MEN ONLY WANT 3 THINGS

Overview

A meme that parodies the common 'men only want 3 things' joke format. The top text reads 'MEN ONLY WANT 3 THINGS', followed by three entries. The first two entries list traditional societal expectations: 'Citizen: Buy a house' and 'Married: Get married'. The third entry humorously subverts expectations with a gaming reference: 'Dragon Soul: Absorb a dragon soul', a nod to the video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim where absorbing dragon souls is a core mechanic.

Origin notes

The meme originates from Reddit, as indicated by the source 'Reddit:Meme'. It is a remix of the popular 'men only want 3 things' meme template, which typically lists three humorous or relatable things. This version adds a specific reference to Skyrim's dragon souls, likely created by a user using a meme generator to edit the template.

The meme is formatted as a humorous comparison guide titled 'How to tell them apart'. The first row shows an illustration of a traditional red-scaled western dragon with large wings, standing on a rocky forested cliff, labeled 'Dragon' to its right. The second row shows an illustration of a long, slender, serpentine black dragon flying over jagged snowy mountains, labeled 'A Man' to its right. The joke leans into absurdist, niche humor by providing an intentionally unhelpful, nonsensical distinction between the two dragon illustrations that has no logical basis, with comedy derived from the unexpected, absurd pairing of the serpentine dragon with the 'A Man' label.
