    It wasn’t totally catastrophic, but it still sucked because I liked this girl. She was complaining about someone she knew acting all bitchy and envious towards her, talking about going to the gym or something, so I wanted to set myself to compliment her and asked “well do you go to the gym?” and instead of her just saying “no” so that I could reply “because you don’t have you, you’re already incredibly attractive she’s just envious of that” she says instead “no wonder you’re still single Asafum, you’re an asshole.”

    …ughh

      I mean, implying that a woman would only go to the gym to make herself attractive is kind of an asshole thing to do, I don’t think dropping your line would’ve changed her mind

        I know it’s not the only reason. The conversation was like 15 years ago so I don’t remember the specifics, but the context was essentially about looks and going to the gym. I just wanted to say she already “won the competition” without having to do anything extra because she’s already beautiful.

        I think she took it as me suggesting that she should or that she needs to to improve herself
