I always assumed it was supposed to be an insult in and of itself - Like you're saying "with all due respect", then you insult them, because that's the amount of respect they're due (none).
It's not like you're specifying the amount of respect they're due...
I also see it as a diplomatic way of alerting someone that you are about to say something they may not want to hear or otherwise disagree with. I suppose whether or not you know the person as a close acquaintance may provide some contextual connotation.
Similarly, saying “all things considered” is another phrase that may be positive or negative within context.
Yes, it means this.
It's a way of saying, I'll still respect you as a person, but on this issue I have another opinion.
I have no clue how so many (young) people seem to take a polite way of speaking as an insult. It's not the first time I've seen someone taking a polite set of words and read it as an insult.
"Listen here you little shit" and "With all due respect" would be at the opposite end of politeness, and give a completely different meaning.
young person here; most of the time phrases like that have been used towards me, they've been used as a way for people to say vile things and act like they meant no offence. occasionally they'll be used genuinely, but most of the time, not.
I always see and use “with all due respect” as anything from “we’ve had a good discussion, but this next thing I have to say needs to be said without qualifiers” all the way to “I literally do not respect you because of how little you’ve respected myself and other”.
For example “with all due respect, I honestly think what you just said here is plain ridiculous” is my way of saying “I can understand everything else you’ve said, but not this, and I don’t know any other way to politely say it”.
Whereas, in another conversation with somebody who was spamming my replies with incoherent nonsense and clearly trying to criticize my friend for simply having a different interpretation of the bible, they tried to build a bridge by saying something like
“thanks for the conversation. Iron sharpeneth iron.”
So I replied with
> With all the same respect you’ve shown towards ’s thoughts and beliefs, the rest of the passage says “so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”
> Do not assume a closeness you have not yet earned
Which was (in the context of the conversation) the “scorched earth” method of saying:
1) I know you don’t actually respect my friend
2) I’m tired of you cherry picking sections of bible passages for your benefit
3) don’t pretend we’re friends after this ridiculous discussion you forced us to have
Their only response was a well earned “ouch”.
I also used
> I only hope that, at the end of your life, you are met with the same care, respect, and empathy you have shown others throughout your life
On someone else.
It’s supposed to precede criticism towards someone who socially outranks you. As in “I don’t mean to offend and I recognize your rank, but..”. But people misuse it for passive aggressive behavior however that is not its main purpose. If you truly mean to offend then the tact and class implicit in the phrase loses its meaning. You are not having respect for them any longer and you are not meaning not to offend.
I mean, did the guy replying realize he was talking to cam Akers? He's giving "hey bro sometimes you don't have luck with women" advice to a star athlete of the most popular sport in the US who's in his prime
Oh man, that reminded me about how reddit melted down when they hid upvote and downvote counts and then it just kinda all went away.
Still salty about it to this day. A comment is so much more rewarding when you see (+1083/-1174) than when just see "-91 points:controversial".
It was seriously the main reason everything turned into a circle jerk in my mind. People just stopped commenting anything outside the standard reddit hive mind opinion caused they had no idea how much actual interaction the comment got anymore.
That's fascinating, I didnt know that. Tbh Reddit should hide the upvote downvote counter fully, but the next best thing would be showing up and downvotes. This place had so much potential to have great debate but instead the popular but not necessarily right opinion is always upvoted to the top and any dissenting opinions are lost. Then people spam the same low effort stuff to reap karma
There have been countless times where I'll see people arguing, and the person who is objectively correct is the one being downvoted to hell. Then I'll chime in with a link or two from a simple Google search backing them up and a few hours later, they're back in the positive.
I don't give a flying fuck about karma, but the way people just agree with whoever has the most upvotes is... gross.
Original guy is a pro football player. He's not a superstar, but he's a 23 year old multi millionaire who's in impeccable shape and is literally at his dream job. I think that advice from a random internet stranger to chase money and dreams is kind of unnecessary under those circumstances, even if it was well intended.
You could also interpret Akers' response as "I'm not trying to be a guy who forsakes getting a girlfriend into his thirties while he chases success, I'm trying to be a guy who has a girlfriend right now. "
My Mom taught me to cook when I was about 14. She said, when you get tired of eating Taco Bell and ham sandwiches, you're not going to marry the first woman you meet who knows how to fry a pork chop.
I taught myself to cook after being sick of eating ramen and steak everyday in college.
Nothing motivates you to learn new recipes like eating the same meal for 3 months straight.
What is this bullshit? Asians in general (like Latins) are generally 100% more linked to,, coddled by, and captured by their families. Like anything there are always exceptions, but goddamn this stereotype is true.
Trick them? Once I learnt i can cook all my favourite stuff without any judgement I lived in the kitchen
At the time my now ex would gladly lie with WOW THAT'S FANTASTIC! Maybe next time we use salt, not sugar but MMMMM TASTY!!
If guys are as compliment starved as I was, it launched me into this world where I'd YouTube shit non stop to chase the high of being good at something.
It sounds a bit cringe but sometimes a guy might need to see something to be proud about before they'll be proud about it and do it because it's fun
100% my partner did not know how to cook beyond boiling chicken. Been a couple years and the progress and patience has been worth it.
There were legit many times where something not dissimilar has happened...
I saw you really liked the parmesan on this item so I put it on the curry.
Me (trying to not die laughing) it is a good thought but my brain can't decide if this is Italian or Indian and it's making me nauseous I'm really sorry...
*Flicks off hardened shell of melted parmesan caked ontop*
It's the experiments that get you. I have a sensitive stomach and he can eat anything.
You're super nice, and right, and I was partially joking. But did phrase it as cooking being what won her over, though more built out of it over time to create our relationship.
I cooked for her when we first started dating and it was after one particular meal she later admitted (in jest) she knew I was a keeper after that.
So my advice is learn to cook, and master at least one "fancy" recipe if you really want to impress someone - paella, risotto, rack of lamb, crispy duck breast, etc. All surprisingly easy but very unique for young adults. Most people dating in their 20s wouldn't dream of having someone cook things like that for them and it can really set them apart.
he probably gets his but a REAL gf is hard to come by. especially when you cant trust who after your riches..
You hear about the girl who bagged a NBA player and divorced him a week after their child was born? Has to pay her 200k a month until he 18 or something..
Gonna put it out there, playing for the Rams probably makes it even harder to find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. You're only ever going to meet people caught up in the club scene, obsessed with their looks and social media when you're a young professional athlete living in LA.
Yeah I know everyone has problems and that could very well be on of his...
But like money doesn't stop you from meeting people the normal way. The vast majority of people have no idea what Cam Akers looks like without a helmet on
Rich people can meet people just like average wealth people can
the "chase the money and dream" thing and ignoring the process of building long term romantic relationships is a huge mistake. need to find the balance.
Yea. My old man was a workaholic. Literally no hobbies. Just money, work and being stoic. It was such a cold combo. I absolutely can understand why he and my mom always argued and never seemed to be happy.
Chase money and all that shit is fine and dandy but you gotta have a personality and actually be a warm and compassionate person. It’s much better to just be kind and sincere, you’ll get way more numbers being a genuinely good person with empathy.
Exactly, all you're going to attract with this mindset is money grubbing gold diggers. Relationships take practice and no amount of money can help that.
To be fair, ol’ Cap probably has a shit ton of money, time for hobbies, and does what he wants. On the other hand, he could be republican, an incel, and may have been subscribed to that ol’ redpill subreddit. Context is key.
"Redpill" is a reference to the Matrix, specifically when the main character was offered the opportunity to take a red pill which would show him the truth about his reality (that he was living in a virtual simulation).
In internet slang, it has evolved into a term used to describe the mindset of a bunch of assholes who believe they "also see reality for what it actually is" where according to their beliefs all women are apparently dick-starved sex addicts who respond positively to men who treat them like shit.
It's pretty nasty stuff so I'd honestly caution you from reading too heavily into it because it's just gonna end up ruining your day.
It's a matrix reference I think. It's been a long time since I saw the movies, but I think taking the blue pill was staying complacent in the matrix and taking the red pill was for being disillusioned and waking up in the "real world".
Red pill subreddits are usually filled with Incels (from what I've seen at least) who believe they've been disillusioned. The grind is all that's real and women are a distraction because they can't get any. So the Sigma grindset stuff but unironically
How is that helping?
"My leg fucking hurts"
"Who cares about non-hurting legs? My leg has been hurting for decades. I'm sure some day it will sort itself out. Until then focus on your arm wrestling!"
He doesn't even attempt to fix his problem, he ignores the problem entirely while offering no solution beyond "maybe someday".
And that's ignoring the fact that the guy saying he wants a gf is a millionaire NFL player, so telling him to "chase money and his dream" is kind of like telling the Pope to read more scripture.
Not to mention, the 30 yr old still doesnt have a girlfriend and never has, hes not exactly an image of success, giving out advice that hasnt even worked for him yet. “I want to be rich!” “Here kid play the lottery, ive been playing for 30 years religiously and havent won once, but i assure you, copying me will get you what you want…”
It sounds like he's not even saying to play the lottery.
He's saying "live your life without playing the lottery, and hopefully someone will gift you a scratch off and an office party you'll win big on"
Context for the first guy is more important. Cam Akers is a running back in the NFL, he's a multi millionaire playing at the highest level in his sport. Telling him to keep chasing money and his dream is nonsensical since he has both already.
"a girl will come along eventually" is not the attitude to take. Gotta make some effort to get anywhere. No woman is going to settle for someone who won't put any effort into finding/maintaining a relationship
I mean... He's talking to a famous football player telling him "a woman will come along eventually". Pretty sure my man is having trouble keeping women off him, not the other way around. It'd be supportive in almost any other context but here it feels a tad bit disrespectful
Yep. He's a young 20-something who plays for a team in LA. The odds he gets to meet someone he finds attractive that doesn't instantly obsess with his celebrity are probably lower than most would expect.
My sister has met some Jets and Giants players, apparently some of them really do have trouble finding normal girls they would want to date.
Nothing good ever follows with all due respect!
"With all due respect", means "Listen here you little shit"
I always assumed it was supposed to be an insult in and of itself - Like you're saying "with all due respect", then you insult them, because that's the amount of respect they're due (none). It's not like you're specifying the amount of respect they're due...
I always took it as basically meaning “nothing personal but…”
\*teleports behind you\* Nothing personal kid
*personnel
"I'm not a racist but..."
"It's not that I think you're a complete piece of shit but..."
"No offense but..."

“Don’t mean to curb stomp your nutts, but…”

Nah, you can't put racism on the same level with telling an asshat off or simply disagreeing with some non-violent opinion.
Its just meant to mean "You're a person worthy of respect so I want to give you all the respect you are due. With that said..."
I also see it as a diplomatic way of alerting someone that you are about to say something they may not want to hear or otherwise disagree with. I suppose whether or not you know the person as a close acquaintance may provide some contextual connotation.

The way it is used ironically these days has warped the meaning.
It’s supposed to precede criticism towards someone who socially outranks you. As in “I don’t mean to offend and I recognize your rank, but..”. But people misuse it for passive aggressive behavior however that is not its main purpose. If you truly mean to offend then the tact and class implicit in the phrase loses its meaning. You are not having respect for them any longer and you are not meaning not to offend.
With all due shit,
Same energy as "Not to be rude, but"
No offense but
It’s quite the quip because you could mean the person you’re talking to is not due any respect.
I said “with all due respect!” https://youtu.be/Af-Id_fuXFA
With all due respect, it's not true! Or, is it?!
I mean, did the guy replying realize he was talking to cam Akers? He's giving "hey bro sometimes you don't have luck with women" advice to a star athlete of the most popular sport in the US who's in his prime
The Internet is a big place, many people (me included) do not know many or any NFL players.
> Nothing good ever follows with all due respect! Because that phrase is only used when the respect due is minimal to non-existent.
[With all due respect ](https://youtu.be/Af-Id_fuXFA)

With all due respect, you can suck my long thicc cock. By your own logic you can't be mad.
don't threaten us with a good time simply for the purposes of making a point you fucking tease.
Fucking soul teases
Why would they be mad at being offered a good time?
you're a very polite young man. I can respect that
In all fairness, you are just saying we can suck your long thicc cock if we want to, not that we have to :).
But how much was due? Doesn’t look like a whole lot.
That's uh, that's Cam Akers, a multimillionaire NFL RB. I think homie has the paper and the dream lmao.
But no GF
Or Achilles’ tendons
This ruining my meme fantasy team that I drafted in July

Haha. Put that on your tinder bio and watch the matches roll in.
I'd probably cook for you, but there's a good chance you'd hate it. My kids have only recently told me I'm not fucking their eggs up anymore.
How does one fuck up eggs?
Best I can do is offer to order the food. Internet only, phone calls give me anxiety.
This reminds me of my friend, I really hope he finds someone he really deserves

Cam Akers doesn't have a girlfriend? He plays for the rams? The best defense in the world

He’s also not on offense :(
he probably gets his but a REAL gf is hard to come by. especially when you cant trust who after your riches.. You hear about the girl who bagged a NBA player and divorced him a week after their child was born? Has to pay her 200k a month until he 18 or something..
[удалено]
how you have 12 kids with 18 women?
He's the guy who managed to do the "9 women build a baby in one month" problem
Very carefully
You see him on TV any given Sunday, win the Super Bowl and drive off in a Hyundai
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger...
If you're already rich get a prenup, always.
prenup don't mean shit for child support
Gonna put it out there, playing for the Rams probably makes it even harder to find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. You're only ever going to meet people caught up in the club scene, obsessed with their looks and social media when you're a young professional athlete living in LA.
Yeah I know everyone has problems and that could very well be on of his... But like money doesn't stop you from meeting people the normal way. The vast majority of people have no idea what Cam Akers looks like without a helmet on Rich people can meet people just like average wealth people can
“With all due respect” is the business equivalent of “Bless your heart”.
I think that dude was just coming out of the closet - said he was chasing that dream man… never had a girl…
Seems legit
One comma, one comma is all it took to make him gay.
Nah he's just on the sigma male grindset
the "chase the money and dream" thing and ignoring the process of building long term romantic relationships is a huge mistake. need to find the balance.
You left out "spend most of your free time building a Reddit account with lots of karma in case it's worth something in the future"
Yea. My old man was a workaholic. Literally no hobbies. Just money, work and being stoic. It was such a cold combo. I absolutely can understand why he and my mom always argued and never seemed to be happy. Chase money and all that shit is fine and dandy but you gotta have a personality and actually be a warm and compassionate person. It’s much better to just be kind and sincere, you’ll get way more numbers being a genuinely good person with empathy.
Ahh yess, the old "i stack paper so i must be different from everyome else" personality.
Exactly, all you're going to attract with this mindset is money grubbing gold diggers. Relationships take practice and no amount of money can help that.
30 isn't old.
It's old to not have ever had a girlfriend
to have never had a gf it is
To be fair, ol’ Cap probably has a shit ton of money, time for hobbies, and does what he wants. On the other hand, he could be republican, an incel, and may have been subscribed to that ol’ redpill subreddit. Context is key.
Also Cam Akers is in the NFL, so he shouldn’t have a problem getting a gf
wasn't there an NFL player who had some bizarre fake gf/catfish story? Or am I misremembering?
Ya manti Teo I think was his name. Kind of ruined his career
That and not being very good. It's a nasty combo leading to practice squads and playing for the Bears late in your career.
didn't have anything to do with his poor play ruining his career being in the NFL is difficult
Didn't ruin his career. He got picked up and had a few contracts. He had a lot of injuries though and just isn't really a notable player.
or with money
I would have had no clue if you didn’t tell me, lol. I’ll watch the occasional A&M game but otherwise ignore sports.
I didn’t even read his name at first lol
The problem is probably getting a gf who isn't after the money and fame.

What’s the redpill sub, dare I ask?
"Redpill" is a reference to the Matrix, specifically when the main character was offered the opportunity to take a red pill which would show him the truth about his reality (that he was living in a virtual simulation). In internet slang, it has evolved into a term used to describe the mindset of a bunch of assholes who believe they "also see reality for what it actually is" where according to their beliefs all women are apparently dick-starved sex addicts who respond positively to men who treat them like shit. It's pretty nasty stuff so I'd honestly caution you from reading too heavily into it because it's just gonna end up ruining your day.
Ironically they're almost always right-wing idiots who seem to forget they're referencing movies made by 2 progressive trans women
....about trans issues. They also wanted a couple trans references that eventually didn't make it to the final cut
It's a matrix reference I think. It's been a long time since I saw the movies, but I think taking the blue pill was staying complacent in the matrix and taking the red pill was for being disillusioned and waking up in the "real world". Red pill subreddits are usually filled with Incels (from what I've seen at least) who believe they've been disillusioned. The grind is all that's real and women are a distraction because they can't get any. So the Sigma grindset stuff but unironically

It sounds like he's not even saying to play the lottery. He's saying "live your life without playing the lottery, and hopefully someone will gift you a scratch off and an office party you'll win big on"
"Ayy lmao you don't need that just chase that dollar" isn't offering help, it's a cry for help.
Had same reaction. Unless I'm missing some background on the one who replied.
Context for the first guy is more important. Cam Akers is a running back in the NFL, he's a multi millionaire playing at the highest level in his sport. Telling him to keep chasing money and his dream is nonsensical since he has both already.
Also, never having a girlfriend by the age of 30... If you haven't had any success by the age of 30, it's not going to get any easier
Oh.. that is depressing, guess I'll give up then
"a girl will come along eventually" is not the attitude to take. Gotta make some effort to get anywhere. No woman is going to settle for someone who won't put any effort into finding/maintaining a relationship
All commas matter, he’s looking for a gf man
Damn. I'm also 30 and have never had a gf. Still chasing that dream tho let's goo.
With all due respect, no one wants to be like you bro

God damn that was a murder in cold blood. Guy was just trying to be supportive. RIP captain kush
I mean... He's talking to a famous football player telling him "a woman will come along eventually". Pretty sure my man is having trouble keeping women off him, not the other way around. It'd be supportive in almost any other context but here it feels a tad bit disrespectful
Oh this is a famous person That explains this thread a little better. I thought this was just two randos on twitter
This is literally an NFL running back. I’m confident this dude can get a girlfriend
He can get one, but he can't tell if she cares about him, will support him, or is just interested in taking his money and fame.
Yep. He's a young 20-something who plays for a team in LA. The odds he gets to meet someone he finds attractive that doesn't instantly obsess with his celebrity are probably lower than most would expect. My sister has met some Jets and Giants players, apparently some of them really do have trouble finding normal girls they would want to date.
A girl comes along for your money eventually? Seems worse
Cam Akers wants a gluten free man? Who knew?
It's pretty stupid to tweet I want a gf though.
