      You are underestimating christo-fascists and their desire for ultra traditional gender roles.

      Thinking for herself is a requirement in the industrialized world, since adulting is a subset. Maybe there’s a farm that raises gentle ladies-in-waiting with only domestic skills the way we train service dogs to help disabled people, but such women are not found in general society.

      Also, not thinking for herself makes her unemployable in a society where all adults are required to earn a living (which often takes more than one full-time job). So this requirement implies the guy is rich enough to afford a family on one income.

      In short, like the 1950s man, he’s not looking for a date or a wife. He’s looking for a household appliance. Kenmore will sort him out.

      As for the rest of us losers working class guys, real women who think for them selves and can adult are an asset and a keeper. Heck, if they can think for us too, sometimes, that’s a bonus.

        Maybe? There is a large portion of christo-fascists who actually believe much of that. I am certainly not so naive that I am ruling out satire, but I would also be remiss not to consider that it’s actually real and posted by an outright garbage human.

    For some reason I have a real bad phobia of piercings, which is unfortunate, as most hot people have them.

      The only ones that really bother me are the ones that go through the center part of their nose like a cartoon bull. I can’t stop thinking about them getting crusty when you have a runny nose and it grosses me out.

        Oh yeah I get that. I too think that it’s weird how these through the nose ones are so popular…

    I’m seriously on the fence with this one. A couple of points make it really difficult for it to not to be satire, but I’ve met guys who would unironically think of “can think for herself” as a malus - but they wouldn’t admit it out loud. Now, can there be some kind of cave creature so pulled apart from civilized life that they would think this and post it?

      I’m pretty sure this guy does want a woman who can think for herself. Otherwise he’s gonna have to tell her how and when to clean the house, plan and cook meals, take care of their kids, and manage the household…etc. He’s gunning for the Monkey’s Paw version of a tradwife.

    Vaping would be a deal breaker for me. Besides being douchy, I just plain don’t like it, just how I hate smoking. Piercings I probably wouldn’t like outa taste, but someone who can think for themselves is a must otherwise I’d get bored quickly. Not being able to cook would be somewhat problematic as I can’t cook well either, soooo…

      The type of person that wants someone that can’t think for them selves…isn’t really that high on the mental flag pole of life.

      But the saying is code for a bunch of stuff, I really doubt that they mean they are searching for someone with severe brain damage and has trouble performing even the basic functions of life.

    I choose to believe he’s counting backwards from 10, and I got 12/14 so I’m gonna call my score -1/10 and hope guys like this avoid me 😂

    Only missed 500 IG followers and hugging the bouncer. But I like to think I’d hug a nice bouncer :)

    This guy is a troll, which does not rule out also being a sexist bigot.

    In any joke there’s a part you believe and a part you don’t.
