      I will be honest, I’m somewhat proud of my proficiency level in English, especially considering I learned russian and German in school.

      But your comment confuses me, cause I don’t understand half of it.

        Don’t worry about it. Your English is probably fine.

        I’m high and also kinda struggled to understand it

        I think this is the first time I’ve seen the word “libertinage”

        same here, had to read 3 times and rely on context. it does seem like they are using complex language just for the sake of using complex language

      Change your perspective and imagine the meme was made by a (male) incel and you’ll get what they were getting at.

          Guy that’s mad because he’s been flirting with a woman and wants to get with her but she explains to him that she doesn’t wanna be with him but just wants him to want her.

          It’s not how I read it initially, but hear me out…

          Wants to get in a relationship but can’t? Check. Blames the woman for it? Check

          Incel’s perspective checks out, imo.

              I agree, mostly, as that’s how I read it as well. But I also think that it’s easier to misunderstand that you’re making it out to be. Because there’s context from your previous posts which isn’t explained in this meme. There’s just the mention of fling in the title but the actual meme only says “I wanna be single but I want you to be obsessed with me”. And a person in a non monogamous relationship wouldn’t refer to themselves as “single”, for example, which leads to more confusion, I think
