Trending News: The He’s Not Your Man Meme Is Giving Women Awful Dating Advice
Ladies, your man might not be who he claims to be. At least, according to a meme that’s been bouncing around Twitter all week.
According to Know Your Meme:
“He’s Not Your Man is a bait-and-swich snowclone in which a post begins by suggesting that if “Ladies, if your man” does certain things, he’s not “your man.” However, over the course of the listed things, it’s clear the poster is talking about someone highly specific, leading to the punchline, “He’s not your man. He’s X.”
