I don't know what this pic of Ron Perlman has to do with anything. Maybe he's one of the good ones!

Aw jeez, I never noticed that. Ron writes like an actual scholar but he's got resting bulldog face sometimes.

Or as I put it to the younger guys at work, “she’s probably thinking ‘he’s nice, I bet my mum/gran would like him’ “

My biological father did that shit every time we went to a restaurant while I was growing up. Then he'd usually try to get them to flirt with me, starting from when I was like 8. I still hate going to restaurants with table service decades later

Middle-aged dude here. Sometimes, rarely, you get a genuine "look". Especially when dressed stylish for the night! I hate the fake shit though, from either sex.

Hate that shit in customer service of any kind. I always treated the customer like someone a friend referred to me. "I know this guy Shalafi. He can help you with that." Crazy how customers treat you like a genuine human when you treat them as such.
