Relationship status - Lemmy.World

Relationship goals
You may break up whenever you want actually and achieve your goal
being… single?
That’s not a goal but the reality.
Or worse… Divorced cat lady.
She’s the only one who looks fun enough to date…
I’d actually agree there.

I mean, by nature of the photo, she’s being set up to look cool. The others are all doing one thing, which is essentially bragging (in a sense. It’s a tradition based on judging/measuring wealth of the one who gave them the ring), while she is self-aware enough to look like she’s poking fun at herself, while also proving she’s above the tradition on display.

This is a one-photo story where she’s set up to be the hero. Not to mention the color differences, the others have their hair down/done while she has her hair pulled back. It’s almost too-set up to make her look awesome.

Hehe i drink beer im so fun hoho
More that they’re willing to pose like this for the picture
Seems like they’re all willing to pose like that for a picture. Do you think girl in purple came up with the idea and executed it all on her own? Looks to me like she had at least three (maybe four, depending on who’s taking the picture) equally fun friends who also thought this would be hilarious.

They’re all willing to pose but only one of them is being self-deprecating in the picture, the others are getting to show off - which is fine, nothing wrong with that - but the only outlier here is the girl with the beer so we don’t really learn anything about anyone but her.

Speculating on motives is pointless, I could say it was the idea of the most recently married one of the three who’s being a removed to the girl in purple, and purple felt pressured into doing it because she always gets harassed for being “no fun” or something.

You are making a lot of negative assumptions about girls you do not know. To me, this looks like a funny spin on the “omg look I’m engaged photo” (which there’s nothing wrong with, by the way, even though you claim it’s for attention. What’s wrong with that? Sometimes things happen to people and you want to share. So what), where four friends happen to be engaged at once except one, so they’re taking a silly photo they all agree to be in.

Your thinking smacks of misogyny in that you’re assuming that all of these girls are being horrible to each other because of some stupid assumption society has about that being “just how groups of women are”. It’s not true, and it’s stupid.

I made no negative assertions, just pointing out that speculation is useless because you could make up any situation that results in this photo, and that the only thing we can realistically conclude is that the girl in purple is ok with this photo existing, and her friends are married.
Also hotter than all her friends.
Nah. There are at least two in that line up that are cute. In fact some people thinking drinking like a lush is a huge turn off.
You’ve been too sober for too long and it has affected your judgement. Which one will it be, sport? Moonface, Grandma or the skeletal ghost of benedict cumbersnatch?
Who says I am sober? Just because I don’t see women that are wasted as attractive?
Evidence of one beer, wasted? Whatever GladiusB.
In Germany we say “lieber Frau und Kind erschießen, als ein Tropfen Bier vergießen”. (better to kill wife and children, than to waste a drop of beer).
No we don’t say that.
Logical. You are too smart for me …
Yeah their elbows are pointy and their hair is too frizzy 0/10
wow. maybe because the others arent looking to date. because they are engaged/married
I only date married chicks, they’re cheaper.

Where my beer nerds at.

Can we ID that label?

Looks ballast point-y.

Damn well done dude I think you’re right
I’m counting like 12 pixels in the original pic but hot damn I think you got it.
Nope. Spotted Cow by New Glarus. Wisconsin only.
Real beer nerds wouldn’t admit to knowing what a Ballast Point looks like since they got bought out by AB like 10 years ago.
Real beer nerds would know they got bought by constellation, not AB InBev.
Hah if you’re not married you should drink about it haha just self medicate your frustrations with destructive forms of addictive substances 🤪
How you can tell someone’s an alcoholic when they don’t even drink. Don’t ever try it if that’s your brain’s default setting toward it.

Huh? When did I say anything about alcoholics? I was just calling out the narrative and the push that drinking because you’re single is normal or somehow a healthy behavior. Wasn’t supposed to be this deep, just a callout on behavior which can very quickly spiral out of control. 1 in 12 men and 1 in 25 women have an alcohol problem in the us.

Idk I’ve been recently trying to live a more healthy and sober life (despite not having issues with substances in the past) and honestly just feel disconnected with the obsession of drinking. Didn’t mean to offend or anything

I think the vibe is supposed to be that they have to act married now and she can still party and have fun. Drinking is just used as a symbol of a carefree life.

However I do agree about trying to lead a healthy life, here in rural Canada I would say way more than 1:12 men have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. I’m a casual drinker but I know a lot of drunks. And I mean beer for breakfast, driving around with a case of beer beside them and a Mickey in their pocket drunks, fully dependent alcoholics. Our cowboy culture really lets them slide on it, to a dangerous level.

I could see that perspective too good point. I took her looking away from the camera as a “well fuck” and less of a haha look how happy and how much fun I’m having. But that’s just my perception of a silly lil meme
Yikes
Metaphors, like sarcasm simply go over some people’s heads.
Are ‘the metaphors’ in the room with us now?
Purple? Did you misspell lavender?
That’s definitely black!
Is her name Yanny or Laurel?
Gold, you fucking savages!
Lavender is darker. That’s lilac
Alcoholism funny
She’s not too far gone yet. She won’t realize she’s an alcoholic until twenty years from now.
Sometimes it can be.
What a take to a picture of a girl having a beer.
Relationship status: normalize alcoholism
TIL 1 beer == alcoholism
Drink that sweet poison yes yes drink it more
Ok, so there’s this thing called a metaphor…
Jfc why does Lemmy hate beer so much? I guess it’s because many Lemmings are socially isolated, giving them fewer positive associations from using alcohol in a social context within their own lives. But maybe the international users are also a factor; people of European extraction are significant outliers compared to the rest of the world when it comes to beer consumption.
What do you mean? 3 liters of beer a day keeps sorrow away
? I live in Europe and beer consumption is insane here. Though I hate the taste of beer.
I’m saying Europeans and North Americans drink a lot of beer. South Americans and Asians, not as much.
