Recently, I encountered a meme on Instagram that had two pictures. One was a screenshot of a person asking someone "what music do you listen to" and the other picture was basically a picture of Squidward where he looked exhausted (the other person's reaction to the text). I read the comment section and there were so many different interpretations of what people thought the meme meant, it even got emotional and led to debates.
A.) A few people saw it as the person being overwhelmed with the question because they listen to so many artists from different genres. B.) Others, saw it as something relatable, they scoff at the question because they were expecting something else. C.) And some, viewed it the same way B did but were not happy with the way the person reacted to the text then went on how people don't bother getting to know basic stuff about others anymore and that the reactor was just some asshole.
Lol, listen...
As a person that grew up going to 10 different schools (yes, exactly 10) and has started over so many times, I actually empathize with the three groups, however, I disagree with group C because that's not always the reason for people's lack of enthusiasm for that question. Some of us are just tired. Platonic or romantic, it's tiring going through these phases again of having to get to know others with no guarantee of any successful longevity. On the other hand, I can be tolerant but I can also be intolerant, especially when it comes to shallow people and their shallow conversations.
For instance, this guy slid in my DMs and thought the best way to introduce himself to me was to mention how much he was sexually attracted to me by making a hyperbole of what he wanted to do to me (wrong move buddy) BUT he wanted to get to know me first. The curiosity in me wanted to know how much would be knowing me "enough" for him to think "ok, let me fuck you now". My goodness they were the most basic questions and unfortunately we didn't even get to the "what kind of music do you listen to?" part because at the point I just stopped engaging, the conversations weren't meaningful, the chemistry wasn't there, and he made it clear that he's just in lust. But it was amusing because even if I were to be interested in his bargaining, the end result would still be no, because you're just not asking the right questions for me.
If you're looking for a good time, you'll have some luck because there are a lot of like minded people for you who are seeking something casual. If you're looking to be a Casanova...then you need to be a bit more creative and charming than that in order to sweet talk someone out of their panties or boxers.
