Thumbs up to the dude that recognizes that PUAs are gross and that women aren’t objects to be possessed or acquired!
Except we don’t know that she’s uptight. We just know that something she saw made her uncomfortable, but not why.
WHY EVEN HAVE AN E! WITHOUT A SOUP
Ignore him. He wants to be EXACTLY that guy. He doesn’t deserve the attention.
