When I was younger I really didn't get societal norms super well, a girl asked me to rate her and I thought she was not ugly, not gorgeous, I gave her a 7 out of 10. She was offended lol. Didn't even realize she was flirting with me until years later lmao

It's basically just asking if you think they're cute lol

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah but there's 101 ways to do that, are they expecting a 10 lol

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Well yeah they're obviously hoping you'd call them cute lol

you call a girl a 10 if they ask. that's just how you play that situation there's no reason to think about it.

im not sure how old u r but when u start talking to girls (or dudes? idk if this works gayly) let them fish for compliments. its not a bad thing to play the game they want to play sometimes.

adults don't do anything specifically everyone is different and there's no reason to generalize some arbitrary normality that your parents taught you in a vacuum

most sane people dont fish for compliments that blatantly sometimes you just gotta be nice. unless you disagree then you just sound boring to be around.
