So it's all just... sexy goofy sarcasm? Oh, crap. I've been doing that for a llllooooong, long time without realising it might be interpreted as flirting.
That honestly sounds like a fun time! Would probably mean I'd become completely desensitised to it in a sexy way, but I do love me some playful sarcasm!
Glad you've managed to find someone with a compatible dynamic in these aspects, it's lovely having a partner with whom you can laugh at the Absurd!
Well, tbf, this'd work on me as well should a flame of the womanly persuasion present it to me (alongside explicit stipulations that "I do, indeed, want you for the sex, Mr. Bond," signed in triplicate)
If I were in that situation, I think an acceptable retort would be to hold up the drumstick of chicken I am munching on, and dramatically say 'Behold, a man!' then take a bite and totally ignore the random infatnilizing philosophy try hard as I go back to reading.
Maybe also, after a 30 to 60 second pause, nonchalantly ask if he happens to have any hemlock sauce, just to try to get a rise out of him.
“The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato.”

"Hey, there, hunka'-hunka', wanna go somewhere more private so I can show you my Ancient Greeks?😏😏"
Full disclosure, I'm a barely-social straight guy, I wouldn't know flirting if it cracked my teeth with a piece of wood.

I'm married and straight.
It doesn't get better.

Yup, that's how I got my SO. It turns out we have a similar, raunchy sense of humor.

I'm a lesbian and I've seen guys bag each other flirting on that level

You know, some people would consider that flirting. Also, wear a mouthguard, I guess.

For the right person, I'd splurge on the dental work!=))

Could have been a compliment. You are not an intellectual yet, but you wanna educate yourself. Nothing wrong with that.
EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 1y
This is exactly my initial interpretation too.

You're so close to being in on the joke

Incidentally, best way to deal with Epicureans! Smile awkwardly and exeunt whenever possible!

How could I judge if Plato is relevant or not without reading it?
xia@lemmy.sdf.org · 5 pts · 1y
Sounds like a philosophical question.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
learning about Plato from what books he wrote. is like learning about the world from watching shadows within a cave
