I mean... It's not like he could recognize them by phone number.

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 71 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Maybe they wrote the numbers next to what they ordered?

But those aren't numbers, it's Japanese. You are just reading Japanese!

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 19 points 1 month ago

He said he doesn't even see numbers

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Sadly, imgur geoblocks the UK so I can’t see anything.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 55 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's Cypher telling Neo he doesn't even see numbers. Just redhead, blonde, etc.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The alt text we needed all along

Was he alluding to jerking it over code?

Didn’t think of it at the time but considering the context…

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yes, Cypher was watching porn.

It’s a gif from The Matrix where Cypher says to Neo “I don’t even see the numbers anymore. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.”

That's either really wholesome or really smooth and I can't decide which.

All of the above and the confidence is seductive

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 123 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Maybe he just wants to be friends with them all! Most straight guys don't have enough genuine friends who are women.

Or

Better to hang out as a group first, get to know each other in a different context, and maybe safer too, once fucking decisions are made.

Or

Maybe he doesn't know if they each know the others gave him their numbers and wants to eliminate the drama of them finding out separately.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 84 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or, he doesn't remember which number is who.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 63 points 1 month ago (3 children)

OR

Dude is trying to create a life long memory of the time he had a 4 way.

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 month ago (3 children)

5 way, unless he's just watching the girls. Which, like, if that's his thing and they're into it, works too!

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Someone has to hold the camera, pics or it didnt happen.

Or maybe he's gay and is just looking to have a girl time.

Turns out he’s gay and knows they’ll be a fun group to roll with.

The man saw an opportunity and took it!

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 70 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That seems like a foreseeable outcome. How many other chances are you going to have for a fivesome? Shoot your shot, dude.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 67 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe he just legit wants to see what they have planned.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 72 points 1 month ago (5 children)

When I was single I loved hanging out with groups and basically deferring the decision of who actually try to get with, after I got to know them a bit better.

If the group all want me to end up with the same woman, and they're all wingmanning that one friend, maybe because she's more shy, then it'd be great to hang out with them as a group and see if we're compatible.

If they all individually want to hook up with me, great, let's see them all in a comfortable and fun setting to see who I get along with best.

And even if it turns out I wouldn't want to hook up with any of them, if they're fun people it would be fun to hang out and see what else is going on. It's actually a lot easier to talk to women when you're already surrounded by women. And maybe you could introduce your own friend who would get along better with one or more of them.

[–] brezel@piefed.social 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

how would he have known who's phone number belongs to whom?

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I think the idea was he'd pick one when they paid, and just grab the number from that receipt

[–] adhdsergio@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (6 children)

To be fair, would he really know which number belonged with each number? haha

Can't blame a guy for taking a shot. What's the worst that could happen? They all get disgusted and blow him off? He's no worse off than he was.

But then later that night, the one who is the secret super freak, excited that the guy actually proposed a 4 way, calls him for a mind-blowing booty call.

Hey, do it for the experience. You only live once. Use protection.

Move of a champion.

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

This was the only real option. Any other choice other than not even responding could have offended.
