Why is this guy so fucking dumb?
I mean, these aren't "social cues" so much as they are obvious statements of intent.
He needs to stop being a piece of shit and tell the girls that he is asexual/ace or that he is gay, or that he is incapable of seeing other people as real (a form of sociopathy).
If he can read the room enough to haggle (which he has done), then he knows what they are saying, and is purposely ignoring it.
Since he CAN do this, he needs to explain to the people he is trusting his fucking LIFE to, that he is not sexual or romantic towards humans or girls.
Why?
Because nobody actually enjoys watching stupid people do the same stupid thing in the exact same way over and over.
If people did like that, "Reality TV" would be the only form of entertainment to exist.
