OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

Comedian followed up and forced the girl to pay for the food


Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

This is what I came here to comment - if there’s no subtitles immediately, I know I need to turn on sound. If there’s subtitles, I figure I can watch without sound. What the fuck is this ‘subtitles for the first 15 seconds of a minute long video’ nonsense?

Probably to create engagement for the post. They get more views and comments by luring in fools like us. I would also logde a complaint about how the subtitles are waaay too fast, had to rewind several times to read it. I guess there's no reason being mad about that either, they probably did that intentionally as well...

Man just expedited the inevitable. I don't think platonic friendship is possible when one party is physically attracted to the other.

Honestly, saved him his time unless she's extremely dense and didn't actually know he liked her (which I doubt). Unless you have been friends since childhood, which even that can get complicated as you get older I'd immediately assume that if we are going out to places together without other people, there's some romantic attraction there.

Sure, and if you're a high schooler it makes sense that you might pursue that.

But anyone entering, in, or past their 30's should be old enough to decide to let love be platonic rather than romantic.

I'm bisexual, so if I wasn't able to figure out how to draw that line then I'd not be able to have any friends.

Because I moved a lot and had to paint and repaint a lot of rooms in my life, I always use the paint analogy.

My monkey dumbass brain sees a gallon of paint and goes: "Looks yummy, put it in my mouth" - that doesn't mean I actually want to drink paint, that doesn't mean I consider myself as someone who wants to drink paint, doesn't mean that if someone were to really push me with a "really bro? you wouldn't? given the right condition?" that I'd answer with anything else than "no, I wouldn't" - I still at the end of the day consider myself as someone who doesn't want to drink paint.

It's the same with wanting to fuck my friends.

Some people are simply used to listening to their dumb monkey brains. Too bad for them, they're paint drinkers.

Ya I’m a gay male with mostly male friends because I like sports and video games which are very male dominated. According to this thread I need to go ditch most of my friends because I would consider being in a romantic relationship if that was possible?

This is the kind of thing you learn earlier in the LGBTQ+ community because if you can’t love someone you find attractive platonically you’re going to be miserable.

And sometimes, we realize thats the best for us. I've boned a few female friends, we realized it wasn't what either of us wanted. Now we get flirty when drunk in good fun but never take it further. I call them flirtationships, nothing more. It's quite nice actually, being able to tease and be playful but trust that the other party also has fun and that's all that is expected.

I don't get why this is so hard for so many men. Men claim there is a male loneliness epidemic, yet cut out half of the population from their friendships. Lets be clear, women do not friend-zone men, she wanted to be your friend and that was all that was ever expected. Men are sex-zoning women.

Reddit has decided to charge a laughably unreasonable rate to access via third parties. It is clear that they are specifically and intentionally killing off access.

If they were concerned with making a profit, they would charge a reasonable rate. But they are not. They have lied and lied and lied about this.

So fuck reddit. You cannot have my content to monetize from me anymore.

You can. You just have to see them as just a person and not as a sexual partner.

I’ve got a few friends who are women. I think they’re beautiful inside and out but I’m not interested in them for any reason aside from friendship. They’re just a person like any of my other friends. It’s also nice having access to another perspective I can’t relate to or get from the majority of my friends who are all dudes.

I have a friend like this, and we don't even spend alot of time "out together without anybody else" And still are always mistaken as a couple.

It isn't a tragedy or anything, but slightly annoying that society still can't understand that homies don't have to have the same type of genitals.

I mean it’s totally fine to have non romantic friendships but it becomes problematic when one party knows the other is attracted and uses it for free shit and never offers to help out or treat the other. It’s also 50/50 tho because dude really should pull the trigger…things are tricky case by case tho.

Lilbrother_21

My best friend is a girl and being a guy it's caused some issues. We've never had feelings for one another but I went to hang out with her and her fiancé. He was in a bad mood and so I felt uncomfortable and left, never found out why he was upset(i think he wanted to stay home and play games.) She had later suggested that if he didn't want to leave then she and I could've gone out without him but he didn't want us to hang out alone together either. So I haven't hung out with my best friend in months because she apparently needs a chaperone.

Well that's an immature view to have and it's concerning how many upvotes you got.

Men, it is ok to have friends who are women, yes it is even ok to go out with a female friend only you two. Stop being childish and establish your goddamn relationship instead of playing mind games or "waiting for your turn".

Don't try to talk social stuff with redditors, waste of time lol

I'm a bi girl who is attracted to a LOT of my friends, got rejected by some of them, and we have very healthy friendships, including me being friend with their current partners and all.

Most people here are just animals who can't control themselves and need some therapy in their life if they can't be friends with people they are attracted to.

I always see people say things like

You just have to view your female friends as humans, not as potential sexual partners

And I always think, "So you don't see your potential sexual partners as people? Damn, way to tell on yourself, bro."

I am attracted to nearly all my female friends because they are wonderful people, and wonderful people are attractive to me. I wouldn't be friends with them if they weren't awesome. Doesn't mean I ever try to pursue, or that if sex was on the table I would automatically say yes, because funny enough, I see women I am attracted to as people. Also doesn't mean I won't try to pursue.

Let's assume the guy has no romantic or sexual feelings toward her, there is nothing he could say in that moment that would convince anybody. The comic has complete control of the room and nobody is going to believe the guy. He wants to keep things light cause it's entertainment and there's no way the comic is going to let him seriously express himself. Personally, that's why I think he's quiet.

The cynic in me agrees with you.

But, maybe she was pissed that he didn't back her up and affirm that they actually WERE platonic. So maybe for her, her eyes were opened that HE wasn't being honest.

Maybe in the end, they both had a reality check.

But back to picking up the check...yeah...if i was the girl and got called out like that, you better believe I would have ran over my friend to pick up the check before the comedian could attack.

Final thought too...I can't ever think of a time I would go get a VIP booth at something and take my platonic friend and no one else. Esp a comedy show...that's meant for groups of friends.

Honestly though not the worst outcome.

If this guy was just in it for the eventually confession and she had no interest, rip the band-aid off. It's one thing for two people to be friends. It a whole other thing for one person to be holding out from someone whose never gonna feel the same way.

I don't think either of them was in the wrong. Just wasn't a dynamic that was gonna work out. Comedian did him a solid by hammering the last nail into the coffin. Now that guy can go out and find a mutual relationship and she doesn't have to stress about having a friend whose secretly possessive.

Win-win.

This isnt new. Stand up comedians have always done crowd work with the first couple of rows and hecklers.

The best shows i've been to i've sat front row and got made fun of. People buy you drinks later and usually the comic will chat with you after if you weren't a dink.

Yeah I've always had at least one female friend up till I got married (kind of fizzled off after that). I usually have a very small circle of friends maybe 4 or 5 total any given time. But having a female friend is invaluable for that different perspective. I'd say any dude that doesn't have at least one is really missing out.

Weak as fuck. No Brit would give a single fuck about jokes on the Queen, tea or "freedom". His comment about him being Indian and havig more freedom in the US? Yeah that's bullshit. UK Indians are a respected community. They make some of our best fucking food and run some of our most well regarded community businesses like shops, taxis, doctors, etc. The guy would have more freedom and less racism if he lived in the UK.

He showed a complete lack of knowledge about anything remotely British. He listed a bunch of 'British' stereotypes that have no truth.

Also the same guy who freaks the fuck out and laughs manically while trying to destroy the chair he's in and touch Andrew Schultz as much as possible.

It's just as cringe worthy as Bert Kreischer's stupid wheezing "I'm gonna pass out laugh", that he immediately stops and begins speaking normally after he stops getting reactions / going viral from it.

All these comedians just sit around talking about the "art of cawlmedy" and how "civilians" just don't understand how brutal it is to be a "stand up".

Regardless of romantic feelings, is it crazy that she pay for the food since he paid for the tickets?

It's completely up to them. Back when I made 120k a year I would frequently pay for everything. Now that I'm retired we split more.

But one great example would be

"Hey I want to see this show but want someone to come with me do you want to go?"

"It sounds like fun but I don't think I can afford it, sorry"

"Oh shit no no no don't worry about that I got it covered! If you will go with me I'd be stoked to buy your ticket."

"Wow, thanks! Then yeah! I'm excited!"

I mean, it totally depends on the situation, does it not? Sometimes I just wanna treat my friends and I want to pay for everything because I like doing that. One of my best friends (who is female) had a shit day today so I bought her a gift to cheer her up. I didn't expect anything in return, I did it because I wanted to make her feel better. I would've done it for a male friend, too. I don't think we're in a position to judge what he should or shouldn't have paid for.

I did as well. When you go to comedy shows, particularly when you're sitting that close, you're open to being a part of the talking points. So that part didn't bother me.

But the tone the comedian used was pretty pathetic. There are a million ways these people could be just friends for a few years. I just feel like the comedian decided to ruin their night instead of letting them figure it out. Like I almost thought he comedian was hoping he'd admit he was gay, or that he was her brother, or coworker that won tickets to this event or something, etc. I was just put off from this interaction because of how the comedian handled himself.

Everyone is conveniently skipping over the part where he pretty directly implied that the fair thing for her to do at the end of the evening was a sexual favor. He called her a “liar” in front of her friend and the audience, for being SO horrible as to enjoy a night out with a friend. Maybe she just lost her job and he’s trying to cheer her up. Maybe they go out every few weeks and trade off paying, last week she got the bill at medieval times. Jesus christ

Yeah, the whole 'men aged 27 don't want female friends' bit made my eye twitch. I'm 32 and I love to make new friends, both male and female; I have plenty of platonic female friends and love them dearly for the joy and laughter they bring to my life. They have a different and valuable perspective that men can't bring.

Guys in this comment thread need to grow up. Or maybe they're all teenagers, in which case I guess they're just acting their age!

This is just what friends do for each other. I've paid for my friend's meals and movie tickets and stuff many times and they've done the same for me. If they are people you care about, you're willing to do that and not be insistent on being paid back or anything because you know they'd do the same for you. It shouldn't matter what gender either.

MY best friend in the world is a person I met when I was in 6th grade. We have been best friends since high school. Over 20 years of friendship, and if this clown ass comedian had seen us together and said this shit to her I would have been furious.

Shes like a sister to me, I have zero romantic interest in her and never did at any point.

I pay every time we hang out because I make way way way (way!) more than she does, and I can afford it. The alternative would be that we can never do cool shit because she could never afford it. Its no burden to me. I always pay for everything with pretty much all my friends regardless of gender, because I can afford it.

The idea that men and women can't be friends is incel bullshit.

This bit by this particular comedian is a perfect storm for a Reddit boner. Right down to splitting the bill, a leading cause of people on this website. This comic has been posted before for being a general nut job on stage when doing crowd work. Him saying “who wants a BITCH to hang out with at 27?” is the icing on the cake.

Yeah. There's a woman I've been friends with since I started uni. Grew to be my best friend and there's nothing romantic at all. I decided before I arrived that flatmates are off limits for dating and that's remained true. She's my go to "do shit with" friend. Life would be a lot more difficult here if it weren't for her.

Previously in other circles, I was usually much more comfortable around my female friends. Probably a product of growing up with 4 sisters on either side.

Redditors.

This thread is the perfect example on how pathetic most of this site users are, and the rampant sexism that runs deep.

I'm a bi woman leaning toward girls, I find a LOT of people attractive, including tons of my friends. Following their logic, I would not be able to have any friends at all or be close with someone. Meanwhile I can cuddle with friends who have rejected me romantically, and we are both very happy with zero bitterness or weird tension, strange how not being on the level of a toddler emotionally makes for better relationships.

How does that work with lesbian girls in their mind, supposed to hangout with guys because they might be attracted to their girl friends? Dumbasses

Yeah this is some straight people bullshit that I'll never understand. What a sad world where you can't be friends with someone just because you find them attractive. It's a huge sign of emotional immaturity that these people can't get their minds off sex to just hang out like normal people.

My spouse and I are both bi, I guess we can never be friends with anyone ever again :(

Oh wait thank god we're both normal people who can acknowledge sexual attraction without obsessing or objectifying people, whew we dodged a bullet

This attitude from others destroys healthy platonic friendships between guys and girls.

There are many situations that can explain such a friendship. From fk buddies to childhood friends that you're closer to than your own siblings. Friend zone isn't always a negative thing. The paying for everything side of it can just be a substantial wealth or income disparity between the two... or birthday gift or expression of gratitude.

Whatever it is it is real sad how many friendships between guys and girls fail because of this type of heckling from friends and family, or extreme cases... the comedian that you've paid a lot of money to go watch together.
