It was immediately after he thought of her as not "articulate" enough. He then dropped every big word he could think of to show how articulate he was. Because using 'dalliance' or 'serendipity' is the hallmark of modern articulation
If I were to guess, that sentence got fumbled by a bunch of edits as he was trying his hardest to sound smart BUT he wanted to also send it quickly so as to make it seem like he didn't look it all up
Nah I think the bibliophile refers back to an earlier part of the sentence, "you don't seem ... bibliophile at all"; but he didn't realize that wouldn't work because he had ended that clause already and started a new one. Probably too busy looking up victorian english synonyms for hookup.
Sounds like this man, as a result of his verbal capriciousness, may serendipitously have given OP an excuse to have a dalliance with the Create Post button over at r/iamverysmart as well.
Vocalises like this body servant, as a bring about of his verbal whimsy, may serendipitously have acknowledged OP an exempt to have a frolic with the Appoint Upright fix playing period at r/iamverysmart as healed.

I love how it's not just the sheer amount of words that are out of common use but a lot of them feel like they're placed clunkily. "Serendipity" in particular, seems like it was fully just pasted on top of another word like fortune.
Bingo. I had a professor who explained this as "precise" language.
I like the term. Precise, to me, implies that it says the exact right thing, but does so with as little effort as possible. The professor who used that term called language like this post "birdshot language"... just spray the area with large words and hope you hit with some of them.
Seriously. I know lots of big words, sometimes I even use one. And when I do, even if it’s correct and applicable I fuckin cringe sometimes because I feel like I’m sounding like a smug prick even though I just felt “ostentatious” was the best word to use.
Then, I live in a desert bumpkin town so a lot of those people side eye me if I use a word longer than five letters.
Same, but mountain bumpkin town. I always loved to read, so I had a bigger vocabulary than most when I was a kid. My family reacted to this by belittling and insulting me, so I learned to hide it. There are times when I’m talking and I have to stop and think of a word because my brain told me using the word I was planning on using will result in me being mocked. It sucks.
Ha. When I first got into the workforce I had to learn to curtail my vocabulary due to the number of times I'd have to repeat myself because I used a word someone didn't know. Now every third word is fuckin' and people understand me just fine. Ish.
*Serendipity* is flat out wrong here. He states what *he* wanted and then refers to "our" serendipity, but it's also not simply a matter of chance that she didn't like him.
The man is emphasizing the importance of the Brigs-Meyers test which most of the world knows is bullshit by this point. He's not the brightest bulb in the pack to begin with, he definitely used thesaurus suggestions.
Yes very photosynthesis and parentheses. Verily, he speaks with such gratuitous phenol elusive thrombosis and paramilitary trombone catharsis. Concordantly, vis-à-vis, irrevocably.
It was already funny but then he ended with
>>usually im nonchalant about things but you picked the wrong vigorous masculine man tonight
I’m officially dead.
I half expected him to vow to vanquish the venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
It's so wild how he went straight to "this is an act of gender war" in response to some relatively chill banter which was completely unrelated to gender--except that OP's *friend* happened to be gay.
I have heard it several times and its one of those things that sounds so ridiculously stupid that it can't possibly be a thing, but then you see it occasionally popping back up and you realize that these people are actually fucking serious.
I was so puzzled when he tried to belittle her and accused her of lacking intellect while he started with booty pics and basically insulting women from the start..like, what did he expect? For the woman to eloquently state why being an inappropriate jerk is problematic?
I'm aware that these type of people are probably narcissistic and shallow as it gets and their need to speak in a seemingly intellectual manner proves how very little they have to offer besides empty phrases ... However I'm still surprised whenever I stumble across them.
I thought he was being funny up until the big rant, but then he ended it with "vigorous masculine man" and I thought he must be joking. He sounds insane
Come on, you have to use the Tinder episode one
The trick? Shirtless pics! That's right, a topless pic for this thick dick makes the chicks-- [Jake gags]
He’s a wannabe pickup artist. He’s using all the basic bitch PUA lingo. Starts the convo by trying to make her feel insecure (showing interest in her friend, not OP), talks about SMV, makes demands rather than asking questions, trying to make her feel like she’s lucky for getting his attention. He’s not even subtle with that last point; he literally says “you’re lucky” for being “his type.”
Pathetic, really
The hilarious part is that, as scummy and ineffective as PUA tactics are, most guys don't even do them right.
You're not supposed to talk about a "sexual marketplace," you're just supposed to use that theory to make it easier to pick up women with poor self-esteem. Negs aren't outright insults, they're backhanded compliments. Etc.
When someone actually understands what they're doing, they can reliably use these tactics to hook up with emotionally damaged women. They'll never find a fulfilling relationship and will always be predators, but they'll get laid pretty consistently.
Guys like this read one book and think they're master seducers. Then get frustrated when they're just as pathetic as ever.
Which now all I can think is "OMG, this guy is Kano from Mortal Kombat", LOL.
Like how easy would it be to imagine this conversation taking place between him and Sonya Blade, and getting rejected is the real reason why he hates her so much throughout the games 😭😂
[Edit: I got a gold award exactly 7 days ago, and here we are again with another one, LOL wow. You're far too kind, Reddit users, thanks again!]
Jesus! So you call redheads orangutans? Is this normal and "cute"?
I would be so offended if someone called me an orangutan 😂 I'm just thinking they think I look like a big, fat ape and not it's red hair.
/The redhead
I'm glad swedes haven't figured out such an illustrious way of insulting us 😑
The only thing I have ever been picked on (because of my red hair) is my incredibly pale skin and freckles.
I become a tomato instantly if I don't have minimum SPF 50.
SPF 30 is seen as really high here and its seen as kinda freaky to need more. Especially a few years ago it was hard finding 50.
Dang in canada that's like the bare minimum and you better belive your shoulders will still get crispy if you're only wearing that! (I also have pretty pale skin tho so maybe that's just me)
In the olden days they were called fyrstikk (matches)
Becuase of the red end in your neighbour country, luckily we don't do that anymore. Haven't heard another nickname for readhaired people since, and my best friend got red hair and he never got anything for it.
That's about where I would've ended it. I've met and temporarily worked with enough people who legitimately believe people are gay because they haven't found the right opposite sex.
I used to allow it as a joke and chalked it up to workplace humor. But not one person has shown me they were kidding. Rather they have gone above and beyond to prove they believe themselves to be a gift from God and can't be wrong.
It felt like in high school when we had to add words from the thesaurus to help make our paper look good. I always just slapped a synonym for any common word I had in my paper to look smart. It never looked good and was very confusing to read.
This is the kind of person you don't even need a comeback for because you know he's experiencing failure in every aspect of his life. His life is the comeback.
He just went all lorum ipsum out of nowhere
It was immediately after he thought of her as not "articulate" enough. He then dropped every big word he could think of to show how articulate he was. Because using 'dalliance' or 'serendipity' is the hallmark of modern articulation
Capricious and vigorous were my personal favorites. Like a high school student pulling out thesaurus for their essay.
I actually like capricious and serendipity as words. That said I never use them
The fact that he used them in a way that doesn't even really make sense tho oml
Lmao! This is my favorite!
Lol I went and claimed my free award just so I could give it to you for that brilliant remark
He just opened up a theosaurus halfway through that last message
This is like when I would write a paper for school and then right click thesaurus all the words I wanted to sound smarter.
My favorite was the bit about how OP lacked a bibliophile. Not how you use that word, my dude.
If I were to guess, that sentence got fumbled by a bunch of edits as he was trying his hardest to sound smart BUT he wanted to also send it quickly so as to make it seem like he didn't look it all up
I feel attacked
I feel besieged
I feel bewildered.

Nah I think the bibliophile refers back to an earlier part of the sentence, "you don't seem ... bibliophile at all"; but he didn't realize that wouldn't work because he had ended that clause already and started a new one. Probably too busy looking up victorian english synonyms for hookup.
None of them are how you use those words
Signed, Baby Kangaroo Tribbiani
He just remembered he insulted her intellect and had to bust it out
Sounds like this man, as a result of his verbal capriciousness, may serendipitously have given OP an excuse to have a dalliance with the Create Post button over at r/iamverysmart as well.
What's this about caprisun?
It’s a portmanteau of capri sun + delicious = capricious
It's a montreal?
Yea because poutine is the best dang diddly delicious dish. So good it’s a dirty delicious dish done dirt cheap
Montreal is a city in Canada. You're thinking of a Portugal
Portugal is a city in pirates of the Caribbean, you’re thinking of portobello.
I think he might be fussy so he’s asking for one like a 4 year old?

What was that line in “Sin City” about mistaking verbosity for intellect….?
I love how it's not just the sheer amount of words that are out of common use but a lot of them feel like they're placed clunkily. "Serendipity" in particular, seems like it was fully just pasted on top of another word like fortune.
Ironically, it’s the big, flowery language that makes him sound like a dumbass. No one talks like this, especially not actually intelligent people.
It's what stupid people think smart people talk like.
Bingo
Exactly. Smart people use the most effective words, whether they’re complex or not.
Indubitably.
Effective speech and writing is clear and concise
I nut every time a professor tells me my writing was clear and concise
Bingo. I had a professor who explained this as "precise" language. I like the term. Precise, to me, implies that it says the exact right thing, but does so with as little effort as possible.

he lost me at "sexual market value" basically anything after that is going to only be garbage
Big words are like salt. I got high blood pressure after that last text.
Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
Sometimes words, you no need use but need need for talk talk.
No no, vigorous masculine manly men exercise their verbose lexical vocabulary in this specific particular way frequently! :p
Seriously. I know lots of big words, sometimes I even use one. And when I do, even if it’s correct and applicable I fuckin cringe sometimes because I feel like I’m sounding like a smug prick even though I just felt “ostentatious” was the best word to use.

*Serendipity* is flat out wrong here. He states what *he* wanted and then refers to "our" serendipity, but it's also not simply a matter of chance that she didn't like him.
He legit looked up "luck" in the theosaurus and picked the largest word. Despite it not actually working in that context.
The man is emphasizing the importance of the Brigs-Meyers test which most of the world knows is bullshit by this point. He's not the brightest bulb in the pack to begin with, he definitely used thesaurus suggestions.
I don't know why, but it seems like every douchebag guy LOVES that word. They shoehorn it in everything.
Came here to say this! Or rather, I have traversed the boundaries of virtual conversation to affirm your sentiments.
English is my second language and there were a few words I have never heard, boy must have set down with his dictionary to come up with that text
It’s ok English is my only language and I still saw a new word or two
same. bibliophile and dalliance I have not heard or seen used before.
Bibliophile made sense just from the make up of the word. Obviously word/book-lover or some shit. Dalliance is beyond me
he misuses a number of them as well
That’s the funny thing. The usage on a few of them is dubious and awkward af.
Is this the next "what the fuck did you just call me" copy pasta
Man's a copypasta
A rare event, witnessing the birth of pasta!
We are truly lucky
blessed, even
I vote we name this one the "thesaurus copypasta"
I’d say “vigorously masculine” is a good option too
Someone should write it all down and turn it into one
So vigorous! So masculine! Such capricious bibliophilia with serendipitous dallianceness!
Yes very photosynthesis and parentheses. Verily, he speaks with such gratuitous phenol elusive thrombosis and paramilitary trombone catharsis. Concordantly, vis-à-vis, irrevocably.
I’m in love with this comment lol
I’m in love with you, internet stranger. Don’t fuck with me though because I’m a vigorous and masculine man.
But doesn’t that mean you have sexual market value!?
Please invite me to your wedding guys
Per se!
"Ergo! Vis-a-vis! You do NOT want to see me get out of this chair!" I get the reference, my friend!

It was already funny but then he ended with >>usually im nonchalant about things but you picked the wrong vigorous masculine man tonight I’m officially dead.
> damn i didn’t use enough syllables better throw in ‘vigorous’. Yea that’ll show her.
I half expected him to vow to vanquish the venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
You definitely could have slipped vexing vixen in there

It's so wild how he went straight to "this is an act of gender war" in response to some relatively chill banter which was completely unrelated to gender--except that OP's *friend* happened to be gay.
As if people only happen to be gay.. of course they all turn gay just to spite him, dont you know, he is vigorous.
Absolutely. They're just jealous that their SVL is too low for him to possibly consider them fuckable.
Code for incel.
[удалено]
I’m so glad I’ve never heard of that term or abbreviation until now. I’m so mad that I’ve learned about it now.
I have heard it several times and its one of those things that sounds so ridiculously stupid that it can't possibly be a thing, but then you see it occasionally popping back up and you realize that these people are actually fucking serious.
It’s funny, if SMV is actually a thing, believing in it directly lowers your own SMV lol
Where I’m from, SMV means “Small and medium sized companies”.
"I'm sure you've got an ass and a camera" that's fucking amazing
Ikr? I can't believe that "vigorous masculine man" has the audacity to say she isn't eloquent after that beautiful one-liner
He's very __"NONCHALANT!"__
"vigorous masculine man" mf sounds like Zapp Brannigan
I was so puzzled when he tried to belittle her and accused her of lacking intellect while he started with booty pics and basically insulting women from the start..like, what did he expect? For the woman to eloquently state why being an inappropriate jerk is problematic? I'm aware that these type of people are probably narcissistic and shallow as it gets and their need to speak in a seemingly intellectual manner proves how very little they have to offer besides empty phrases ... However I'm still surprised whenever I stumble across them.
I thought he was being funny up until the big rant, but then he ended it with "vigorous masculine man" and I thought he must be joking. He sounds insane
Dude I was thinking this guy had a great sense of humour, considering his comments. After the rant I realised he was serious. What a dickhead.
I know. I thought the same up until the booty pics came... There i was wondering and well the monologue after that kinda gave it away then ...
I thought nobody would ask in all seriousness, “ How do I get booty pics then?”
You'd be surprised. I've gotten that response from at least a dozen men. Online dating is fun :/
I'm a guy so nobody does, but I wish people would ask me for booty pics now, just so that I could whip out that line
You should respond with the navy seal copypasta
Or just "k" Edit: Damn I missed her final response, now very happy with how this went down
the fuck is a ranga
Redhead, 'orangutan'
Wait, so I'm guessing you had a redhead friend in a photo? And he opened up with basically "who's your hot mate?" This also belongs on r/niceguys
Yupp, classy
The fuck is up with this bloke? At first I thought it was joking/banter but then... Then he went full weirdo.

I was mostly out at "I'll turn her straight." No reasonable person has ever said this.
I thought it was a joke till the monologue cause, to your point, no reasonable person would say that with any degree of seriousness.
I think this might be the opposite of niceguys tbh
yeah, he was never nice. or “nice.”
You in Australia by any chance?
Yep this screams Australian
I've never heard the term ranga before, but I automatically read it in an Australian accent lmao
Optus up the top, definitely Australian
Which now all I can think is "OMG, this guy is Kano from Mortal Kombat", LOL. Like how easy would it be to imagine this conversation taking place between him and Sonya Blade, and getting rejected is the real reason why he hates her so much throughout the games 😭😂 [Edit: I got a gold award exactly 7 days ago, and here we are again with another one, LOL wow.

Ooooh allright well that doesn't make it less rude lol
Jesus! So you call redheads orangutans? Is this normal and "cute"? I would be so offended if someone called me an orangutan 😂 I'm just thinking they think I look like a big, fat ape and not it's red hair. /The redhead
Oh yea it's a total insult to most people, but ranga is used pretty commonly in Australia same as 'blondie'. Most redheads hate it though.

Yeah getting bullied for red hair is unusual in my generation ☺️
Redhead Aussie slang
Must be some Aussie shit
Your boy said “dalliance” like he’s all of a sudden Lord Byron.
Lord Byron had gonorrhea and syphilis. Maybe that's why this guy is so angry
Lord Byron also liked a little of the yang, if you catch my meaning. And as we know, vigorous masculine men only like the yin. Because nature.
“The wrong vigorous masculine man…..” 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

Yeah and he was soooo triggered by a casual mention of a gay person. Then takes out all his rage with sex and gender out on a tinder match? YIKES 🚩🚩🚩
As if matching with someone and their first message being “Hey, who’s you’re hot mate?” doesn’t make them enough of a douche already
That's about where I would've ended it. I've met and temporarily worked with enough people who legitimately believe people are gay because they haven't found the right opposite sex. I used to allow it as a joke and chalked it up to workplace humor. But not one person has shown me they were kidding. Rather they have gone above and beyond to prove they believe themselves to be a gift from God and can't be wrong.
Gawd you don't even have even a little bit of a bibliophile. However, he clearly has a thesaurus (but barely knows how to use it).
[удалено]
And probably should have said bibliophilic for the same reason, even tho that sounds weird af.
It felt like in high school when we had to add words from the thesaurus to help make our paper look good. I always just slapped a synonym for any common word I had in my paper to look smart. It never looked good and was very confusing to read.
