Actually on second glance I think the setting is a train or subway. (there are people sitting in a line around them, and they're holding a pole like in the middle of public transit vehicles.)
The guy is the green shirt, named Rando, is a pole dancer. He and the old man do a joint show. The people in the background are the patrons of the club. The cheesy compliments are part of the act, which is why the girl liked it. It's what she came for.
Probably. I kept reading and reading again trying to understand the context and was only thinking it was some kind of lift in some mountains range. Or that they were going to heaven after dying.
I mean, yes. A super weird thing to say to a stranger.
Buuutā¦there are just some people with the kind ofāI believe the kids are calling it ārizzāāto get away with and win people over with things no one should ever say. Iām sure itās a mixture of looks, confidence, the elusive ācharm,ā and also, yes, probably plenty of people taking offense still.
But, there are definitely people with the right mix of all that, plus a kindness about their aura/perception that can and definitely do say this kind of shit.
One of my buddies, for example. Heās over 50. But whatever it is, when weāre working, he does say shit like this to women passing on the street and the reaction is not at all unlike the one in the comic. I do not understand it. But ive seen it firsthand.
Dude is a chain smoker and is missing I think more teeth than he has left. I would love to possess this kind of natural ease people receive you withāhell, Iād settle for not being unapproachable. But hey, the cards youāre dealt, right?
I expect the delivery comes off as he isn't actually trying/wanting to sleep with any of them; it's nonthreatening, so people may be more receptive to his comments.
There's a certain disarming when it's from an old and harmless looking person; they aren't a physical threat and it's likely just a playful compliment with no intention to follow through. Because of this, it can go from creepy from a younger person, to cute/flattering from an older one. It's all about the context
The old ladies at the retirement home looked real innocent before they started grabbing my ass 20 years ago...not gonna lie the old British lady who would play with her pearl necklace after grabbing my ass was kinda adorable.
Yeah I had an alcoholic, overweight, uncle in a leg brace who was like this. Heād try to āhelpā me get girls by suggesting I do things like this.
āHey, look, that girl is cute, go ask all her friends to dance with you at once, then you can increase your odds because she thinks she has competitionā
Yeah bro no. Theyāre clearly having a nice girls night out and I donāt want to ruin it
āJust say they look like donuts because they are all curves and sugarā
ā¦. Yeah thatās a double hard no
sigh āyou just gotta have confidence. Watch this.ā
Then heād wobble over, joke around, make some catcally comments on their looks, and theyād all be blushing and laughing before heading out with him to the dance floor. It was fucking wild.
Nah, weāre independent contractors and we work outside (in production). Iām not saying he canāt ever land in shit, but heās not crossing any lines or anything. Itās just a thing that definitely makes a lot of people uncomfortable. If these people were to ever go to the production manager/producer/whoever, they wouldnāt really have much to say. āHe said āhey there darlingā when I walked by!ā I get that there are definitely legitimate complaints im regards to this kind of behavior, im just saying thereās not really a leg to stand on. Heās not coming across as creepy or overt, heās just saying hi and being sweet. Still not cool for 99.9999% of people.

It works better if you read her flushed cheeks as anger at being told that by a creepy old man on the transit.
This comic just further promotes the false idea that all women love being complimented by random strangers. Just leave her alone. It's gross.

That works until the one time that it doesn't, and then HR sets up a meeting and you never see him again.

If I was at a bar or a singles event or something, this line would get a laugh out of me and I'd probably let the guy chat me up a bit.
