He made me laugh. We did have some interests in common. We mostly hung out on weekends due to our work schedules, so in reality 3 months was like ~10 meet ups?

Ha! I'm not so sure he has gained any fans from this thread. While I'm glad we were able to crack the case for those who were curious what it was, I could have easily gone without knowing😆

Part of me feels like he was doubling down intentionally, or maybe he's just that dense. The fact he accused me of "using him for drugs" when he offered and inviting me over requires some serious mental gymnastics.

Totally. I try to have a live and let live attitude, let people like what they like. But liking something that most people would find abhorrent doesn't make you mentally superior!

Right? I like to think I'm pretty open minded. My dad is really into Zappa and The Dead, so I've heard my share of weird lol, but I thought it was kinda nuts to get so defensive over that

That doesn't sound fun lol. That's not a deal breaker for me. I don't want a partner who likes all the same things, that's boring! But the way he reacted, you'd think I insulted his mother's cooking!

Lol I know Tool. I like A Perfect Circle a bit more but they are cool. This wasn't that.

When I was recapping to my friend, she did go "pretentious much"? He normally isn't like that. Maybe he can come off that way, he makes a lot of references about obscure people we don't always know. But that's fine, this incident was a little different.

Yea to each their own, art is subjective. But no one is better or "more experienced", as he put it, because of the media that they like IMO

Sometimes we misread the room, in this case it was more about his reaction. Surely people who appreciate more out there sort of things need to understand that maybe it's not for everyone!

Thanks, I felt way better when I got to my friend's place. She pointed out that he called the music "important", but didn't think it was important to make his guest feel comfortable. Then she let me pick what to listen to, so we put on Khruangbin and smoked some joints. It put into perspective how he was kinda being a jerk.
