I often see a lot of people on the internet using such constructions:
Me seeing real couples.
It's incorrect grammar but I don't know why they use it so much. What exactly does it mean? Can someone explain this? (I have been learning English for 2 months.)
In the absence of any further context, this style is often accompanied by an image that reflects how the writer feels in a particular situation. I would interpret "Me seeing real couples" as a shorthand for "This is an image of me seeing real couples". The image chosen by the writer might be of a person (usually not themselves) or animal looking surprised, disgusted, happy or some other emotion but in an exaggerated way.
Adding to @Leachoid's answer, we often see this kind of style used in memes. In memes, you do have a slight limit in terms of space, so—like in headlines—we delete words that are extraneous or unnecessary.
The full sentence, obviously, would be:
[This is] me seeing real couples.
As with captions, which is what meme-text really is, you don't need the 'this is' part- because the text is already right next to the image that you're describing.
