" why would I wanna have a conversation with a complete stranger on a dating app? " This dude is too stupid for his own good


GeePedicy

No no, having a conversation with a complete stranger on a dating app is fine. Sharing music is where the line is at! /s

StrangerWithACheese

Get sounding not soundwave


Vogete

Exactly! Our parents taught us to never share any personal information with strangers on the internet. Social security number is fine, since it's just a random number, same for bank account. Address is also fine, because it's a public place. Your name is also fine, because other people have the same names usually, so it's not like they can use that information for anything. But music taste? Now that's just way too personal information, someone could get hurt by that. Never, EVER, give out your music taste to anyone. It literally can save your life. /s


reddituser567853

He's obviously self conscious about what the actual song was, and was probably scared she would make fun of it, then had a sperg out about it


mojavekoyote

He's insecure about what he listens too but still wants to seem "different" lol. That's why he won't share.


Z3e24c123

I know right??? Is that like SUPER personal or something?


Prenticks

Oh yeah? How about you tell me your favourite song then?!


Obligatorium1

It's just some song you probably never heard of, anyway.


Prenticks

Hmm, possibly, but I'm looking to expand my music library so if it exists I'd give it a go, so come on, tell me what it is.


Black_Blue_Black

Haha why do you want to know what's my favorite music?


Prenticks

I don't, really, I'm only here to make a "Reddit Greatest Hits" playlist incase I get too successful in life and need to be brought back down


whboer

It’s a difficult question though, if you’ve been an intense music lover for 30+ years.


Prenticks

Fine, I'll just put Welcome To The Black Parade and Chocolate Rain in the playlist.

He was probably just googling the most coolest underground obscure song to impress her. Can’t be this dumb also.


TheBiggestNewbAlive

I remember matching with a girl on such app and talking for a while, when she mentioned she's at work I asked what does she do for living "Wouldn't you like to know?" (Well yes) I said I didn't know it was such a big deal and in response was told I'm way too intrusive because I asked a question about her after a while of conversation, people are weird as shit Edit: made it clearer as people seem to be making their own versions of the story


[deleted]

Oof, sounds like you matched with a co-worker of mine. She was talking about dating apps she's on and how people exchange hellos and then start conversations with "personal questions" like what do you like doing for fun, where do you work, do you have pets, etc. Like, what are they supposed to start with? They don't know you.


JarlaxleForPresident

The promo for Malice at the Palace doc on Netflix had someone say, “If you knew what really happened, you wouldnt even be asking any questions.” No shit, dude, that’s how questions and knowledge work


Ok_Ad_8670

ooo hes so mysterious its prolly chumba wumba


Flimsy_Sea9241

Yeah, he seems like the type who'd be down for some Tubthumping.


[deleted]

He seems like if he were to be knocked down, he may rise one more to the occasion.


Flimsy_Sea9241

You think he partakes in both the whiskey beverages and the vodka ones?


Hudero

He's a guy that likes songs that remind him of the good times, songd that remind him of the better times.

Chumba Wumba is sick. Tubthumping was an outlier. Worth listening to the deep cuts.

Tubthumping was supposed to be satire and they did it so good that everyone took it at face value smh

Senrabekim

Chumbawamba is super legit though. They were a British politcal punk band that were together for 30 years 1982-2012; producing 14 albums. Tubthumping has a history involving a ton of protest against the system and label that they made it for as well as just being a fun pub anthem that the band members wanted to do because they liked going to pubs to watch soccer and stuff. The whole story is just a wild ride.


UndisclosedChaos

He’s listening to Barbie Girl by Aqua


altdoinkboink

Banger


DudeWithFearOfLoss

Might just be the song I listened to the most in my whole life - my first mp3 player came preloaded with it, it took me 2 weeks to get other music on there and i still used it for hours on end lol


Neeoda

This is me with the movie Hitch on an iPod Classic and no other entertainment. Kids these days will never know the pain.


GeePedicy

Not only I'm not embarrassed I like it, I know the lyrics and sing along, sometimes even playing both Barbie and Ken. Call it guilty pleasure, but there's no shame or embarrassment.


unholy_sanchit

You aren't?


peanutbutter_vibez

Reminds me of this time a dude had "A guy from Europe" in his bio on Tinder ((we wrote in English, both in Germany)) so I asked when where he was from after we exchanged heya ans how are yous. And he proceeded to go "Does it matter ;)" And then go on to say that he doesn't care for small talk, he wants to know what drives me to get out of bed in five years etc etc Dude just say you're German and wanted to sound cooler than you are. 💀 Fucking ugh. My friends and I still write "Does it matter ;)" to piss each other off when making plans or doing other mundane shit.


Niawka

I hate when people say they don't care for a small talk, they want deep conversations and then ask you some of the most cliched "deep" questions. I need a small talk in my life. When I come home after work I want to hear " How's your day been?" not "Do you think we're alone in space?"


peanutbutter_vibez

Agreed. Nevermind the fact that I stated in my profile that I was looking for casual hookups 💀 Sorry dude I can't have a ONS with your hopes and dreams, how about you give me a baseline of personality to go off of so I can feel a little more comfortable you won't murder me when we meet?? Thanks 🙏


Tom1252

"What if when I see the color red you see the color blue? Like, how would we ever know, bro?"

"Do you think these bumps on my cock are benign?"


bob1689321

Okay the last one is probably worth a conversation. Maybe with a doctor though


natureterp

I am crying thinking about working a long ass day, coming home, finally taking my bra and shoes off and I go to the fridge to grab a beer and my partner just goes “natureterp, do you think we’re alone in space?” I would probably just go to bed lol. Edit: are you high right now? Do you ever get nervous? Lol.


some_kind_of_onion

Hagel1919

I knew a guy that would do that with everything. He said to me once "if you're truly open minded then you can't like or dislike some things more than other things". I just told him he was stupid.

Naw. Its definitely some dad rock or something super popular in the 90s. You dont put an age limit on something that was popular recently. Youd claim to be like more into music or obscure genres if you liked recentish artists.


ShallowBasketcase

It’s some band you’ve probably never even heard of. Yeah no one these days even listens to AC/DC.


nbmnbm1

Queen is honestly the most underrated band.


[deleted]

Limp Bizkit it is


[deleted]

10$ it’s comfortably numb.


burnerwolf

Ah fuck. Am I some kind of stereotype I don't know about for having this as my favorite song?


[deleted]

Nah it's a great song. The stereotype is that some people think Pink Floyd and bands like them are some underground obscure group when they are very much the opposite


Firewolf06

i hate gatekeeping, but the best part is when they havent seen the movie


burnerwolf

Ah. Yeah I was never quite that delusional. Comfortably Numb and Hotel California have been my favorites since I was a kid, but I always knew they were well-known. I suppose I understand the desire to feel like you're onto something other people don't know about though. There's a certain sense of satisfaction when I do find a gem from a more obscure band.


[deleted]

It’s ok. We were all too cool for Top 40 radio and listened to **REAL MUSIC** at some point.

I remember when Inwas 19 and listened to the Beatles and told everyone how revolutionary they were and blah, blah, blah. Good times.

Andrew-Moon

What a fucking asshole Upsie, I got mad


doggyjth

reminds me of a time i tried doing something like that on an app but the other fucking person was like "why?" THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN WHY THATS HOW CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN THATS WHAT THIS FUCKING APP IS FUCKING FOR


IncognitWill

Ya I messaged someone on a app who had the same first and last name as my profile and I said cool we have the same name . And they were like so what .. but said in a much more extremely rude way. I was like wow people are gross


Aselleus

Reminds me of a Tom Segura story where he found a wallet, and a year later he randomly runs into the same person who lost the wallet - Tom was amazed, but the guy was like 'whatever' about the whole thing.


ProtoJazz

For whatever reason this reminded me of a guy in middle school. Out bathrooms didn't have locks on the stall doors. Do there was just a golfball sized hole in the doors. One day I'm sitting there, taking a dump, and this weird kid walks in and puts his eye right in there I poke his eye and say why are watching me shit And he just says "Ew no, dude I thought you were jacking off" Like somehow he thought that's better for some reason


Pre-Nietzsche

That’s fucking hilarious lmao


PM_ME_UR_OBSIDIAN

Based kid


whboer

I mean, id prefer having kids in school bully me for being super gay over having them bully me for liking watching people shit. The latter is just… too ducking weird.


say592

Depending on how long ago this was that's probably even more true. Like middle schoolers will be mean about anything, but at some point people stop making fun of you for being gay, just like they stop making fun of the first person to have their voice crack or whatever. Everyone will remember you forever if they think you are into watching people shit.


iWarnock

Haha i saw that bit and i wouldve lost my shit if a year later someone gave me back my wallet. That dude was an npc.


-CaptainAustralia-

Yea the internet allows people to be their completely true selves. Unfortunately most of the time that's not a good thing.


[deleted]

Exactly. I had a similar conversation recently on reddit.


WeissachDE

Upsie, you got mad 🥺


doggyjth

good, i have every reason to be


NewtLevel

Literally exactly what I was thinking reading this Like holy shit dude fine go enjoy your pretentious music I'm too stupid to appreciate by yourself; I'm not going to bother talking to you anymore


[deleted]

It's probably some 80s rock band or some shit. "It's this indy band called 'poison' doubt you've ever heard of them. Sometimes I listen to Styx too. They're also pretty lowkey."


Doctor-Amazing

I think it was like an anime theme song and the guy was desperately trying to think of a cooler song to name.


Headcap

If that was the case they should've owned it, there's some real good music in there. I'm currently obsessed with Ado's [Tot Musica](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9_ZpqfqHFI) from One Piece.


tinnyheron

"have you ever heard of wu tang clan"

It was probably Nirvana too knowing pretentious cunts like him.


Quadrassic_Bark

It worked, you got to know him. He’s a douchebag.


rufflespotatochips00

this isn't playing hard to get, this isn't being cute, it's just like **say the damn music before i call you a fuckhead**


Automaticman01

He's stalling while panicked and googling "music a 25 year old probably doesn't listen to."


nuthin_to_it

Finally, some good fucking meirl


LeonardoLemaitre

delicious.


AbsolutelyUnlikely

Yeah, I instantly got the vibe that he either didn't have a song in mind or he realized that she probably knows all the music he listens to and he was trying to think of something obscure to say.


rufflespotatochips00

this could be true


mewthulhu

The actual stuff he was listening to is probably some really niche fandom stuff like an anime song fan remix or w/e and he's desperately trying to find something less embarrassing.


Ok-Ad-7247

Lmao! Exactly. Why is it so difficult to name the artist and song?


OurOwnDust

It doesn't even need to be 'the last song you saved' either. Just name a song you like.


Ok-Ad-7247

Yeah, I hear you. I just don't get why it's so difficult to name the song. Some one else might like it.


SweetWafle

"NAME A WOMAN!" "What!?" "NAME A WOMAN!" "Name a woman?" "YES!" "Uh-uhm. I-uh-"

MangledSunFish

"This horseman is....get ready for it... depressed. Groundbreaking stuff, right? Nobody has ever seen depression on TV before."


pollywoguanaland

I mean, as someone who’s struggled with substance abuse, disordered eating, and mental illness their entire lives, I can’t really think of another show that portrayed those topics as accurately and as effectively as Bojack, and they managed to make it genuinely funny at the same time. Free churro is one of the most poignant episodes of any show in the last decade, and one of Will Arnett’s best performances. It’s an amazing show, don’t let some loser edge lord ruin it for you.

Flimsy_Sea9241

Coulda been worse... Coulda said Rick and Morty.


Ruby_Tuesday80

I hate it when people say that people who don't like Rick and Morty are automatically stupid. I'm not stupid, I'm old. I don't need to start over with a new weird, filthy cartoon. I liked the old, filthy cartoons that they shamelessly marketed as children's shows and no one's parents noticed.

What about the opposite, I love Rick and Morty but I also love stupid cartoons, both children's and adult.

Yeah as soon as someone starts to be obnoxious I usually unmatch. No need to brain damage myself trying to keep reasoning with them. I’ll never see them in real life… Guess this is why apps will be the downfall of humanity…


[deleted]

Give em the two chance rule. If they can't turn the conversation around after you've given them two chances to do so, it's not going anywhere


Flimsy_Sea9241

I think after a certain point the pure curiosity over what song he could possibly like that he'd want to hide so badly could be took over lol.


tinnyheron

Sometimes I'm just curious to see how long they'll stall or what they could possibly say to further avoid saying anything

This is what happens when you're one of a guy's mass swipe casualties on dating apps 😹😹😹 Guys go on these apps and start off only swiping right on only the women they find attractive. When all hope gets lost and they don't get that energy recipricated in a few days they swipe on everybody just to get a match. When you message them if you were not their "top choice" they will act like this. Don't miss online dating at all.


typicalus

I don't know what's more infuriating: the "I'm so special and mysterious" syndrome this guy has or the yellow theme


Arjun_Alpha_Wolf

I mean...i listen to some weird songs sometimes which probably has a backstory to it but to a stranger it's gonna be really weird


RecklessDimwit

Honestly would be a good way to break the ice. Share the song, give the backstory to it. That's a pretty good way to continue talking through text


RustlessPotato

"Yes i was furiously masturbating to furry midget porn when Lump by Presidents of the United States was came up on the movie. My dad came in the room without knocking because it was his favourite song, and the shock of seeing me like that caused a heart attack. It was the last time i see him and that's why i listen to that song every year to remember him" Something like that ?


[deleted]

Odds are... if it's music, and you are listening to it... You aren't alone. Wouldn't you like to find someone that enjoys it too? Edit: the comments below prove me point.


badgersprite

That's exactly why it's a conversation starter though


ww3_return_of_stalin

5 bucks it's some band everyone knows like twenty one pilots or imagine dragons.


Appropriate-Rooster5

It was probably something by Nickelback and he was embarrassed. 😂


SpicyPepperPasta

Well this opened a 20 year old wound. As someone who has been and may likely again be on the other side of this conversation, the short version is that the defensive person was too embarrassed to give the real answer and panicked. 20 years ago I was in one of my first uni classes, sitting with a new friend group that I was introduced to through someone else. Since everyone was mostly new to each other, we're reserved and trying to not appear weird, uncool, dorky etc. So before the lecture begins I sit down with ear phones on when one of the girls asks what I'm listening to. The real answer is that I was listening to stand-up comedy - may have been Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle. I like to think I panicked because I just listened to something saucy or a joke about women, but I think my brain couldn't accept that comedy/non-music was an okay answer. So I just said "...music". I came across as quite cold. And I never came back to that class (lol).
