    You are awfully committed to pushing all of the benefit of the doubt to him and all of the obligation to her. Why do you think that is?

    You know that the moment she stops replying, his further comments will be more toxic than the ones in the screenshot.

      Sibling in Christ, I am gay. I have no vested interest in whether one is a man or a woman. Their behavior is shitty either way you paint it. Besides, I’ve seen this play out in same-gender scenarios.

      The block button was specifically made for this.

        you’re assuming genders

        Show me a man named Chloe or a woman as clueless and pushy as the guy on the right

          I’ve seen this play out between two men and two women. And for that same reason, I had a slip-up because to me it’s not a matter of gender at all. But there, fixed, the point still stands.

            Yes, true. Love block buttons. Glad they exist.

            The existence of block buttons does not excuse pushy behavior.

              It’s not even pushy nor clueless, though. From my pov, the guy gave it a couple of attempts and then said something to address the elephant in the room. If someone were pushy, they’d play clueless and keep at it instead of losing their patience like that. I don’t imagine he persisted after this.
