Man Figures That The Source of His Relationship Probelms Is GF Landing On The Wrong Side Of TikTok

We have a lot to thank social media for. Over the years, countless people have reunited with friends and family, and some have even found partners through apps that sit in our back pockets.

But denying how harmful social media can be is like putting on a blindfold and trying to find a needle in a haystack. The good and the bad go hand in hand. And surely, we’ve all said, “I’m gonna delete my socials,” but realistically, it’s almost impossible to actually do it, and one man on r/BoyDinnerDiaries shared his delicious-looking burrito, along with a story about how he wished his girlfriend was one of those people leaving the algorithms behind.

    In the end this has *nothing* to do with gender. And also, they must be very unhappy in general to go looking for fights about quite futile issues. True, one can comment on the small issue of course. But picking a fight over a misplaced kitchen item, while they don't do it themselves is very petty. And if *that* is your worst flaw....then it sounds like she's looking for a justification for ending the relationship

    A guy who doesn't use the internet except for posting (but not reading) Reddit? Someone who understands the idea of both incompetence and weapons, but can't figure out how they work in a sentence? Despite this being complete BS, I do want to make the point that anyone who is hypercritical and unwilling to discuss issues respectfully, isn't healthy enough to be in a relationship - Independent of gender and politics - even if this is entirely an incel fantasy.
