I will be honest, I’m somewhat proud of my proficiency level in English, especially considering I learned russian and German in school.

Don’t worry about it. Your English is probably fine.
I’m high and also kinda struggled to understand it

same here, had to read 3 times and rely on context. it does seem like they are using complex language just for the sake of using complex language

Change your perspective and imagine the meme was made by a (male) incel and you’ll get what they were getting at.

Guy that’s mad because he’s been flirting with a woman and wants to get with her but she explains to him that she doesn’t wanna be with him but just wants him to want her.
It’s not how I read it initially, but hear me out…
Wants to get in a relationship but can’t? Check. Blames the woman for it? Check Incel’s perspective checks out, imo.

Yeah, the person portrayed would still be the problem.
