Which kind of person are you? The kind of person who apologizes when you say something that you didn’t realize would infuriate people, or the kind of person who doubles down and tries to talk your way around it because you’re too hard-headed to admit that you may have screwed up?
One Twitter user who goes by the handle “Dangerously Beefy” appears to fall squarely into the latter category.
For you see, Mr. Beefy, who has around 5,600 Twitter followers, said something that ended up being seen and commented on by WAYYY more people than that – and not because they all liked his tweet (though many did).
Here’s what got the masses so stirred up.
“My housing is paid for. I make a good salary. I get health insurance, 401k, 700 lbs of beef a year, and I live on a couple hundred acres. I’m a puncher by trade with a bachelors degree,” Beefy wrote. “And I swear you women would rather have a loser than a provider. It’s sad.”
Sounds like a real catch, no? Not according to the dozens upon dozens of women who saw his tweet and decided to weigh in with 700-plus pounds of their own beef.
I’m just here for the ratio but you get points for inspiring the funniest replies.
lol 700 lbs. of beef lol

Same. Carry on…
You seem like the kind of person who snapchats a girl to ask them why they didn’t reply to ur double text and doesn’t see the flaw in that behavior

Maybe... and I know this is apparently still radical in 2019... women are their OWN providers and LIKE IT THAT WAY.

You realize if a woman marries you, she's going to live with you, right?
So what do you have to offer as a person? It's weird how these tweets never get into why someone would enjoy your company. Or is that 700 pounds of beef meant to be compensation for your personality?

I’ve provided for myself my entire life, when I got married it wasn’t to find a man to “provide” for me. Not everyone is looking to be taken care of and it sounds like your mentality that housing and beef (?!) is all you need to bring to the table is what’s standing in your way.

Hon, I think the problem is encapsulated in the "you women would rather" bit of your tweet.
It may seem strange and counterintuitive, but: Try thinking of women as individual human beings!

I own my house. I make a good salary. I get health insurance, 403b, and summers off (unpaid but still). I’m a librarian with a doctoral degree. And I swear you men still think we need providers. It’s sad you think your worth is monetary. Maybe that’s why you can’t find anyone.

“You women.” 🙄

Wrong. I Always ask someone how many pounds of beef they have before dating them. That’s how I ended up married to someone who gets 80,000 pounds of beef a year. Compatibility means nothing if you can just build a smelly wall of meat between you and him

Beefy’s tweet also vexed a few men as well.
Great. It's not even Monday yet and I've already got to think about how many hundreds of pounds of beef I can offer a woman

I have 800 lbs of beef a year and I get laid all the time. Maybe you should work harder

Annnd here comes the doubling down I mentioned…
I have the power of beef on my side. Your words can’t hurt me! pic.twitter.com/NWJldgPS0Z
