Right... because all women are shallow doormats with no self-respect. Yes, if he's good-looking it doesn't matter that he just failed at his attempt to make conversation and half insulted her...she would still throw herself at him
I bet it would have been different if he was "hawt". The OP would have asked for his number rather than posted about the poor "creep" on this forum. That is the truth, whether people choose to accept it or not. It's the reality many of us live in.
I'm a 20-something Masters' student in the healthcare field. I'm currently interning at a hospital. Across the street from the hospital is a Subway. I walk in and order a 6-inch Meatball Marinara sub.
There is a man, probably in his 30s, standing behind me in line. Never seen him before in my life. He's not wearing a badge from the hospital I'm interning at, but is dressed professionally in a dress shirt and khakis. He's not bad-looking, not amazing-looking, either.
Well, he says to me: "I don't know if I should tell you this, but.....the Meatball Marinara is one of the unhealthiest things at Subway."
I smile and say as politely as I can: "Really?!? Huh....Well, I'm on a food vacation, if you will."
Then the man goes: "Oh, I probably shouldn't have told you that...."
Then the convo awkwardly ends.
What in the world?!? I know full well that there are 203987283739829832873 calories in a Meatball Marinara. It looked delicious. Was this a horrible attempt to hit on me? Does he just have horrendous social skills? Or is he genuinely concerned for my well-being, since we were across from the hospital, anyway?
I'm curious....
If you are a girl then yeah, he was trying to make convo with you. However, he bombed.
He was probably walking away from Subway grumbling about the incident.
"Stupid! Stupid, Stupid!!! Why didn't you just say 'you're gunna get fat!' My word!!! I hate myself!!!"
I imagine if the guy looked like Channing Tatum the OP wouldve been like "oh myyyy I'll get the veggie burger sub". As they say, its only "awkward behavior" when an ugly guy tries to get some lol.
OP, if someone said a comment like that to me, I wouldn't have thought much more about it after a couple minutes, much less started a thread about it on a discussion board. At the time, I may have said to the man, "Well, to each his own." OR just laughed it off.
I'm in grad school too & I'd think you'd have enough other things on your mind with your studies than to think about this kind of thing.
But since you're obviously very curious as to what to make of his comment, I'd say either trying a feeble attempt to try to talk more with strangers...not necessarily flirt OR just wanted to make feeble small talk because he was bored standing in line. Again, I woulnd't have thought anything of it after a couple of minutes.
Your post doesnt seem to fit in this section, this section is called 'Non romantic relationships'....such as for siblings, or friends, etc. This man was a stranger in a store, youre not in a relationship with him, so......unless a stranger is considered a relationship, I just wanted to say it doesnt seem like the correct section

Sounds to me like an awkward attempt to make conversation.
