Plagued Nice Guys

Oh God, RPing in texts (for example, “*stares in confusion*”) always makes things 5o times cringier. I don’t know how to explain it but it makes my skin crawl.
Slight power level, here. Roleplaying CAN be good in long-distance relationships. It’s always cringey as hell, but when you aren’t able to physically be with your SO all the time, it can help.

Having said that, these people never seem to be able to do it without looking like assclowns. Even with the scenario I just said, that type of role play is completely unacceptable. First of all, you NEVER use it when you’re trying to pick a girl up. That’s just weird, and I don’t know a single girl who gets turned on by it, even if they DO do the role play shit.

You know the funny thing? Back when I was in high school and everyone was sending telegraphs to each other (cell phones weren't big yet), the few people I saw doing it were girls, and I always thought it was super annoying then. And they just did it in normal conversation, not necessarily flirting. Now it's the fedora'd doing it.

Strange world.

To get the girl they became the girl, but 1,000 times more awkward and creepy.

I bet that's seriously it. Get the girl by becoming one of her girlfriends. We've joked for years about Chris doing it with the tomgirl thing but these guys aren't any less autistic.
It falls along the same line of thinking as "I'll act gay but conflicted and maybe she'll want to 'straighten' me out...with her vagina".
 
From what I've seen, no. But Lord know there are those that have tried and probably still trying.
I’ve actually never seen it in real life before.

The only time I remember seeing it ANYWHERE offhand is when Bud Bundy did it in an episode of Married With Children. In the episode it actually managed to work.

Didn’t think anyone, even “nice guys” would be pathetic or delusional enough to try it.

I got you fam. Time to :powerlevel: my way back to 1998.

I knew this dude waaaay back when who we all were 99% sure was as gay as gay could be. He was one of the theater kids so it was pretty much par for the course but we never saw him with another guy, he was always with girls, and when a dude did proposition him he'd turn them down with any number of excuses while being "nice" about it. Lots of "oops I didn't mean to do that!" when it came to boobs and butts in the costume dept. It wasn't until he got rolled hard by a rightfully pissed off boyfriend that we found out he was a bit of a serial fondler and was totally straight.

Ah the good old days before social media was in everyone's lives and we could actually hide shit about ourselves :story:

Ever since the birth of the owo meme people knew rping was wierd. Part of romance is being vulnerable to eachother, and when you rp you're being someone or something else. IDK it could work in certain ways.

I’m curious if that’s EVER worked outside of TV.

That's why I would never let any kids I have watch TV.

Can tell you exactly why. Because a person using "RP talk" when trying to pick up a chick tells you a LOT about them

For 1: It tells you they spend a LOT of time roleplaying online. They are more comfortable pretending to be someone else. In fact, they do it so much that they can't help but use it in everyday texting to other people, and not realize it's fucking weird.

2. It tells you they have gained their confidence unnaturally. Why? Well what does most online RP break down to? If you said Sex, then you are correct. So, it is quite possible for a lonely NEET to be quite the Chad in the cyberworld, having lots of "sex" with lots of women (although some of them are, guaranteed, men posing as female characters). So they are given an inflated ego from that, which is COMPLETELY the wrong perception.

3. The Rp world is perfect for the socially awkward. It allows you to think about your words and actions with plenty of time to tailor them to be exactly the right thing to do or say, as though it were scripted. And that's why these Nice Guys love it. They never slip up or say the wrong thing, because they have time to think and make sure what they're saying is the right thing. But these girls they're messaging aren't roleplaying. They're just talking, and the Nice NEET's brain cannot compute that.
