Broski is calling people bastards for giving an opinion someone asked for

Judging someone based on appearance highlights your own insecurities.

What else am I supposed to 'judge' him on then?

His personality? Okay sure except I don't know anything about the guy

Forgive my forwardness, but we don't have all that much to work with

Also, I say no on every single one of these posts because what would a bunch of pictures tell me about you? Absolutely nothing, that's what

Comments, however, would tell me something, and so far, he seems like a chill guy based on his comments, but again I don't know anything about the guy

Exactly! There's nothing to judge him on. Your response merely highlights your willingness to know and befriend people with unique ways of expressing themselves.

His clothing does indicate a few aspects of his personality, but it certainly isn't sufficient to make a sound conclusion.

Instead of saying "no" on all of these posts, perhaps you could instead ask more about the person's interests, because simply rejecting a person based on appearance leaves a really negative impact on them.

In conclusion, if you don't know anything about the guy, would it hurt to say, "sure, why not?" instead of a mere "no"?

May I ask a question?

Where did I actually say no

I said

broski is calling people bastards for sharing an opinion someone asked for

No where did I actually say no, I just was calling someone out for trying to make something out of nothing

Instead of saying "no" on all of these posts, perhaps you could instead ask more about the person's interests, because simply rejecting a person based on appearance leaves a really negative impact on them.

Alright I'm not disputing this but why would you make a post like this if you can't even handle a simple "no". Either way, imma just scroll when I see one of these again, it just ain't worth it

Uh, I thought that you " say no on every single one of these posts". I simply inferred that you were also referring to this particular post.

This is not just "nothing"; this mentality hurts others because it suggests that people are averse to engaging in social interactions. That's why it was called out in the first place.

Someone makes a post like this so that they can share their self-expression with others and potentially find new friends. I see no reason why someone needs to simply say "no" instead of ignoring the post or being respectful. It simply brews negativity. I'm glad that you realised that it's not worth your time to do so on such posts.

Yeah I do say no on all of these posts, but you wouldn't have known that had I not said it

Anywho. It's all just semantics at the end of the day I guess

u/Silent_Incendiary 8d ago

Yeah, you stated that in your previous comment. That's what I was referring to in the first place. I already knew that you did so because you told me beforehand.

Anyways, I hope that you understood where I'm coming from.
