Ppl who catcall or harass ppl and then clearly show that they are aware that you are dodging them just think either of two things. One that this like a game, if he says the right thing, he will unlock somehow likeability or impress a woman. Two that the woman is playing hard to get and that she just needs to be dominated to 'give it up'. That he might somehow get her to accept advances or give him a chance just because she's tired of fending him off. In both cases they know they aren't wanted and usually these ppl get mad after or tell you, you lead them on. BC they feel like they wasted their time and energy when they were completely unwanted and somehow feelike they are being looked down upon if they get rejected. As in 'does she think I'm not good enough' ?!

This video reminded me of a fun harmless brony story to share: in March of 2020 when I was 23 years I was in San Diego for work related training. My friend, a 28 year old woman, who I used to work with was also there for some long term work event and I decided to visit her. She was staying a hotel meant for long term stays with her husband whom I had never meant. He was hanging with some of his friends and she invited me to catch up. I was told just to come in and as soon as I do I am greeted by my friend, her husband and 3 of his friends (all of similar ages) watching a stream of my little pony. I see them slightly freeze at seeing an outsider and they say “it’s not what it looks like”. Now I had been a teen online during the 2010s and saw the worst the brony fandom had to offer on the likes of 4chan, but I knew instantly that these people were harmless and just enjoyed the show. Without missing a beat I said “what season are we on and how do you guys feel about about the Equestria Girls movie?” I saw them all visibly relax and offer me pizza and beer. I was never in the fandom myself but absorbed enough info from internet osmosis to get by. They were all pretty cool people with a shared interest. I have to emphasis this was days before the lockdown and the last hangout I had before being stuck in my hotel room. They were all discussing whether there was still going to be any fan conventions going on. Looking back I’m so glad I didn’t let any of the online interactions I’ve had over the years change my perception of these people and I had a fun time.

12:34 bro “High value male” how do these people know what a high value male is? They probs weigh 250 and sit in the basement eating cheese doodles, sure ain’t them.

[@lordshaxx4693]

I will bet my entire stockpile of seasonal wine that those people in the relationship sub are all single and can't get more then one date either for expecting to be waited on like a servant or being a fanatical yes man.

[@teas3998]

I remember being 16 and working register at a pizza place, and I've almost been KIDNAPPED after work. Had to be walked out by my coworkers every day since then. A lot of "Oh sorry I'm 16. I can't talk to a 20+ year old." "Oh thats okay, I don't mind that you're 16." Like????

[@FishbedFive]

I love how smug that dude is, i can just imagine a wojak meme *"NOOOOOOOO!!!! THROW THAT AWAAAAY!!! THROW THAT BEEER AWAAAAAAAAY!!!"* "no :)"

[@z0mbeez]

for real that brony bowling event looked fun as hell

[@fantasyskeep]

I feel for the dude. I've had women who I gave up on because of their lack of interest call me a dick because I lost interest in their silent and boring af personalities.

[@oliviaj9060]

3:02 the unalive yourself comment seemed like a response to him saying “they’re paying me” and she says “to k* yourself”

[@ghostytrickster33]

i may be biased as a brony myself, but that bowling picture is adorable and i'd love to be part of something like that.

[@prodbytarantino]

That man took 6 shots and can still talk normally, if that’s not proof he drinks a little too often idk what is.

[@lightning5054]

I really love your videos Cue, you have such a refreshing perspective on on posts, not so outraged or put off by stuff that it seems irrational, but also not so indifferent that its mundane or boring, it hits right in the middle where it seems like a genuine human reaction rather than the internets reaction ya know? keep up the good work

[@smashlegend25]

No, that’s just a stereotypical anime protagonist when he gets a harem.

[@beansalad6242]

Hey cue, the first story the mom says, “you’re going to kys.” She clearly fears for him, he could be a recovered alcoholic, in severe debt and can’t afford to move out, or he may even be disabled in some capacity not visible in this situation.

[@moonlightwolf]

I work in a daycare. "Kiddo" is a normal term for small children

[@Cman04092]

I hope the cops came for that garbage NYC weddimg party. Blocking an ambulance who has the lights on is a crime. They could litterally cost someone their life here. And if their shenanigans did get someone killed they need manslaughter charges as well

[@jaytealstone1687]

4:00 is very very obviously satire

[@oOzephyrOo]

Oh the christian dude screaming his lungs out at the other dude drinking beer - oh it's real. They raise their kids with the same conviction, I know because I've survived it.

[@audrey.d]

Oh my gosh, the femcel replies to that text convo make me feel so bad for men. No wonder guys don’t know how to approach women. You’re right, they can’t decide between liking decisiveness and thinking it makes you a jerk. It’s pathetic and just reveals their insecurities as women. Ugh.

[@darylesells19]

These are the women I point to when Incel guys say that their female counterparts “can’t be real”. They are very real and just as sad in my opinion. Femcels do to good women what incels do to good men by claiming they alone speak for the entirety of either group. Makes me ashamed to be a woman when these people act as if we all act / think the same way.

[@VillainKinnie]

i know this is an older video and you might not see this, but heres a little clarification for the one where the guy streaming gets confronted by his mom. i listened, and from what i understood, this was the conversation at 2:31: him: “theyre paying me money-“ her: “-to kill yourself!” she was saying that his chat was giving him money to indulge in behaviors that could end up with repercussions to his health, not literally telling him to off himself. just wanted to specify since it seemed like you were confused. hope this helps!

[@lizipearlvlogs]

That guy sounds great. He had a guideline and idea, but let her ultimately choose so that their time would coincide. He asked for her opinion, but suggested something in case she wanted more options.

[@PeachysMom]

The mother and son: they’re both equally at fault. It’s an enmeshed relationship - they can’t live without being up in each others’ grilles but they also hate each other.

[@BadgerCheese94]

I dont see hate. I see love mixed with disappointment and regret. No hate from either side.

[@vee8080]

Before the mum said "to kill yourself?" he said: "They're paying me!" and her response was "to kill yourself?" She wasn't telling him to kill himself she was genuinely concerned that strangers on the internet were paying him to drink himself to death

[@Buff_Helpy]

3:38 oh I know that guy, he's Bill Jensen, a character on Instagram and KZbin, he's funny.

[@lilbabykitten]

at 3:00, it sounds like she said "you're gonna kill yourself". i think he probably has an addiction issue

[@FreakyFrisco]

why is no one talking about how wholesome the second one is. Like i love how the lunch people are trying to relate to the kids. good shit. good shit.

[@degeneratewithasideoftidep6795]

The way the first guy’s face shifted from edgy main character to main character’s friend was real fun

[@charles-co2vh]

I love how his fans ratted him out lol

[@1stpaperdragon740]

Out of all my siblings I’m the only one who’s currently in college and my parents told me that when I graduated I could stay with them because they didn’t want me buying apartment and save up for a house. But honestly I couldn’t live with my parents past the age of 25...I just couldn’t

[@puffer_frog]

Gotta admit, yeah i found the guy in the text pretty oblivionish, but hey, it's an earnest attempt to hold a conversation and hold a meeting. I totally did not expect a whole line of crazy conspiracy theorists making strage out-there assumptions tho.

[@lovepepsiman1903]

She didn’t tell him to “unalive himself” she said “you are going to k!11 yourself” 3:10

[@BeccaRaptor94]

13:30 they are all complaining because he wasn’t “man enough” to make decisions but when he suggests something, he’s wrong for not letting her pick? Make up your minds!

[@crystalgemgirl731]

That's the problem with those kinds of feminists, men can't win no matter what they do.

[@Eromatics]

14:13 You know what screams low value human to me? someone who types an essay on reddit about a perfectly fine conversation

[@d0nnyr0n]

11:26 I like how one of the things they didn't like was him suggesting a place "by me!" as if he purely wanted them to come over to his house and not just that, you know, he would only know places fairly close to his house because *he lives there*. People don't just know every restaurant ever, they only know what they have been to or heard of.

[@Sai.Divine]

The Anime one just makes me so angry. I had a cousin like that and he tried to steal a baby pic of me ._.

[@donkeyhobo34]

I love you

[@SM-yz4hi]

the cringe hits even harder when it reminds you of people you actually know

[@JackieOwl94]

I feel so bad for that chick. And if she just tells him to leave, her boss will likely reprimand her for being rude to a customer. Also, the entire subreddit of female dating strategies is horrific to read.

[@jennsimpson_backup3333]

Yeah...so I'm a recovering addict and I totally understand and recognise that dynamic. It's fear dude. I'd lay money that dude has/had a drinking issue before.

[@AnAngryMagpie]

man,, I actually love cues vids. I love when he covers cringe subreddits he always calls out people just making fun of fat people or people for their fandoms. It's honestly so nice, Cringe culture when it comes to most fandoms should just die.

[@YetAnotherGeorgeth]

That female dating strategy sub seems a bit sus to me. It’s either incels who try and act how they think “females” act, or they’re actual Nice Girls. Then again I’ve been jaded by most things on the internet recently.

[@Luke_existent]

0:22 gotta love how his double chin is still noticeable even with the filter on

[@fantasyskeep]

the mother at the beginning said "you're going to kill yourself" about the alcohol.

[@sianchild]

That first one, I think the cringiest bit is that he's putting on that voice because he thinks he sounds smooth.

[@liamsullivan8716]

Bro you've been on your grind recently, love your vids been watching since 2019 or 2018 but I've always loved watching you grow. Merry Christmas bud

[@neoqueto]

Those comments under that last post... And people keep wondering why I have social anxiety. That'll make me overanalyze everything I say and every social cue during a conversation even more than I do now. Know a great place that just happens to be near me? "Well what if she's gonna see it as a red flag, can't go there?". I pick the restaurant? "What if I'm not giving her a say in the matter and thus she gets upset?". She gets to pick the restaurant? "What if she'll be mad that she has to do all the work?".

[@neonoir__]

2:40 she tells him "you're gonna kill yourself" so she is worried about him drinking too much?
