    Use chapstick

    Read a book in public

    Not go to gym

    Play certain more “feminine” games

    Those off the top of my head. I live in a nation of backwards idiots, so there for sure are more

      My first exposure to Big Bang Theory was the scene where they made fun of one of their friends for “wearing lip gloss” and refusing to call it chapstick. It was so weird and toxic and I assumed it was a gay panic joke before finding out it was the nerd show I was avoiding. Fucking terrible show.

        Chapstick and lip gloss are different where I’m at. Chapstick is a thick paste stick like beeswax consistancy, and Lip Gloss is a roller tip with liquid inside.

        One goes on matte and one is Glossy

          They’re different in the US where the show was written and the target audience is. Sitcoms just have terrible, toxic people in them because it’s easier to write conflicts. It’s Always Sunny is aware of that and takes the idea to the extreme without making the MCs likable. BBT is just lazy writing with lazy “nerd jokes”

              BBT has terrible “jokes”. Nerd jokes are fine, but this is lazy writing and the “nerd humor” is the only thing that sets this show apart from other sitcoms.

                Maybe, although I don’t know any sitcoms that are decent, they typlcally have pretty lame jokes, that aren’t funny outside of the “situation”

      Use chapstick

      How I get around that: Wait until my girl uses hers, then kiss her.

      It’s a bit of a running meme between us.

        I would assume the US, and probably somewhere rural. I’m an hour outside a major CA city and it’s like 70% functionally illiterate racists. They are not fans of books.
