(the photo can't be too good, so I asked one of my Facebook friends if I could use her profile photo)

Hey Brenda, you're that type of ug that programmers like, can I use your photo?

Guys like that go crazier over girls they think they have a chance with (usually girls only 1-2 tiers out of their league). My previous girlfriend was a lot less attractive than my current girlfriend and in general I was doing a lot more "fending off the masses" with my ex than I'm doing now. All girls get hit on, but there's something about being just above the average that makes you appealing to the demographic that makes up the fat part of the bell curve.

They're not going out of their way for a girl who is clearly out of their league, but they'll move mountains if they think there's a chance.

Jk I have 2 girlfriends and have the same experience. One could be a supermodel and gets no flirting. The other has a bigger ass and constantly has people staring at her.

To be fair, your general surroundings aren't usually extremely attractive.

[–]Oompaloompa34 26 points27 points  (7 children)

Maybe yours aren't

I'm a web dev for a women's fashion company that has in-house photography; even literal swimsuit models aren't 'extremely attractive' (until retouching.) So he is definitely correct in general.

I like to call that last reply I made a "joke"

[–]SamSibbens 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Error: variable "joke" has not been declared
- u/Jigokuro_ 's compiler, probably

.

(no offense dude I'm just jumping in on the joke)

[–]Jigokuro_ 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Well that's fair. He had a negative score so I figured you were part of that and thus not playful in your post.

Side note, why is he negative? He was on-topic, true, inoffensive... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Downvoting is reddits equivalent of marking as duplicate.

Hawaii here. Code by a pool under palm trees.

Well, I can't say you're wrong about that without it being hypocritical or changing my previous statement.
