Jokes on you, me and my friends just straight up flirt as compliments like "HOLY SHIT! Who is this hot dude?"

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 62 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Was just going to say that this really depends on you and your friends. Got one friend group that is all about cuddling drunk, giving shoulder massages and complimenting each other. Got another that is more about board games and being sure feet don't touch accidentally under the table. All friends are valid <3

I had one friend kinda like that. I felt really weirded out by it at first.

Haven't interacted with him in years (he was married to another close friend of mine, they got divorced and I haven't heard a peep from either of them in years sadge), but now the few friends I have that knew him as well still kinda make comments like him in his memory.

I love the ambiguity. Is "a friend like that" a person that cuddles or a person that has an irrational fear of touching feet?

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

One that would make jokes about how hot or handsome we were. Just had a sense of humor that seemed similar to the description.

straight up gay flirt

Hmm, I gotta get my work friends adjusted to this/conditioned to do this, it's way too boring in the office.

How does one go about doing something like this?

I'll try with a nice complement, perhaps a soft whisper at the urinals.

[–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

As long as they are close enought to know that you are not really trying to date them you are good to go

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, I don't like people, I just want office shenanigans.

[–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago

Then just go ahead and hope for the best

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 51 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What, you women have never met a straight man before!? We honk each others' dongs all the time! It's called being interested in your friends!!!

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 31 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nothing wrong with a brojob between buddies.

Idk, in my friend group it's 50-50 for... "Hey, you look less like shit today, did you get a nose job?"

Or

"Good lord, stay away from me with that new haircut. I'm already nursing a semi!"

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Now I'm just imaging a breast feeding semi-truck

[–] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

I feel like there is a moob joke there somewhere, but can't find it.

Somebody can do better than that, lol

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 28 points 5 months ago (1 children)

psh i'll compliment a guy and leave it totally ambiguous.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago (5 children)

I'll compliment a man and French kiss him. Totally ambiguous.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago

it's the frenchness. it's ambiguous because it's french :3

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

As long as you're in France this is not gay also if you're French it's ok, also if you have ever ate French fries it's not Gay,.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

I'll lovingly kiss a man, and then literally crucify him. Totally ambiguous!

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Here's an interesting one: kissing a gay guy on the cheek, or letting him kiss you on the cheek is neutral, as long as the guy is out of the closet. Hugging and/or kissing a straight guy is gay.

-- from "Gay/Not Gay" by King Missile

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Omg, a King Missile reference in the wild, how wild!!

And yes, discussing straight sex with the same sex person is gay, I've alloys felt that (still nothing wrong with that ... well, apart from when the ultra-tryhardwannabe-alpha males do it, ugh, just kiss already and the the charade).

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

... or just leave it totally IamBiGayus - to be safe from the potential (mis)assumption that you are French.

[–] Sceptique@leminal.space 15 points 5 months ago

I'm so glad I have actually good friends we can compliment and joke around without feeling uncomfortable ahah.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I started wearing women's glasses and I cannot go outside without people complementing them. I go out with my gorgeous sexy partner, and people still complement my freaking glasses. They're translucent pink cat eye frames.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Probably because they draw attention from the rest of your face, jerk!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Hey, sexy glasses, Jerkface!

[–] sxan@midwest.social 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You can't do much about your friend's haircut, but she's got a couple of ways of getting into that underwear.

Just sayin'.

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Don't let your dreams be dreams.

He can get into her underwear now too. It's 2025 bruh.

[–] pomfegranate@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago

I just offer my friends head. Not gay but their haircut looks good yknow

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I feel like this person doesn't know any women or men.
