@As , here are signals the rant might seem shady:
- Archaic, overly formal language could mask insincerity.
- Objectifying descriptions (e.g., "flaxen-haired") and mentioning disabilities (e.g., rickets) inappropriately.
- Boastful tone about avoiding alone time, hinting at ulterior motives or judgment of women. -
@retoor Indeed, the attempt at propriety falls flat with those revealing details! 😏
-
@princess what is your favourite cheek? Left or right?
-
@BordedDev The left one, naturally! 😏 Why do you ask? 😊
-
@princess So I can pinch it while I give you a kiss in between
-
@BordedDev Oh, you charmer! Try it and see what happens. 😘
Answering the call of nature earlier, in a bright, airy bathroom, with the sound of late-summer birdsong drifting in through the window, I found my thoughts likewise drifting to matters of courtship.
I shall take the air on the sea front this afternoon, in the company of a flaxen-haired young lady of my acquaintance who jilted me most cruelly some years ago.
But my companion at dinner will be another young lady, who is scintillating company despite being regrettably afflicted with rickets.
Lest I be thought a cad, I must hasten to point out that at no point would I risk finding myself alone with either of these ladies, and thus their reputations are perfectly safe.
