This is a very small, minor version of this same phenomenon:
When girls read this poast they’re like “WTF stupid assholes men always talk about sex and then when you give it to them they leave UGGGGGGGHHHHHHH“
To us it makes sense. Yeah, she wants praise, but she wants the right praise at the right time. What value does it have when she gets a deluge out of the gate? There’s no victory there, no prize. She knows you’ve said the same thing to every other date you’ve been on. She wants to feel like she’s hearing things that no other woman ever has

How am I supposed to connect it to the fact, that she's obviously falling for the guy, who isn't even listening to her, and just says lines, he had repeated so many times, he's bored of repeating it himself?
@LukeAlmighty @YeetLibs That’s why you don’t need to say lines. I feel like all my dating got better the more burned out and weary I was about it. Just being a little appraising and almost condescendingly antagonistic is better than treating being the sucker looking 50 years ahead thinking in run-on sentences like
“I gotta make great memories because we’ll be telling our kids about this date for the rest of our lives I wonder if the kids will have her hair and my eyes I love the way she laughs its so cute I wonder when her birthday is“
(But yeah they do always fall for the same lines as the rest, but if they’re working then the guy’s got the cachet to pull them off)
