Kent being off lacking social skills, he doesn't see the moral greys in life when we interact daily. All that his mind can grasp is the basic concepts, lying is bad and I don't want my feelings hurt. There's not much else turning in his head.
Kent is experiencing white lies. He is asking for a situation that just doesn't happen. Where she pretty much says nice to meet you Kent, I'm sorry but I'm not looking to date you. If this happened he'd call it a harsh rejection. If a girl gave him that, I think he feels he could sell himself.
Kent thinks very highly of himself and any woman would be lucky to have him. He's got the nerve to brag about his gifts like he's a cut above because he was born middle class and spoiled. Not everyone esp in his gen has a car or a nice new one (not that the 200 isn't a rolling pile of cat shit). He acts like he's a cut above for having one, and yea a car is a great thing to own, but he has the same gusto as if he worked to get that when we know mommy paid for it.
His pick up line is pretty much, my mommy pays for my car so I'm datable. I'm not shaming him for having things, but it's that cocky mindset that's repulsive to people. Kent has all the snob mindset of a trust fund kid, he's even slipped up how snobby he is mentioning he's just better because he didn't grow up poor. Lots of people are born with nothing, it doesn't make them bad. Kent being black and having that mind set is just horrifying to me. There's a very good chance Great great Grandpa Kent never earned a penny in his life and worked his ass off. Guess that makes him even worse than "poor" people because he was property.
We use the word snobby rather loosely in society today. But looking down on people because how they were born? This isn't 1700s France. That kind of stuff today just makes you look like a what to be upper class fuck wit.
Kent's "relationship" with the cashier, is a bit hard to read because he's a liar and nuts. We aren't sure what side is coming out with him saying they are doing well etc. Is he really that far in la la land to think they are a couple? Or is he know she doesn't want to date him and he's just lying to look important on YT.
Kent also thinks he's got the magic key with making a girl laugh. I agree with him, people love to laugh. If you can cheer someone up or make their day better with some humor go for it! I'm sure Kent has heard if you can make a woman laugh it's good. So he likes to point out she laughs, when it's clear she's laughing at him, (and not because he's cutting on himself for lulz) or just so baffled by his behavior.
I think one part that's kinda funny while Kent's height (or lack of) is some points off for many girls it's the fact you get such a quick trifecta out of Kent. His mannerisms are bizarre and immature, his clothing is too big making him look smaller and the theme is immature. So really with in 1 minute of him talking to you, he looks, acts and is the size of a child. How can you take him seriously? If Kent had some confidence, he'd make his height into a joke. We can't control it, I'd like to be taller I got no shame admitting it. But fuck just laugh about it.
I know "confidence" doesn't matter to him but you need it to be funny. You have to risk jokes bombing etc. Kent thinks he's perfect should wouldn't joke about himself and isn't brave enough to work on some quick bantz about himself being short because not all of them may be super funny. I dated a girl 3" or so taller than I. Never bugged me. But she always still giggled when I pulled the "don't make me come up there" out. It wasn't because it's funny, it's the same stupid joke, it's because she just felt so good that I accepted her being taller and am not ashamed of whom I am.
I think a lot of Kent's bravado (dare we call it that) is him being ashamed of himself, he may or may not be aware but it's clear he's ashamed of himself and frankly can you blame him? He's hiding his shame but deep down I think a lot of Kent is still the screaming Autist we all loved and started following way back. He's painted himself into a corner with life and it's gonna really start to eat him as more time passes.
