The misogyny, competitiveness and covetousness of these guys is mind-boggling. This fella's desire to be hotter than "cis" girls and women and to put us down is one of the reasons I don't want any TIMs in female spaces regardless of their sexual orientation. The gay ones might not want to screw us, but they still will look at us up and down as if we are just pieces of meat and appraise us with their invasive, entitled "male gaze."

Courtney was just being polite. He realizes that and hence the anger. She should have advised him to buy a toupe.

Ah this makes sense. It's similar to if a chubby/fat woman looks good in something and a slender woman asks her the question in the video. Like "wow, I'm surprised you actually look pretty."

  1. I don't believe any woman has ever said that to him
  2. Me, getting the same awkward but still complementary comment: "Oh thank you! You look really nice too."

These men are psychotic.

I can believe someone has said that, but in the same manner you might act impressed at how fast a little kid can run in their new shoes. The comment is made to be nice, not to be sincere.

Maybe. I can definitely see that interpretation. But I just don't spend much time thinking of the passive aggressive interpretations of compliments. If it was insincere, then I hope my being nice back makes them feel worse about themselves. If they were being both nice and sincere, then nothing is lost.

Either way this man's reaction is over the top, and comes across as deranged.
