    This isn’t even simping, this is like condensed anime cringe converted into a pickup line. Which might work, I guess. I still occasionally see girls with that anime nose shine makeup so there might be a market for a “nothing personel” sigma

      I read it divorced dad energy, the kind who is old enough to have watched Akira, but was too busy jerking off in the corner of his frat house to do so.

        I saw it as a cheesy compliment with an added layer of cheesy humour.
        And most people like compliments and cheesy jokes.

        But then again I also saw the top comment as an Andrew Tate-ish, “I’d rather be an incel than attempt to compliment a woman”, so what do I know…

          A test (I just made up) to see which is the incel comment: which one most-readily accepts a “m’lady?”

          The fact that a woman of your caliber is on Hinge speaks poorly of the men in our generation, M’LADY. I’m sorry for them. Let me take you out and apologize in person.

            Its not possible to genuinely compliment a stranger without putting in a lot of effort, which is creepy. Compliments should be for your friends and family, not thrown away freely in the desperate hope of making a connection. Should this opinion put me in the company of actual, human slave owner Andrew Tate??

            Four score and seven years ago, m’lady…

            To be, or not to be…m’lady

            Once upon a midnight dreary, m’lady…

            Seems legit…

              The last two seem at least plausible. Both huge nerds. And Lincoln probably wanted more of Joshua Speed than society allowed, so…kinda, maybe?

              brother. the phrase is unheard of there? the place where people live in medieval castles has no equivalent phrase you say? Nothing springs forth in your mind, truly, bestowing honorifics is such an American concept that no one in your entire nation has heard of the phrase: “MY LADY”. I swear to allah, that I will grab you through this screen with both hands and just shake you to hear the sound of two baked beans rattling around in that vacuous cave between your ears you tea swilling nonce.
