B9, do you think that that person was deliberately making an absurd argument?
maybe. the tavern that i eat at has undergone a radical change in design, and there are many teenagers and young adults that frequent the place now.
on the night of the dialogue i posted, i was there to get dinner, and i was trying to work something out as i sat at the table eating it (the dinner), and i was involved with my papers.
there were many groups of young adults there, and a number of people started paying attention to me, and they began behaving in a way so as to attract my attention.
at one instance, 2 young men grabbed each others bottom cheeks, and they pretended that they were going to kiss whilst trying to attract my attention. i was aware of what they were doing, but i was not paying attention to them, but eventually i looked at them and shook my head.
one of the men pretended he was friendly, and asked to sit at my table and i said "no", and he said he just wanted to ask me a few questions and so i agreed.
the conversational snippet i posted last night was not the whole dialogue.
there was antecedent conversation that led to him ask me why i was not attracted to men.
i expressed revulsion on a couple of occasions when he was talking, and he was majorly offended.
since i had finished dinner, i simply left.
