this has been on my mind a lot. I follow some lesbian meme shitposting groups and there’s tons of memes that are just like “This girl looked at me and I died and then she smiled at me and I came back to life” and I just cannot think of any cishet men’s spaces that bring that have that level of absolutely dorky dysfunctional love for women. And, like, cishet men, their whole thing is supposed to be being in to women, and that just strikes me as really weird that there’s not an equivalent. Like the closest I can think of is wife guy memes but that’s just one wife, usually.
Do any spaces like that exist? Is it even possible given the way gender works in society?
The lack of this space for cishet men is heavily related to my affinity for lesbian spaces online. I tend to observe but don’t participate in them because I don’t consider myself a lesbian, but I relate a lot to the way they tend to express their affection for each other. I love my wife so fucking much and it really seems to alienate me from my cishet male friends. I’ve been with my wife for over a decade and I’m still so crazy about her but a lot of them seem to barely like their partners. I just don’t understand. I’m in a very straight-passing relationship because of how masculine I present and people have always just pointed out how different our relationship seemed.
he/they so maybe it doesn’t count but fwiw i am heavily pro wifeguy. i might even consider myself Wifeguy Aspiring. might even go so far as to say that you are, in fact, goals
Oooo I’ve never been goals before. That feels nice
