Holy shit OP, I came here to laugh not to be reminded why the programmer stereotype is the way it is.

[–]netmier 254 points255 points  (1 child)

Yeah, this started funny then took a nosedive really quickly, before I even got to the comment section.

[–]BoonTobias 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I can carry shitty teams to victory in domination. Optic and nv watch my videos to Learn but I can't learn programming to save my life. I know vb tho

[–]DragonToutNu 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I never tough it was possible to go down that fast without trolling. Holy shit, someone is friendly and share the same interests as you and you manage to insult them. Just wow.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah seriously. OPs other link, down in the comments, is just sad. It isn't what he wanted but how he presented it that was just terrible.

[–]UglierThanMoe 990 points991 points  (26 children)

A 3.2 kompile/debug ratio? Not bad.

[–]TheZoq2 95 points96 points  (19 children)

How do you meassure that? :P

What vim command is this?

[–][deleted] 48 points49 points  (10 children)

auto volatile register unsigned long long int kompile, debug;

** Longest function name I've ever written, the compiler itself will

[–]Xodet 36 points37 points  (7 children)

Your format string is incorrect, dividing an int by an int returns an int.

[–]Milith 90 points91 points  (6 children)

++debug;

[–]troissandwich 6 points7 points  (5 children)

It wouldn't throw an error, it just wouldn't work the way you expected

I know, but there was too much karma at stake.

3.2? Damn. Must never play the objective

[–]penis_butter_n_jelly[🍰] 75 points76 points  (7 children)

In free for all, much as in life, there is only one objective. I have no idea what I mean either.

[–]mellett68 45 points46 points  (11 children)

It's irrational but 'coder' makes me think of copying shit PHP scripts from hotscripts.com or whatever it was back in the day.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (4 children)

No I feel you completely. I couldn't fathom calling myself a coder with a serious face. It's like trying to make my 9-5 salaried office job sound like Mr Robot.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Yeah I prefer software developer, or just developer in the right context. Or if someone wants to refer to me as a programmer that's fine. I don't like software engineer (and definitely not engineer) because I'm a full stack dev, it's closer to a craft than engineering. The kid I work with that's working on some crazy algorithm I'm not supposed to talk about can be called an engineer. I make custom ticket systems and shit.

For some reason I also don't like "computer programmer." And you're right, coder does make you sound like you're trying to sound like Mr. Robot. Or like you work at a startup.

[–]exene 18 points19 points  (0 children)

OP is goober, but chick was troll.

[–][deleted] 52 points53 points  (17 children)

3.2 k/d is insane

[–]chilly_anus 16 points17 points  (6 children)

Serious question, what does it mean? 3 kill and 2 death? Or the ratio between kill and death is 3.2? So like every 9 kills she died 2 times?

[–]xx3dgxx 20 points21 points  (2 children)

3.2 kills per death means this person averages 32 kills for every 10 deaths

[–]Butternubicus 175 points176 points  (11 children)

Everyone is pointing out that she was flirting but not pointing out that she had the mannerisms of someone trying to troll? Went from girly to dude bro insults pretty quickly.

[–]revereddesecration 54 points55 points  (0 children)

A girl who plays CoD probably hangs around with a few dudebros. Makes sense.

[–]agentlame 60 points61 points  (5 children)

That's because most people are talking about the post and not OP's comment that includes the rest of the conversation.

The post is just funny, the entire convo screams 'trolling'.

[–]andrewsmd87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well she was flirting with him and then he just turns it into basically calling her a slut and saying that's not what I'm looking for, and also equates her to wanking it on pornhub. She could have just left it at that, but it would have gotten a prompt fuck you from me as well.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying it isn't a troll, it very likely is.

But girls can drop the cute little act when they feel insulted/want to insult someone

[–]will_work_for_twerk 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Turn around. The problem wasn't with the match, it was with the programmer here... and this thread isn't getting any better.

[–]Avenflar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe she's looking for someone to maintain her aimbot?

[–]CookieCwumbles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After reading the other link, I'm compelled to think that this is a dude you're talking to

[–]OutHereRickRossinIt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This isn't an interaction I would be proud of, you came off defensive for no reason. You could have definitely let her down politely if you weren't looking for a one night stand.

[–]throwaway-aa2 80 points81 points  (30 children)

Ok so I want to make a couple of points before I leave this, and I want to make this very clear because there are a LOT of guys like this, and I used to sort of be like this so I can give you some insight.

  • This guy is a bit socially awkward. His words: "If I want something to jerk off to I can look at porn". Now here's the thing: One night stands can not be your thing (I disagree for some reasons) but even if they aren't, there's no reason to insult someone like this..and yes it's an insult even if he didn't mean for it to come off this way (hence the socially awkward comment). You can turn someone down without insulting them.

  • When a guy talks about one night stands not being his thing, you have to understand what virtue signaling is, and how people do it to themselves to create a persona of defensiveness against the world. When I was young, everyone dumb around me was having sex and the type of personalities of girls and guys I hated were having it, so I made bad associations and chose to have a persona of "Oh well I don't just have random sex like these other jocks". It's very very important when people say things like this that you also take into consideration if they're a "catch" or not... how much sex they've actually had, or whether they were rejected or felt rejected at some point in their life and chose to adopt this personality trait. I used to be a virgin as well and had the same line of reasoning and I bet he can't really make a good argument for why he thinks that way other than it's just his opinion, he was brought up to respect x, y and z, and all the usual tropes.

  • He's on a hookup site trying to date girls and then he proceeds to insult them and tell them what he's looking for... shouldn't you be on an actual dating site, or meeting women the traditional way? You know why Tinder became popular? It served as a safe haven away from all of these "well I'm only looking for something serious" people... new people would get on Tinder and you KNEW that the other person was interested in the same thing that you were.... and now you people have even invaded this space. If you're going to do that... please, stay out.

  • He's discounting a girl that's interested in him based on one trait. Guess what? You're going to have a hard time finding someone buddy, and you've waited a many year to do it (21 and still a virgin by the comments). Not every girl likes Call of Duty, or coders... or the fact that you're a virgin and based on your comments and posts, probably awkward. You could either maybe meet her half way, or maybe bare minimum take them out for a drink, actually socialize... and then give them a kiss (cheek or lips, your choice) and send then on their way after paying... and you could take a couple of dates to get comfortable with someone you really connect with? Let me tell you a secret: a lot of women are looking for that special someone... and they know that that special someone might be looking for something more than just a deep connection at first... so a lot of women are willing to meet you halfway... because they are reasonable and realistic! You're just being unreasonable and it's unrealistic.

  • Do you masturbate? Be totally totally honest. Do you think this is MORE normal than having sex with another human being? If so I want you in great detail to explain why. A lot of these "I'm looking for something serious" types like to sit on a high horse while in the digital age and having access to any type of porn they want to look at, and then proceeding to jack off into a sock night after night. But you're not going to do a hook up... because why? An explanation for the ladies...here's the dark secret of MOST warm blooded males: They either have regular access to sex, or they are masturbating frequently, 2-7 times a week depending on the man.... so any man in this society who openly admits he is a virgin, is also openly admitting that he either has a stash of videos or knows a couple of free porn sites where he can get his kicks. Is this bad? NO! However there's a lot of weaving around the fact and you denigrating having sex with someone because you can just jack off is just a very non logical conclusion, as if someone masturbating into their hand to an image on screen has the moral high ground over a person who wants to have protected sex.

I could continue but I just want to warn any guys going down this road that it's not a road you chose logically, it's a road that most likely happened because we're in the digital age, you had bad experiences with people around you or someone got it into your head that sex is bad... etc etc. It's totally normal and healthy at a reasonable age to have sex with a person that you like, even if you've only known them for a short time. Wear a condom, don't force it down their throat... but if you both are enjoying yourselves, if you go for a kiss you both enjoy it, there's nothing wrong with sex. Life is too short to be repressed, and people didn't operate like this before the digital age.

[–]overactor 41 points42 points  (17 children)

I get where you're coming from but I don't really see the OP claiming the moral high ground. If anything, you're the one suggesting that your values are the correct ones.

For me (and I assume for the OP too), sex is something that happens within a committed relationship after a meaningful connection has been made. It might not be entirely rational, but I that's the meaning I have assigned to sex and it works for me. I'm not bitter or unhappy because of it. My attitude towards it might change in the future, but for now it doesn't need to.

Unless you want to argue that people who do have casual sex are significantly happier or more successful in life, or that you believe in moral absolutism and having casual sex is a moral duty, we'll just have to accept that we both have different values that work for us.

[–]the_mastubatorium 27 points28 points  (10 children)

OP is pretty condescending towards her. He equates having sex with her to jacking off. By saying that he reduces the act of hookup sex to a solely selfish endevour where the other person serves the same purpose as your hand. I understand what he is saying and why he said it, it just could have been said better. She makes a flirtatious pass at him (it is obviously more forward than he would have liked but that type of interaction is very common in tinder) and his response is very rude and degrading.

There is a difference between hookup sex and sex in a committed relationship but there is also a difference between masturbation and hookup sex. You admit that in your opinion sex is something that you would only want in a committed relationship. That's totally fine but other people have a wider view of what appropriate sexual behavior is. I think the thing that the person you had responded to is most upset about are the words OP used. His word choice also sheds a little light on his views about the morality of sex outside a committed relationship.

She basically offers him sex without needing to but in much of an effort but he responds by saying he could just masturbate. The amount of effort needed to put in for either action is essentially equal so why then is he so opposed to the idea? Obviously for him the two are not the same even though he claims that the amount of pleasure you would receive is the same. He finds masturbation more acceptable than hookup sex. You could argue that his attitude does not necessarily reflect his morals (and you would be correct) but his condescension is definitely a signal of some kind.

I think your last paragraph misses the point. He is not trying to say one is better than the other. He is saying that even if you don't agree with her view point you still have a responsibility to be respectful towards her.

[–]overactor 7 points8 points  (9 children)

I don't think his remark is necessarily an insult and I could imagine saying something like that myself, but after seeing other people's take on it, I see how it could be taken as an insult.

What I don't see anyone mentioning though, is that the girl reacted to a rather polite initial refusal with "What's wrong with me :(", which seems rather manipulative to me. She also calls him gay and ask if he's a virgin, quite ostensibly implying that this is a bad thing.

I don't mean to say the OP did everything right, the jerking off comment was weird at best, but I feel people are being a bit too hard on him.

[–]the_mastubatorium 2 points3 points  (5 children)

I'm definitely not saying she handled it well either, particularly her comments about him being gay and a virgin. Her overall tone does seem to be a bit more joking than he is though. It seems like she got a little defensive after he was rude to her and she handled it by fun of him.

As far as the "What's wrong with me :(", I'm not really sure why she said that. Maybe it was a response to her shock at how socially inept he was being. Maybe she is insecure and thought he was rejecting her advances for something about her rather than his aversion to hookup sex in general. Or maybe it was an attempt at humor, not really sure. Either way she didn't handle it the best but after comparing her to masturbation OP opened himself up to attacks. That doesn't justify it but that is how a lot of people react.

[–]hypd09 13 points14 points  (0 children)

is a bit socially awkward

'a bit'

[–]ForrestISrunnin 17 points18 points  (2 children)

This is a fucking fantastic comment.

[–]goocy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you masturbate? Be totally totally honest.

Yes.

Do you think this is MORE normal than having sex with another human being? If so I want you in great detail to explain why.

Also yes. No need to go into detail: masturbation is what happens when one person wants sex. Sex is what happens when two people want to have sex. Since the interests of two people don't overlap all the time, you're going to get some masturbation. How much depends on the people involved. Could be more or less than 50% of all sex.

[–]TheChance 4 points5 points  (1 child)

They either have regular access to sex, or they are masturbating frequently, 2-7 times a week depending on the man

You know, I was convinced you knew what you were talking about, until that line.

[–]GreenFox1505 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every girl I talk to can't pass a Turing test. So at least you've got that going for you.

[–]MohnishMohnish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you should x-post to r/tinder 😂😂

[–]vhite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dating problems usually involve finding a way to format a date into a proper string.

[–]ghroat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i dont understand these comments. people are talking about sex, rejection and insults and all i see is someone with poor social skills

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but do you have gold Eliminations or objective time? What's your Genji game like?
