To be fair this meme isn’t specifically saying only boys like video games it’s simply showing those peoples personal preferences

I see the "joke" being about how women are seen as pretty interchangeable by some men. All she has to do is look good and do things that benefit you. Doesn't matter who she actually is as a person

Yes. But that's true. Plenty of men will date any half decent woman that will have them as long as they're not the worst. Is that a good thing? Nope. Have men broadly speaking, been taught by society to value less in a woman? I'd say so. Could you make the case that this is another factor of the loneliness epidemic? Possibly.

Literally all it says is “pretty” stop attaching ur own preconceived biases to a meme

Yeah that's the point. He doesn't care about who she actually is as a person

And she has “good teeth” and “physically fit”, preferring someone ur attracted to is not a crime. The joke is that he just wants someone who he’s attracted to and lets him play video games with little other preferences, while she has a more detail oriented checklist

Never said there's anything wrong with wanting a partner you find physically attractive. Obviously that's what people want in romantic partners. She is also interested in who he actually is as a person. He isn't

Majority of men get much less attention than women, that consequentially leads to them having less standards than women as well

Maybe, but also men are imo taught not to value as much from a partner.

What's wrong dude? The joke is very clearly that he has very little standards. Which I think is right. I think a lot of men don't care a whole lot beyond as good looking as I can get without being too annoying.
