I went to a boudoir photography exhibit this weekend as part of my resolution to do more fun events by myself and this walking parade of red flags cold approached me. I know many queens would have just walked away, but I felt safe as he was rather scrawny and harmless looking and it was a public place so I found it entertaining to talk to him until I finished my drink, at which point I left the event. What was shocking was how many red flags I was able to collect in this one individual. First of all, any man who is attending a boudoir photography exhibit event is already rather sus so I certainly was not on the prowl for a HVM. This scrote walked over to me and started a conversation. For your entertainment, the red flags are as follows:
He was rather haughty about the fact that he "doesn't watch tv" he just watches "films" but later he admitted that he actually enjoys anime but he doesn't usually admit it to people
He somehow started talking about how he enjoys philosophy. I didn't know that could be a red flag but as he began to talk I was reminded of how easy it is for straight white men to engage in these thought exercises such as the train problem or the cave problem and have no difficulty whatsoever turning off their empathy. I hated philosophy 101 for that reason, it was painful thinking about sacrificing the one for the many. That's why for many men they can have conversations about "feminism" or "racism" and for them it is just a fun philosophical exercise that doesn't pain them whatsoever.
He believes in moral relativism, which is the idea that there is no absolute morality. I asked him if he thought what Hitler did was wrong, and he said well, to many people what he did was right. Of course, this man was white with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Several times he called me "intimidating"
A woman came over to us and asked me to watch her drink while she went to the bathroom and he complimented her extremely low-cut dress and said she looked stunning.
I asked him if he had any hobbies or anything he was passionate about and he did the busy brag and said he is far too busy at work for hobbies. Yet he has time to attend boudoir photography events and troll for women...
So yep! Scrotes stay audacious. If I didn't feel safe I absolutely would have walked away but talking to this man kind of felt like watching a train wreck, I just wanted to see how far the scrotery would go and the answer is definitely too far...
Moral relativism = “I will abuse you and gaslight you to believe you deserved it and it was the right thing to do.”
I smell PUA...
Number 5 sounds like a triangulation attempt. In complimenting the other woman like that (whilst in the middle of attempting to flirt with you), it seems like he was hoping you'd be triggered into fighting for his attention harder from this other girl.
Number 4 negging haha "you're intimidating" is the battlesqueak of the weak in the hope you'll backfoot and feel embarrassed.
Great points of 2 and 3, I've definitely experienced this sort of blasé and un-empathetic/"""stoic""" reaction to philosophical thought experiments that have real consequences on people's lives. It's a mistake in thinking you can teach empathetic perspective to these types who seemingly only take these positions in bad faith to run you mentally ragged whilst they trump you with their "superior debate". I refuse to engage, it's an utter waste of time.
They also make terrible lovers 😉
Wow, this guy sounds absolutely LV. When you first mentioned how he said he only watches films, my mind immediately went to "adult films" considering men like this love saying ambiguous BS to intrigue women when in reality they're just misogynistic porn-sick scrotes who are taking toxic advice from other males who tell them lying to women to seem "cool" is the right way to go around things.
ugh what a creep! Guys who say they are into philosophy always remind me of that one interview where Woody Allen asks Twiggy who her fav philosopher. She turns the question on him and he couldn't even name one 🤡
The busy brag is funny, why do they think that’s appealing to women who they hope will date them?
Wow he reeks of desperation!
Well done sis
Sometimes these boring scrots with their dating methods just makes you look at them and be like ok I'm leaving
I do believe in moral relativism. However, when men hear MY takes on moral relativism (because they tend to involve MY OWN takes on matriarchy, non-western societies, or non-Christian societies), they suddenly come back to the “but that’s not how it is!!”
Is this kinda like scambaiting where youre hoping he wont have time to capture someone else lmao
