If you care for the elderly and you treat them with respect. I consider you to be some kind of saint. That's what society is for.

For context, this is a follow on from this comic:
ThisWasActuallyFunny
So is this a jab on William Shatner
UserNameFieldBlank
Thank you!
gingiexlt
Having this context is ok... but the meaning is still there either way. That guy aint so smaht
AgainstMethod
See this one makes sense.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
And now the other one does too.
Recidivous
Yeah, having this context helps with this one a lot more.
WafflesWithDietWater
No, it really doesn’t
Recidivous
Guy goes to space and says people will be kinder with that experience. Guy proves that wrong. Girl never went to space, but is kinder anyway
WafflesWithDietWater
Still doesn’t change that she’s a loser
ArcadiaBerger
Loser still incorrectly identified.
SaylorW
I understand 0% of this comic. What is even happening? Who is the dude? Who is blue shirt lady? What about astronauts? Help.
MrMcCarrick
I don't feel so alone now. I have been up all night taking care of Mom and losing my shit knowing this is the future for us. Fuck cancer.
Cheomesh
I've not really seen the earth from earth.
Fishkeeper
Never looked down, huh? /lh

As a caregiver... Thank you.

As someone who needs a caregiver, thank YOU!

I'm also a caregiver! Its hard but very rewarding work.
hunnycat
I teared up. Caring for my elderly parents is soul crushing.
TheRogueDangler
its rough stuff, huh?! dad passed in june after long fight w/ cancer & moms been dealing with herniated disc, +2 small kids... its a lot!
MrSmilingDeath
Took care of my grandma for several years. I'm glad I could be there for her, but I don't think I could stomach that again.
WhistlePig
Yes... I've been doing it for 10 years and people ask why I don't want kids. I'm 29 but feel much older
hunnycat
Oh jeeze! You are so young. The things we do for love.
linecookdaddy
Both of mine passed last year. I was living with pops for his late stage parkinson's battle. The dementia was the worst. I miss em
hunnycat
My super smart grandma librarian had that and it is worse than death, imho.
NorthSideSoldier
I'm predisposed to having Alzheimer's if my family is any clue. I'm eating a bullet when I forget my kids.
BurningVeryImportantThings
I fell into taking care of my parents in old age. I used to feel bad about needing their help as an adult now they feel bad for needing me.
BurningVeryImportantThings
it's a right of passage in some cultures but in the US I'm just considered unreliable and not datable. it's fucking hard bro i'm so lonely
BurningVeryImportantThings
dateable* I mean it's my house and it's my shit and it's my money but sure I'm a looser for caring for my parents, FUCK THIS IS FRUSTRATING
rhubarbarajam
You're not a loser, you sound wonderful bro
Senrik
As 27 year old caregiver who "rents" a room from her grandparents... Fuck ANYONE who thinks less of you for caring for your parents. 1/?
Senrik
2/2The act of caring for another human when they can no longer care for themselves should be seen an incredibly attractive trait. Good job:)

Extra fabulous comics is mainly known for is dark humor not its feels
rhdking12
I am confused and the joke makes no sense
HandsomePenguin
It follows this comic
SuicidalBallsack
Joke is on the dude. she tips her gmas caregiver and genuinely loves and cares for her gma. She's a thoughtful person and he just missed out
Stonewall008
Less a joke and more a feels good.
DeadeicPrints
I've had several girls block me on dating apps for "living with mommy" when I already explained this is what I was doing.
lostlittletimeonthis
Well seeing as that will be my future...but I'll do you one better, blocked by asking what she was up to in this chilly weather
wylkyn
Glad they let you know what kind of people they are before you wasted time on them.
Iamabigdogthatwantstobesmall
I found phrasing matters. I didn't live with my dad. My dad lived with me.
tamalehatchet
Respect for doing a noble thing
dmhearne
I feel you bro, I had to help care for my father. People would visibly recoil when I told them I lived with my parents.
JJWoodSculpture
I’m not doing the apps but it’s always an awkward topic. On the other hand I think it’s helped whenever it’s come up when I’m selling art.
DeepFriedAndSanctified
Wait, the movie Stuck in Love led me to believe this is how you get a girl. Have I been lied to?!?
Almaadin
Congrats on avoiding several psychos.
HenryFondle
Mom passed 4 months ago after caring for 8 years. I gave up early. Now I'm old and the dating pool is fuuuucked.
DeadeicPrints
Literally same. I stopped dating years ago and now I'm just a late 30s weirdo living day to day lol.
KamonDS
so, fuck them. and not in a positive way.
tautaula
I had issues that kept me from doing this with either of my parents. 10/10 would love to go back in time and care for one of them.
tautaula
The other... Idk. Frustrating situation there.
NotaCPA
Congrats on being tall and attractive enough to get matches in the first place. You're doing the right thing though.

People are morons.
rouik
Thanks for explaining the comic to me, I was wondering why green dress was paying somebody to brush teeth of an old woman?
CorgiBaron
I took care of my grandmother and gave her 6 more years with me and my family. Mad respect.
djzapz
That's sad and I would never degrade you by calling it "living with mommy", but also that's a lifestyle that's not for everybody.
TheM1ck
Caring for an invalid parent or grandparent is a "lifestyle that's not for everybody"? The fuck, are we supposed to drop 'em at Goodwill or
MrMcCarrick
Yea this country fucking blows, loads of family just drop them off at retirement homes to leave them to die. I'm taking care of my mom right
MrMcCarrick
now as we're struggling with her late stage cancer and it fucking SUCKS. It's hard work that never ends, my needs aren't being met, I've had
MrMcCarrick
to put my entire life on hold and I don't care if some uppity twat thinks less of me for it. I love my mom and I'm not going to abandon her.
TheM1ck
Something? Are you for real, with this shit?
Colopty
They're not saying to drop the sick parent for a random date, they're saying to find a different date who can work with your lifestyle.
Colopty
At the same time, they're saying not to blame the dropped date for not changing their whole lifestyle to accommodate yours.
Thorinori
Won't repeat the other comments but will also add that this is what things like elderly homes etc are for, when people need constant care ->
Thorinori
and for whatever reason family can't/won't be able to provide it themselves
thegrimreaver
Not the point. A potential romantic partner does not have an obligation to shoulder the duty of helping care for an invalid relative.
TheM1ck
But calling it a "lifestyle" implies that it's a choice they've made.
djzapz
Sure I'm for real. If you go out and start dating, you'll find that people are looking for something enjoyable and easy. If you're a
TheM1ck
"Well, gee. You're funny and cute and smart, and demonstrably loyal and empathetic, but that whole... situation... you got over there, nah,
djzapz
caretaker, that's a rough start. If you're ill yourself, that's a rough start. I wouldn't abandon my wife if she ended up having to be her
CanadianEngineer
There’s another person in that equation. No one’s suggesting the guy should abandon his parent.
barrocoyote
Not that hard to understand, not everyone wants to get in a relationship with someone who has to do serious caretaking
TheM1ck
Calling it a "lifestyle" implies it's a choice they've made, so it's okay to curb them for it.
bigboytaz
Choosing to care for someone is a choice. But i agree you can curb someone for not understanding or minimizing the situation +1
soylentbeef
That's not at all the take away from this comment. It is a choice for someone, however, to enter into that situation willingly. And it takes
flapperfemmefatale
you can curb someone for any reason you choose.
barrocoyote
Look man no one is obligated to date you just because you're a caretaker for your parent. Not everyone wants to enter into that life.
moisthole
Is this a similar desire to not want to date someone with children?
flapperfemmefatale
I'd say so, as someone who doesn't want kids and would never date someone who ha s any.
Thegreenestthumb9
Maybe, but they don't have to be assholes about it.
moisthole
True I wish people weren’t assholes. But if all of human history has taught us anything it’s that people are assholes.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Basically, yeah. The reality of it is that the kids will be that person's priority, and if it ends up being a long-term thing, they will /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
become partly your responsibility as well. They will certainly impact your life in a big way. Same thing if your partner is the caregiver /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
for a sick relative. Not everyone is ready to take that on, which is fair. And if they're not ready, then refusing to date people in that /3
