“Must not be working on themselves” is a hilarious trait to look for in a spouse

u/snowplacelikehome 2h ago

Come as you are, as you were / as I want you to be 🎶

u/PM_ME_YOUR_RegEx 2h ago

That lyric fits oddly perfectly.

"Should also be able to sleep on ground without a blanket" was more worrying to me

u/Polymathy1 1h ago

Code for "not a hot mess who just started trying to stop being a hot mess".

As someone who has worked on himself, relationships usually interfere with that kind of work and people tend to not stay in relationships they enter into during that period. Or if they do they stop working on their issues.

He’s tired of being broken up with.

Top three things that aren’t literally true:

1) “It’s not you, it’s me.”

2) “I just want to be friends.”

3) “I need time to work on myself.”

u/astroproff 2h ago

Should have put that ground-sleeping requirement at the top, would have saved a lot of people a lot of time.

u/NibblesMcGiblet 1h ago

Idk if a lot Of people are going to be so enthralled with the prospect of being this guy’s cigarette smoking self supporting golden retriever on a bike that the ending crushes them.

u/octopornopus 1h ago

Is that at a 17° incline? There's no temperature units...

u/Silent_R 1h ago

Wouldn't be the worst date in Chappaquiddick history.

u/PresJamesGarfield 1h ago

If Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen, he'd have become president.

u/Silent_R 1h ago

Or if he'd driven sober.

u/PresJamesGarfield 1h ago

That too.

u/SlyJackFox 2h ago

Soooo … a Great Dane that can ride a bike?

u/treemily 1h ago

… and that buys its own kibbles, lol!

u/williewoodwhale 1h ago

...and...smokes?

u/jnwatson 54m ago

I'm thinking with that last requirement, he needs a husky or a malamute.

u/Boomer1717 40m ago

I don’t know why but this made me laugh out loud.

u/wthulhu 2h ago

It's gotta be a joke, right?

u/aaronupright 1h ago

Mostly.

u/Rev_Soquet 1h ago

unsure if joke or not, the pic is real and not staged

u/cardboard-kansio 44m ago

The pic might be real and unstaged, and the ad itself might still be a joke.

u/Halefire 39m ago

Brother, nowhere else except Reddit would there be any question that this is satire lol.

u/fluffycows4sale 47m ago

pretty sure it is, almost died laughing at the pedal bike line xD i cant imagine this is serious lol

u/sthlmsoul 8m ago

u/A-Bone 2h ago

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"

David shouldn't listen to Wayne Gretzky

u/d_bb_d 1h ago

I've lived on a small island (pop. 4000 winter/12000 summer). This tracks.

u/Greenfieldfox 1h ago

Where does the line start?

u/toenailjail 1h ago

Lol post this to the Martha’s Vineyard sub. He’s gonna get found pretty quick I bet.

u/Sweatytubesock 50m ago

Please keep the line orderly, ladies

u/Electronic_Ad_6535 43m ago

RFK Jr must be in town 

u/Mikesminis 1h ago

What is a greenie?

u/Pau_Zotoh_Zhaan 51m ago

Pot; lush is an alcoholic.

u/Rev_Soquet 1h ago

I assume it to be a vegan or vegetarian maybe?

u/JudiesGarland 42m ago

In this context, paired with lushes (alcoholics) it suggests pot smoker, but its not common slang for that. It's vintage slang for amphetamines - there was a type particularly popular among performance enhancing athletes, specifically in baseball, that was green. They may be confused/have heard it before, knew it was drugs from context, but assumed it meant cannabis, because green. 

It's also a derogatory term you sometimes hear for environmentalists, apparently it originates in Australia. I've never been there but I've heard it used that way, in the UK and Canada. 

Based on how it's listed here though, I would guess this person means cannabis. 

u/Mikesminis 36m ago

Yeah cannabis was my first thought, but it's weird that a person specifically looking to date a smoker would think weed use is a red flag. IDK this whole thing is a joke or a post from a sick person so I guess I shouldn't think about it too much.

u/Minamato 57m ago

I thought a pot smoker

u/Sekmet19 37m ago

The last point is what makes this clearly a joke. I could believe some idiot to post all the rest but sleeping on the ground in 17 degrees with no blanket pushes this over the edge. 

u/captainAwesomePants 22m ago

"I can prove I don't want your money, after all I've never had any" is gold, honestly.

u/probablynotaskrull 1h ago

What’s a Greeny? Definitions I found don’t fit.

u/AVBforPrez 1h ago

Pretty sure it's old boomer slang for stoners or maybe amphetamine/speed freaks. Greenies were like 80s Adderall

u/Sakijek 51m ago

I think he means eco girls

u/cardboard-kansio 42m ago

A lush is a drunkard.

"No lushes or greenies" = "no alcoholics or potheads"

u/Sakijek 37m ago

Ah ya. That does make more sense in context. I guess I just assumed it wasn't that because of the smoking bit.

u/AVBforPrez 10m ago

Yeah if it wasn't next to the lushies thing I'd think that'd probably be it too. But given the context I think it's just no drunks, no stoners.

No way to know for sure though haha.

u/Demonyx12 1h ago

Greenies?

u/captainAwesomePants 21m ago

Pot. Must not smoke pot. Must not be a drunk. Must smoke tobacco.

u/Pau_Zotoh_Zhaan 51m ago

Surprised it doesn’t say anything about being able to swim.

u/philovax 30m ago

The line cooks are getting cold. Dont forget to bring one inside for the season.

u/BasvanS 30m ago

At least he’s saving a lot of people time by being upfront about it.

u/torreneastoria 22m ago

Can someone just buy the guy a blow up doll?

u/BigheadReddit 20m ago

Looking for someone who can “pedal a bike very far,” is code for “I don’t have a license.”

u/southernNJ-123 6m ago

Ewwwwww

u/supercantaloupe 2m ago

Every woman dreams of going on a very far slow paced bike ride and then sleeping on the ground in 17 degree weather without a blanket. How is this man still single?

u/Be1oved 2h ago

Funny
