That’s step 1 before the inevitable step 2: starting an ‘alpha male’ podcast and complaining about ‘gold diggers’, lol.
At that point its just self hatred manifest.

Ah yes, classic boomer misogyny disguised as a meme.
I mean, the post sure is shit, I’ll give it that much.
Why is this misogyny, women who like money exist, whether you like it or not, more so than women who like old men for their bodies/looks, if anything the butt of the joke here is the old man.
Or if you want to deeper you can say the butt of the joke is us living in a terrible capitalistic system where money is capable of overriding our desires.
The meme doesn’t say all women go for money, it just says that’s the best chance the old guy has at impressing one of the girls.
You’d have to be some quite thin skinned offense seeking machine to see it like that, in my opinion.
Oh come off it. You and I both know that the man in this image is not the butt of the “joke,” and it’s an insult to both our intelligence to pretend otherwise. Fucking sad that it’s 2025 and we’re still defending pathetic positions like “the only thing that really impresses women is wealth” under the guise of shit like “no, no, see, he’s old, so it’s actually a deep and nuanced boomer humor Facebook post from Grandpa.”
Sling insults and argue ad hominem to try and deflect all you want, this meme is base level, early 2000s sexism.
Once again, the joke is not that the only thing that impresses women is wealth, it’s that the old guy can only impress women with wealth (or rather that’s his best shot) otherwise why do you think it’s specifically an old guy in the picture? Why isn’t it just a guy?
I can’t help if you can’t interpret a simple 2 sentence, 1 picture meme.
it’s not that she can’t, she doesn’t want to
He. The fact that you assumed I’m a woman explains a lot about why you’d defend this.
Because that is the target audience, but not the explicit message.
Your bias colors the post in a light that is favorable to your interpretation. Interpreted from a wider lens, it is genuinely perpetuating sexism. You’ve simply internalized it.
Bruh, lmao
The ATM’s not working for you, I take it?
Once again, a shitpost that gets dissected to death. Don’t worry OP, you’ll get them next time, Lemmy just can’t help itself.
