Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

You think "ShesLaurenK" with the woman in the profile pic is probably a guy rather than a woman named Lauren K? I'm curious as to why tbh.

Does it really matter, when you see others as inferior to you? Surely the next date appreciates being belittled next time they go to an escape room.

I'm just curious how you saw that name (and I know you did, because it was typed by you in the comment I replied to) and thought "Yup, 'She's Lauren K," that's definitely a male, gotta use his correct pronouns." Not exactly the logical conclusion to make there.

Then read again, until you find the answer.

The answer is you don't have one and want to pretend you do, that's on you.

I did answer. How does Eade describe the person investigated dating in escape rooms?
I am using her investigation as my reference.
Notice ShesLaurenK doesn't pronoun themselves.

So, because the respondent has met someone before who also liked escape room dates but that person was male, that means everyone who likes escape room dates must then be male, and therefore OP must be as well?

I've met women who like basketball, does that mean everyone who likes basketball is a woman?

You really don't like reading?
Eade met with escape room staff to find out the tweet was real, and that tweet belong to a guy, not a gal.

Uhh, no u. Where the hell are you getting that from the reply? That's an absolutely wild interpretation lol.

Yeah, that doesn't say it that some people who worked at an escape room met OP, it's saying some people who worked at an escape room met a different person one time. There are more than two people in existence.
