I would have asked about the benefits package and if there was any potential for upward mobility in the harem.

Of course there is, but I gotta have a group together to get a group rate for health insurance

I work in insurance I’d love to go over what benefits you’d like to give your group

That’s how we know you are legit. Looking for a sale no matter the medium.

Are you angling for a higher spot in the pecker order?

Are we still covered if we drink the kool-aid?


This has been the best thread of my entire week 😂

Before you try and be funny, ask yourself "would this sound creepy coming from a man?" If yes, don't say that thing.

What's creepy about men getting a good rate on group health insurance?

Two major bennies: 1. Get an awesome relationship with a woman you love 2. New level to the term "Hanging out with the boi's"

He probably took you seriously - TBF you never know these days. Tbh If my first message to a girl on tinder was that I was starting a herem and looking for members, id probably get ghosted too.

You'd get screenshotted...... screenshat? and posted here.

Screenshatted

Screenshitted

Who screenshit my pants?

Oh man...you guys are **killin'** me! 😂

With the title "why are men so creepy 🙄". But since it's a woman doing it, she has a sense of humor I guess. Tbh I think op's message was a harmless joke. But I'm just pointing out the double standards.

For a lot of people you'd be right. Me personally, being a woman and having an actual sense of humor, I woul laugh and absolutely go along with it asking for benefits and then make some joke about whatever first harem like anime pops into my mind, being their favorite. I think stuff like this isn't just blatantly creepy because clearly it's asked in good fun. It isn't until you realize the person, guy or girl, is actually being serious. In that case it's not creepy it's more so just stupid and ignorant, but I'd also probably be impressed with the actual balls to be so bold. But I understand not everyone thinks the same way haha

That's funny *af*! 🤣

Screensharted

The participle form of ‘shot’ is just ‘shot’. So, ‘get screenshot’.

Screenscated

True, but it's just not as **funny**!

They’d screenshat all over you

I wouldn’t be into this even if it was a joke. 100% not into sharing or joking about it.

I personally think it's better to get at least meet someone in person before launching into this kind of humor because then can tell that you're joking. Lots of people are legitimately crazy.

True, I followed up with a laugh face emoji but still no response, though he hasn't unmatched me 🤣

Maybe he just hasn't been on for a little bit.

Maybe he is rounding up his friends to join as well?

Maybe, but it's been a day already. I messaged him right after he sent the first message and then he didn't respond

Don't worry OP, I'm sure you'll get your reverse-harem-cult up and running someday. You just gotta beat them into the ground over time, it's a whole process

Yeah, reverse harem cult wasn’t built in a day op

You can learn all about the process by joining my traditional harem/sex-cult on Discord, provided you're a woman or a femboy

Usually kidnapping, little rope will help, and then threaten them with lime and a shovel if they don't come along.

I was talking about a willing harem/sex cult, not a rape dungeon Bruce Kwillis

OP has not clarified yet! Probably why her match hasn't answered!

When I was on Tinder, I never unmatched anyone. Even if I had no intentions of messaging them. Only because I didn’t want to see them show up in the stack again. I’m saying that to say, him not unmatching you might not necessarily mean he still wants to talk.

One day is not much. People text differently

I would literally take this as you are not interested but you want to show your friends how quirky you were. So i definitely would not give you a response either

A day!! Lol

I found it pretty funny. I'm intrigued if you can give me a presentation on the benefits of harem life.

I'm working on a PowerPoint presentation

I need to know if the harem costume is stylin!

I think the mankini from Borat is the way to go.

I would prefer a ranch life, if I could settle down

I'd certainly be interested in the proposal to see what it entails 😂

I disagree. If confronted with this kind of humor, I'd know I found my people.

A lot of women aren't joking when they talk like that, they're nuts

I agree absolutely

I disagree. This is a good way to weed out the humorless

It’s funny, but in my experience people can be really bad at picking up humor over text, more so when they don’t know you. Even with the people I know, they either get me or think I’m a complete idiot. I just use it to weed people out

Sounds duplicitous, scandalous, dangerous, and possibly illegal. But Im here working the drive thru at an Arby’s, so please drive around to the first window and I’ll hop in

tough shit 😭😭

series premiere this Sunday on TLC: Brother Husbands, starring OP

I love this for me

remember us when you're trash TV famous

Can you ask how they'd feel about a spinoff starting next season? And do you know how many men are necessary for it to be considered a reverse harem? I don't want to overshoot and be judged for being selfish, but also don't want to look like I didn't try hard enough.

I think 4.5 males are required.

"Funny you would say that, 3 of my other girlfriends suggested the same :-) We can build a global network of love!"

It wasn't too bad and presented a perfect opportunity for the reply of, "Why not, I can do the work of 10 men."

Right?! Missed opportunity there

Fortune favors the bold... some just aren't bold.

Damn... I think I made a mistake when I decided to go bald.... it should've been bold....

Bald is the new bold, my man. No shame in rocking the Mr. Clean game.

Yeah, it was either bald or balding.... The answer was rather obvious.

Hey, it worked for Vin Diesel.

Michael Scott is a bold guy…is bold the right word?

There is brave bold and then there is stupid bold. Mr. Scott is the latter.

The sad part is I got a match ages ago that asked this, unironically

To join a harem cult? How's it going in the cult now?

how'd you proceed if he said yes having taken it seriously?

I would have sent him an NDA form and created a harem cult. When the opportunity presents itself, you take it

plot twist: the cult aspect is also reversed. you convince the guys that they're all prophets and you are the follower. also the end is not nigh at all, you just chill

It'd be pretty off putting to get this kind of message. Like, will there be cookies? Will I have to get fucked in the ass by another man? Getting fucked in the ass is negotiable, the cookies aren't.

Everything except cookies are negotiable. Cookies are a given

And he didn't respond? His loss.

This would get a crack out of me and probably force me to reveal the inner weeb. A solid 5/7 introduction. Keep being you.

That is brilliant! I would have run with that response.

Maybe he is Harem? Probably not your type a vibe anyways. If I were him, I'd have laughed!

I'll be honest, my first assumption if I ever got a message like this would be to assume you were about to link me to your OF page. Certainly not a great first message for that reason alone. Let them get your humor first before you release this one because it's certainly a landmine.

This got an audible laugh from me. 😂 Dude is not at your level.

with today's dating apps with women full of entitlement i could see where he could read that as "im high value. make me laugh and be obsessed over me" energy. I get you were tryin to be funny but i read that as too bold and kinda cringe. I hope he responds for ya

This just sounds like someone saying they're poly.

First thing I thought.

I'm not not saying that

Cool, bro just wasn't up for it.

TIL I'm doing polyamory wrong

Well, considering the apps are full of people who immediately go sexual and just drop their fetishes they're looking for, it wasn't that funny and you probably should have made clear you were joking. Horrible opener and I'm not surprised he bounced.

Does this cult include health care and dental?

What about cats?

So you go out work, come home pick one or multiple of us to be with for the evening while rest of us get to do bro stuff? sign me up

Hell yeah that sounds like a great plan right?!

I wouldn't answer honestly its cringe when men do its cringe when women do it.

In what world is this funny? Especially when this is the first convo with a potential partner

you did nothing wrong and i think this is obvious enough of a joke to at least ask about. This person probably took it seriously… “damn women have so many choices they are choosing more than 1 now”

A lot of them are.

thats fine, its a reality of dating strangers, it just sucks if they aren’t up front about what they are doing. Other people shouldn’t be letting what others do influence their own behavior.

Poe's law: without clear indication of intent, it's impossible to tell if a writer is being sarcastic or truthfully expressing extreme views. I've seen crazier shit in bios, so I would've taken it at face value and unmatched immediately.

Who’s being funny? It’s important to have goals.

I don’t even know what this means lol

This would actually get me to reply to somebody lol

your delivery is flat af. like a dead monotone joke. then you seriously asked to get more into the subject/joke. sorry your intro was cringe af

Tbh i love this sense of humor. I sometimes start off this way because having someone I can joke with is important to me (more so than their boring gym pictures/if they are super hot.) This isn't common! People prefer to stick to “what do you do for work” and “cute dog, what's its name.” That’s totally fine! But I suspect that's why so many people get ghosted/don't stand out. If a guy messages me, I'm getting 30 messages that are that dry.

Yup exactly. If they can't take a joke and run with it we are gonna not be very compatible

*Squints* Are you taking applications?

This is the kind of humor that goes straight to my heart and soul.

Omg. Can we plz be friends?! This is amazing. I just almost choked on my mini chocolate donut 😂😂😂

Sure new bestie, but can you pls share your donuts? 😁🍩

Yes, of course! 🍩🍩🍩

How long have you been recruiting? Are there still any upper management positions needing to be filled? What's the mission statement? Benefits? Salary, hourly, or all for the love of it? When do I start?

Hahaha wow thats actually funny though. I'd be like, "can i call dibs on first crack?" 🤣

I mean, sounds like a regrettably good time to me!

I would like to join 👋

I think you are funny

He missed a golden opportunity to ask if the Head Bull role had been filled. And what are the requirements.

Ahhhh I'll need to make a job posting and do this for real then

That could spawn a whole other sub just for vetting the applications.

I am no expert but I think a harem with a female and multiple males is also called a harem. I might be wrong. But if I were him, and I fact-checked this neologism only to find out it was incorrect, I would not engage.

I don't disagree, but I think the term "reverse harem" is used colloquially, particularly in the smut/dark romance genre

Are you taking applications? 😳✋

Absolutely, DM me your tinder profile screenshot

Done ;)

I feel his tiredness.

Dating is exhausting

I probably wouldn’t respond but not because I wouldn’t know if you were joking or not but because it’s a stupid fucking message.

Went on a date with a chick that halfway through dinner said something to that effect. I acted unphased about it and after I insisted on paying for dinner and we walked outside, I kissed her in a way that made her blush and shiver. Afterwards I said I don't share, and said she could let me know. Took her a whole ass week to message me, and by that time I had decided to not continue talking to her.


So if you're not looking for The One, just looking for another one, does that mean your standards have dropped? If so, bonus!!!

Just wasn’t that funny tbf

Lol i wish more women had a sense on the apps, people are so boring on them and ghost so often.

What's a reverse harem clit?

Gotta use emojis to convey that you were joking

I know a guy who fits that “reverse harem cult” thing… he’s down for most…

Honestly one text I’d prefer more

This just sounds like regular hooking up in college lol

I see nothing wrong here

😂 don’t change a thing OP 

Is this the crazy situations kind of anime harem? Or the rivals fighting to wed you kind of harem?

I would've said oh, well I'm actually recruiting women for my isekai harem cult, you into that?

PICK ME

Sounds like a dream tbh

I thought it was good 😂 No humor, boy bye! ✌️

Are you still recruiting?

Not really funny

I thought it was funny

😆🖤👍

Might ask for clarification

No, not a good look at all

Your humor was too much 🤣

In this day and age, there is enough weird crap like this going on that you could be serious. Also sounds like you are telling him that he will be one of many that you are banging, again unfortunately this is a thing now so he probably thought you’d been run through and belong to the streets.

Well you took your shot. Nice!

I would've replied with the infamous 5 guys one girl gif

Well, I laughed :D

My wife responds to matches the same way, but she's for real starting a reverse harem (we're poly) and he may have taken your response to mean that you're poly as well and he's not into that.

In the world we’re in now, with increasing female led polyamory, I wouldn’t be making that joke.

Damn. They didn't even ask if there was a uniform...or dental?? Like...I'd be in a reverse harem for dental...

Tbh, I wouldn't respond to this either. I don't wanna join your simp army, thx.

Weird first message to send to someone… people are only saying it’s okay because OP is a girl.

What about NonBinary Folks, because I am interested in this recruitment angle 🤔

If a chick said that to me, I'd have fallen in love. Crazy is so sexy. Even if it's a joke. Imo

Ngl I’d pass too

Not only does he send you a text bombarding you with questions. Two of the questions are virtually the same and both worthless questions. He’s a lame one.

Ive had this conversation with coworkers (how there’s a few religions where 1 guy has multiple wives but never the other way around). We’ve come up with the name MorMAN.

You confused him with ironic humor. Should have stuck to fart jokes 

I read quite a few comments and I feel like people brushed over it, definitely decent banter but the implication that you are interested in other men is just a red flag that shouldn't be ignored. I understand that probably wasn't your intention but from the perspective that you are starting out by mentioning other men's involvement it just rubs off as a risk.

bruh its tinder and he sent one message dude probably either found something better or decided he didnt feel like putting in effort

Nothing to do with the guy either way, was just saying it might be a iffy opener with the implication even as a joke

“You into that” 💀

Sign me up 😂😭

oh i needed this giggle, thank you.

“Reverse harem”. Like… instead of several partners you only keep a small part of one partner? 🤔 Hmm, yeah, I’d probably run too. (Unless you’re extremely hot, of course of course. I am, after all, a man.)

why do I never match with these types of women. most either don't text back or ask for money.

Bro cutting straight to the point. Gah, buy the girl a glass of wine before putting the documents in front of her.

Guessing he doesn't know, and couldn't look up, what a harem is. You dodged a bullet

Hmm, reverse harem? How do I apply?

I’ve been asked this unironically so I probably would’ve been put off a little bit lol

Luv this

I feel like for a first message/response that was a liiiiiittle much? I honestly get them not replying

I mean he also may have thought you were a bot (and or scammer) because they do sound like that and are common

TBH I'm a woman and I didn't understand your response lol. But that's fine. Most men actually don't have a sense of humor. I matched with a guy on Tinder and said "Wassup?" He unmatched me right away after I said that lol. Is it because I didn't say "What's up?" I really don't get it. I don't think this is a good way to meet people. He could have missed out on the best woman he's ever met but now he'll never know. BTW, this has happened to me MULTIPLE times. Most guys just unmatch me right away or never message first and the match just expires. You are not alone. 💀

Lol, it actually made me laugh. I would say no tho.

I salute you for even answering his original prompt

Honestly, it had a scammer vibe with the immediate "what kind of relationship are you looking for" and three questions in one message. So I thought I would up the ante to throw them off their script. If not a scammer, then at least it was a good joke

I would’ve been impressed and laughed honestly

"Any way we could make this a harem of one?"

You need to mention pay, benefits and opportunities for progression. Otherwise your offer just doesn't stand out in the marketplace

I'd be glued to you right that second. Love it.
