  seriously who touches others food to flirt?!

  • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Flirty people in movies.

    Real people in relationships.

    Weirdos who deserve to have their reheated fast food burger smashed.

      It’s one of those things that works in movies because it’s something you can get away with if you’re incredibly attractive. There’s a whole stock images category involving girls licking their fingers, mostly in a seductive style. But, in the real world, it’s something you do with your husband or long-term partner, not a random cow-orker.

      LOL my partner is a germaphobe and would be very upset if I touched his food. I’ll cook it, sure, but I sure as fuck wouldn’t poke his food with my bare hands randomly at dinner.

    It wasn’t flirting, but this ADHD positive girl I was crushing on(and was crushing on me) once absentmindedly stuck the tip of her finger in a full glass of water in front of her to ask whose it was and I had to desperately fight falling in love right then and there.

    Now, that was an accident born of silly brain vs purposefully fucking with someone’s food so I understand the difference, but I really like my story so…

  This sounds like the kind of flirting I’d expect after seeing '80s and '90s teen angst movies. In retrospect screenwriters just don’t understand how humans interact, or rather they just don’t care and go for madcap antics instead.

  I’m way neurodivergent, and was completely unaware of human interaction, so I was looking at Pretty in Pink and St. Elmo’s Fire (etc. etc.) trying to decipher how all that works.

  I became sexually active at 26 after folks from the kink community noticed my nerdy vibe, and they schooled me in some basic human interaction. (Note that I matrix-dodged a barrage of incel-to-fascist pipeline bullets thanks to some amazing strokes of fortune.)

  After the fact, in recollection, I realized then that a lot of women in my young adult life were signalling me and I never knew.

  I also realized my aunt was totally hitting on me when I was sixteen. That’s all sorts of awkward to reconcile.

    That’s exactly my experience, minus the creepy aunt and the kink community. My girlfriend is the exact same and I still don’t know how we managed a first kiss. I wouldn’t miss it for the world now, though.

    Solidarity fist bump. My own experience was somewhat different, but there is the common ground of learning communication skills on a lag, and learning from a niche community of lovely weirdos

    You can discuss the events of a story, and the relative morality and social etiquette of the characters in it, even if the whole thing is entirely fiction. Functionally, it makes no difference if it really happened or it didn’t. Sometimes that matters, but here is doesn’t. You don’t know these people, you’ll never meet these people, and there’s no real-world effect of discussing this story (except maybe someone learns not to touch somebody else’s food?).

    Fuck it, you could be a bot programmed to complain about people taking shitposts seriously. I could be an AI created to respond to your prompts to try to convince you not to complain about fabricated stories. This entire interaction could be four bots engaged in a learning exercise in a simulated online forum. Or maybe it was all a dream the whole time.

      Well, given your username, I’m no longer sure whether I should allow my guts and food to interact.

      I’m also curious whether you made a typo and were too stubborn to correct it, whether it was intentional, or whether I’m imagining the whole thing.

      Honestly, I have so few people in my life that finding out one (or more) were a figment of imagination is a genuine phobia of mine. I’ve freaked out my wife by debating that there’s no way I can be certain she’s real. (Though the evidence does support it.)

  Anyone who sticks their hands in my food uninvited is not someone I would like a relationship with.

  Respect boundaries.

• merc@sh.itjust.works ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  “Touching his food” can run the gamut between:

  Take one of his potato chips and eat it

  to

  Stick my thumb in his soup

  If a friend or family member took one of my potato chips and ate it, I’d probably be fine with it. At worst I’d be a little annoyed. If an acquaintance or cow-orker did that it would be a little more strange, but not the end of the world. But, the other end of the spectrum is much weirder.

  Grabbing a potato chip, if done carefully, will mean not touching anything else. Any dirt or germs on the toucher’s hands aren’t going to get spread around the rest of the food, but touching a liquid or something with sauce on it is different. IMO, touching someone’s pasta is definitely on the germ-spreading end of the scale.

But, in the real world, it’s something you do with your husband or long-term partner, not a random cow-orker.

    I think this is what people aren’t understanding. Someone who does this repeatedly surely must have learned that it’s okay/works from a history of doing it, so they’re probably very attractive. I’m pretty confident that most normies would react much more playfully/positively than the responses in the comments here if an incredibly attractive person did this to them

    source

    • michaelmrose@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Attractiveness is both subjective and situational and people are often terrible at judging their subjective attractiveness to particular others.

      There are also lots of reasons not to want to be persued starting with being in a relationship

      Also peoples attitude towards germs and hygiene varies wildly.

      The greatest sin of this comment is to suppose that because someone does something it makes sense even in their own subjective context. People are both weird and stupid.

      Yeah, I met a girl who was 40 once who stuck her fingers in my soup and that was not hot at all because she didn’t say anything about that being in kelvin which really ruined my too-hot-and-spicy ramen but it ended up working out because I actually wanted just-warm-and-spicy ramen anyway.

  This is not flirting. It is socially maladjusted behaviour. Just because it has worked before doesn’t mean it is a good idea.
