The man who asks if the carpet matches the drapes as a pickup line is never embarrassed to explain. In fact, he’d be more “let’s find out together” or some shit. I kinda feel this is one of those influencers spreading bullshit. While it’s possible this occurred it doesn’t track. For that reason, I’m out.
Yeah no. This is a super common tactic to shut up assholes and it works because these people are so used to being completely normalized that having someone show them that what they're doing is in fact really fucking weird and not normal instead of just going along with it fucks with them.
Yeah. I used this technique in the 90s. Someone said such and such thing was so gay, and I asked him what was gay about it. It at least changed his speech patterns around me.
Socratic method makes people who aren't being creeps uncomfortable enough as is. It's funny that people would just automatically write this entire scenario off as fiction.
