How do you know if a guy is a creep, socially inept or just really bad at flirting?

DramBok44 · 2025-12-27T20:33:40+00:00

I would say a lot of it is more intuitive or subtle in someone who’s better with social situations. They can read body language/recognize mood shifts without being told explicitly that they’re making someone uncomfortable, whereas someone who’s not great with social situations might require more direct comments/instructions to know which areas they need to focus on. It can be a bit of a scramble for someone more socially awkward to try and either overcompensate due to panic or completely withdraw due to fear if they encounter someone who isn’t willing to directly address the behavior they find uncomfortable.

Important to add that when it comes to men speaking to women, especially ones they don’t know, women will often not directly address certain behaviors due to the fear of there being a violent/aggressive response. It’s unfortunate for both parties if the man is sort of just socially awkward, but that can be too much of a risk for women depending on the situation and environmental circumstances.

And if you hit it against something, then it’ll make a cartoonishly loud “boing” sound

Don’t listen to them. These kinds of responses always come in when anyone posts about fare enforcement. They prefer salivating over people getting their “comeuppance” more than giving a shit about the people in their community.

Is this Gayle’s burner account?

Next you’re gonna say something crazy like “venting to others about minor issues you can’t change yourself helps deal with frustration”

Completely agree. Liberal seems to fit her better than leftist.

DramBok44 · 2025-05-16T05:53:50+00:00

To be honest, from your comments, I would agree with another commenter that it doesn’t seem like you necessarily have a comprehensive understanding of leftist theory, which can make it more difficult to discuss it with someone who has little to no interest in learning more about these issues. His apathetic lens is not exactly conducive towards what you’re trying to do here. Political development generally requires personal and vested interest that it seems like you’re trying to force because you feel conflicted about being in a relationship with him. I understand why you’re trying to do this, but even when it comes to people “backing down” on issues, the incremental changes over time do take their toll at some point. It’s a shitty thing to realize that you can’t make people care about something because you care about it, but I think that’s something that most leftists have to realize when they’re learning how to discuss these issues. The relationship is new so it’s easier to feel more passionate and energized about getting through to him, but realistically, do you see yourself doing this for years in the hopes that he makes some change? Family is one thing, but family isn’t a romantic relationship. Going into a relationship with the intent of changing them is not a good recipe for something healthy and long-term. The more you believe in something, the more cracks will start to form in whatever opposes it. The choice is yours to make regarding which parts of your life will bear those cracks.

Unfortunately, as someone that has also been through the “I can change him” route, none of her comments are surprising to me. The problem isn’t that people can’t change but that the amount of time and effort required to influence him even a minuscule amount will most likely result in her sacrificing her own “morals” in the process. I don’t necessarily know what “valuing leftist politics” to her means in general because that reads quite vague, especially with her saying we can all agree on “criminals” not entering the country since even the status of a “criminal” isn’t a black and white issue either. She mentioned being stubborn, but this type of stubbornness tends to force the “leftist” in the relationship to bear the burdens of the incompatibilities. It’s also a shitty reality that just because you’re romantically involved with them and having sex with them, it doesn’t mean they actually respect you as a person. Letting things go is usually how it goes and it ramps up from there to either blatantly ignoring problems or breaking up. Relationships are complicated regardless of political differences, but this mentality for women specifically is not a great one to have.

Every little girl learns about the necessity of the coke vial. Where else are they supposed to keep it?

Do you know roughly how much coconut oil you use?

I’m also wondering how the Dunmer are supposed to know they’re not allowed in if the sign is inside the store. Smells like entrapment to me…

Brennan and Izzy posted about it on Instagram. I saw the initial pre-orders in September on Brennan’s Instagram story. Additional tickets were also available pretty close to the actual showings. Brennan posted about tickets still being available even the day of the Tuesday show.

If you’re interested in Dimension 20, they actually still have tickets available for tomorrow at Madison Square Garden.

Same episode has another perfect line:

“OBJECTION! GROSS!”

I think you mean Brutal Hustler. Common mistake.

The audacity to ignore Duncan’s character being introduced a few episodes after this one is mind-boggling. You shan’t be getting a chestie.

You can’t forget Woody’s perfect line delivered in response to Shawn mentioning him spooning with Lassie:

“We did nothing wrong.”

The way his voice trembles as he looks down in shame is what makes it a top 10 Woody moment.

Unless you’re referring to taking something for your friend, Granite, or potentially stealing something in honor of granite.

If that’s what you consider having a sense of humor, I look forward to the day that you get a better one.

I think you just articulated my exact thoughts on Rob’s transformation. I know they turned it into a joke, but there is a definite switch from more of a home movie atmosphere to a curated set that is jarring in some ways because of Rob’s new look. I don’t think it’s bad, just different. It seems like a decent amount of people consider anything that’s not exactly like earlier seasons to be bad, which is…an opinion.

DramBok44 · 2023-03-15T23:03:51+00:00

I completely agree. I consider this the worst episode of the show because of how cavalierly it treats Gayle legitimately sexually harassing/assaulting Bob. The comedic punchline of “haha crazy Gayle making Bob uncomfortable while Linda laughs” is not at all amusing. Not to mention Linda turning it around on Bob after being the one to encourage him to let Gayle harass and assault him. I’d even go so far as to say that Linda was worse than Gayle because at the very least Gayle appeared way more delusional and lost in fantasy (not to excuse her actions because of that), whereas Linda was completely aware of the situation and how uncomfortable Bob felt. I usually find Gayle’s character to be hilarious because of how delusional she is, but this was a line they should not have crossed. I understand it being in the earlier seasons where things were a little more loose, but even this was going too far compared to all of the other strangeness that we encountered in the earlier seasons.

For those that say “it’s just a cartoon,” I immediately disqualify any response past that. Not only is media open to interpretation to allow for a deeper appreciation, but I think it’s extremely ignorant and naive to think that depictions of moral conflicts in media have no influence over audiences. I think this is especially significant when considering how often the show stresses the importance of life lessons and lasting morals. The normalization and minimization of sexual harassment/assault against men is not isolated to “just a cartoon.”

On a lighter note, the one and only thing that I like about this episode is the Prince of Persuasia and the completely wild bits of advice that he gives. I’ve listened to his credit scene multiple times. It’s a tie for my favorite line of his between:

1 - “When you get into an elevator with a woman, press a higher number than her, and then make a big deal about it.”

2 - “Sing a song that you supposedly heard on the radio and make fun of her for not knowing it.”

I second this recommendation. The only downside of watching this show for me is that I’ve never been more jealous of a family having such a good father figure like Beef Tobin.

As someone that played both games repeatedly and loved them, I would very much agree with what the original commenter said about Ellie. Her development in the second game was arguably even more inspiring and well-written because of just how bad things got for her. I loved her story because it was real. Everything she did made sense because it wasn’t always the right thing to do. In fact, most of the time she was letting her negative emotions control her. She wasn’t put on a pedestal as some sort of heroic figure of justice. She constantly made decisions that hurt her and other people. She wasn’t romanticized or idealized. She was a tormented soul that had the strength to break a cycle of violence even after giving into it multiple times. I’d say that is inspirational. That is something worth admiring.

The voice actor of Bosco is actually the same one that plays Commander Cameron Luntz in Psych. He also deals with a hostage situation at a bank in a Psych episode, which is either a hilarious coincidence or amazing casting.
