New to reddit, so not sure if I’m following the sidebar rules correctly but here goes.

Regarding the reddit linked below, I’m thinking that asking for the chairs was actually this group of girl’s “game” or an IOI.

My thinking... OP describes Bob as someone with decent SMV. Certainly, within the realm attracting an HB7-9.

Bob’s alpha tendency(as seen in his response) likely shines through his body language while sitting at the bar.

Women like to approach indirectly such as asking for a chair. I bet they were hoping he would use the chair question as a conversation starter.

And finally, the biggest piece of evidence, they labeled him an “asshole” afterwards. I’ve only seen this when they were interested and feel rejected.

Thoughts?
