The context is that OOP got catfished by a dude. The joke is that they were naive enough to fall for it in this day and age.

I think (2) is the far more likely scenario.

My first thought is that this is dumb, since if this made actual financial sense, the car parks would already be doing this. So by creating an additional expense, what they are actually doing is disincentivizing the creating of car parks.

My second thought was: “good”

Please re-read my earlier comment. I was literally saying that I don’t approach women in grocery stores, because that would be weird. I was pushing back against another comment saying that not approaching women in grocery stores was objectifying them.

Edit: I just went to a grocery store. Had a pleasant conversation with the pharmacist at the counter while I picked up my prescription. Didn’t hit on her, because that would be weird.

Saying “don’t ever express your sexual or romantic interest in women, just be their friend and eventually they’ll come around” is the cringy, needy, “nice guy” playbook. It (1) never works, (2) is disingenuous, and (3) never gets you any closer to having any sexual or romantic partners in the long run.

I’m not saying “don’t be friends with women”. I’m saying - if you are into a girl, make a fucking move. Clearly and openly express your interest and take rejection on the chin. And don’t assume that getting romantically rejected means you can’t be friends afterwards and use that as an excuse to procrastinate.

Where did I say I’m making it her problem?

Step two: realize that you can become hot by putting in a reasonable amount of effort.

Did you get a huge fly tattooed on your thigh because you’re a stinky bitch?

No pull, but got a huge laugh.

Pretty sure this post is shitting on peogressives

I wanna see this venture bros episode

I certainly do. I have a lot of female friends. They like me a lot. And I have several ongoing female fwbs. They also like me a lot. And I like and care about my female friends and partners a lot.

None of this changes the fact that literally the only thing I know and like about random grocery store girl is her nice ass, and this is the one and only real reason I would want to approach her. I’ve tried your suggestion before, and I have to say, it’s pretty fucked up. Because what you’re actually saying is “Your sexuality is wrong and bad, and you should be ashamed of it. You are a bad person for wanting to have sex.” So much for sex positivity and not kink shaming, lol. Turns out the most common kink of all - wanting to have sex with hot women - is shameful. Weird how that works.

But at the same time if you try to make friend with more women, maybe one day, you’ll find a partner in one of them. If you genuinly try to make connection with a woman in a non-sexual and non-romantical way and after sometime, you feel like having another kind of relation, it is totally different and not creepy at all.

This is terrible advice. Don’t listen to it OP! She’s sending you down the nice guy friend zone trap!

As a guy, I can firmly say that I’ve never made a friend at the bank, grocery store, or coffee shop. If anyone started talking to me at one of these places, I would be very confused, and wonder why they are talking to me and what they are trying to get from me. And similarly, I have never struck up a conversation with anyone in these places - that would be super weird.

Of course, I see hot women in these places frequently, and I’d like to talk to them. Well, not really talk to them so much as fuck them. I’d like to say “hey, you have a really nice ass. Wanna bang one out in the bathroom right now?” Which is not unusual - this is just standard male sexuality. Hence why if you look on Grindr, a guy’s profile will be a picture of his asshole, and a common opener is “Hey, you in the McDonalds too? Wanna fuck in the bathroom right now?”

Unfortunately as a guy talking to a nice lady in the grocery store, that would be sexual harassment, and then I would be banned from that Safeway or whatever. So if I want to approach the girl with a nice ass, I need to have some kind of excuse - like, I dunno, what apples she’s looking at or whatever. But now it feels like I’m lying, because I don’t give a shit about apples - I just care about her nice ass.

Tbf, I don’t think this new drug would do anything about them either, considering it only blocks periferal pain.

A drug that gives you the feeling of bbqing with friends and family in the city park. Lit

… yeah. That’s the “quitting” part. You aren’t doing your job, but you are quiet about it so you keep getting paid. That’s what this phrase means.

And yet I keep seeing Trump’s name and picture next to German words I can’t read here… curious.

I dunno. I’m not Japanese.

Lol, wtf? I’ve thrown around insulation so many times without gloves. No pain in my hands!
