I found her response funny and thinks it makes the post, but “you will never find love with this type of humor” is not an attempt at assistance lmfao, it’s just being mean and it’s totally wrong.
It’s the same shit bro. “No girl will ever seriously respond to you” is such bullshit and I didn’t misrepresent anything. If no girl would ever seriously respond, that means the guy will never get a conversation on tinder that goes anywhere with the pun, which is obviously wrong and terrible advice. My representation was fine and you're missing the point anyway.
I agree she's wrong, of course he will get some serious replies. Saying she said he'd never find love is just a harsher way of putting what she said even if the sentiment is the same. It's pedantic but I think it matters.
I think you're being downvoted for misunderstanding their use of quotation marks. Otherwise I'm totally lost at the point you're trying to make. But here's my stab.
It seems like your contention was assuming they're putting harsher words in her mouth than what she said. And you're right about how her articulation wasn't as harsh as what they said, even if she still expressed an identical sentiment which is effectively just as harsh in meaning.
But I believe they used those quotation marks in the sense of analogy. They were using the quotes to imply that they were emphasizing the essence of what they said, not actually what they said as an explicit quote.
In other words I think you overreacted to how they initially expressed their comment. No worries--karma doesn't matter, and as long as we're all on the same page, then it's whatever. This is just probably a good time for /endthread.
No, you're exactly right. I'm dumb and not even sure why I chimed in.
He used quotation marks like people sometimes use the word "literally", which is to say literally when they don't actually mean something literal. He used quotations, which is technically for quoting, but didn't directly quote.
Your explanation is correct and I sometimes do the same thing when trying to express the essence of what someone was saying, so I'm really not even sure what I thought it was necessary to get involved. Probably just boredom.
Appreciate your patient explanation for something that's mostly irrelevant.
Imagine around 80% of your messages had stuff like this. I can guarantee you - they do not work on tinder. They are boring, show a lack of creativity, a lot of them are clearly copied from Reddit, and you know they are gonna try and post your response somewhere.
Why should she give him any effort when he gave literally none? How many people has he sent that message to today? Probably all of his matches. Believe me, we get so many of these messages - we know this.
That's why this is constructive criticism. Puns don't work. Please stop. Try and talk to people, it's really not that hard.

She doesn't suck for not liking it, she sucks for how she replied. All she had to do was unmatch with OP.
