this has been on my mind a lot. I follow some lesbian meme shitposting groups and there's tons of memes that are just like "This girl looked at me and I died and then she smiled at me and I came back to life" and I just cannot think of any cishet men's spaces that bring that have that level of absolutely dorky dysfunctional love for women. And, like, cishet men, their whole thing is supposed to be being in to women, and that just strikes me as really weird that there's not an equivalent. Like the closest I can think of is wife guy memes but that's just one wife, usually.

Do any spaces like that exist? Is it even possible given the way gender works in society?

    That's kind of the way i'm leaning. Like do straight men even actually like women?

      I have several friends that specifically do not like women and it is weird. Like, homie, what do you event want a woman for if you are not endlessly fascinated by the way they happy dance when you feed them.

        Right? There's a scene in the battle angel alita movie where the love interest gives Alita an orange and her face just lights up and I have very many feelings like how amazing would it be to give someone you love the experience of an orange for the first time omgmgmgmmgmmgmgmggllglglfedofryeduirfundmorifdcneruoedncrdks!

      I used to think that it was a grillman specific curse, but unfortunately plenty of young men only seem to want women for RooshV-style BAAAANG points and otherwise seem to outright hate them.
