    On the flipside it was very difficult as a nerdy nice guy to get some women to understand that when I said lets do x I really meant as friends because not everyone is actually sexually interested in you. Sometimes I just wanted to see a movie with someone I thought was a friend

      Yeah! It’s an intersectional, social issue. I’ve had just a couple woman adamantly insist to me that men could not be friends with women, in a completely platonic way.

      I think they are wrong, in an absolute sense, but in popular Western society, they are right 8 times out of 10.

      But… You’re a nerd and I’m like… Kinda pretty? Shouldn’t you want to fuck my brains out and this is a trap?

      Goddamnit Laura I get that you’re a 6.5/10 and yes I think you’re pretty but also we both like the same obscure RPG and I just want someone to understand some of my fucking jokes holy shiiiiiiit

        More like" I get that most guys are asking you to the movies because they want to make out but I want to see and talk about this movie with you because Im interested in what you think and Im not interested in dating you". Sometimes the juice isn’t worth the squeeze, you know?
