I like it when these little dramas align on the front page:
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.
“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.”
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
Fake: well obviously
Gay: almost certainly written by a guy
Girl tries flirting by biting lip
<thinking for an adequate response…>
I use arch btw
But do you actually use arch?
How are we so sure bro wasn’t just flirting back?
you don’t fuck with moms spaghetti.
flirting? at the workplace? at this time and age?
“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.
I can’t respond to your other comment bc snooggums is banned from my instance
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.
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. If the goal is to swap spit anyway, you’re not gonna be thinking about the germs on their fingers
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.
I disagree, you don’t scratch your own butthole with your tongue unless you’re a cat.
I mean, I eat ass so
Me too, I’m just saying I’d like an upstairs appetizer before heading to the cheese cellar.
Lol
It’s not weird to touch other people’s food everyone does it just for fun. Go to your neighbor’s house and touch their food and you can laugh together.
ngl, I usually touch my own food, not sure how to eat it otherwise
I simply unhinge my jaw and let it slide down my throats.
sure thing lamia
Oooo, classic and obscure.
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.)
seriously who touches others food to flirt?!
Flirty people in movies.
Real people in relationships.
Weirdos who deserve to have their reheated fast food burger smashed.

But those girls are licking their OWN food off their fingers, not pasta sauce from sticking their hand into a co-worker’s spaghetti! Even within an intimate relationship grabbing the other person’s food isn’t appropriate without consent.
👆 This mf has never had siblings
Siblings doing something to your food isn’t a sign it’s appropriate, more the opposite. We’re worst behaved towards each other, although we’d defend them against others.
They’d agreed to share the plate. And they had the grace to blush when they realized it was the same spaghetto
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…
and I had to desperately fight falling in love right then and there
but why fight against it?
She was leaving so that would have been a not great idea. Otherwise yea, full send all the way.
I’m going to start doing this now. Total power move.
Have to lick your finger first, like you’re checking the wind direction.
I could hear this image.

Poll: VPN user voting is not allowed.
Ok bye.
Yeah I thought I disabled that, but apparently not. Silly that that seems to be the default
Enter my answer “I deserve to be able to opt out of taking this poll” for me pls.
I can’t vote either bc I also refuse to turn off my VPN 😅
Is it anti-dystopian if I trust my ISP and government with my data more than I trust random VPN companies?
Slovenian ISPs don’t give a shit about what I do online, even if it’s piracy, so I don’t need a VPN.
I mean I certainly wouldn’t trust any random VPN company, but I trust ProtonVPN
I guess it’s more about the fact that for me VPN itself feels like an unnecessary step that potentially comes with risks (not saying that currently there are any issues with protonVPN, but I’ve used to the fact that all good things enshittify). I’ve never had problems pirating, the only thing government (with very low effort and barely any enforcment) blocks are online gambling sites, which pretty much everyone supports anyway. My previous ISP used to host FTP server for power users that had pirated movies and games, with speeds so fast my HDD was the bottleneck. That was around 12-14 years ago tho, I moved. EU data laws and privacy laws makes me feel somewhat safe. No known mass espionage or anything like that.

ITT: people taking a shitpost from 4chan seriously.
I made this greentext with photoshop in response to this post
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.
Fuck it, you could be a bot programmed to complain about people taking shitposts seriously.
Now thats a good shitpost comment. You get it.
wow! congratulations! you figured out social media is pretty much useless and entertainment is pointless! this guy is smart because he thinks this a worthless endeavour, and i was really starting to base my whole morality system on this shitpost, thanks for steering me in the right direction! :D
Sorry, I’ve forgotten who you are.
Fuck 4chan
Fake: you said yourself that you made it with photoshop in response to the other greentext
Gay: “Femanons?” Female 4chan users? I don’t think they exist.
Anyone who sticks their hands in my food uninvited is not someone I would like a relationship with.
Respect boundaries.
