Have you read the responses or this topic? Clearly it needs to be normalized considered how harshly people are reacting to it.

I refuse to believe youre an actual psychonaut. No one could be this dense. It already is normalized. If it was an actual friendship date hed post pictures of them hanging and move on like real men and women do everyday. And guess what, no one would have been like what a weirdo. I certainly wouldnt think anything of it. When he labeled it as a friendship date and makes such a big deal about it, its obvious to anyone with a brain he is upset he cant sleep with his friend and so is acting like hes some revolutionary to the people. Its ridiculous

Also since jack ignored the rest of my post so Ill requote and bold it

the irony is the people on ce are calling me out for being a bitter incel when I think its much more likely my points about hoverhanders always thinking about women sexually in minute details and the idea of taking photos to show everybody else how much fun youre having hit a serious nerve with a bunch of posters here

you keep acting like hoverhanding is totally normal behavior. Its just flat out bizarre. As far as Keanu reeves go, hes made it a point to say he never wants fans to think hes touching them in any kind of way which is why he does it. Anybody can tell its a different situation than this guy

agreed with the opening post. man pay for own meal and woman pay for own meal.

Nah I haven't, I feel like I have a basic idea though, given the internet and how it reacts to friendzone and hoverhand and stuff. Don't really care to explore whether I'm right or wrong though.

I just don't get why you would call it a "friendship date". Just call it hanging out. There are plenty of ways to title the post like "Love hangin with Angela (or w/e this bitch name is lol she hot follow me on insta)" or "my best gal pal" or some other corny shit. Calling it a date but then specifying it is of the friendship variety is oxymoronic. If I go to a nice restaurant with my cousin, I don't call it a family date or a cousin date.

Would you? Would you call going to a bar with your female cousin a Cousin Date? And then post about it online?

Some female coworkers have called me their "work husband" and I think it's uncomfortable. They aren't my "work wife".

To be fair, sometimes my guy friends and I jokingly call hang outs "bro dates" or something dumb but it's with satire. Something doesn't seem very satirical about this.

If its so normalized, why is there a 100 post topic about how unusual it is?

because there isnt

hanging out with your friend isnt unusual and i dont think anybody said it was

A friendship date isn't normalized.

Just hanging out is.

You can straight up put "Friend date" into Google and see that it's not a new term. There's a bunch of articles on ideas for them that immediately pop up. Its just a term that doesn't come up in everyone's circle

---

fuck man some of yall will argue about anything. They clearly dont mean date in some sort of special sense and arent trying to say its a new thing. Theyre just saying people of the opposite sex should be able to hang out like couples would and not have people think some type of way about it. Dont start going on about friend zone and all that. Yall analyzing this way too much lol.

Does it say how long the term has been commonly or "commonly" used? I'm curious but I'm not going to open a browser on my phone because I will get ads and this isn't urgent. If it isn't new, I'm just wondering how long it has been around.

ill for the life of me not make the connection between me calling out this Twitter dude for being at the very least incredibly extra and my sex life. If I was criticizing the girl I could see that.

*looks back at posts in this topic*

I said she seemed like good vibes because shes being nice to him and probably hasnt learned the lesson that even people who seem to have their shit together can be predatory.

we know that 1/3 of women in college are sexually assaulted and now im gonna give the benefit of the doubt to the guy who exhibits the same creepy behavior as every creep Ive either known or had friends complain to me about?

its whatever unfortunately for you schmucks Im not deterred by your name calling. I know a dude who is not well adjusted when I see one.

I mean his post is pretty cringeworthy, but let them do whatever it's not my place. It's an obvious L, but do you bro.

I went with my cute friend just us two and it was not a date.

Calling it a date is weird. I guess the idea is you don't just catch a bite to eat, you both dress up to impress each other, try to look as sexy as possible, go to a romantic candlelit place, but only as friends?
Tbh lmao

Oh and "friendly" flirting no doubt

"Wow you look HOTTTTT tonight, but we just friends."

It's actually really moronic that you're applying that to this guy when he's literally tweeting this

https://twitter.com/bthemovement_/status/1379524721356734466

edit: just a little anecdote from real life, one of my friends in our main friend group had a long term girlfriend from Vietnam and was a big guy on morality and fairness. He was even a rules judge for magic the gathering iirc. Then we caught him sneak into one of our friends sisters rooms while sleeping and try to molest her. Then another girl came forward. So he was likely a serial rapist.

the point is people lie and can be real shitbags while doing it

I already called this out lol. Dude's made dozens of posts and paragraphs at this point and it's clear he's just projecting his own garbage onto this dude.

Generally speaking, incels can't handle being told no, or the prospect of being anything 'less' than romantically with a girl. Applying the term to someone who's expressing a very healthy mindset in regards to women just makes no earthly sense to me

how many incels do you actually know irl? Where the f*** are you making these generalities from? Ive met creeps who are young, old, ugly, hot, black belts at BJJ, black, white, redneck conservative, upscale liberal. The incel mindset persists in a far larger scale than some creeps in their basements. And I would say youre flat out wrong many of the incels I knew WOULD hang around women after being rejected and try and be friends waiting for a chance again. But they still only viewed them As objects that whole time

---

to be fair, wouldnt acting like an incel be insulting the woman for leading him on and sympathizing with the guy for being friendzoned?

I remember when Joss Whedon was a protector of women.

Dudes who are outspoken like this often are found to be the biggest creeps.
Weird that cemen want to defend this dude.

the world will never learn. But we gotta fight the good fight and call out creeps when we see em

Yes, the guy is not an incel.
However, that doesn't mean his twitter post is a good post or normal.

Conflict posted...

You're right, the incel mindset can subsist in other ways too. But most incels are generally angry and bitter

Honestly it just seems to me like you're heavily focused on your friend that wound up molesting people so it's clouding your ability to view this in a rational manner.

that was over a decade ago Ive met many creeps since then its just Im much better at distancing myself from them immediately because the older you get the better you are at vibe checking

---

Conflict posted...

So I have a question

You'd say you have a healthy mindset on women, yes? Do you think you'd be prone to doing some shit like that too?

Like that's the glaring hole in thinking "oh this dude is saying healthy things about women, he's gonna end up molesting or doing some creepy shit"

Your post doesn't make sense.
Going online and telling the world how much of a feminist you are and how much you care about women is not saying healthy things about women.

Like if I made a thread on CE about taking my female friend to the park and I respected her, you guys would rightly be all over me and find it creepy.
You are defending this very thing.

Yeah, that's the part that makes this weird to me as well. I have no problem with a male and a female hanging out as friends. I've done it plenty of times. Basically do the same things I would do with the boys.

But the idea of two platonic friends getting dressed up and basically going on dinner date, is bizarre. That goes well beyond "men and women can be friends."

That adds an additional dimension to the eyebrow raising.

Well at least this topic is educational.

Yea, pretty easy to understand. Certain users here just like to act a certain way. It makes them feel superior or something.

if they are both single, i think it is fine. one of them def wants the other, though. but if one or both have a SO, then it's a bit of a murky area with them going out looking that dressed up.

Or two on Snapchat?
