Getting ‘zombied’ is the new dating trend — and it’s worse than ‘ghosting’
New York Post ^ | April 26, 2023 | Brooke Steinberg

Turns out there’s something worse on the dating scene than being “ghosted.”

Singer-songwriter Mariel Darling took to TikTok to share the latest horrifying dating trend: being “zombied.”

“Girl, you’re being ghosted? I’m being zombied,” she shared with her 255,900 followers on the platform. “It’s like ghosting, but he comes back from the dead after a couple months and hits you up,” she explained in the video with 1.5 million views and 151,100 likes.

It would depend on why he disappeared. Some guys just do that and hut them up for a night of sex.

Considering the state of the modern day female, I can completely understand men “tap dancing around commitment”

Lads, if you’re a normal male, just send away for a mail order Eastern European or Asian girl. They’ll act like women and will expect you to act like a man.

I was going down the list in my little black book and came upon your name. I’ll give you another go. Because I’m bored. Nothing better to do and there’s nothing on television tonight.

I think a whole lot of ‘em... male AND female... need to be committed!

Too bad we closed most of the nuthouses.

Maybe he disappeared because the chick is a real psycho, the guy misses the real crazy woman he first started fooling around with and after a short period realized she’s someone who you find a bunny in a pot one day in your kitchen.

Remember the Hot/Crazy Matrix.

But the guy is weak and every once in awhile he wants to come back just to tap it for the excitement, sort of like touching a hot stove, you know not to do it but sometimes the little head overrides the big head.

Wait. They treat men like disposable accessories. They are easy to bed and are ego ridden and want it both ways. They want commitment and also the freedom to dump their partner at whim.

They get upset when treated the same way. Lol.

Lol. Never had to get a restraining order.

I didn’t know there was a name for them.
Zombies. Appropriate.
I always referred to them as, “oh no, not that SOB again!”

Exactly.

They’ve changed the rules so much that it’s no longer advantageous for a man to be monogamous. They made they’re bed and now they can sleep in it. Alone.

Yep, in the old days, before people had sex outside of marriage, guys did that still, even if they were the ones who broke up with the girl.

Social Media is the end of our traditional society as we knew it. I thought it had peaked with Facebook, Twitter, and Istagram. Now we have this idiotic TicTok and what are called “Influencers”. I could to on, but why bother? We all know what is happening with the Millenials and GenZ morons. Their addiction to these platforms disgust me.

Yes, I never liked the whole ‘ghosting’ rant-rage.

A lot of times it’s just jilted psycho dates who are mad their stalking powers aren’t as strong as their quarry’s ghosting powers.

When you’re dating, you can usually spot bad news right away. Some people just can’t hide how dysfunctional they are.
But others have cultivated the mask. They wear the normality face rather diligently for some time. In fact, it’s the sociopaths that can be the most charming in the beginning.

But when you finally unmask, them, YOU ARE THE BAD GUY when you run for the hills.

People think it’s their right to put their hooks in you and keep them there. Relationships are mutually agreed to (and hopefully mutually beneficial) social arrangements. They are not iron-clad contracts.

Yes, you do owe someone an explanation when you break up with them. I also think text breakups are a coward move.
However, it’s the pretty faces that hold the proverbial axe behind their back, and its risky to face the Mr/Mrs Hyde of a two-faced psychopath.

Are they rediscovering every routine and normal human interaction and having to give them special names and have internet discussions about their new discovery?

If the machine stops, these people will be dead or slaves within weeks.
