Okay, I'm not crazy, am I? (Attempting to decipher female-speak.)

@sashimi_biscut: Oh, woops. Except the title. Was attempting to be witty, that's all.

Most of the time women do not throw around the term bigot for no reason. If you want to know what she meant i hope you do go over the things you said to her and take into consideration what I said. I of course realize there was not a lot of context given and i could be completely wrong.

@WalkerD: You're kind of being a dick.

@sashimi_biscut: I don't mean to sound rude and I certainly don't mean this as any sort of insult. But do you have some form of autism? This over-thinking of phrases used in basic social situations is on the level of someone with SEVERE autism. You might want to get yourself checked out.

I really do not appreciate the SEVER ableism.

Point being that if it hasn't already been diagnosed it may be causing you problems, I wanted to stress this. Autism is a very mainstream issue these days, and it's not too hard to get help.

Now call me ugly and my pussy is YOURS!!!!!

But seriously autism is not funny and a lot of people struggle with it.

@Napalm: I don't like when people insult others in such a flamboyant fashion. So yes, my levels of passive-aggression are off the fucking charts right now.

While I agree that the ending was rather... abrupt, you need to try to engage her more. If a lady wants to chat you up, the Ace Ventura line doesn't play well in text. Try something longer and more detailed.

@sashimi_biscut: Up until this point I had assumed you were a man and was trying to get into your pants. Are you telling me I've wasted all this time on a pussy? Those things are fucking gross.

Hey, guys. Knock it off. This is the first and final warning for this thread.

I have an idea and it might require some time. However I have a lot of socially awkward guy friends who have a hard time relating to women. I've suggested a book to one of my guy friends in hopes that it would help him understand women, and BONUS it is totally for nerds like us. I hope you are into fantasy, because this book is fantasy as balls ovaries. It is called "The Bone Doll's Twin" and its all fantasy and warrior and killing people, but also about gender stuff. A lot of guys end up legitimately liking it. Basically it is a girl who was magiced up to appear as a boy from birth and she thinks she is a boy. SHe grows up in a world where women are all gender stereotyped and one day she will have to become a girl again but she doesn't know it.

Edit: I first found out about it because George RR Martin put it on his suggested reading list.

@Napalm:

I don't know either of you, nor the situation, nor anything, but here's my take:

She obviously took it personal that you called her "strange", that's why she responded with some kind of bitter/cynic mockery. Now there could be various reasons as to why she took that personal. She's either generally thin-skinned or she made bad experiences with people or even just one person, and this bad experience relates to her looking strange infront of others. Or you just hit her weak spot, hard to tell by just guessing it.

However, if you want her to talk to you again I recommend you say something along the lines of: You know, when I called you strange it wasn't supposed to be an offence. I like strange girls/strange girls are nice because they are different from all the others (and stand out more).

Telling a woman in some sort of way you consider her special or just to stand out of the crowd will almost always net you her favour.

Have you tried touching her shoulder?

I feel I should make it clear for some reason that this is the same girl who suggested I should be oralizing her genitalia because I have a beard, and she likes beards. So you know, she's weird, and forward, and weird, and I don't. Like, she's weird, and she's not above petty bullshit.

This is all spiraling out of control very fast.

@sashimi_biscut: I have a better idea. Are you ready? Here it is.

No.

Context.  She just thought your responses were in a different tone then how you mightve said it in your head

Walk away, come back, and move on.

She collects belly button hair lint and forms it into a teddy bear... which she will now call Jason and puncture with needles.

Or better yet, call it Shaun!

SHAAAUUUUUNNNN!!!!! SHAUN!!!

@sashimi_biscut: is ur avatar a butt in a sniper scope? that's pretty funny.

Yes it is a butt in a sniper scope. It is Miranda Lawson's butt.

@Napalm:

You called her strange and she was offended. I don't get what's complicated about that.

@Napalm: What's the nature of your relationship with this girl? Context seems pretty important here as a few people have said. But you seem reluctant to explain further than you already have.

As a sidenote, this topic has gone all kinds of sideways. I just wanted to talk about video games.

I just want people to read this book. It's so cool.

This reminds me of a friend of mine who still tries to find reason in how women act or think.

She seems like a bitch.

@WalkerD: Picking up my old PC from my parents house tomorrow, so I'll finally be able to dig into some old school FPSs, (Blood).

Just let it go dude. It aint worth the effort.

How do you think you would be feeling if you switched the people around? That's all this really requires, not that hard.

Women aren't this secret, strange other species of people you know... I know there's a whole subsection of men out there who think that's the case, but they're just people bro.

@thedj93 said:

I respect females why are they so dumb?

@Napalm: It's always nice to get down with some classics. An old piece of hardware really adds to the enjoyment, it's like reliving a moment from your past. I really need to bust out my old PC.

Living in an Estrogen ocean as I do (no male figures of any kind since my bro died in 04) I've learned a few things that said this one is easy. Lots of women/girls don't like being called strange as that could infer other terms such as weird or loony. In this case you have someone with what is either low self esteem that is very easily offended hence her response or you just caught her on a bad day.

So I was right.

@WalkerD: By suggesting somebody somebody is autistic? Interesting approach, but this thread is kinda all about interesting approaches I guess. Anyways, what games you been playin? Just nabbed Red Orchestra 2 myself, that game is....interesting, I don't know if I like it yet but it was like twelve bucks.

@Sbaitso: I like to think of myself as ~zesty~. I just picked up Beyond Good & Evil HD because it was on sale and I'd never played the original. I think I'm just about to finish it up and it's been a pretty good ride so far, albeit a little short. Definitely worth the five bucks and hard drive space though.

You dun fuct up. She was playing with you and you didn't play back. Thus she got offended because she put herself 'out there' and as a result of your seemingly disinterested tone she felt embarrassed and chose to retreat. In doing so she expressed her disappointment and called you a name.

@thedj93: I've been waiting for a good steam sale to play that game. I'm really interested in it from everything I've heard, and twenty bucks on steam is very tempting. I love noire and americana and crime stories and all that stufff, so I'll probably cave and end up getting it, but I have yet to.Looks like the video game equivalent of L.A Confidential or something.

Dude you're over thinking this way too much, I can't see how you did anything wrong or how she was offended .I know and talked to alot of girls like this and it's just playful banter , she just wanted you to play along and go a bit random for fun that's all it is .You haven't seen or talked to this girl in years and never taught well maybe she changed a bit since then, got in with a different group of friends or whatever.

Also the problem of having conversations in text you have no idea of tone of what she's saying is ,so here's what you do talk to her again and see if she's bitchy or distant and remember this

@thedj93: I always like going through open world games without fast travelling, but I had definitely heard about the shooting sequences, sounds like skipping those could be okay. Do you know what it shows you or what happens if you do chose to skip them?

@sashimi_biscut: You're such a female.

more context... also, if I was her, I would not be ok with you posting a conversation that I had with you on a website. Even if it is vague and you blocked out the last name.

You know how theres British-English, and there's also American-English? Well there is also Girl-English. It sounds very similar but every word has an extra ten definitions, and it's one of those languages where depending on your inflection the same exact word could mean something completely different. In Girl-English some words that would be considered synonyms in other forms of English are not.

This had me laughing.

In all truths, I think what happened was exactly what a couple of people have already said: She was trying to be playful and instead of doing so back, you came across a little prompt. You were out of touch with this female for a good amount of time to lack the wisdom of her personality change. She may have the same shell, but if she is like every other human being, her overall assumptions probably were distorted from the last time you talked to her.

Women go through a lot more than Men want to admit, so there is usually a lot more baggage that comes with the words that we use. "Strange" to her may have brought up an old scar, like an ex, and really set her off. Your intentions could have been gold, trust me I've been in that predicament, but it's all about the wordplay.

If you really like this girl, even in a platonic fashion, simply apologize. Admitting that even though you may not find the same offense to the conversation, you realize she does, and will do something about it. Like I said, you most likely embarrassed her, and much like people who become embarrassed, she tucked tail and put up her defenses.

It just so happens her defenses are ....offensive.

I think she wants your body

I think it was that you called her strange, even if it was light-heartedly and you probably didn't mean it as anything negative. Arguably quite an over-reaction, and I don't think you did anything wrong, but none the less it seemed to really get to her. Not that I'd judge from this alone, but I think there is some chance she's a complete crazy person.

She was trying to flirt with you and you insulted her and came across as blunt. w2g

Well I'd like to see the rest of the conversation for context. But your tone, man, kinda condescending I think. To me, it sounds like she was joking. Perhaps defensive joking, like "Well, this guy I've been talking to just called me strange. Better lighten the mood in case he's going in to spill some mad truth about how socially awkward I am." She's random and you apparently don't like that kinda shit. If you don't like talking to people who talk like that, then don't (I know I stay away from them).

Two side comments:

1) I've had my fair share of guys talk to me like that... so it's not because she's a girl. How simple-minded of you.

2) This makes me so paranoid that people are posting conversations I had with them and making fun of me. Don't make someone else feel like that. If she were to hypothetically get word of this, she would have every right to be mad. This isn't one of those "Look how dumb this person is..." posts, it's a private (or so she thought) conversation.

Final thought: if you call it "female-speak," there's your problem. It's you, duder.

FYI This whole thing isn't to provoke argument. I'm just stating my opinion on very little sleep because I have nothing else to do right now.
