Don’t think you’d get anyone responding under the age of 60, unless she’s looking for a dilf
i would say autistic ppl, but they probably would be more focused on the planes than the woman
Never underestimate the power of infodumping a special interest
There are what a thousand or so real WW2 planes left? There are 4 billion woman. Clearly the planes should be the priority given their scarcity.
My 3 yo son is interested in ww2 planes, this passion is inter-generational.
I’m guessing he’s been directly shown a lot of ww2 planes… never had a chance, oh well.
He prefers movies on planes, trains, tanks, excavators, etc. than e.g. nature or national geographic movies. I am not sure whether this is age-related, or I biased my child 🫣
“I’ve tried to date this plane. Still don’t know how old it is”
“such smooth metalwork! Almost as smooth as my brain”
So do we like the mansplaining or information dumps? I’m on team information dump.
I mean it’s polite to ask what she knows about it first. I mean mansplaining is rude, but it’s also just kind of annoying to have to explain things to people who already know it. Much better to have a conversation and skip that part so you can just get to talking on a level playing field.
Well the issue with that is how I’ll encounter someone who tells me they already know all about it and then they go acting like they know absolutely nothing.
My current META for this is just saying “Do you know about <thing>?” wait for their response and if they know we’re done! If they say “No” I then ask “Do ya wanna hear about it? Approx listening time <x> minutes!” and respect their answer.
It’s about etiquette and giving them a choice. You have to be prepared for them to say “no” to hearing about that thing you’d like to info dump about. It’s not that dissimilar to getting consent if you think about it, it’s rude to just start shoving your information into their brainhole, so to speak lol
I kinda like the way you say stuff.
Thanks!
Just found it easier to not talk to anyone, IRL, who I can’t trust to not assume the worst things about me.
I’ve determined that it’s totally and completely excellent when they assume the worst. Bullet dodge me!
mf cant write for shit. I almost had an aneurysm reading that
That just means that your brain is weak. This is hardly the worst English I’ve seen today alone. Not to mention the abbreviation of mf that you used.
your meds pal, take them
This would work on me if I wasn’t just going to have a pleasant discussion about the airplanes and then tell her to have a nice day, because I’m not going to just assume she’s into me because we both like old airplanes.
An unaccompanied woman in an aircraft museum?
You’re right. It’s clearly a trap.
That’s fine, that’s what we want you to do.
We use the purely platonic conversation to get a sense of what level of compatibility there might be. Something physical, something more, what are we feeling.
Sometimes the companionship of a conversation is enough and we’re both happy to say “this was a lovely chat, bye, have a nice day”
But occasionally… “thanks for chatting to me, hey I don’t suppose you’d want to come over one day and check out the recreation prop kittyhawk my brother and I are building? I’m stuck in the shop alone on Saturday if you’d like to keep me company and tell me more about old airplanes.”
Honestly, if I met someone there I’d want to make friends with her, so that she can tell all her friends what a great guy I am.
If she wants me she can always just tell me. And, at a minimum, girls are easier to look at and generally smell better than guys so I prefer women as friends to men.
I once got a tattoo from an artist who was cute and, in hindsight, clearly into me. Just the two of us in the shop, showing me photos of other designs while leaning very close, etc.
I commended her artwork, paid for the ink and left. Still kick myself thinking about it, we are not the most intuitive creatures.
And you didn’t because then you’d just be another customer hitting on someone who’s just trying to do her job. Just like I’d just be another asshole hitting on a woman who’s just trying to enjoy airplanes.
Similar story for me
I was in a hostel in Berlin and I’d had a fun time with this girl and a few others in a bar the night before. She had a nice tattoo on her arm and I complimented on it, she then took off most of her clothes and showed me her other tattoos but I didn’t think they were as nice though I politely said they were nice. I then went out to get breakfast leaving this poor girl in her underwear
You didn’t miss out on anything.
If that’s how unclearly she expresses sexual attraction just imagine trying to get consent out of her.
Aw geez that smarts. Lesson learned, if you ask a woman about her ink and she offers to show you more…ask to see more. It’s been working pretty well for the gf and I, she’s got em all over.
Haha I had pretty big self esteem issues at the time.
Funnily enough my wife doesn’t have any tatts, maybe I should encourage her haha
“Show me all the places you don’t have tattoos”
Getting hit on by business people is very normal, because people who flirt back routinely become repeat customers.
25% of Lemmy users are incapable of understanding this meme without the inclusion of a comma, and they seem to think this reflects more on the intelligence of the meme’s author, rather than their own inadequacies as a reader. They take this opportunity to effusively mansplain the importance of proper punctuation to her, and… Wait a minute… She’s a genius!
I hate that I saw the wooden thing behind her as an among us character

Look confused in WW2 section

Get hit on by a bunch of Wehraboos
Damnit.
Either Wehraboos or Non-Credible Defense posters
Her odds are good, but the goods are odd.

It’s like anything adjacent to weapons or martial arts. The “experts” will pour out of the woodwork and bombard you with AKSHUALLY’s…even though all you did was post a silly meme.
It’s not mansplaining if they ask though, and standing around looking confused is clearly permission!
Accepting DMS from girls here in this Sub should totally work.
On side note if you are a cute girl DMs are open
You’re going to get so many DMs from Russian singles who will come if you pay for their travel
I had to read that 5 times to figure out there as a missing period between “working” and “time”.
Its still funny though. While we’re here in this comment, let me tell you some fascinating things about the B-29 you’re standing next to. Did you know that during the war…
It’s working time!
I’m noticing a disturbing lack of punctuation recently.
I’m noticing a disturbing lack of punctuation recently.
With inflation raising the costs of everything, should we really be surprised that people can’t afford to waste expensive punctuation on memes?
Yeah it’s especially annoying when people write long winding complicated sentences and use no punctuation signs whatsoever it’s so infuriating!
He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic, so that no one had the chance to interrupt him. But really quite hypnotic.
I don’t… know which, is worse… too much punctuation, or, not enough punctuation…
Definitely none. While your comment is annoying, at least it’s legible without needing to be read 17 times.
Also, the run on sentences aren’t that bad it’s the multiple sentences with a missing period between the two that suck.
I read it 5 times, and couldn’t understand it until I saw your comment. So thank you!
Thank you
Broaden your selection by standing in the WWI section as well
is she looking for captain america?
Do they have any variants of the B-17 in there? That’s the OG version of the knock-off known as the Lancaster.
This looks like the Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH. According to their site, they do have a B-17
“the WWII section” of what, IKEA?
Dude’s never been to a museum
Looks like Wright-Patterson in Dayton. Amazing place.
was just down there recently for the first time in a few years.
Great place, highly recommend it. Lot’s of cool stuff in there.
If you haven’t checked out that section of IKEA, it’s pretty great. The aircrafts take ages to build though.
Maybe the French revolution stuff is easier. I hear guillotines might be making a comeback.
A do-it-yourself airplane kit would be pretty amazing, time be damned!
Aerospace engineer, 16-40$ per hour. I hope the benefits include an actual salary.
The WWII section of The Airplane Store, of course!
Yes, the weii section of ikea rofl
Thanks for clarification! Didn’t know this even existed. I will check it out next time!
Edit: went to IKEA and I’m very disappointed. Didn’t find the section and when I asked, they thought it was a joke or something. I showed them your comment and they said lemmy is famous for spreading misinformation and you in particular. I will check everything twice in the future. Thanks for nothing
Yeah Ikea knows me, fears my bad advice, face it you got had
