

It's okay, it's likely going to be hershey's milk chocolate, so I'd have to eat a person sized chunk to even notice the cacao.

[–] ragingHungryPanda@piefed.keyboardvagabond.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

on the internet nobody knows you're a dog

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

I thought it was assumed we were all dogs, so it didnt matter anymore.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What's mysterious about the dark side of the moon? It looks just like the side we can see.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

But we can't see it, which makes it mysterious.

if your head explodes with dark forebodings, you shout and no one seems to hear, and the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you there

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

... Is no one going to comment how it's quoting the song lyric wrong???

It's the strength of a raging fire.

Which, admittedly, is also redundant (because the typhoon has force...) but ...

...
Ah. Apologies if I am being insufficiently gentle, op. You'll get there <3 it's okay!

"Trolling is a art"

Intentionally making a minor error is one of the most established methods of generating engagement.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Holy shit how did i fuck that up, you guys are being too gentle! I appreciate it lol

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Interesting tidbit about Disney's Mulan (animated):

In all Disney animated movie, singalong songs are the norm. Except, that is, for the animated Mulan movie. The last song they sing is this one, which ends abruptly as they arrive to join forces with the main dude's father's army. They were all wiped out by the enemy before they got there. After that, the rest of the movie is somber and includes no more sing along songs.

Also, it was the first movie to include CGI with hand-drawn animations.

I dunno, I don't think women want this as much nowadays. Alot of women I know do seem to be into k-pop dudes, though. The slender, aerodynamic, and chic vibe seems pretty in.

I'm a man and I can tell you this isn't true.

It's good poetry though
and there's certainly a group of women out there loving to hear this,
who will say yes if you ask them if they're romantic,
unless she's 'Summer' from '500 days of Summer',
because that woman wanted to cite this kind of poetry
to her perfect partner and have him swoon over.

But you're better off stating this to a romantically inclined woman
than to interpret the poetry and following its lines.
