      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.

    “Can think for herself”.

    Dude really wants to do the “Where do you want to go eat?” “I dunno, where do you want to go eat?” vicious cycle?

    Lots of these are on my list of wants in a partner. Give me a tatt’d up sailor mouthed gym rat any day of the week. Driver’s license optional.

    People hold these views. The fact he’s trolling doesn’t exclude him from holding some or all of them. Whether he holds these views or not isn’t relevant to understanding these views. Here are some reasons why a conservative man would hold these views.

    These threaten his religious sensibilities:

    • Use of profanity or vulgar language
    • Any piercings
    • Vapes
    • Hugs the bouncer on a night out
    • Skimpy clothing
    • Tattoos
    • Atheist

    These threaten traditional roles for women, which he needs to deny women access to public life and define his own masculinity:

    • Over 500 followers on IG
    • Has a twitter account (Other microblogging platforms do count)
    • Cannot cook

    These threaten his masculinity because he associates them with men:

    • Knows what a barbell is
    • Been to more than 3 countries

    These threaten the dependence that he thinks women should have on him and all the other reasons apply to these as well:

    • Has a drivers license
    • Can think for herself

    That makes me a 0 … ( Depending what he thinks about te stuff I do cook )

    Have been called worser things than a null points. But somehow in this case I see it as a compliment.

    Okay, so I personally don’t care for tattoos or vapers? But everything else on this list is just mental illness on his part.

    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.

    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 :)

      “Over 18”

      … my first thought when I read “never dated a woman” was “yeah, because these are mostly the basic requirements for an adult women. Sicko obviously likes them young”

      Seemed realistic enough at first but then “thinks for herself” and “been to more than 3 countries” puts this obviously in satire land.
