Maybe re-edited later but this pic predates genai that makes readable text by years if not decades. Maybe just different brands of letters scavenged for the lightbox
Definitely staged. What wife, upon discovering she’s being cheated on, finds two friends to help her make a humourous sign like this, and then waits for them to be at McDonald’s?
As for everything else? Who knows. These women do look more attractive than this man from behind, but it’s hard to judge the entirety of a person from a picture, even if it’s a good picture. I’ve seen less attractive people with more attractive people (though usually not multiple). There’s a lot of ways to be attractive besides just looks.
All 4 women look hot yet he looks like a sack of potatoes. How. I’m used to hot guys acting like assholes and average guys being the better partner. This guy is a glitch in the matrix?
Fat people have fluffy faces. Anorexic people have skull faces. Neither are attractive. Anything in between have normal faces. The faces I prefer are in that category. Not all women in the picture qualify as material I fall for, but they do have facial qualities many do like.
My partner has a little bit extra yet I drown inside when I see her face, I think she’s in the top when it comes to hotness. Not body wise, but I care about that less.
I mean, hotness is subjective. It’s fairly normal to find physically fit people attractive, and there’s nothing really inherently wrong about that. Plenty of people also find heavier set people attractive, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that either.
The women standing in this picture could be in a polycule situation with the dude at the table and he could be stepping out on all of them with the seated woman. It could be a group of single women playing a mean-spirited prank on their friend’s lame first date. It could also be completely fake and made for attention.
I know there are a lot of monogamous people out there who talk shit about polyamory, largely out of ignorance or envy, but there’s no need to mirror that energy back at them. It won’t change their minds or stop the shit talk and it just increases the level of negativity surrounding the conversation. Remember, the sweetest revenge against your haters is to live your best life.
Have you considered the third possibility that I mentioned? That it might be fake and for attention?
the sexual liberal partner
You’re aware that polyamorous relationships require clear communication and boundaries to not become abusive, correct? Just like monogamous ones do? From your word choice when talking about a potential cheater, I’m getting the impression that you don’t actually know what a healthy relationship is let alone what a healthy polyamorous relationship is.
…but judging by your other responses in this thread a productive conversation is not in the offing, so I’ll just end my part of it here and wish you a good day.
I have zero issue with people expressing themselves sexually in relationships that aren’t non Monogamous, but eople should be in the loop on what kind of relationship you’re in with them.
I personally wouldn’t want to be in a non-monogamous relationship. Even when I was single I didn’t like dating multiple girls at the same time.
When I meet my wife I had been on a few dates with someone and had a date planned for the next day. The person I had been seeing called off our date morning of and that’s when I asked my coworker who introduced us to give her my number.
I’ve had FWBs but didn’t date others while we were hooking up. Was down to hangout and have sex with them but not build a romantic relationship but I was still monogamous with them and all I asked is they give me the choice of they start sleeping with someone else
There is nothing wrong in wanting sexual exclusivity, in the same way there is nothing wrong in wanting more than one partner.
Seeing either as “oppression” is limited mindset.
reread what, your comments about how not wanting a partner to cheat on you somehow equals sexual oppression? wouldn’t policing what kind of relationships people are allowed to have (aka what you’re trying to do) be closer to domineering?
they police that the guy is lying to his wife and having a secret relationship behind her back, and they’re very right to police that. cheating on a person you supposedly love for life is vile and disgusting and the wife has every right to be upset that her husband is secretly pursuing romantic partners behind her back (and judging by the sitting woman’s expression, she likely doesn’t know, so he’s likely hiding his marriage from her too).
is posing with a sign in public and making a scene distasteful? yeah, might be. but it’s nowhere as bad as cheating.
that’s also assuming that the situation is real, which i doubt. but it applies to all cheaters in general regardless of this specific image.
That’s a broken link, but am I correct in assuming that you are claiming the high rate of divorce in the US compared to countries that practice polygamy is due to some kind of expectation of monogamy and not due to something like the legality of no fault divorce?
Is it sexual oppression if both parties consented to the relationship being predicated on monogamy?
“McCheating on my wife,” and not “McLying to my [sexually liberated] partner.”
Again, I’m a bit confused on what your definition of sexually liberated really means.
Let’s not deny there are profit incentives in these relationships
I don’t think many relationships are started with profit incentive on their mind. Plus, no one in the US can force you to agree to a monogamist marriage if you didn’t first agree to it.
It is sexual oppression to demand others exclusive sexual rights to a parner, and use law and state force to dominate it.
Imo oppression implies a lack of consent. I don’t see oppression happening when two people consent to enter a legal agreement based on mutual monogamy. I would feel less okay if you were not allowed to break that contract at any point, or if the penalties for breaking the contract were unknown or unusually extreme. Or even if there were no ways to legally modify the contract to include consentual exceptions before entering the agreement.
How are you confused about consentual liberated sexual societies? My definition is quite anarchist.
In your last comment it seemed to imply that we were already in a liberated sexual society, which seemed to be untrue by your terms.
Then “gold digger” would not be a term, esp. in family & divorce litigation. Please update your thoughts on current year matrimony incentives.
I don’t think there are a significant amount of gold diggers out there. That seems to be more of a concept that is amplified by the patriarchal aspects of social hierarchy. Plus there are prenuptial agreements that both parties could consent to if they were really that worried. I think a more legitimate concern when it comes to marriage finances is how a lot of labour that women conduct in the relationship isn’t financially recognized.
parents still sell children to marriage against their consent. So I urge you to remove this “thought” from your mind.
I have been predicating all of my arguments based on consenting adults, and children cannot consent. I think we can all agree no one was arguing in favor of child marriage, and you just inserted a fairly large strawman argument.
Yeah but it’s too much redpilled jargon to be understood by a simple mortal like me. So I’ll leave you to it since it’s starting to sound a lot like “anyone that doesn’t have my specific and niche point of view is an enemy and must be educated” and I don’t feel like being educated by someone that uses this amount of emoticons
I don’t think anyone was trying to claim shaming culture wasn’t still around. I’m not sure what all entails to your use of the term monogamous domineers.
Is the wife domineering over the husband by divorcing him? Wouldn’t that just allow him to be sexually liberated to sleep with whom he wants?
What is the alternative in this scenario? For the man to continue being sexually liberal and force his wife to either adopt his views or be in a relationship structure she does not consent too?
wives, 3+, are using this spectacle to shame the dishonest man. How do you not see shaming culture is dominating both, the relationship, the public, and the legal system?
Again, I never made the argument that shame culture wasn’t widely prevalent, influential, or good.
I gave 4 examples already, on how to liberally praxis liberal sexual autonomy, and still deal with a dishonest individual. I am not sure how I can make it more boomer literate for you. May I also suggest you research modern day sexual liberation research on your own?
This comment was made before you specified your criticism was about the concept and not aimed solely a particular individual in this example.
keep on educating yourself on dominant state monogamist enforcement oppressions
Again… When have I defended the action of the state?
leave my sexually liberated polycule alone.
I haven’t even been critical of your sexual inclusivity, nor would I want to do anything to your relationships? I don’t even think the state should really be involved in how we organize our relationships. Short of that happening, I think the state should expand legal benefits/protections to anyone who wants them.
Also, I’m not the one down voting your responses. I’m not trying to be overly critical, I think you have a unique perspective and I’m just trying to comprehend fully what you are trying to say.
Eh, out of all political, social economic, and environmental issues we have today total sexual autonomy isn’t very high on the priority list. It’s more of a secondary issue to our patriarchal social hierarchy imo.
are they both eating happy meals?
Don’t look so happy to me.
If you order the Happy Meal cause you’re sad, is it still a Happy Meal?
A desperate attempt at happiness meal
A Hopeiness Meal
Gotta get them McSpookyBuckets
AI? The text on the sign looks off to me. I hate how I can’t just enjoy funny pictures anymore. Every fucking image needs to be scrutinized.
Maybe not AI but certainly fake.
Yes we all know, it’s on the internet you see.
Maybe re-edited later but this pic predates genai that makes readable text by years if not decades. Maybe just different brands of letters scavenged for the lightbox
Not AI, just fake the old fashioned way; it’s a staged “social experiment”
I was gonna say… they don’t look like a couple
if you look closer, every letter is printed on it’s own piece of paper and glued separately
Nah, this is an older image
How about funny (to you) videos? Source ↓ www.tiktok.com/…/7572224660868173086
At least have the decency to take your sidepiece out to eat some place classy like Little Caesar’s.
At least go to fazzoli’s, bitches love Italian
you found the one location where there’s a fat guy and four fit women.
too bad real life doesn’t have achievements like steam does.
that guy isnt particularly fat
Arm is obscuring how big the stomach is but there are signs.
Source: I can tell from some of the pixels and from having been quite fat in my time
That muffin top is pretty chunky. He must have a lot of money. Or this is staged/fake/bait.
Definitely staged. What wife, upon discovering she’s being cheated on, finds two friends to help her make a humourous sign like this, and then waits for them to be at McDonald’s?

plot twist both girlfriends end up dating each other and he eats alone at mcdonalds
Must have a gnarly personality to have women fight over his pudgy lil self.
All 4 women look hot yet he looks like a sack of potatoes. How. I’m used to hot guys acting like assholes and average guys being the better partner. This guy is a glitch in the matrix?
it’s rage bait for 14 year olds on tiktok and completely staged
Everyone in the picture is an actor. The joke on the sign is too well thought out for it to be a sudden ambush.
maybe my standards are skewed, dude has no cankles, no back boobs, no bingo wings and at least the remains of a haircut
cmon this is a Mcdicks, not a bistro on the Rue du Plat
Fixed that for you. Hope that helps clear things up.
I was looking at their faces rly. I don’t judge hotness by how thin women are.
And you can’t see his face at all.
I see his clothes, his hair. He’s a sack of potatoes.
His over the shoulder fannypack.
With carabiner-attached labubu no less.
(I can’t tell for sure, but I hope.)
Yes you do. Thin people have more attractive faces.
This is not true.
what
Fat people have fluffy faces. Anorexic people have skull faces. Neither are attractive. Anything in between have normal faces. The faces I prefer are in that category. Not all women in the picture qualify as material I fall for, but they do have facial qualities many do like.
My partner has a little bit extra yet I drown inside when I see her face, I think she’s in the top when it comes to hotness. Not body wise, but I care about that less.
Show her your comments in this thread lmao

Monogamy hysterics strike again⚡
Cheating can happen in polyamorous relationships as well.
yes
being in a polycule, id consider it cheating if a partner hid another relationship from me
[deleted]
Making a lot of assumptions here.
The women standing in this picture could be in a polycule situation with the dude at the table and he could be stepping out on all of them with the seated woman.

the problem with “cheating” is the dishonesty NOT the social unacceptability

Cheating is about breaking the agreement of the relationship. It’s more like breaking a promise than just lying.

I think that’s a bit patronizing, total sexual inclusivity is not a very large focus of anarchist literature as a whole.
In fact, Murray Bookchin is one of my favorite political writers.
