I smiled at a girl in college once. A day later she infodumped everything she knew about Capgras syndrome on me out of the blue. 11/10 would recommend.

...and then you got replaced by a lizard person and she never spoke to you again?

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

How did you know? 🤣

Women don't enjoy being approached in public.

I went on a date with a guy in college and he talked about how big various anime girls tits were the entire time. Insta-ghost. Idk if that was a fixable personality trait but it wasn't my responsibility anyway.

Not quite as bad, but I went on a date with someone that just explained video games I hadn't played. He would ask about a video game and if I hadn't played it he'd speak about it uninterrupted for 10-20 minutes explaining the levels. Not even interesting lore or anything. It would be like listening to someone explain a speedrun, but their speedrun is just playing the game normally. I like video games and play with my partners and friends, and I even watch videos about video games I haven't played and I could only stand 3 of these rounds before ending the date. He was completely uninterested in talking about anything else and didn't even want to talk about games I had actually played. Only games I knew nothing about. Totally bizarre. It felt like a prank. Would make a great greentext from his perspective though.

Man that reminds me a lot of the game, oh I forget the name of it, but it had some vowels in the name, where you go in thinking the point is to kick a lot of butts and towers but it turns out the real point of the game is getting your ass kicked and having your team yell at you.

Like this one time I was playing and wanted to try this annoying character that bugged the hell out of me when others played him. Can't remember the name but he'd go like "ahhhhh" and then you'd be slow and couldn't use abilities even if you ran away and the ground would do this explody thing. Doesn't that sound soooo annoying? Anyways, I decided to try playing as this guy but I kept just dying instead of annoying the other team.

I see you want to say something but shut up for a bit, I'm not done yet.

So then I decided to try jungling. No, not juggling, I mean fighting the guys in the jungle. That way, I don't keep giving gold and xp to the other team when I repeatedly die, except for a few times when I accidentally thought their base was the jungle.

Anyways, we should play some games after we have sex at the end of the date. If you brought a gaming laptop, at least. If not, you can watch me play or give me a bj while I play or something so it's fun for you, too.

The cringe is so real. I had a guy bring his gaming laptop to a third date at my place. I was super into him and we went to my bedroom and he just set up his laptop. I could not pull him away from showing me his cool single player gaming collection. It's my fault because I kept going out with guys I met at cons. After the third time you think I'd learn my lesson but I didn't stop until poly became more pervasive and I ended up on dates with people who just forgot to mention that. I don't mind poly but you should be upfront about it. So glad I don't have to date anymore. It's an absolute disaster out there. Best of luck to everyone still doing it.

I had a coworker which just talked about Destiny just like you said. It was the main thing you'd hear from him, and he would just talk about the plays he did. I don't even play Destiny... People just started avoid talking to him

I wonder if he'll have a moment of clarity in a decade or so about how weird that was?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago

Nah, he'll blame it all on wokism.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 22 points 1 day ago

I'm sad to say that I wouldn't bet on it...

This reminded me of this date I went on with a girl in college. I don't remember exactly what she said, but she talked about how she killed her pet hamster for a while when she was younger. I don't remember how, but it wasn't an accident IIRC. It's fair to say there wasn't a second date. Lol.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, girls have boobs, so they must like to talk about them, right? Right???

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

Some of them do, but best not to assume so!

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

OH this instantly reminded me of some people, of which one person who's small talk of choice before and after lectures was what a turn on blood letting was, in that class there was also a chick who went to someones house in the forest to see the kitten they just got. without knowing thier name because they just met them (is it meet if you know 0% about someone except they live in the forest and have a cat at the end of "meeting" them)...it is almost surprising they have not been assaulted more.

Seems like an appropriate response to a man who takes a womens studies course to try and pick up women

Especially if he doesn't bathe

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 72 points 1 day ago (10 children)

Why do you assume is a women studies course?

[–] Azzu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 23 hours ago (11 children)

And why do they assume he doesn't bathe?
