I thought this was somebody's type

*Hard out there for a man.

The author is John Paul Brammer, from his piece "The Most Unlovable Man in New York City."

Archived copy of source, because fuck giving that nazi bar Substack any clicks.

I cracked up at the novella one because the guy was probably thinking of a telenovela.

Wait, she slept with Helen Keller and Amelia Earhart?

Nice.

I was shaking my head at the Helen Keller - Amelia Earhart confusion until I double checked something.

I was getting Helen Keller confused with Anne Frank...

There actually was a stunt where they let Helen Keller ‘fly’ a plane (hold the stick while they were already in the air with the pilots monitoring).

The conspiracy that she wasn’t actually blind or deaf is frustratingly common among people under 30, who I assume have all picked it up from TikTok.

ummm isn't this from "The Most Unlovable Man in New York City" is in fact saying it's hard for a guy out there?

I'm not sleeping with stupid. I don't care what they look like. Gross. Such a turnoff.

Amelia Earhart is the sister of the NASCAR driver, right?

Knew a lady that had four sons with her first husband. Wonderful woman in every way, the boys took after dad. Tall and handsome, dumber than chicken shit and always drink the bottle empty. Nice guys, but I swear they quit breathing while they are trying their shoes. Met someone who knew her in school, she was only sorting for looks and fun. Paying for that now.

I slept with both of them. I've been on a lot of dates.

Doesn't sound like she's doing all that bad with men 🤔

I don't think the novella one is that bad

I really need people to know that Helen Keller did fly a plane and yes, this fact alone is the crux of a lot of weird Keller-denialism. It's ironic that the woman in the post is suggesting the man mentioning Keller is ignorant for confusing her with Earhart, because he wasn't. He is ignorant for thinking the Keller story is unbelievable, however.

This doesn't really seem like a gender thing, I've slept with my share of dumb women.

Helen Keller flew a plane. She slept with both these men?!
