Look, I'm an autistic fuck who can barely speak to people, but even I've never considered coughing up blood as a conversation starter.

I was out with my friends once in my early twenties, drunk at the limit between "flying high on wings of booze" and "incoherent mass of sick and confusion."

There was this girl who kept catching my eye every time I saw her out and about, and this time she happened to be at the same dive as us. I finally decided to try talking to her, so I kinda' awkwardly accosted her at the bar and I think I started pulling my "over-the-top intellectual" bit for a laugh.

Somehow, it worked! We kept chatting (she was buzzed but significantly more sober than I was), we kept laughing, then she asked me to accompany her on an ATM trip after a while. Now, I'd completely lost my capacity for reading between the lines at this point, so I just took it as a generic action. About midway through the trip, she started pulling in very close to me, my current guess being that she had intended to try smooching. My drunk brain thought "oh, she must be feeling the drag, we need to keep her blood pumping." So I called a race, last one to the ATM is a rotten egg.

Again, surprisingly, she was into it! I could hear her giggling as I was pulling away. I was running like a madman, I could feel my legs moving by themselves. I was a beast, a high-performance machine, a force of nature! Almost started congratulating myself for being such an irresistible hunk, when suddenly I could feel the curb grabbing my left foot. I plunged forward, but luckily my stage fighting reflexes kicked in and I completely unexpectedly started doing landing rolls. I literally rolled the rest of the way to the ATM - about 4-5 meters, not kidding, I'd picked up some serious speed while galloping like a horse on coke. She won and was laughing her ass off, the alcohol inside me had been angered and my brain was oatmeal.

I don't remember many details after that. What I will say, though, is that it worked! Also, that I never again tried wooing or racing anyone while drunk.

Ah, I remember being this age. Thanks for the story, it took me to a really special place.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well how'd it work out after that

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Woke up at hers with a splitting headache and profound nausea (nothing happened, because obviously nothing would happen, I was as close to Wasted as possible), after that things didn't really go anywhere. Nothing dramatic, she was lovely, we just didn't match.

Unexpectedly sweet? I kept waiting for it to turn bad and it never did. Cute!

You're already messaging them. Why must you need to message them on Snapchat?

[–] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 0 points 6 days ago

Send them through the imessage then. At least it's kind of e2ee if both sides set them up correctly

Putting on big muscles is for the boys, real girls don't actually like it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 37 points 1 week ago

Plus of course if you don't put on stupid amounts of muscle you retain the ability to scratch your own nose. Seriously some of the guys at the gym, watching them try their names is a site to behold. The ideal body shape is not the Hulk

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't know what real means anymore

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In this case real means not emotionally stunted.

Same with beards. You'll get a lot of attention with a nice beard, but not many girls perse

When I was like 10 I remember reading advice in a body building magazine that has stuck with me ever since:

"Don't try to pick up girls, literally or figuratively, at the gym. Women don't feel sexy when they're sweating unless they're already naked."

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 days ago

And every time I mention the fact that there are no places anymore acceptable to ask a woman out besides the bar (not much of a drinker, also not abstinent) or online (I don't even social media):

Some dickhead: Just get a hobby bro, go to the gym!

no.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 week ago

ask them to undress before starting the workout.

got it.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 60 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I never tried to impress women at the gym when I was single. I go to the gym to focus on self improvement. I do not like talking to other people when I’m there. I do not like looking at other people when I’m there. I also know that women at the gym mostly loathe men trying to pick them up there. So basically if you’re at the gym you’re a dude to me. And if you’re a dude don’t talk to me.

[–] sit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Confirmation that the term dude means men as well as women

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ve always used dude as a gender neutral term. I call my wife dude.

Gets noticed in the gym and complaining still sheeeshhh

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (11 children)

In high school I had a crush on this girl who had something on her Facebook about really liking gummy worms. I read that, thought "this is my in" so I bought a bag of gummy worms. Honestly, not a bad plan. Next time I saw her, I pulled out my bag of gummy worms and ate a couple.

Did I offer her a gummy worm? No. I was under the impression that she'd see me eating them and say "hey, you like gummy worms too?" And then we'd start chatting and [something] and then we'd start going out.

[–] spireghost@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

Well, clearly it wouldn't work. You should instead act like you hate gummy worms and give them to her to get rid of them.

The correct assumption when you see frank red blood on exertion is either lung injury/infection/cancer or terminal alcoholism. It's usually the later.

Wow, it took until their second sentence before they demonstrated how completely unhinged they are.
