    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
