I'd imagine this would have the same success rate as going to a bar and acting like you don't know how to play pool.

Rinse/repeat with football, car maintenance, video games, etc. and she'll never have a problem again.

Oh, you don't know how to play pool? Let me show you. This is called a pool club and these are the bowls. Your objective is to score a goal by hitting the bowl I pitch into one of the holes, shouting 'HOWZAT!'...

Let's see how desperate she is.

Best way to get the loudest person in the room, that you actually don't want to get.

What is the equivalent for men? Asking for a friend

I tried Victoria's Secret, but they told me to never come back

You were supposed to take a picture of yourself, not sniff all the underwear "for quality purposes". 🧐

dying alone, hoping there's some kind of afterlife, and looking lost and confused when you get there

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Hey baby, are you an angel?

Because you’d have to be to put up with my BS.

The craft store?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

vegan spots. pilates spots. book store. antique shop. candles shop. imvu.com

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Probably something like a Bath and Body Works?

The unfortunate reality is that playing dumb is a strategy that works for a surprising number of situations, because it makes you look less threatening and more approachable. Plus, I think there is this primal need for men, especially smart men, to teach others about things they know, it gets annoying sometimes, but I like to indulge in it because it makes them happy.

Now, won't some big, strong men who are really, really good at tech show little ol' me how to use this Lemonworld website? 🥺

Anyone smart enough to fall for your play is also already smart enough to know that THE Margot Robbie knows what they're doing here better than they do.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sigh.

One of the unfortunate consequences after I started moderating [email protected] is that I can't really do the "tech illiterate celebrity" bit here anymore.

It was really funny too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I still can't figure out if you're actual Margot Robbie or some basement dweller pretending lol.

Or even a dog or something.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A good actor should be able to convincingly become anyone, right?

Even a dog.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I'm convinced.

Hi, can I help you find something?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I'm looking to buy a copy of "Barbie" on Blu-Ray, would you mind showing me where I can find it for sale?

And also, to make sure it's actually on sale, can you buy a copy, watch it, and leave a good review of it, since I've heard from somebody that it's a really good movie?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

you're more likely to get the May i help you riff.

I was playing Taurus by Spirit, I swear!

Lady look tall, brain no work anymore.

Where the fuck are all you talking girl enjoyers? And why do I never run into any?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I'm sorry, we don't last long in the wild before getting snatched up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Lol, I wouldn't just randomly approach a confused looking woman at a store. I'd probably point a sales person in her direction more than anything.

"Sweet Child o' Mine" plays gently in the background

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The first ten seconds of "Stairway to Heaven" played by some random person who picked up a guitar plays gently in the background

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

NO STAIRWAY

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Yes, but where will she find someone who can take care of themselves?
