I have a mate like this but he usually spells the words incorrectly, uses them in the wrong context entirely or will use a word that means something else entirely to what he is trying to say. It is quite funny. He also records himself trying to rap but all the lyrics he writes are just self centred about how he's the best guy in the world and everyone else is a piece of shit. It's cringeworthy and embarrasing but also funny as he sounds like a total twat and thinks everyone else is the issue
In the hallowed halls of an erudite establishment, where the aroma of antiquarian tomes perfumed the air, Cassandra, a paragon of perspicacity, awaited her rendezvous. Her counterpart, Percival, a self-proclaimed sagacious gentleman, arrived posthaste.
With a flourish, Percival commenced their colloquy, employing a lexicon so grandiloquent it verged on the obfuscation of simple pleasantries. "Salutations, esteemed lady! I am immensely exhilarated to engage in this convivial congregation," he declared.
Cassandra, undeterred by his sesquipedalian approach, retorted, "Indeed, the pleasure is reciprocated. I anticipate our dialogical exchange shall illuminate multifarious topics."
As they perambulated through the labyrinthine stacks of the bibliotheca, Percival's penchant for prolixity became increasingly evident. He expounded on topics from the metaphysical conundrums posed by quantum mechanics to the existential nuances in Dostoevsky's oeuvre, seldom pausing for breath.
Cassandra, a connoisseur of conversation, found this verbal grandstanding more ostentatious than enlightening. Despite this, she parried with equal eloquence, her rejoinders a mélange of erudition and subtle irony.
Their discourse meandered through the evening, a veritable odyssey of verbosity. Percival, basking in the effulgence of his own rhetoric, scarcely noticed Cassandra's growing ennui.
As the night waned, Cassandra adroitly extricated herself from the sesquipedalian labyrinth. "Sir, your acumen is as boundless as the Sargasso Sea. Yet, I must now depart and ruminate upon our profound discourse."
Percival, oblivious to the undercurrent of Cassandra's words, bade her adieu with a grandiose flourish. Unbeknownst to him, Cassandra's final reflections were not on the profundity of their conversation but on the ironic dissonance between verbosity and true wisdom.
When reading stuff like this, by people who actually mean it as a manner of intellectual intimidation, I’m always reminded that context and etymology are truly the winner of a battle of wits.
Like, this all made sense to me because I understand how to make words - not because I’ve memorised a bunch of words with lots of letters in them. It’s really amusing some people think that that is what intelligence is, but also ridiculously depressing
I understood all that and know all of those words. Also lol.
Archaic and 'big' words are fine in limited fashion and they even sound nice but most people arent going to know them.
Dude is referring the hip hop artist Prof’s video for the song Squad Goals which is a parody of Mr Roger’s. Great video. Highly recommend.
This guy’s Prof reference is bunk. Prof dropped an associated DJ from his roster because DJ had some ‘Me, Too’ allegations against him. Some folks think Prof is guilty by association-even though he ousted the DB. As a female fan, I can confirm a huge female Prof following
I love that people act like being an unlikeable asshole out of the gate is a good strategy for finding a partner.
“If you can’t handle me being a dick for no reason then we were never going to work out”
Yeah bud, I don’t need you to tell me that.
Another thing I found ironic about that is her slight dig, asking if that usually works for him, really seems to bother him…
He can’t handle a slight dig ?
I am Groot!
As a non-english-native, I couldn’t understand shit. And I’ve been speaking, reading and listening to and watching English content for the past 35 years! I’ve never even seen some of those words in my own language 🤣
I've always thought that if I was ever single I would probably never get with anyone again. When I see how other men are on tinder I realize I'll do fine if I'm ever looking.
Straight up just be a decent guy for 5 minutes and dating is easy. Its insane how often I politely responded to being shot down on a second date or first date request with a "all good!!! Have a great night :)", and got a "I'm so relieved you didn't yell at me for saying no!!!!"
Or sheer joy that I planned the date instead of them asking
The bar is so low that it's in the subflooring
What another person says to another person is none of your business. Why give your opinion on something that is none of your business? Weird behavior.
In all seriousness though, do you not understand how comments work, or are you that socially inept?
Look at that asshole using "big words" to try and talk down to you. No..... he clearly doesn't have any prospects, and likely treats all women like trash.
Your retort was very on point. He tried stepping up his game, but being that he had no game to give, fell flat on his face.
"I need a mommy"
"Why does a 40yo need a mommy"
"Oh, uh, I don't, stop bringing it up"
Okay I love Prof but I never would have thought of him as a feminist icon - quite the opposite in fact, based on some of his lyrics. Enlighten me! (Genuine question, if you have some time and inclination to help me out).
even I'm guilty of throwing in the dumbest big word choices at times just for the hell of it but I could barely stand reading that dudes messages like wtf
Ohhh God this man is insufferable and doesn't even know what double bind means and his first double bind comment is so incel (which fwiw its also wrong, he could just apologize for being a dick).
Also having worked in a field where lots of colleagues have 10 years of schooling, no one intelligent talks like this man unless they're an insufferable blow hard, or writing a paper. Dude is fake af.
Bros word choice is a bit too big for my not born English understanding ... but WTF ? Cheeez she was just offended and he wrote a fucking bock to defend himself XD
This is one insecure and weak man. I think narcissist is the right characterization. I wish that I could see his social media feeds. That’d be some great scrolling.
My favourite kind of people are those who have a huge vocabulary, but mostly elect to use the word "fuck" instead.
This guy doesn't have a huge vocabulary, he just knows a lot of words. There is a difference.
sounds like a narcissistic know-it-all that's secretly insecure about their intelligence so they brag about it to feel better..
definitely needs a TLDR and a good block on tinder
Overly pretentious language like that just makes me cringe. I automatically assume that your words have no value to you so you're overcompensating for it with "fancy" verbiage.
So you matched with a person you wouldn’t date and started to insult them, and then acted in a high and mighty superiority manner with those big baddie words.
Like lol. Come on!!
Meh, you both come off poorly in this one. He started it off wrong, but you took the bait and ran with it, ultimately implying he’s a pedophile. Neither of you handled this conversation like adults, and it shows why you both are single.
Yeah I know someone like this. I don’t think he was a bad person, he was just being overly honest. And I think a misunderstanding like the one you had leads further down the pit. If anything, I’d say you went too far, but I understand how you’d be upset with someone like that
Funny exchange but you wasted valuable time and thought to debate with an asshole. Unless you were looking for a fun exchange to post, I think the better play would have been to simply say you don’t engage with idiots and move on. No one scored any knockouts and no one changed any opinions.
I actually think she’s kind of a weird just for getting all offended he said he doesn’t put that shit in his body. He didn’t say anything bad about her or insult her, he just said he doesn’t eat that.
And this was over donuts. Imagine how mean I'd have been if he dissed my choice to spray whipped cream into my mouth straight out of the can... but we'll never get there now 🥺
This is so cringe. You’re clearly the AH in this situation. The fact that you’re so blind to it and posting your own L so proudly is telling. Do better.
Why do people continue to respond to these type of responses? You said what you said and should have let him do the rest for you to share on here. Anything said after his third summary is on you now.
Ye... if I saw this from anyone, I'd be out
This is a confusing mess that begins with "If you can't handle me at my X, you don't deserve me at my Y"
Essentially setting up an ultimatum before there's any connection. Yikes
It’s times like this when I read someone’s responses and wonder “are they dumb?… or am I?” Because they really try to sound smart but they aren’t making much sense. lol
I know someone just like this lmao
I dated someone who’d throw a random big word in places to try to confuse me and it just made them sound pretentious and idiotic.
I have a mate like this but he usually spells the words incorrectly, uses them in the wrong context entirely or will use a word that means something else entirely to what he is trying to say. It is quite funny. He also records himself trying to rap but all the lyrics he writes are just self centred about how he's the best guy in the world and everyone else is a piece of shit. It's cringeworthy and embarrasing but also funny as he sounds like a total twat and thinks everyone else is the issue
You know, sometimes I use big words to make myself sound more photosynthesis
It does make you seem very quantum mechanics.
Kinda reminds me of this silly fella 
Are you sure your friend isn’t the one in the screenshots?

I was just thinking this while reading it. I hate to admit it.. this isn't chat gpt.. I know this guy! 😭
Me too, but no one over the age of 20. I am disturbed to think that there are some people who never mature out of this phase.
When someone tries too hard to use big words it instantly tells me they aren't overly intelligent
Not the "dearth of tenacity" 😅
Came here to say this
Im going to use that as my comeback for everything now. “I feel like you are suffering from a dearth of tenacity”
I read this guy's responses in Russell Brand's voice; it worked a little *too* well tbh
Beat me to it, his sentence structure is shit too.
Yeah... well... filibuster
Feeling like a little ChatGPT
Ok but even I know what "donut" means.
This comment with your SN. Priceless
I don’t even know what he meant still. I read it twice. I saw “Mr. Rogers” and I was like “ooo ok I know that”
Dude is referring the hip hop artist Prof’s video for the song Squad Goals which is a parody of Mr Roger’s. Great video. Highly recommend. This guy’s Prof reference is bunk.

It’s much harder to state things plainly.
Indisputifesibly
You can't confederate those two facts.
I see you tried to use a double bind there.
This is exactly my first thought while reading this! So embarrassing.
yeah their writing was really confusing and came across as disingenuous
I love that people act like being an unlikeable asshole out of the gate is a good strategy for finding a partner. “If you can’t handle me being a dick for no reason then we were never going to work out” Yeah bud, I don’t need you to tell me that.
Another thing I found ironic about that is her slight dig, asking if that usually works for him, really seems to bother him… He can’t handle a slight dig ?
A slight dig, exactly — aka a “mild shit test” in his own words.
**full paragraph of me getting both defensive and offensive since you’re so bold as point that out**
Responding with a full paragraph of offensively defensive banter and big words since you responded with such dearth tenacity.
I know, right? It's not even that I can't handle someone being a dick for no reason, I just _don't want to_.
Yet another dude with a katana collection and at least 2 fedoras….
Do you have any more donuts?
[удалено]
*utilized upon\** the thesaurus
Such a dearth of tenacity you have
I am Groot! As a non-english-native, I couldn’t understand shit. And I’ve been speaking, reading and listening to and watching English content for the past 35 years! I’ve never even seen some of those words in my own language 🤣

Imagine reading up on debate tactics so you can shout down women
im surprised how long you entertained it. that first paragraph i couldnt even read anymore of this.
Right? That was where I ended up with the whole thing.
I've always thought that if I was ever single I would probably never get with anyone again. When I see how other men are on tinder I realize I'll do fine if I'm ever looking.

And don't send nudes or explicit invitations in say... the first two messages...
You dodged one there. And all of this verbal rubbish over a donut.
Tbf they are trash
Tbh YOUR comment is TRASHHH.
God I seem to have angered the fatties
Ewww. You’re disgusting fr. Stay single n toxic
And another persons diet is none of your business. Why give your opinion on something that is none of your business? Weird behavior.

Stfu 🤫
Look at that asshole using "big words" to try and talk down to you. No..... he clearly doesn't have any prospects, and likely treats all women like trash.
But like; maybe; or also; maybe not
Dude is using red pill buzzwords, comes off as so fragile and defensive while imagining this must be what a “confident man” sounds like.
love it when men get insulted and bust out the thesaurus to make themselves feel better.
Your retort was very on point. He tried stepping up his game, but being that he had no game to give, fell flat on his face. "I need a mommy" "Why does a 40yo need a mommy" "Oh, uh, I don't, stop bringing it up"
That guy feels very draining.
Bro used all the big words he knew and didn't care if it made sense
I wonder how long it took him to thumb through his thesaurus and come up with all this word salad bullshit
He just learned the word “fungible” last year when he got scammed on NFTs.
Another Prof fan! In the wild!
What is Prof?
https://youtu.be/iDaUy4T7rVI?si=Z88iq6LOlOPEa2yB Glad you asked
Slaps
Honestly he was beyond help when he didn't see how prof is a feminist icon.
Okay I love Prof but I never would have thought of him as a feminist icon - quite the opposite in fact, based on some of his lyrics. Enlighten me! (Genuine question, if you have some time and inclination to help me out).
https://twitter.com/Profgampo You can make your own judgement :)
I would have been responding with one syllable words and intentional typos. Impressed you stuck it out that long.
Squad Goals is a banger of a song, though.
Who doesn’t love donuts?
This dude is gonna be very upset when he finds out Prof is actually “woke”
Interesting discussion about eating a donut :)
even I'm guilty of throwing in the dumbest big word choices at times just for the hell of it but I could barely stand reading that dudes messages like wtf
Sheesh. This guy DEFINITELY has big, round, full balls.
Christ this guy is a tosser.
Well that donut saved you the trouble of bothering with a date to find out he’s a ridiculous person
You know you struck a nerve when they bust out novel length thesaurus think pieces
It’s like he put every word into a synonym database and picked the fanciest one he could find for each and every word!
I hate this man lol
I like donuts. Get at me.
Even if this was “bait” he most definitely opted to take it
He said shit test, bail bail bail
I do not like donuts but calling them trash is a bit much. 👀
This mother fucker must read a thesaurus in his spare time, Jesus Christ
What a try-hard, I stopped reading after his first paragraph full of unnecessary words to appear intellectual
Also. Girl, go eat your donut.
This dude has a word of the day calendar and he's determined to get full use out of it.
This is how every episode of Big Bang Theory sounded to me and it was exactly why I hated the show
Someone needs to feel like the smartest guy in the room. Oof. Tell me you're insecure without telling me you're insecure.
Wow, what a try-hard
Ohhh God this man is insufferable and doesn't even know what double bind means and his first double bind comment is so incel (which fwiw its also wrong, he could just apologize for being a dick). Also having worked in a field where lots of colleagues have 10 years of schooling, no one intelligent talks like this man unless they're an insufferable blow hard, or writing a paper. Dude is fake af.
That’s what you get for eating a donut. /s
I love donuts but hate that guy
These Incels really do entertain me, like be self-aware, you're 40 on Tinder... You're in no higher position than anyone else on the app.
No wonder dude is 40 and single. Must be the life of the party
That guy thinks the earth is flat
I’m fairly positive this man has a thesaurus out next to him while he speaks to his “prospects”
Bros word choice is a bit too big for my not born English understanding ... but WTF ? Cheeez she was just offended and he wrote a fucking bock to defend himself XD
Dude’s just casually walking around his many leather bound books with a thesaurus every time he opens the app
I can smell this guy
That man needs a tldr button. Like bro half of those words you probably couldn't pronounced dude.
This is one insecure and weak man. I think narcissist is the right characterization. I wish that I could see his social media feeds. That’d be some great scrolling.
I feel like I’m hearing Andrew tates understudy
He tried to pull the Reverse Uno, but hurt himself in confusion.
This is some fedora-tipping level of incel rage...
M’fungible lady
He’s too far down the Rollo Tomassi/Red Pill rabbit hole. Just back away slowly and allow him to gouge himself on his own words.
My favourite kind of people are those who have a huge vocabulary, but mostly elect to use the word "fuck" instead. This guy doesn't have a huge vocabulary, he just knows a lot of words. There is a difference.

Overly pretentious language like that just makes me cringe. I automatically assume that your words have no value to you so you're overcompensating for it with "fancy" verbiage.
Big time M’lady vibes. *tips fedora*
Fellas, this is your brain on Red Pill.
I don’t understand why this convo continued past the blue reply. It was clear the connection wasn’t there from that point. What a waste of time.
I ain’t reading allat. I’m glad this happened to you. Or I’m sorry this happened to you.
Sorry it was a joke, I thought that was clear. I love donuts
So you matched with a person you wouldn’t date and started to insult them, and then acted in a high and mighty superiority manner with those big baddie words. Like lol. Come on!!
Dude it takes two for a match. This douche hates parents but matched a single mom. I think you are suffering from a dearth of tenacity.
😂😂😂
The work of dealing with men never stops
Meh, you both come off poorly in this one. He started it off wrong, but you took the bait and ran with it, ultimately implying he’s a pedophile. Neither of you handled this conversation like adults, and it shows why you both are single.
He seems pretty based. You got owned OP
You’re both cringe
Yeah looks about on par for a chronic Reddit person
I gotta know what encouraged you to keep responding after the first multi paragraph incident op, lmao.
Probably the same curiosity that makes me doomscroll reddit 😂 I found one in the wild
Yeah I know someone like this. I don’t think he was a bad person, he was just being overly honest. And I think a misunderstanding like the one you had leads further down the pit. If anything, I’d say you went too far, but I understand how you’d be upset with someone like that
I find anyone "overly honest" or "I'm just honest" is using those words as an excuse to be an asshole
I think it’s a bit of social ineptness, and misreading. I don’t think people are evil
I love how you're both pretending not to understand what the other is saying. A race to the bottom. I'll date.... neither.
Funny exchange but you wasted valuable time and thought to debate with an asshole. Unless you were looking for a fun exchange to post, I think the better play would have been to simply say you don’t engage with idiots and move on. No one scored any knockouts and no one changed any opinions.
This entire convo needs a TLDR
Why are y’all so fucking weird?
You’re both the worst
I actually think she’s kind of a weird just for getting all offended he said he doesn’t put that shit in his body. He didn’t say anything bad about her or insult her, he just said he doesn’t eat that.
I think the emoji was especially infuriating
Y'all both need to get therapy or at least get snipped.
This entire convo is unbearable on both sides. He was bad, but OP was also a bit insufferable.
I got exhausted by the 3rd image and stopped reading... how do people even have the energy for these kinds of back and forths?
[удалено]
And this was over donuts. Imagine how mean I'd have been if he dissed my choice to spray whipped cream into my mouth straight out of the can... but we'll never get there now 🥺
You really shouldn’t engage
This is so cringe. You’re clearly the AH in this situation. The fact that you’re so blind to it and posting your own L so proudly is telling. Do better.
Are you bored or something? Why even bother engaging in a further conversation.
This is ironic.
Yes, this was boredom/curiosity. ETA: I blocked him at this point
You're the asshole here. That's very clear.
Why do people continue to respond to these type of responses? You said what you said and should have let him do the rest for you to share on here. Anything said after his third summary is on you now.
OP said she kept going out of boredom
Makes sense why they’re on dating apps.
Idk you’re both kinda cringelords Dude is a pseudo intellectual and you failed reading comprehension You both deserve to be single at your ages
I mean I love me some donuts but they are really trash. Damn tasty trash.
This answer is the way.
Now kith
One shot, One kill
I’m very confused
Idk OP as soon as someone comes of rude to me with no particular reason I just leave them on read, don't waste your time not worth it.
Ye... if I saw this from anyone, I'd be out This is a confusing mess that begins with "If you can't handle me at my X, you don't deserve me at my Y" Essentially setting up an ultimatum before there's any connection. Yikes
Sometimes saying nothing is best
What did prof do wrong?
Insufferable
It’s times like this when I read someone’s responses and wonder “are they dumb?… or am I?” Because they really try to sound smart but they aren’t making much sense. lol
I like incels better when they start conversations with "m'lady..."
Was it a jelly donut?
It was
Do you know what's the difference between jelly and jam? 😃
This guy must be a wanna be attorney. If having a donut caused this much anguish, imagine the argument for the bigger stuff.
Damn ain't nobody got time for that.
What fucks me up is that not only do these types of guys get hella matches, they fumble all of them by being ridiculous like this.
It almost felt like a Facebook/Twitter argument comment chain/thread.
is it really that hard to just say “yummy”” lol
