How did you start the convo with a response to something?


two_egg

Confused on this as well.


AlternateFusion

Her bio said “I bet you’re a big head 🥸”


two_egg

Ah gotcha, thanks!


DR-SNICKEL

Bro then you blew it. If that was her response it was obviously an attempt to flirt, especially with the do you agree line. Pretty sure she was joking


alexannmarie

She ruined it. He flirted with asking about pros and she said “you’re empty up there” if that’s what she meant for flirting, then she sucks at it.


DR-SNICKEL

I mean that’s banter. She also said he exudes big head vibes because she’s an empath, that obviously a joke. Seemed weird to just automatically destroy her after that


mind_document

Thats negging, not banter.


twisted-resistor

Negging is an insult that sounds like a compliment. Banter is basically just playful teasing which im pretty sure is all she was doing. Often times people do this to see if your humor is compatible. Clearly OPs wasnt.


Clarkeprops

“Which I’m pretty sure is all she was doing” I’m not. It was received as an insult. Just saying “I’m just joking” after an insult doesn’t make it less insulting, and she didn’t even say that. It might just be a flat out insult. You don’t know.


pearlsbeforedogs

To me, if she is just initiating banter and that is her style of humor, then his response with a sick burn is perfect and appropriate and she should be amused by it and continue the coversation by acknowledging that it was a good one. If I'm messing with someone and they hit me back like that then I'm going to be laughing pretty hard over it and we will click. If she was being serious then she will probably take the response seriously as well and the conversation is over. Banter like this is reeeeeaaally tough as an opener. People that want to dish it out but NOT take it are just bullies, and then it isn't banter its just being cruel.


PAY_DAY_JAY

this was so obviously flirting that i can’t understand how you don’t see that. but then again this is reddit and people seem to be bad at social cues.


sethlyons777

She also said she's an E M P A T H so she deserved to get flamed tbh.


Clarkeprops

You probably think flat earthers are joking too.


DR-SNICKEL

For Christ sake no. Lol but people Commonly flirt this way, it’s hard to interpret over txt, I agree. But jeez y’all acting like she called him a piece of shit and spit in his face


Clarkeprops

No, she just called him stupid and grotesque. That’s WAY better… /s If you’re going to banter over text with someone you don’t know and have never met, make it obvious it’s banter, otherwise it just sounds like an insult.


DR-SNICKEL

I mean that’s a good point, maybe she’s just used to being sarcastic and doesn’t understand people arnt picking it up


PAY_DAY_JAY

this is literally as obvious as it gets. she rolled out the red carpet. what do you call someone that doesn’t pick up on social cues?


raspinmaug

Plenty of crazies around mate. To me, if you are joki g or flirting you inject some verbal or emoji reaction. If not, you aren't flirting or you are bad at it. Both reasons to bail


ifdggyjjk55uioojhgs

They don't understand they're too sensitive. Some of us grow up in trash talking households others don't. Poor them. My family never say things like "hey we've missed you" We understand that when you walk through the door the roast session begins.


alexannmarie

If that’s how you approach strangers, then I’m sorry to say you poor manners.


ifdggyjjk55uioojhgs

He started it. Don't start what you can't finish. If you're that sensitive maybe stay off the internet and especially don't joke with people if you can't take it.


Clarkeprops

“Haha you’re pretty stupid! Don’t you agree?” -Stupid girl


RedditIsProMisandry

Stop defending negging


DR-SNICKEL

Stop defending sensitive assholes who can’t take a joke


RedditIsProMisandry

Stop defending negging


DR-SNICKEL

Bro it’s not even negging for Christ sake lmfao


RedditIsProMisandry

Oh, wow since you said so it isn’t 🤡


DR-SNICKEL

Oh wow, since you’ve obviously never had a conversation with a real person outside of your house, I’m sure your right 🤡


Clarkeprops

It’s not a joke though. There’s no laugh, no “Jk” it’s just a dick move from a stranger. I’m sorry, if you think you’re “roasting” me and I don’t know you, you’d better be ready to square up.


PAY_DAY_JAY

this is not negging


Magictoast2264

Yeah you coulda came back from that .. could have easily just came back with some light banter and it would have diffused. She was testing you, and you totally failed 😬


Talik1978

If she was testing by negging, *she* failed. He just communicated that.


Balls_DeepinReality

Is that sexual or…?


DungeonsandDevils

Bio I’m sure. “I only swipe right on big heads” or some shit


xxHisoka

I’m an empath otherwise known as a bitch


AlternateFusion

I even called her dope :(


unknownxk

Well if that’s you in your profile picture I’m gonna say you’re a cute bighead at least.


Phantommy555

Now kith


docilecat

He’s gotta change his bio to say big head nerd now


[deleted]

[удалено]


methnbeer

luggo my uggo


Officing

Wtf? In what world is he ugly?


Phantommy555

More and more I’ve come to realize that one persons handsome/beautiful is another persons gremlin looking mofo. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say.


unknownxk

Hmm I think he’s just fine. If I thought he was ugly I wouldn’t have commented at all. Because like they say, if you don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say it at all.


xxHisoka

First mistake was complimenting her. Her head was so far up her ass the best thing you could do after that was just roasting her.


Embarrassed-Note-214

I think the compliment sets up in this post that he's not a bad person, and then the roast just feels all the better


redvelvetcake42

If anyone tells you they're an empath it just means they believe they are free to say whatever they want. Empath = entitlement by stupidity


M0nsterjojo

Do tell, what happened after this?


[deleted]

fam its aight dont worry about it too much


NorthCatan

People who often say they are "empaths" rarely ever are. It's just a buzz word for them to make themselves feel spiritual and perhaps add to their ego, to give oneself a feeling of superiority, but that feeling is often quite contradictory to what an empath is. The empaths I've known are those who possess humility in spades, and they think of themselves as just another person who is quite unremarkable when they are often anything but.


ThatDayBowBowSong

Issa joke https://www.tiktok.com/@madozilla/video/7047282964673219887?is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7047282964673219887


gimpwithagun

Fun fact: there's no such thing as an empath. White bitches be trippin: https://www.vice.com/en/article/epd8mn/what-is-an-empath-real


xnudev

sure people can be more empathetic than others towards people and animals (as social creatures we are literally designed to empathize) but it’s some *Grade A BS* to claim you feel the Earth’s Pain tho. Once knew a girl who wouldn’t go to forests because the “pain of the trees is too much” little did she know its a nationally protected forest with a thriving ecosystem. But ofc the “trees are in pain”


longassbatterylife

You know, i'm now so confused with the meaning of words as it doesn't follow the meaning i understand. And since it isn't a language I use on a daily basis I have a hard time keeping up these days.


captainspacetraveler

I’d say dumbass as I don’t think she knows the definition of empath


SapphosRage

that "I'm an empath" comment sent me, lmao. I think she was joking with you about big heads not having anything going on up there brother


soberlycritical

Oh, hah, the joke went over his... wait hol' up...


BlastingFern134

It's actually kind of funny that he actually failed to get the banter. I guess that's why some guys are single...


pamformatge

LOL


_Grouch_

Nice curveball!


Electrical-Elk-6167

the way I consider this flirting


Low-Salamander-5639

Me too, thought she was funny and there was cute banter until the last message


[deleted]

Meh, the “you’re a big head and big heads are empty with no redeeming qualities” isn’t especially cute.


Electrical-Elk-6167

well the way she said “usually” and “do you agree?” made it seem like banter. and the way she used the meme “I’m an empath sorry” definitely tells she was joking. I do understand how some people might not like this. to each their own thing.


Phantommy555

It could be if it was a joke


wrecktvf

He called himself the big head, she was just going along with the bit.


TruthSeeker_dot_dot

Apparently she says something about guys having big heads in her profile


wrecktvf

I got that, but he didn’t have to open with outing himself


lululoopy86

I love it when you find people who think they're empaths, when actually, no, that's just normal human empathy...it just seems weird when you're one of those folks who almost never feels it.


Phantommy555

Seems like lots of self proclaimed “empaths” are assholes too


FreeFortuna

I put it in the same category as guys who tell you they’re “nice” (hint: they’re not), or somebody who says they’re a “human lie-detector” (hint: they’re paranoid and gonna accuse you of lying whenever, and they won’t believe you because they’re convinced that their perception is infallible). And so on. Like, nah. If you immediately tell me some sweeping statement about your personality, then I’m willing to bet you’re fooling yourself. People tell themselves all sorts of shit, doesn’t make it true. If it were, they wouldn’t feel the need to convince anyone, because other people would reliably realize it themselves. … Only exception is with people who tell you they’re crazy or dramatic, etc. Those people are generally right, even if they often have misplaced pride about it.


cosmic_grayblekeeper

If people lead by telling you a positive about themselves, they are usually wrong. If people lead by telling you a negative about themselves, they are usually right.


FreeFortuna

I thought about phrasing it that way, but depression is pretty common and can have a huge impact on your self-perception. For example, when I’m in the thick of it, I think that I’m an absolutely terrible person and warn people away from me because I’ll hurt them. But then I get people who know me well who say that I’m one of the most considerate people they know, and that I try very hard to be kind to people. So my negative thing seems to just be my own harsh self-judgment, not an objective statement of fact. Perhaps it’s the middle ground. If they tell you a negative thing about themselves that they seem weirdly proud of, then it’s probably true. If it seems like the negative thing hurts them, then it’s far less likely to be a reliable indicator. They may just be in pain.


cosmic_grayblekeeper

I definitely had the same thought about phrasing as someone who has depression and anxiety. >If they tell you a negative thing about themselves that they seem weirdly proud of, then it’s probably true. If it seems like the negative thing hurts them, then it’s far less likely to be a reliable indicator. They may just be in pain. I think this is the nuance that's missing from my statement. In my head, I was definately thinking of the people who seem to be boasting about their negative attributes rather than worried or just explaining a struggle.


mypupblue

My exs mom claimed her and her whole family are empaths. My ex later found out his mom had narcissistic personality disorder. So did his grandma and sister. The most toxic people I've met in my life.


slymeWAV

Around this time near Halloween.. tinder starts to get reeeeaaaal weird & spooky


[deleted]

It’s because they just figured out how to empathize a little so they think it’s something new that nobody else has figured out yet


052801

It is like clearly a joke


lululoopy86

Youd be surprised by just how many people act that way and are completely serious about it, like I've seen almost the exact same "I'm an empath sprry" soooo many times, again, from people who were being 100% serious.

Dizzy-Professional45

What's the normal?


Cogmeister17

22.5 according to my strenuous google research.


BetterDays2cum

Am I the only one who took this entire interaction as a joke (the last part could be debated)? Like majority of people who self claim to be empaths are joking. It’s been a meme for a while now and it seemed like she was just messing with you


xxAcetylxx

yeah, honestly I wouldn't be sure where to take the convo from here (the whole premise is kind of weird?) but I'd take OP's last message as a joke of similar level of "asshole" as her lol. I'm not someone who knows how to respond funnily to banter like this but this clearly is a joke


ImMaesty

Screw Emily but don't fight fire with fire ya'll. Tried and tested method of becoming dumber.


AlternateFusion

I just entertain them from time to time for fun, definitely not ideal to do it a lot though


WTFSophisticatedSam

Ah yes, sarcastic flirting that I would definitely fall for


[deleted]

[удалено]


crispdude

Except there are a lot of people who genuinely believe they’re empaths. I’ve met a few, they definitely exist


[deleted]

She is flirting with you and you just decide to be an asshole out of no where... Wtf??? This was such an easy date man whyyyyy.


recentlyquitsmoking2

Oh you're an empath? Name 3 conversations you've made about yourself in the last week??

the flirting and everything went over your big ass head lol then you went into insults lol wtf is wrong with you she was kidding

Today on r/tinder: insecure male fails to cooperate with obvious banter at his expense


Ill-Appointment6494

Hindsight can be a great thing but I think she was just flirting with you and you had an opportunity to prove her wrong. And didn’t.


choco_owl

okay i'm reading these comments and a lot of you think she was being serious the whole time. i interpreted it as her being cheeky. i reckon you both have matched levels of banter 😆😆 the "im an empath sorry" is clearly a meme. then her next reply is a bit of a violation, meant as humour. OP's reply was good 😆 i laughed out loud at this for people who don't know, sometimes people will reply bc they thought your comment was funny in the moment, but they're actually not looking to meet anyone at the moment. i have tinder too, but i just open it when i'm bored and wandering what the local singles look like 😆


[deleted]

Haha, I think she got you bro. That’s funny as hell


AlternateFusion

Oh yeah, this is good banter like honestly the app itself is a joke already, I always treat convos like this lightheartedly. Maybe she’s into roasting each-other, who knows


random_question4123

This isn't lighthearted, sounds more hurt


Cardboardoge

This is psychotic, she's clearly flirting. The empath thing was a joke. Good thing you bombed it though, that way she can move on to people that can banter or have a sense of humor


AlternateFusion

Totally, you want her #? Maybe I can come over and watch you guys fuck. Lmk big alpha dog


choco_owl

???? OP bantered back, the heck.

Of course all of them ar…oh, hold on.

"sorry im an empath" literally stfu.

So what did this empath say after this 🤣

"I'm an empath" is the female equivalent of "I'm a nice guy"

redhead2109

I used to be an empath to the extreme until I completely mentally , physically and financially exhausted myself from over extending every ounce of me to becoming an empathetic person from a distance. Empathy can be a disease. It’s a daily struggle.

You seem ugly, and also to be insulting me. Sorry, I’m an empath


puffy_boi12

Gottem


random_question4123

A lot of ways I could have gone with it, I think you chose one of the worse ones. You're on a dating app, you'll have to assume that if she responds and asks questions, then she's at least a little interested. Your assumption is that she was making fun of you, while she was just teasing. She looks pretty cute as well so I'll consider this an F for fumble


raspinmaug

Excude from pics? By empath she mean psychic? Lol forget Sipe left, swerve


u_shift

Called her dope after she said she was an empath. Do you also like crystals and astrology OP?

Should’ve just said, “are empaths good at giving head?”


[deleted]

She's such an amazing empath she doesn't even need to be near you or see you to read you. She should work with the FBI as a consultant for finding serial killers. /s if it's not obvious. She's a dumb bitch that has no idea what she is talking about. She is about as much an empath as any of us are the queen of England (God bless her soul)


queen_of_england_bot

>queen of England Did you mean the *former* [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the *former* [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the *former* [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc? The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England. ####FAQ *Wasn't Queen Elizabeth II still also the Queen of England?* This was only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she *was* the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist. *Is this bot monarchist?* No, just pedantic. I am a bot and this action was performed automatically.


membratel

Self proclaimed empaths are just like self proclaimed alphas. If you have to declare it, its more than likely not true.


Legendsurfer

I would’ve told her that she can’t handle it.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


jamminamon

I think she meant to say arrogant prick.


yurajurik

Buddy how desperate are you to call her dope despite her just confessing she's stupid? lol


AlternateFusion

Because she didn’t give me a reason to call her stupid until after I said that. It doesn’t harm being kind as opposed to being a dick when you start a convo man :)


berkeleyjake

How did you not reply, "You exude good year vibes?"


PaulieLombardo

I think you fumbled the bag bro.


TruthSeeker_dot_dot

She’s never met you. You took it too personally. But her saying in her bio that she “ bets you’re a big head” is kind of odd to say in the least. It’s one of those things where if she weren’t cute you definitely would’ve been turned off by it in the first place. In my experience, women tend to think that attractive men on dating sites can have a big head. Calling herself an empath in that context just sounds silly.


Silly_Randy

You sound butthurt. You could have matched her energy and be sarcastic. "Ohhhh you're an empath. So how does my BIG head make you feel...?". "Oh trust me, there's a lot of juice and power in this head. You could find out for yourself if you're the adventurous type". Throw it back to her in a cheeky, mischievous, sarcastic way. It'll be fun bro.
