I would never, ever look at someone else like they were a cute animal. That’s beyond patronizing and just a little bit gross besides

xp - i know where it comes from and why people joke -- i agree with the others and don't even think the opening story is that bad, mildly dorky
feel free to laugh at yourselves -- i simply urge you to remember 1) there are other people here and 2) laughing at yourself doesn't really do anything to solve the problem even though it relieves your own bad feelings. it may even increase group solidarity among people who have experienced similar (just like yerac's fb convo probably increased solidarity among that group)
i felt compelled to speak up because i am not a man. it's not the easiest thing to do but i did it anyway.

although dude if you can lighten the darkness with more reports of your dorkiness around pretty people then I am comfortable going on record encouraging that. 🖐
