Proposition: If x is good, then x is taken. Fact: there exists an example that is bad and single. The fact doesn't really prove the proposition, it just doesn't disprove it. Even from a Bayesian perspective, it would only provide very weak evidence... I think?
Wait a minute... she is single too, right!? RIGHT!?!?
Actually that's what I understood the comic meme was about.
I thought he just got upset by her saying she's not good about herself. You know, like "Come on, don't say that!"Just shows how well I can understand everything...
The classic gender stereotypical joke is that women are selfish, so she doesn't "see" him (as a viable partner) bc while he's there, he's not "one of the good ones". Then, regardless of whether he is and she simply does not see it, or perhaps he is legit not, either way he's upset at her brazenness - like even if it were true, why rub it in his face like that? Just keep those kinds of thoughts to herself!
Oh shit I think you might be onto something
With a comment like that, she ain't one the good ones.
At the risk of overanalyzing a web comic, I feel it's worth cautioning that this screams toxic nice guy syndrome.
I'm gonna bring this up every time I see it brought up.
Why are men not allowed to criticize the current dating situation/women at all?
Every time a guy brings up how modern dating sucks there's always someone calling him an incel or something of the sort.
It just proves the point that dating in the modern day for men sucks. We literally can't even have an opinion without being insulted and belittled.
She's still a jerk for phrasing it that way in his face. Rejection hurts bad enough without then salting the wound.
I mean, sure, the girl in the comic is super insulting. But obviously what she said wouldn't happen in real life. Overall, the comic just feels like a mythical scenario (which is completely cool for a comic) that's embracing toxic nice guy mentality (less cool).

I mean, I'm not single, so it seems true 😎.
She just doesn't know me yet.
Ooh that would sting
