The 'I Just Looked at Your Profile I Didn't Realize You Were a Lady' meme satirizes the sudden shift in tone some internet users experience when they discover their perceived opponent is a woman. Often associated with 'fedora-tipping' stereotypes and awkward online chivalry, the phrase highlights the irony of people being aggressive until gender is revealed. It gained traction across platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook as a way to mock performative politeness or creepy behavior in digital spaces. Users typically apply this template to show someone immediately backpedaling from an insult to a bizarre attempt at flirtation or respect.
