A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Edit: because a few comments make me worry that some are taking this seriously - this meme is a play on the type of hopeless dating posts you might find in less healthy corners of the internet. The joke is a suggestion that the real problem is that one man in the image has some sort of arrow-attracting superpower.
this smells like incel
Any time men complain about anything related to dating:
This isn’t true at all. Everywhere you see average guys out there with girls. Yes, attractive people gain attention. But also, average people date.
The irony of the original graph is that if you draw the arrows that go the other way, they’re symmetrical.
Of course people are more attracted to attractive people. That’s literally why it’s called “being attractive”.
Every single one of those girls is clearly an arrowhead-repeller. (Men have it so easy.)
Notice how the third woman in line is aiming for the dick.
Poor #4 had to settle for knees.

Settle? We don't kink shame here, sir.
He was just asking for it, look at the way his knees were dressed
Buddy, the edit doesn't help. Repeating propaganda or misinformation and saying but this instance is satirical doesn't help. You're still just spreading their talking points for them.
Dating shouldn't be monetized. Even sending messages often requires a subscription. You'll also notice these dating app companies own several products, like the Match Group. They buy up competitors or spam out the same software under different names with a marketing campaign to try to get people to join. Then they restrict features and charge more to maintain their position. That's without even getting to all the data they collect and sale while also charging you a subscription. Just imagine talking to someone you want to date in real life and having a middle man come up and say, if you want to talk to them you need to give me $20 a month. All the "science" they use to connect people is just bullshit too.
ouch, my bones
Sperm retention 😭
The reverse reason is also that the pink blobs will receive arrows from all of the blue blobs. Blue blobs just reduce their market value that way.
