How did that 22-year-old get on in the date his dad set him up with?

Post deleted. Account deleted. It can only mean one thing.
He finally got laid.
Goodbye hero. You will be missed.

Call it a tinfoil hat, but there have been a dozen posts centring around close parent offspring relationships, sharing a bed in a new flat with dad, dad buying an expensive edible flower bouquet for daughter, and many others. All of which seem to garner a lot of attention, then get deleted. These posts have been popping up over the years.
I had been collecting screenshots but the phone I was using is broken.
Anyway, with the deleted post in question, the response style of op seemed similar to other now deleted posts and I believe these posts are fake and are coming from one person/ai/org.

There are a lot of people and bots alike who use forums like this, Reddit mostly, but also smaller ones, to push narratives, to experiment in pushing narratives, to probe how easy it is to change perceptions among a select group of people about a topic.
It may not even be apparent what the goal is or why people or agencies are going through this much trouble, but there are complicated interconnections that a lot of people are trying to explore every day and set up intersecting narratives for tomorrow.
Not all of them are going to be at all successful, meaningful or even make sense. That’s part of it too, to see how people respond to almost random new narratives and topics becoming more prevalent.
Basically, trust no one, believe nothing. Go outside, make friends, kill your social media, be social in real life, exercise and stop spending money. If we all did this the bot-farms and corruption would dry out overnight.

the intersecting narratives I had pick up on is ‘too close for comfort’ parenting eg helicopter parenting. infantilizing ones own parent and cloaked romantic jestures (akin to kissing a parent on the lips, something that is odd but can pass by as normal in some family structures). these narratives seem to be pushed with stories to paraphrase (badly) “I am my mothers IT guy also her carer, also I am trapped” this was to a holy incapable mother who would loose passwords and act with aggression and guilt. now this one i am somewhat hesitant to call out but it did fit the mo.
(gender indeterminate) “me and my dad have a new flat that he bought, we are sharing a bed” followed with a picture of a very modern but empty living space with a double bed. I believe this had been the first of the kind of post I seen, this one garnered alot of reaction comments and likes respectively and in the affirmative. i truly believe this one to be fake but for what reason someone would craft this post isn’t apparent.
A photo of a large and what one would assume, very expensive edible bouquet with a title and short comment from OP again to butcher the quite) “my dad bout me this edible bouquet” and the comment I can’t remember but the vibe was one of appreciation and gratitude.
most of the posts I had seen used a photo of an object or place but not all.

For what it’s worth, I was skeptical of it too, but I still gave it a real answer. A lot of times even if I think something is probably fake I still try to answer it genuinely. Unless I’m like >90% sure it’s fake.

Not that surprising, people who venture onto the fediverse are typically more paranoid and will be much more likely than a redditor to delete posts. I’ve done that a lot, and I also notice a lot of comments getting deleted after like a month.
Its just how fediverse is.

Pretty sure Dad was using his son as a proxy.
I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It was fake. Obvious from how the texts were structured. It was also from a brand new account.
I thought Lemmy would be better than reddit for spotting clearly fake shit, but pretty much everyone in the comments bought it hook, like, and sinker.

Your average person is pretty god damn gullible, and while most on Lemmy think they’re smarter than the average person, they’re not.

Only deleted the post, not his account? If so, just message him and ask?

Explanation for those of us out of the loop?
frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
There was a post a post in this comm on Tuesday.
Title something like ‘should I be embarassed’
Pic was a screenshot of text messages: Dad says, “You’re 22, you’ve never had a girlfriend, I’ve arranged a date for you on Friday [i.e. the 15th]. She’s 27. Pics to follow. No objections.” The son was posting asking advice should he go or not.
The post is now deleted. We wanna know how the date went.

Lmfao my older brother is about to get into an arranged marriage (as in the consensual type), this is much more tame in comparison.
