Charlie? Is that you?
No, but he looks like a guy I know. Dude is one of the nicest, sweetest people you'd ever want to meet. And I thought, "What if this guy saw the photo and comments?" He might be a typical neckbeard creeper, or he might just be an ugly dude who hit the web.

Seriously. What the hell crawled up Null's ass tonight?

Nothing. Had this guy not looked like my friend I probably wouldn't have noticed anything and made comments as well. I think the realization will help me in the future.

Can someone explain "neckbeard" to me?
A neckbeard is a beard where the majority of the unshorn growth is on the neck, as opposed to the jaw, chin, or cheeks. It's been a common feature for a long time for the overweight to "disguise" their neck fat/extra chin. Back in the 80s and 90s, nerdy, geeky stereotypes were usually clean shaven. But somewhere along the line, things changed. Now the stereotype for the socially awkward american has changed from this:




To this:

To illustrate Dave's point, picture #6 above (the one after the waifu) bears a resemblance to the type of beard I recall NorthRanger having in a few of the pics he posted on here.
Yeah, I'm all for making fun of people for things they do or say. The way they look, though? Maybe not so much. And by that I mean not so much any more. I'm just as guilty of that as anyone. But I'm trying real hard to be the Shepherd.

It's not the neckbeard on the outside that counts, it's the neckbeard on the inside.

 
Just a little trivia. The thin guy with the trilby and waifu pillow was a prominent Austrian anime blogger who took the pillow with him to troll people.

They seemed to like those. Really?
True gender equality will never be a achieved until women are making an equal number of terrible, cringeworthy advances on men. So long as the roles of chaser and chased continue to fall along the same gender lines (along with the key and lock conquest metaphor), equality can only be artificially obtained through an understood quid pro quo.

Also not every lady is smart about who she lets into her hoohah. Brazen audacity seems to work as often as anything else, and if you cast a wide enough net, you are more likely to catch a fish no matter the bait.
 
Well, some of those were kinda funny/original. Most were pretty much lame pick up lines, but hey...It's so easy to send a pick up line over Tinder to 100 girls at a time, who knows, if one says "yes", hey, easier than going out and getting shot down 99 times first :p (I suppose that's the reasoning anyway)
 
When I was single, I usually gave "clever" a chance, though not necessarily letting them in my pants. "Clever", in my book, could get you farther than just looks, but "clever" can't be crass, creepy or demeaning. There's a fine line, but I liked spending time with guys who didn't cross it.
