There's a bunch of potential explanations. for example he could remind them of a character from some media they had consumed.

You're just a funny guy 👍

Yea girls love guys that make them laugh

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When I drop my pants, they tend to laugh, put theirs back on, and leave - does that mean they actually like me?

[–] 257m@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Well they liked you enough to drop their pants. So they definitely did just not anymore.

Funny how? Like a clown?

I mean if they’re kids what does it even matter? Kids have the attention span of five seconds. There’s no way any of them even remember that moment.

I'm dating a girl that only wears nike shoes. She has like 30 pairs. Sometimes she sees a shoe and says: aww that one is nice, but it's no nike. She said kids in her school made fun of her shoes, because she was poor, and bow she only wears nike shoes. I just find it odd to let 8 year olds decide how you live your life. She's 35. Kids made fun of me because i wore levis jeans. I didn't even know what that means at the time.

That stuff can traumatize you for a long time. I’m a pretty big, bearded 30 something guy, who was subjected to pretty intense bullying in school as well.

Literally to this day my heart starts racing and I start to panic sweat when I hear giggling teenagers in public.

*sigh* I know exactly what you mean..
Childhood bullying can ruin the rest of your life. For me it resulted in having tons of insecurities. To this day I have a hard time accepting a compliment without thinking it might have an ulterior motive.

I experience paranoia comparable to this. It always comes from a weird angle where I cannot confront whatever is affecting me. Whenever my emotions go into overdrive like this, I cling to my objectives. What am I doing, where am I going, and even why. Then repeat as often as necessary until the moment passes.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 2 points 2 years ago

I’d be lying if I said it had no affect on me. I just choose to ignore and devalue it. I believe there should be a logical reason for whatever nonsense catches my attention. That’s been enough for me.

Something funny going on behind anon seems like a plausible explanation.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah like Pennywise giving the blowjob signal directly behind

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

What a scamp!

[–] don@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Anon, they have dementia. You’re all good.

[–] WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

guys really do think about women laughing at them as much as we think about them trying to murder us

[–] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Perhaps our lives are just not comprehensible to the opposite sex.🤷🏿

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

I'd rather die than be momentarily embarrassed!
