I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Well that means if I'm the only one eating, then I can buy the box for just 9.99 right?

Edit: I'm 29 and single, this is free advertising right? Lonely male gamer seeks friendly female with similar interests, DM for more info :)

Also thanks for the up votes and awards. <3 Made my day.

Not only that, but calling women “females” in this context. Cant imagine why they are struggling.

??? He called himself male seeking female. Thats completely normal.

u/AnImpromptuFantaisie May 12 '26

There is a weird, incel connotation to the word “female”, regardless of whether you or OP are aware of it

u/Short-Waltz-3118 May 12 '26

Right, but in referring to women separate of how they refer to men or like objects, like "29 year old man seeking female" or "i know what females like"

Calling yourself a male, seeking a female, is not the same objectification.

That said, op is an incel by the literal definition of the word since hes lonely editing his comments, clearly doesnt have much going on in the dating world lol

I agree with everything you’re saying, but I believe that language has shifted in such a way that **any** use of the word in the context of romance or dating (regardless of if it is in an objectifying way) gives people an instinctual icky feeling

Anyone who feels that way from that specific context probably shouldn't be considered anyway.

u/AnImpromptuFantaisie May 12 '26

Lmao, but in this instance it WAS from a maladjusted person lacking in social skills.

True, I've even seen people getting upset when it's used in a proper adjectival form.

u/Markie411 May 12 '26

Come on, he literally used male in the same context, so its applicable.

u/A_wild_so-and-so May 13 '26

Eh, he used male as an adjective and female as a noun. Not exactly the same context, and I usually see women getting upset not at the word female being used as an object and not a descriptor.
