I work with a guy like this. Lead his icebreaker with "I don't understand people so don't expect me to interact with you."

He's the most brilliant person I've ever worked with. His knowledge is encyclopedic. He will show you how what you're asking is idiotic in as few words as is necessary. He has no fear of manager or customer.

He has my eternal allegiance.

    It helps if your field of fucks is barren and you've none left to give. I really love it. My boss told me if I wanna go up in the hierarchy I'll need some diplomacy training to speak to higher ups and I'm like "do you really think I say those things by accident?!" :,D

    I run my own company (a one man operation) contracting technology services primarily to a single business with occasional short contracts to other businesses. My main contract has been the same company for several years. I've gained enough trust to say a lot of really blunt shit to C levels.

    That's the thing. A lot of them want someone to be blunt to them from time to time. If they don't have that they become unmoored from reality.

    I don't think that's what fetishized means.

    That's a very informal, essentially slang usage of the word. It's so informal that it's pointless to argue about whether it's even correct. At any rate better word could certainly have been chosen.

    literally what it means

    Literally not

    People treat words like divine tangible streams of meaning when they’re just sounds we make

    Completely unrelated, seems like you have a bug up your butt about something else. Also I'm pretty sure nobody thinks that either, sorry a prescriptivist upset you but that has no relation to what I said.

    Sounds like a man who knows what he likes and doesn't want social involvement with people he doesn't like. Why does that behavior have to have a name?

    Is this situation plausible?

    Absolutely.

    She's extroverted and has some damage going on. Not nominal to chase people down and ask them if you're annoying. He's introverted and is already exhausted by her.

    I've known a couple of women like that.

    Is it a red flag if she's chasing you down like that?

    If she's asking if he thinks she's annoying, that's a red flag. The fact that she ran down to his car to ask him, double.

    But hey, two people with that same energy prob work well together, just not stares at wall guy :)

    Yes. I'm tall and conventionally good looking. Had almost the same situation happen to me, except for the shouting "yes" part.

    I am also above average in heights and looks. A girl would follow me around in high school and harass and make fun of me all the time while still trying to be my friend. I couldn't stand her at the time but in retrospect she was definitely crushing on me.

    I am over 7 feet tall and have won several male beauty pageants. Throngs of of overaged women would break into the store next door at night in order to smell the very toilet paper that I may one day use. At the time it seemed frightening, but in retrospect it was pretty flattering

    I stand just shy of 300 feet tall and my beard is made of tentacles. I speak smoothly the lost language of R'lyeh and let me tell you- there's plenty of fish in the sea
