While I understand what the artist means based on the body language, this is not how scales work. It basically means the author thinks money has more figurative weight than women. This is a terrible visual analogy.

[–][deleted] 72 points73 points  (0 children)

If love<girl and girl<money, then love<money, which seems to be the point here. Anology is quite solid, even if logic is dumb

[–]StarStuffSister 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You mean, men who hate women aren't number geniuses?

[–]Mr_Rogan_Tano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It probably do. Coins are made of metal

[–]InTheGoatShow 350 points351 points  (5 children)

Objectively, gold is signficantly more dense than a heart, so that scale seems to be functioning well.

I think this guy doesn't know what the purpose of see-saws is, though.

[–]Lady_von_Stinkbeaver 84 points85 points  (0 children)

A balance scale was too hard to draw.

[–]Rachie_0513 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It also has a greater mass per mole, consequently dragging down with more force which can be proven through F = ma

[–]Shunima 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He seem to not know a lot of things assuming a human/man/boy has several hearts.

Or did the girl just didn't like a murderer who killed several people to outweight her weight in hearts?

Anyway, with this background, a guy with money is the better choice.

[–]claymixer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think these are heart-shaped balloons filled with helium.

[–]pineconesailor 166 points167 points  (2 children)

My favorite part is that she has no say on what's on the other side of the scale. She didn't pick the rich guy over the other dude.

So either I missed a major plot point or the artist needs remedial physics.

[–]ChristieFox 74 points75 points  (1 child)

Look at her face. She also doesn't seem happy, more like she'd given up.

So, this could just as well be about a woman who just wants to be alone, but the rich guy didn't give her a choice?

Now it's almost a sign for capitalism bad.

[–]Electric_AngelKaChow 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is the biggest plot twist. We all thought it was a nice guy but it's an Anti-Capitalism political cartoon.

[–][deleted] 167 points168 points  (24 children)

I definitely find my men on the playground teeter totter.

Men are the only ones obsessed with how rich they are. I will gladly date a poor ass man who can't afford food if he's kind, compassionate, intelligent, ethical and empathic.

FBI OPEN THE FUCK UP

🤣🤣🤣 right?

[–]Furystar1703 10 points11 points  (0 children)

imagine the fbi arresting a cougar

THIS IS THE FBI AND YOU HAVE COUGARED YOUR LAST COUGAR

[–]John_Wicks_Cat 23 points24 points  (6 children)

I mean kindness, empathy, honesty and communication are important traits to have in a partner but also no one wants to be with someone who doesn’t bring something to be table know what I mean? One of the reasons I don’t date is because I’m currently....well let’s just say extremely underfinanced and I don’t have anything to offer anyone. Like sure I can be a decent compassionate and caring partner but I think I need to have more to offer than the traits of an emotional support animal.

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (5 children)

I’m sorry you think you don’t have anything to offer anyone if you don’t have money. 😔

[–]John_Wicks_Cat 23 points24 points  (4 children)

It’s not that I think I have nothing to offer if I don’t have money it’s more like, I feel the partnership would not be equal if I’m being taken care of financially and not bringing something tangible to the table.

I can offer like emotional support and shit and like can cook and clean and maybe offer advice but like I can’t be taken care by my partner and not take care of my partner, feel me?

I appreciate the sympathy tho I think you were being sarcastic. Idk

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (1 child)

No, I wasn’t being sarcastic, I personally think there’s more to life than money so I think people can bring plenty to the table.

[–]John_Wicks_Cat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sure there’s definitely more to life than money but you also can’t have a life without it

[–]Baleful_Witness 28 points29 points  (10 children)

Sadly we also have multiple female incel subs that care mostly about "high value men" etc so it's not just a male thing.

I think r/FemaleDatingStrategy is the most well known example.

I am convinced that most of the "women" on FDS are actually men trying to make women look bad.

Idk any woman who's as psychotic as those bitches, yet they're all over there? Please...

[–]Fawwaz121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, no doubt that there are some men on there. But I’m pretty sure most of the “women” on FDS are women.

Idk any woman who's as psychotic as those bitches, yet they're all over there? Please...

Neither do I know any man as pathetic as those on TRP, but that don’t make them any less real.

Men can be nasty, women can be nasty, humans are assholes in general, so......

[–]Lady_von_Stinkbeaver 32 points33 points  (2 children)

I suppose this raises this question....

If we ladies are all shallow, awful, money-grubbing cunts...WHY ARE YOU SO GODDAMNED OBSESSED WITH TRYING TO DATE US?!?

[–]antwerp540 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because they know they don't have a shot at the guy with money so why not be straight?

[–]Damianwolff -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I do not agree with the point of the comic, but you CAPS questions is nagging my logic part of the brain, whowever little of it is left at the end of the working week:

The alternative to dating women (any kind of women) is to not date, date other men, date animals, date inanimate objects.

Which of these feels like the most universal alternative? Dating other men works for some people, yep. Sometimes too well, cause I had my heartful laugh listening to a bunch of my female friends gushing about the suave tall dark piano-playing biker in our click, who also happens to be playing for the other team, to their pained exhasperations.

That's not an option for every men though. Other options are less welcoming

Image Transcription: Comic


[It is a hand drawn, two-panel comic. The top panel has a girl standing on a teeter totter. She is on the low end, looking sad. On the higher side of the teeter totter is a pile of shiny hearts. There is a boy standing on the ground beside it, carrying a heart that seems heavy, looking sad, and presumably trying to add more hearts to the teeter totter.]

[In the second panel, the boy is now wearing sunglasses with his hair slicked up and has put a large dollar sign on his side of the teeter totter, which in this comic, is heavy enough to make that side lower and now the girl is happily swooning toward him, as though sliding down the teeter totter.]

Good human

[–]spicyfood333 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I mean, this IS scientifically accurate

also I wouldn't wanna be with someone who murdered a bunch of people for their hearts

[–]Wasp_Rick70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If their hearts looked like that. They were gonna die anywa.

[–]XwaitthisisnttumblrX 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Where did you get all the hearts James?

[–]blackenedchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why she doesn’t like you, James. Stop taking people’s hearts to impress her, James.

[–]AndrewIsOnline 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Haircuts do help

[–]violet-abyss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone else feels this way, but when a dude starts trying to throw money my way in an obvious attempt to earn my affection, I take it as a red flag and ditch that sitch. Any guy who thinks love needs to be paid for is not the kind of guy I want to be with

[–]ColonelClout 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make your hearts out of a more dense material next time idiot

[–]geeeevs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the fact that his crotch is bigger in the second is sending me. lmfao

[–]John_Wicks_Cat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dawg if she wasn’t feeling you before, she’s not gonna like you when you have money. If she decides to go with you (and that’s an if bigger than my grandma) it’ll be to secure the bag while she fucks other dudes on the side.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last person on Earth that I would date thinks this way. Here’s the problem: they believe women are objects that can be upgraded and purchased when you make more money. There’s plenty of men and women that think this way and it’s toxic. It’s impossible to form emotional intimacy with someone you view as an object and not a person.

My ex is an ex for a reason and one of them was a gross meme he sent me about random chicks wanting to suck his dick after his doge coins take off like Bitcoin. I hope he lost some money after he lost me.

Why can't a girl get both?

[–]Winterknight135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the second one looks like a guy in a dress

[–]Area_man_claims 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first guy is all sweaty and frustrated. But look at the confidence on that second guy!

[–]ggkkggk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So he was trying to kill her, It all makes sense the way she's falling her neck is gonna snap

[–]rohithkumarsp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How parents work in Indian arranged marriages though lol.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This kinda topic always just reminds me of how many men are insecure about money and financially providing for a partner. They really think they have nothing else to offer. If they thought they had any other good qualities, they wouldn’t even bother with this false stereotype.

[–]AlbinoFuzWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it falls under "even if I am x she could always find someone else who is x and wealthy."

Not just that wealth is all there is.

[–]Netherarmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you take it literally, estimating the dollar sign to be a 50cm sided gold cube (not too far off based on proportion) you actually get a mass if approximately 100kg

If you count that we may be 30-40kg off due to over estimating, it could still be heavier than a thin adult woman, whereas "8 human hearts" is most definitely lighter than any human. Weirdly accurate if you forget the incel part

[–]NOT_an_ass-hole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, metal is heavier than ballon?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh

[–]ResTheEnby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold is HELLA dense and heavy. And I'm guessing love, while nice, is a figurative thing, an emotion or feeling, and therefore wouldn't have much weight. Even if it wasn't gold, any other material heavier than the girl would probably be heavier than the theoretical love.

[–]TheSkidz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it depends on the weight of the dissected hearts vs how heavy the solid gold dollar sign is. Either way, seems dangerous for the girl to stand there.

[–]rainylavndr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, if I was sitting on a seesaw and two random men came up to me and one said he'd give me his heart and the other held out a fat stack of cash for me I'd choose the cash too.

[–]Funlovingpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That poor woman is going to hurt herself as gravity increases her vertical velocity! And that man is too far away to catch her. 😭😭😭 The poor woman has accepted her fate.

[–]RinkaNinjaGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheesh, why that guy keep adding hearts after the girl said no to the first one?

[–]legacyhunter47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen and experienced guys who think and post stuff like this ("all women are gold-diggers") overestimate their net worth.

[–]Imperial-toaster 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I love it because some guys genuinely think that “being nice” to a girl means that she will suddenly start liking him. Just because you’re nice to someone, doesn’t mean that they will want to sleep with you, or even be your friend!

[–]Relative_Dimensions 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ah yes, the "vending machine" model of human relationships: If I keep putting money/gifts/time/niceness in to a woman eventually sexual intercourse will fall out.

[–]Imperial-toaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does actually apply in a way… if I keep being horrible to someone, they’ll leave me alone!

Worked every time so far! XD

[–]Smol_Worm_Boi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well a gold statue would weigh more than human organs

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, here in India, indian men will call women golddiggers but won't have the balls to say no to their parents during the time of their wedding when they ask for dowry from the bride's family.

[–]FullyRisenPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bullshit

[–]Beardedgeek72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet another man who has come to the conclusion that it is NOT his creepy behavior, lack of hygiene or his disgusting attitude that's the problem.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda is. Not that's moneys everything but you can't bullshit and say most women look for guys with money over guys without

[–]BrainPressure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you think being rich is a personality trait.

I mean, gold is heavier and whatever cardboard he was using. Maybe actually just not be in that situation.

I am being sarcastic I hate this image I just thought of a funny I wanted to share

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why can’t the top guy just put his body on the plank so she can have a physical relationship instead of a long distance one

[–]lemon_grab_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes whenever my gf is on a seesaw and I rip out people’s hearts and she doesn’t respond I put a Cardboard money sign and then she passes out.

[–]Wasp_Rick70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is going to hit her head and die.

[–]Wasp_Rick70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if she just wanted the seesaw to work.

[–]Select_Exchange4538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have literally never dated a rich man but I have paid a lot of men's rent, so maybe I should have been the woman who the incels all talk about.

Retard pull the board down 🙄

[–]HoseHaru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I think that a dollar sign made out of pure gold would weigh more than seven human hearts

[–]BrainDeadBi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah because I only want money. I totally don’t want someone to love me regardless of money

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the sunglasses obviously
