Perpetual victim. Seen it. I call it Pretty Girl Syndrome.

"Everyone treats me like gold because I'm beautiful!"

And then she's shocked when anyone tells her to get bent.

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 80 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Finally some fad I can identify with, except I'm not a girl. And I'm not pretty. And I'm not Syndrome. But everybody treats me like gold (I'm heavy and malleable)

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 35 points 3 months ago (2 children)

If you are good at inventing doomsday weapons, you could become Syndrome!

Syndrome

[–] don@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And I’m not Syndrome.

You could become Syndrome!

[–] ink@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

We could ALL become Syndrome!

And when everyone is Syndrome, no one will be…

It really is a thing. I went on one date with this super attractive redhead, and we were planning a second date, but I canceled because the time we were supposed to have together she whittled down (on the morning of) to just a couple hours she could pencil me in for. She got annoyed with me and became passive-aggressive because I didn't want to drive for two and a half hours round trip to her town for a two-hour date.

I didn't like the passive-aggression and explained that to her kindly. She got even more passive-aggressive at that. I told her I was no longer interested in dating her. She went ballistic, shit-talking me in a mutual FB group we were a part of, stalking my posts and comments on there so that she could add heart reacts to every single one before I blocked her.

I really should have known better than to try to date her as the first time I got to know her was when I was on vacation with my girlfriend in New Orleans where this woman and her husband were celebrating their one-year anniversary and we all met up for dinner, and she later told me they had a knock-down, drag-out fight in their hotel room.

So she was married? No judgement, but might explain why she didn't have time for you.

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Lol, I put that last bit there without explanation for the shock value because the people seem to love this. But yes, we were all polyamorous. She was married, I had a girlfriend and a nesting partner, my girlfriend had a boyfriend who had a wife who wanted to date me (I declined because she practiced polyamory unethically), and my nesting partner had a girlfriend.

The woman I was interested in dating, I knew she didn't have a whole lot of free time...neither did I truth be told...but I turned her down not because she had other partners and a busy life but because of the way she responded to me. It was basically, "Um, how dare you cancel plans with me after I took an extra morning shift on the day of our date leaving you with only two hours and with you having to do all the driving for over two and a half hours during rush hour traffic!" She was so used to people falling all over her because of how attractive she was, and it was really off-putting.

Yup. Those poor kids are stuck dealing with it too.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 68 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Holy shit, her entire catalog is a dumpster fire of insecurity.

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is this maybe just creative writing?

I mean the author is on medium to get followers and make money. No one wants to read a blog about how uninteresting someone's life is.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

It has to be, and many of the articles use stock photos and generic writing. Maybe just like rage bait?

[–] idiomaddict@feddit.de 11 points 3 months ago

I mean, she posts to a blog called “vain asylum,” so she’s at least self aware.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 57 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say that Elle Silver seems like a bitch you don't want to be with.

Fucked Around and Found Out

[–] iemgus@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

Fuck around and find out, maybe?

Vain Asylum sounds about right

[–] SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 months ago

Looks like there's some highly tarnished Silver available if anyone's interested.

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 3 months ago

Did she write the "I cheated on my husband" article while still married to him? That's amazing

[–] notaviking@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ok just my opinion, so clearly there might be some flack from the community, but I am glad she writes articles like this. It seems to be her form of outlet to process her emotions, decisions and their consequences. I think that is what these articles are an account from a person who knows they are flawed, knows they do not make the right decisions but are making decisions that are against common sense and she is documenting it as she goes. It is fascinating and past the schadenfreude that her consequences have given, the handful of articles I have quickly glanced she seems to be brutality honest discussion about her decisions and her struggles with the consequences.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

reading the cheating article, it's pretty clear these guys were gonna divorce anyway.

It's a mistake not to separate and tell your kids before meeting someone else, but from reading what happened it looks like their marriage deteriorated to the point of completely ignoring each others existence, she finds happiness in someone who actually likes her being around, gives her the push to finalize the divorce.

Understandable perhaps but not exactly the right thing to do.

The way the meme is edited it makes it look like the husband found out and kicked her out and she deserves to be poor, reading the articles it looks like the classic case of "Mother drops everything for family, Father has to be forced to continue child support after divorce and does everything he can to avoid it."

Which, honestly, I support. Everyone knows that's part of marriage now, if you can't abide by the terms of the contract, don't enter into the legally binding partnership.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago

Man, divorced women sure do have it rough

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 months ago

You love to see it.
