responds to this by making a 4chan thread to ckmplain about her instead of just smiling and asking “what makes you say that? Woukd you have written it differently?” like chad would do. Groupwork gotta groupwork
this is likely something they are ashamed of and they would like to keep it private
they don’t know their “condition” is painfully obvious to most people with minimal interaction required.
owning it is the only way, no need for shame either
but if they knew how to sell themselves better, they wouldn’t be in that situation in the frist place

Because he’s insecure about it? Or do you have a virgin-radar
the radar is easy: insecure timid straight men overwhelmingly don’t get laid.
for some reason presenting confidence is the main enabler. some physical features reduce the pool, but never entirely. think of all the short fat bald men with beautiful partners. they are never ever insecure and shy
“Sell themselves better.”
I dunno if my asexual is showing, but why would someone need to treat their heart like a commodity to find love?
It’s not treating your heart like a commodity, it’s more treating your whole self as something that others won’t automatically see the value in. And you have to do it because they don’t. Every human is unique and of immeasurable value and all that, but also nobody is bothering checking everyone when looking for new people. So you have to put your best and most desirable qualities forward, make people interested enough to see more and so when they start to see your worse qualities they have better qualities to make them feel like you’re still worth their interest.
If I’m out at a bar, dressed in something attractive, putting out some playful charm, engaging in interesting discussions, and generally being fun to be around, people are going to be thinking about me as a hot chick who they might be interested in. Alternatively, if I’m sitting in the corner, too awkward to talk much, overly focused on unpleasant topics, and kinda a slob, the fact that people deserve love isn’t going to make anyone interested in giving it to me.
Self-reflection, empathy, and humility are not based! Clearly the world is better off by being a narcissistic sociopath that doubles down on every action and opinion.
You’re a virgin, aren’t you? 🤪
Fyi, you can write greentext-like text by writing a backslash before the greater-than character:
> This is how it looks like when submitted
\> This is how you write it
\\> This is how the previous line looks like as I’m writing this
\\\\> ditto
… all of this assuming your client renders my comment correctly.
> It works, thanks :)
The only good thing about reddit is that everyone’s client rendered everything the same. Now if I wanna spoiler tag something I gotta go
Like >!this!<
And I’m still not sure everyone’s client handles it right
I’ve used 3 different clients (web IF included), so far the only thing that I’ve found not to be rendered consistently is the ^superscript^ syntax - on the web interface ^I^ ^have^ ^to^ ^wrap^ ^every^ ^word^ ^with^ ^the^ ^superscript^ ^thing^, otherwise Image, but one mobile client I’ve used does/did render it like you’d expect it to.
Gotta tell my coworker today that his code is absolute dogshit and that me and one other guy are going to rewrite the whole thing. He is such a nice person though, I hope I won’t break his heart.
If i was a coder and my code was dogshit i would want to know so i can improve upon it. It’s chill. Frame it as “here’s what I want you to bear in mind when programming something in future”

If he had that kind of charisma and confidence, he wouldn’t be a virgin.
