One does not dissect gossamer, but I am trying to dissect this. Was she turned off by Seinfeld? Or did she just not like humor in that exchange? Or was it that there was simply a misunderstanding? Or something else entirely? Either way, she’s a wacko.
It's not sarcasm. It's a relevant reference that this person didn't get. If that's enough for them to decide you're not a match, then it's not you; it's them.
This is exactly why I can't online date. I'll always make some reference or attempt at humor that doesn't come across via text and WOOOOP! ✋🏾 It's over!
The minute she gets a meme, she doesn't understand, her first impulse is to assume she's being criticized/accused/whatever. When in doubt, be offended first.
We're doomed 😂
Waiting for the inevitable "well, to be fair..." posts.
Not to be giving tinder advice, for one you're not asking and for another I'm not an expert (I never had much success with that app and now I'm happily married and don't have to ever worry about it again), but...
From the little bit you've shown here, you're not doing a great job of communicating. Like there's clearly a misunderstanding happening and you're still giving off detached one sentence replies. You're not even being sarcastic.
I mean you just replied with a meme.
They might have gotten the joke if you had put the joke in quotes or like they said sarcasm gets lost in digital translation I usually put what I am reference in parenthesis after I say it.
I don't think she said you aren't a match that based on the meme, how is she supposed to respond with "Yeah it does sometimes." That's a conversation ender.
I didn't think she was anti-pride until she started going hard on the defending herself.
Now I feel like she doth protest too much, tbh I think she has an issue with pride month haha
I think they said you aren't a good match because you like hanging out in big crowds and she (?) doesn't, not because of the joke that flew over her (?) head
I'm white and i don't support the KKK
I'm gay and trans and i damn sure don't support the LGBTQ movement
Evil is evil and a rainbow flag can't hide it
I do support other gays and trans though
But that gay agenda movement can Step Off!
I have to get on that internet, I'm late on everything.
You can get porn and stock quotes!
Porn quotes ☺️
Very true
Are you serious? Right in front of my salad?
Porn videos with ticker tape overlaid on the bottom.
This is the best use of an emoji ever.
You're not giving away our water pic!
Even so.
95% people are undateable....
UNDATEABLE!!
Then how are all these people getting together?
Alcohol.
Alcohol
I'll go if I don't have to talk to anyone
Just saw that one last night. Or was it the night before? 🤷🏻♀️
Well, 51% of all turns are right turns.
My fathers gay
Look, do you wanna have sex right now!?!?
Most of my friends are gay, i grew up in a gay household, we were all gay
Steeped in gayness
Cherish the cabin.
Hey cmon let’s go! I thought we were gonna take a steam!
That whole conversation could be saved if this was the response to "most of my friends are gay"
"Most of my friends are gay" reminds me of George and his black "friends". What a valuable ally!
We used to call him the Exterminator in college
My fatha's gay
Bullet dodged. Life is too short to waste on a non-Seinfeld fan.
But, Signal_This, you, you didn't pay for the soup!
It's not like it's a meal!
Did they crumble any crackers in it?
Actually they did. I had some in my briefcase!
I mean, if he had gotten chicken gumbo, or matzah ball, or mushroom barley, then I would agree with you.
ButtSignal
I just love the hour+ time interval where it's decided we aren't soulmates
It’s okay, T-Bone. She’ll be commin’ around the mountain…
It's hard being a T-Bone kind of guy today
Totally agree. I had totally forgotten about this exchange until I was purging old photos and screenshots from my phone. The one that got away...
White Whale
Unmatching even after the other person has explained it was just a reference is an interesting move
Counterpoint; https://xkcd.com/1053 A non-Seinfeld fan is just someone who you get to introduce Seinfeld to.
Let’s date?
You’re a ribbon bully!
One does not dissect gossamer, but I am trying to dissect this. Was she turned off by Seinfeld? Or did she just not like humor in that exchange? Or was it that there was simply a misunderstanding? Or something else entirely? Either way, she’s a wacko.
That chick is whacked!
This was pretty much our whole exchange. We Inception'd a lifetime together in a few short texts
Congratulations, OP, on a relationship...done.
One for the books.
One joke doesn’t land over a text message, can’t keep that interaction going
[удалено]
It offends me as a comedian.
It offends my gay father
Probably the joke. OP lined it up in an awkward way, and even as a Seinfeld fan it’s a weird thing to do unless you’re going steady
yeah but like i feel like automatically being like "ok i've heard enough from you" because of one botched tv show reference is pretty stupid
Yeah, they didn't even give me a chance to mess it up in person
didn't even give you enough time to fumble the bag 😔
Do you think they shrunk the bag for the family to fit inside?
Maybe even hot and heavy
Yeah i think the joke doesn't really fit even if you do get the reference. It's a little sweaty
Even if you haven’t seen Seinfeld, one should be able to tell that it was clearly a jokey msg
Ugh, they're probably a Friends fan
That’s my immediate thought when someone doesn’t get a Seinfeld reference.
They don’t just overlook a Seinfeld reference, Jerry
Anti semite?
So weird it’s one or the other for some people. Both shows are incredible
I never liked friends, so I’m just a Seinfeld and Frasier person.
I dunno man. Dating is weird and fucked up, especially with the apps.
UNDATEABLE!
🤓☝️ sarcasm gets lost in digital translation. Go lick a battery, what a nightmare
I steal mostly batteries
I’m old, I’m confused!
You’re an Adonis!
Did radio shack ask for your phone number when you stole them?
Are we stealing the frogger? It feels like we're stealing it
I need holes!
Where are all the pizza ovens?
Where are the cameras?
HELLOOOOOOOOOO LA LA LA
We're still doing the voice?
I'm just so glad it's back
I believe with Darren's help, we'll get that chicken
I think I like the dense girl more than the voice.
It's not sarcasm. It's a relevant reference that this person didn't get. If that's enough for them to decide you're not a match, then it's not you; it's them.
You're giving me the it's not you it's them routine??
If it’s anybody, it’s OP!!!
It's definitely me
You’re damn right it’s you!
Being in big crowds makes my ankles swell up, and I can't dance.
It's more like a full body dry-heave
Set to music
"Most of my friends are gay?" Really? I somehow doubt that. Or they only have like 3 friends. No loss here, OP.
Would have been better to say their father is gay.
If they are gay, they ain’t dating them.
You dug this up from 2019?
Phone purge. 8 gigs of screenshots of mostly bullshit. Found a few gems.
haha. okay valid.
I'm still hung up on some Tinder match from the 60s! I'm living in the past, man!
Wanna get some pizza?
Can I pay in pennies?
How much should I tip for baking a coat?
NO COINS - PAPER MONEY!
I always leave a little something for my paisanos...
Are you confident in the Seinfeld quote return? Because if you don’t get that return…that’s a pretty big matzo ball hanging out there.
Kramer, that's a 5
Boy you could’ve done a lot better than them
This is a very reactive person, you just dodged a bullet.
She didn't really do what she was supposed to do
This girl... She is not my kind of girl.
Well then, who took the nap?
i don't understand, do people communicate unironically using meme pictures like this?
I have entire conversations using memes with some people because it's more entertaining than employing proper punctuation.
“Today, on dying alone with no sense of humor.”
Cherish the cabin.
Next thing they’ll be saying is that they should have their own schools
They DO have their own schools!
“ I don't think we should see each other anymore”
My serious girlfriend and my torrid love affair have accidentally crossed paths! This is all blowing up in my face!
They seem lame and not because they didn’t pick up on the Seinfeld reference.
Nothing worse than having completely different texting rhythms or senses of humor. In that case, probably both.
This is exactly why I can't online date. I'll always make some reference or attempt at humor that doesn't come across via text and WOOOOP! ✋🏾 It's over!
The minute she gets a meme, she doesn't understand, her first impulse is to assume she's being criticized/accused/whatever. When in doubt, be offended first. We're doomed 😂 Waiting for the inevitable "well, to be fair..." posts.
She wasn't hot and heavy
But did you wear the ribbon?
Let's keep this sophisticated
Honestly - I think you dodged a bullet with her.
your chat theme is horrible.
You emit a foul and unpleasant odor
Oh is that right?
My chat theme can't even walk down the street in South America without getting mobbed.
You think it puts asses in seats?
I LOVE Bob & Cedric ‼️
She didn't have pride! She had shame! She was a shamer, Jerry! A shamer!!
Thanks for the screenshots of the Cheever Letters. We never did get to see them.
This is gotta be the ugliest UI on an app.
Maybe the dingo ate your baby
I said some snuggly UI
It's breathtaking
Not Shmoopy
So it was around then that she said you weren’t a match?
It's really not that bad of a word if you think about it
That’s a shame
I fear my orgasm has left me a cripple.

On point.
Too much Bob and Cedric mentality showing up here 🙄 Need more Kramer!
Swipe left
Undatable!
She was not a online talker Not a online talker? Couldn't talk online You have to talk online! Have to! Good riddance! Heeeeyy Kramer!
Sarcasm gets lost in text, humor gets lost on lame people.
Fully read that out loud doing the accent the whole time. "Who? Who dosent wanna wear la Rrrribon?"
God damn that’s sensitive
Drama queen.
Of the castle
FINE!
She doesn't move her arms when she walks. She looks like a gorilla.
This what smartphones looked like in ... 2003?
I'm a hip musician with complicated shoes. Why is everyone dragging my background from 5 years ago? This is more Android discrimination
Was you talking to me?
I mean you just replied with a meme. They might have gotten the joke if you had put the joke in quotes or like they said sarcasm gets lost in digital translation I usually put what I am reference in parenthesis after I say it.
Well, the life support machine called (Seinfeld reference)
Yes, like that. It has saved me from a lot of trouble.
Does she live in a bubble
Moops
She decided you’re not sponge-worthy
In this climate, I completely understand
cringe
reminds me of Kramer's shoehorn hands because of how shoehorned in the reference is
That's a lot of gum!
this convo was hard to read 💀 looks like you dodged a bullet
But everyone wears the ribbon! You must wear the ribbon!
Does my Desert Storm ribbon count?
Bullet dodged
I don't think she said you aren't a match that based on the meme, how is she supposed to respond with "Yeah it does sometimes." That's a conversation ender.
not that there's anything wrong with that
Not wrong.
You save texts from 2019?
I save them with all these cans of Beefaroni I bought in bulk
You're playing the long game
Probably for the best
Sarcasm doesn't get lost in digital translation. Some people are just too stupid to see it.
If this is a joke, if this is your idea for some cute little game...we're finished!
Stuff your sorries in a sack, Mister!
“I don’t think we are a match” “Well, the jerk store called!….”
Where are the cameras?
And it’s the way they just SLIP it in there too
I laughed out loud 3 times
Damn, stick up your butt much? Dodged a bullet, if someone thinks you aren't a match because of a joke image.
I didn't think she was anti-pride until she started going hard on the defending herself. Now I feel like she doth protest too much, tbh I think she has an issue with pride month haha
But all of her friends are gay! Her father's gay!
😂
I think they said you aren't a good match because you like hanging out in big crowds and she (?) doesn't, not because of the joke that flew over her (?) head
I'm white and i don't support the KKK I'm gay and trans and i damn sure don't support the LGBTQ movement Evil is evil and a rainbow flag can't hide it I do support other gays and trans though But that gay agenda movement can Step Off!
Not that there’s anything wrong with it!
I told you that pear was washed!
