HA HA HA DEAD BEDROOM
It’s a real thing that happens
Yeah. statistically a woman’s sex drive begins to fall after a year. Sex researchers call it “the tragedy of the male sex drive.”
I highly recommend The Science of Sex by Baumeister and Tice. It’s full of surprising insights.
Are the straights OK?
according to suicide statistics they’re better than non-straights
But that’s because of society not relationships
doesn’t really matter if you only ask whether someone’s fine or not
There can be unhealthy, weird “culture” around straight relationships and jokes about how your wife sucks is an example of it.
Asking “are the straights ok” is to express that you notice an example of that, obviously not an actual question about how were doing.

As I pointed out, “are the straights ok” has nothing to do with actual wellbeing. Its meant to express surprise the same way someone might reply to “I like pineapples on pizza” with “are you ok?”.
Theres nothing to take offence over. Im straight myself. I probably did a bad job at explaining what the phrase takes aim at. See /r/AreTheStraightsOK on Reddit for examples of what it means.
All I’ll say is I’ve been married 24 years and this comic does not apply to me.
This is a shit post, not a shitpost
lol so many downvotes to this
People come to a lemmy group for a laugh and then there are those who just can’t laugh about anything. They must be very sad people
wife bad amirite fellow men
Father I cannot click the book.
Fellow boomers
You could easily reverse the genders and this would still be funny. He’s saying it to her face, it’s like a roast
Edit: Y’all are some sad motherfuckers here on Lemmy. You’re not supposed to take jokes seriously. It’s literally a shitpost, nobody is here on their soapbox saying women are bad
It’s not really funny with any genders. I guess I’ve had too many “roasts” to my face
You shouldn’t have stopped sucking
I’d recommend breaking up with him if you haven’t already
Sad motherfuckers for calling out a shitty "spouse “bad” joke?
No, it’s just people are super tired of hearing about jokes being made at the expense of people you’re supposed to love lmao. That’s like the exact opposite of “sad motherfuckers”.
It’s nice that they are cleaning together
Maybe they could work together to clean out some of the water pipes in the house
I hope she’s his sister or the poor fella is not gonna get any for some time.
do you call your siblings “babe”?
He also calls his mum “honey”.
Maybe their parents really like 90’s childrens movies.
Roll tide
Well sounds like he isn’t getting any anyway so might as well have fun with it.
It’s what all marriage counselors suggest really /j
FW:FW:FW:FW:RE:Lol!
The suck is what you gotta keep focused in the right area. Typically the groin
It’s funny because any man stating “this is true” etc is just telling on themselves. If the physical attraction was there before marriage the only reason it would disappear after marriage is that one person is suddenly not “putting in the effort” any more.
That effort doesn’t start with a bj.
It’s entirely possible that it’s not the man who stopped putting in effort.
Look at the demographics of those who create, share and upvote memes from the man’s (this thread) and the woman’s point of view.
Entirely possible - yes. Statistically likely - no.
Purely out of curiosity, where are you pulling these demographics from?
Are you interested or did I just hit too close to home for your liking?
Do you expect everyone to accept everything you say at face value without question? Are you this bizarrely aggressive every time someone questions you? I questioned it because it seemed like an odd statement with very broad reach being applied in a largely anonymous space.
You’ve linked a paper locked behind a paywall, thanks for that. I’m not seeing much of anything to do with demographics in that paper at all. The paper appears to be an analysis of the types of humour present in some popular memes and how they apply to feminism.
None of the categories outlined in the paper even seem like a particularly good fit for this particular meme, other than maybe at a stretch a single line discussing general vs specific sexism, although I’ll openly admit I’m not conversant in the literature.
If you ask for scientific backing it’s a bit rich to then complain on you not being able to read said papers. However, let me tell you about sci-hub:
https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1177/0959353517727560
The “Analysis and discussion” heading is interesting reading.
This paper is also relevant:
https://sci-hub.se/https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07448481.2021.1927049
Women (M = 1.46, SD = 1.83) were more likely than men (M = 1.83, SD = 1.16) to believe that being ready to have sex and their partner’s desire for sex are important to consider in relationships (t(254) = –2.863, p < .01).
I didn’t ask for scientific backing, I asked where you were pulling the demographics from because you said “look at the demographics” indicating this is readily available information. How exactly is it rich if I complain I can’t read the papers? (Which you’ll note I didn’t actually say, you might also note sci-hub is blocked in multiple countries including mine.) I don’t understand the reasoning there, you provide something that’s not easily readable and blame me for not being able to read it?
Regardless, I did actually read it as you’ll note again from my previous post I pointed out there don’t appear to be any demographics in the paper and that the paper appears to be more about categorising memes and how they pertain to feminism.
The second paper you’ve provided doesn’t mention memes, it’s an exploratory study of how social media use impacts perceptions of relationships and consent in a small collegiate sample (the sample size is emphasized by the authors, not me). No real conclusions are drawn although the authors do speculate it is the perception of how others behave on social media in relationships that causes the impact - how is this supporting your point? It has absolutely nothing to do with people posting anything, memes or otherwise.
Their ass
I’ve had GFs in the past lose their attraction to me because I cried in front of them one time. All kinds of shit can affect that. Not just laziness. It may not even be anyone’s fault at all.
Not fully convinced you’re discussing marriage like the rest of us here tbh
I’m discussing reasons people can lose attraction to each other. You don’t have to be married for that to happen.
The thread talks about what happens after marriage. I suggest not marrying people you haven’t been vulnerable in front of.
That was just an example I had personally experienced. As I said there could be any number of reasons. Mental health, work stress, illness, hormone changes, etc. Marriage status has nothing to do with it.
It seems really unhealthy for men to not ever cry.
Maybe but overall I think I’d have been better off keeping it to myself and continuing to have sex regularly. I don’t need to cry that often and having someone else around when I do it has never really helped with whatever was going on.
Wash your taint FFS!
Wife bad amirite
r/BOOMERTIME is leaking?
With this kind of attitude, his mop is better at making things wet than he is.
That’s not even a mop.
