There’s a new meme on the block but he never texts you back – the 25 hottest takes

Most have us have had that one person in our lives: doesn’t text back, leaves you feeling drained, is ultimately very disappointing – but enough about plumbers, because there’s a new meme on the block and it’s everywhere you look. The key element is whether you’re getting the attention you deserve, but it’s not how it first seems – it’s much better.

Ladies! If he

– isn’t on time
– never texts you back
– doesn’t know how to operate a phone
– works chiefly in the fields
– invents horse-drawn seeding machines
– often gets mistaken for a rock band

He’s NOT your man.
He’s 18th century agricultural reformer Jethro Tull

Ladies, if he:

– never texts back
– doesn’t follow you on social media
– can’t go in the water
– emotionally tortures you
– has a super hard shell

He's not your man. He's a book, and books are better than men, so happy reading.

Ladies, if he

– Never texts back
– Leaves you feeling emotionally drained
– Rejects you repeatedly but you always come back for more
– Costs you your sleep, health, happiness, and self-esteem

He's not your man. He's the academic job market.

Ladies, if he:

– ignores your text messages
– doesn't like your tweets
– is a famed Italian badboy
– was under house arrest for 9 years
– made an enemy of the Church

He's not your man. He's Galileo Galilei, dead over 375 years. Please put him back from whence you've dug him up.

Ladies! If he

– makes you wait
– stays out late at night
– is entirely stationary
– is surrounded by red cones
– is slowing traffic between junctions 3-12

He’s NOT your man, he’s the current roadworks on the M4.

And you don’t need that in your life.

Ladies, if he:

* Solicits opinion of 3 strangers before agreeing to a date
* Takes months to reply
* Nitpicks about your appearance
* Demands you make major changes
* Won’t let you see friends unless they pay

He’s not the one. He’s a scientific journal.
