I would be taking pictures of myself constantly if I owned a sweet PRS (I think that's one, or some ESP/Ibanez-style copy). The way he's holding it with the neck on his shoulder makes me want to pop him one, though.

Basically, this girl got a ride from some guy using an admittedly shady-as-hell-sounding ride sharing app called Lyft. The driver got her number somehow and proceeded to creep the gently caress out. When all else fails, he fakes having cancer :psyduck: in an attempt to get a response.

Oh my god. For some people simply making eye contact is leading them on. What is their problem? A sense of entitlement and/or desperation?

Anyway, was waiting to get my iPhone fixed at the Apple store today so I walked around the mall, which I rarely do. There is literally nothing there I want. Anyway, there was a chalk A-frame outside the Hot Topic with a pony crudely drawn on it saying something like, "I smell your cash!"

If I had my phone I would have taken a photo.

I can't believe the brony thing is so carried away that even businesses openly mock their customer base.

And as a bonus: the lowest button on his jacket is actually buttoned, where it shouldn't be!

Fun fact:
The only reason having the lowest button undone is a thing is because Edward VII king of the UK was rather fat and couldn't properly button his coat because of his large gut. Since Ed was a inbred German and therefore hip and cool this became quite fashionable but it doesn't really make sense if you aren't really fat.

Can you at least summarize the situation and why it's 3 times worse?

Her neighbor got her number under some pretense of a common interest of gardening and just sent her the craziest string of texts. He would send "hey whats up?" type messages and when she didn't respond he would send absolutely massive walls of texts about how he would never find a girlfriend because of his ADD and how he cries himself to sleep every night, but it's all good because he's starting Yoga classes soon . Then she says something like "I hope you get the help you need and meet some cool people in your classes". Then he get's really gross and starts talking about what a considerate lover he is and how much he loves to go down on girls and when that doesn't get a response he literally says "gently caress it! I am done with this nice guy bullshit you bitch!" Then he immediately backpedals with a bunch of smilies and tries to act cool again.
After that it's just a bunch of "I feel so silly I don't want you to hate me so I left you a bottle of wine/bag of mulch on your porch" texts (Which he did actually leave on the porch) Also, all of the texts started out with him needing to use some battery charger that she has?

That synopsis doesn't really do it justice, but you get the idea. He eventually hosed off and disappeared though.

🥄Mah spoon is too big!🍌
Are we talking uncomfortable-hitting-upon and crippling social awkwardness?

Initial message sent to a girl on OkCupid, with no prior contact or profile-viewing. It's a wall of text, but read it all for the full :stare:.

quote:

My Modest But A Tad Blunt Proposal IV (one (in)decent proposal deserves another!)
To meet up with you in person because I consider you to be interesting/attractive based on your profile. For the folks whom have received the first proposal please see the updates/musings at the tail end of this message.

*Skip to end for a Special Treat*

Disclosures:
1. This message has been used and reused on a number of interesting/attractive females
2. I am interested in meeting a significant other as well as meeting people in general.
3. Here are my well-maintained social media profiles to "prove" that I do exist outside of the digital world. Social media profiles: *redacted* | *redacted*
4. Potential red-flag: Haven't had a girlfriend in 6 years
5. Just getting back into the online dating scene.

Raison d'κtre for this proposal:
I am still relatively new to this online dating scene, but I have heard many fail stories (and a few success stories) when it comes to free online dating sites. As I have mentioned above, based on my very limited knowledge of your world views and your chosen online appearance, I have made the assessment to deem you of sufficient compelling interest for me to impart further effort to "get to know you better." To my understanding, there is a lot of wasted time involved with the online messaging that in all likelihood will end up nowhere for the both of us should you choose to respond. This mutual annihilation of time (money) should not be taken so lightly and, hence, I have crafted My Modest Proposal to get the ball rolling. After all, the ends to this whole online dating website is not to develop only an online (albeit possibly passionate :P) relationship. Hopefully, if you have read this far into my message, then I am most certainly preaching to the choir.

Instructions:
1. Skim my OKCupid profile to see if I am remotely interesting and check out my facebook/linkedin profile to get an idea of what I am about.
2. Reply to this message OR, ideally, text/call my google number *redacted*.
3. Schedule a meeting time/place of your choice (police station, health clinic, coffee shop, bar, etc.) TIP OF THE DAY: Choose a public place with plenty of pedestrian traffic!

Q&A:
1. What if you are a creep?
I am not. I can offer you at least 5 references upon your request within 48 hours excluding holidays and weekends.
2. Why haven't you had a gf in 6 years?
Long story, but basically I haven't met the right person. Duh!
3. Don't you realize that most girls are into the more subtle approaches?
Yes, but I am not really looking for a plurality of matches. One is enough.
4. What if we meet up and we have a horrible time together?
I will be truly sorry. I guess it is a risk that comes with this type of social experiment.
5. Are you socially retarded?
No. OK, sometimes, but it's by choice and in full recognition of the social backlash and ramifications.
6. Are you a player?
Hardly.
7. How long have you been on OKCupid?
Just filled out my profile on 9/9/2012. Proposal II was written on 11/27/2012. Proposal III was written on 2/4/2013 and was also distributed manually :/ shortly thereafter. Proposal IV was written on 6/7/2013
8. Your questions here!

Updates since Proposal I:
1. I made a move out to Carson City, NV to pursue my dreams of making a difference at a green energy startup on Oct 16th, 2012.
2. In order to stay Californian, I make frequent trips back to either LA/OC/SD or the Bay Area. By frequent, I mean every other weekend for LA/OC/SD and the weekends between those to the Bay Area.
3. I've gone on quite a few dates armed with the aforementioned Proposal I and have certainly made some new friends with the logic being that it takes another quirky individual to answer my call.
4. I still firmly believe that it is a numbers game. I must have sent over 1000 messages and had a reply rate of less than 5%. I have met up with 9 people thus far and am in the process of scheduling to meet others.
5. If you feel like you missed out the first/second time around don't hesitate to give me a holla! ;)
6. I found an awesome girl with this method, but things didn't work out, so I'm back again.

Well the ones you posted are either novelty or serious grandpa glasses, which are way worse than thick-rimmed hipster glasses. Hipster glasses actually look good on some people (they help balance a long, thin face), but I'm pretty sure grandpa glasses and novelty ones have never looked good on anyone in history.

This is baffling. Is the link and weirdly gay description of his more attractive friend (yes ladies, he really is 6'3", hard to believe a man could be moderately tall but true!)some kind of weird ploy, where he's actually that guy, and he writes up a whole profile for a fat guy and then links to himself to make himself look better by comparison?

I mean too much effort even for this guy but otherwise it's just... odd.

Firefly fans make it really hard to like Firefly :smith:

I've met a few of the actors at cons, and the thing that struck me was how no one in the signing line seemed to care that they had ever done anything besides Firefly. Alan Tudyk is an amazing actor who has been in a ton of stuff, and a genuinely very nice person who is great to talk to, and it was all people in Hawaiian shirts asking him to write "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" on stuff. Nathan Fillion had just done Dr. Horrible at the time, so his was a combination of Firefly fansquealing and people saying things about the hammer being his penis. :rolleyes:
I agree, Tudyk is a really good actor with a great range. I loved Tucker and Dale vs Evil, it was an awesome inversion of the redneck horror movie.
