Warn: Banned

Apparently, she tried cheering up a guy who was feeling pretty bad about his looks. She was telling him how he was "a nice guy", was smart, and had a good personality, and that he should just be more confident. Within the next few months, he was more confident, talked more, and I even saw him at the gym sometimes. He was a pretty cool and nice guy, IMO. She told me that he asked her out. f6rp

"EwwwwWWwwwWWww. I didn't mean for him to ask ME, lol..." (Yes, very long "ewww...")

(OMG, HOW DARE HE...)

So let me get this straight, a guy is supposed to be more confident and try to be

Hmmm.....this is a hot issue, I can see. I sense her hypocrisy and false pretense. But I think she meant that just because a girl is nice to a guy, doesn't mean the guy has to get any ideas. Like.....If I was a girl and I was nice to a guy out of sympathy, I don't want him to hit on me. I'm nice to him not because I want him to be my bf, but because I'm a nice person. I wouldn't mind if he was normal friends with me. Correct me if I'm wrong girls, but I think that's what you girls are thinking when you do this kind of thing. 🤣

You're not wrong, but even if that's what she meant, it sounds like she could have handled it better/ been more considerate about it, even when talking to someone else. I'd have to really, really hate the person or have some deeply serious issue with them to say "ewwwwwwwww!!" in response to their supposedly genuine feelings. (serious issues like they're asking me out and they're married or in a serious relationship/ or they're way older and I'm underage/ they're going out with an extremely close friend of mine, etc. etc.)
That's just what I think.

Okay, this is kind of a long story...

My teacher printed a scoring sheet for his class but his printer wasn't working so he sent them to the office (they're allowed to do that) and asked me if I could go get them. I go there and the lady working there looks at me and says she did not receive anything. I knew that was a lie because she did not even glance at the printer that was RIGHT NEXT TO HER. But being the polite student I am I returned to my teacher and told him that the lady said she did not get them. He printed i once more and once again I was sent to that b**** to retrieve the copies... She looked at me like 'oh god, her again?' and I told her. "My teacher sent me to retrieve some copies for him. He said he sent them HERE. I'm only here to pick them up, I don't know anything else." Then suddenly she went on a long rant about how she just wanted to go to lunch and how my teacher didn't know what he was talking about. She then put her hand on the printer that was RIGHT NEXT TO HER and was piratically yelling at me going, "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOUR TEACHER IS, OH, HERE IS THIS YOURS?" What do you know? It was. Suddenly she started saying, "don't worry, don't worry, this isn't your fault. It's not your fault. You didn't know." I gave her a 'you're f***ing crazy, I know it's not my fault, it's yours' look and walked away. As I was returning to my class I checked how many sheets were printed, sure enough there were double copies. If she had just turned her neck slightly towards the right she would have seen the papers, clear as day, lying in the printer, but no. She decided to be an ass to me and made herself look like a complete fool in the end.

PHEW. 😀

Is this a serious question? Does the OP live in America? I'm guessing not...
Why hypothetically, though? All the people I know are frustrating, annoying assholes that I'd love to slap the shit out of. Alas, I'd go to jail. Probably for attempted murder because the laws in this damn country are so strict you can't even discipline a child anymore without social services getting involved and taking your children away. Then you go to jail anyways because your kid skips school all the time, but if you discipline them (even verbally) you're a terrible, disgusting person who abuses children. I digress. Go to America, become friends with somebody, then watch as you get stabbed in the back over something trivial. I can make examples of those types of people I've met until I fill an entire page or more, but that seems unnecessary.
Protip: Don't immigrate to the US. Land of the free my ass. More like land of the two-faced (and sometimes three-faced lol), double standard populace and corrupt government. 😔
And yes, I am American, born and raised.

People who are annoying to me:

Well, that's easy.

Girls who cry about ugly guys. If you don't like them, then just reject them seriously. No need to bitch about their efforts.

well if they are just ugly, i don´t hate them. a know some people which looks are below average, but the have a great personality. But if they are sexuell harassing someone like ass-groping and calling girls with stupid nicknames like honey, darling and such (i tried to put it in english , but the words he uses are much to intimate). and the thing that it would be better if at least handsome people would be perverts isn´t because of the eye-candy, but you know why they have a reason the be overconfident

Oh, the irony of this thread after taking the OP into consideration is just....LMAO

Sure I've met detestable people in my life - too many, in fact.
Getting along with them? No can do.
I don't get along with tools.

Scy, you're awesome. Don't ever change.

As to the actual topic... it's such a fine line. There's, in truth, very little difference between a person just being serious about something and being so frustratingly and irritatingly serious that I have to resist the urge to drop them into a cement mixer while cackling manically. It's easy to go too far with anything, and that's usually the problem. People who just don't "get" certain things can be particularly irritating, to be sure, but that's just a part of life. The sheer mundane nature of this question means that virtually everyone has to answer yes, or they just aren't being honest.

People are often a$$holes, as the OP put it, because they're tired of dealing with either a$$holes or idiots. It's really amusingly cyclical.

That's just what I think.

Applause for your thoughts. A girl has every right to reject a guy for whatever reasons.

I just think very lowly of a person who proudly displays her insincerity. She talked to someone vulnerable, had him trust and confide in her his insecurities, and gave him advice and words of encouragement as a friend or at least someone trustworthy.

If you think about it, attractiveness is a very sensitive issue for many people, and it probably took him much effort to it to anyone that he had issues.

Her telling me about it and laughing about the ordeal showed to me that not only is she an insincere person (her words of encouragement and/or friendship are worthless), but that she is also a poor judge of character. Did she actually think I would be impressed by that story? That's annoying and insulting.

What goes around comes around. I ended up being insincere to her, because I can only behave superficially to superficial people. Didn't bother to point out her character flaws. Oddly enough, she thought I was a friend because I was in her "social circle" (I belonged to every circle). If I was more sincere towards her, I would have told her outright that I wasn't her friend and why I wasn't.

I found out a couple years ago that, surely enough as I thought might happen, over the years she got dumped by numerous different people. Being a poor judge of character took its toll on her. She may have been ably physically attractive before, but her character flaws weighed down on her and she's now a weathered, single mother train wreck.

Only now do I actually pity her, having taken into consideration the pain she went through.. But all I could say to her honestly was, "Heh, you really know how to pick them."

I see that I've touched a nerve.

I won't judge you, since I don't know you. I don't know who this guy is either. You have perfectly legitimate reasons to find him annoying and/or unattractive.

ittedly, parts of what you and others wrote brought up memories I've had of stupid girls, but that doesn't mean I'll automatically assume you are the same.

One thing I will point out, since I have nothing against you personally and only wish you the best, is this:
It's odd to me that you would think "at least handsome, would-be perverts have a reason to be confident"... but someone who gets good grades (according to yourself) but is physically unattractive has absolutely no reason to feel confident.

Having confidence doesn't require permission. Having confidence and being able to project yourself or at least practice doing so is key to the highest levels of success in this world, and I wouldn't fault ANYONE for trying.


Tangential note for people interested:

Everyone knows that intelligence correlates with success.

Of physical attributes that correlate to both attractiveness and success:

Height for men.
Weight for women.

The above two are the most objective measures of attractiveness. The correlation described in Freakonomics and some other studies was something to the effect of 1000 US dollars per inch more of height for men or per 5 lbs or so less of weight for women. Basically, taller men and skinnier women tend to be more successful.

The correlation was stronger for childhood height/weight (which usually translates to adult height/weight anyway), implying that this had a lot to do with childhood experience and confidence.

For most of the exceptions/outliers to this correlation that I've witnessed in my life are people intelligent enough to be "aware" and break out of their insecurities and confidently project themselves without fear.

I strongly encourage everyone to find more confidence in himself/herself, and not let superficial critics get in the way.
