Sure, but “dumb and childish” to me conveys “dumb as in goofy” rather than “dumb as in a bag of rocks,” and that is why I responded with disagreement related to such. The operative word here is really “childish,” tbh. They go on to say that they are not good at letting loose, but also clarify that they meant “low intelligence.” It is unclear if they perceive goofy fun as a sign of low intelligence in and of itself.
In any case, arguing the semantics of the phrase “dumb and childish” doesn’t meet my definition of fun lol. Like I said “different strokes,” people can like different things and I think that is wonderful tbh.
OP here again. I don’t. I just don’t get at least some forms of it. I have been known to do some good pranks, but most other things people classify as “letting loose” aren’t my jam. I’m more of a books and tea person.
Originally I was thinking of people I’ve known that literally made me feel like I was talking to a child. I don’t know what that is, exactly, but low intelligence is a decent guess. Oh well, I’ll try different wording if it ever comes up again.
A stick up the ass isn’t the exact same thing as low intelligence or whatever this turnoff is, but then again I’m not good at let-loose stupid fun, so maybe I’m biased.
Either way, more left for me, as they say, as long as everyone’s having a good consensual time.
The opposite for me tbh, someone who can’t let loose and have some stupid fun every so often isn’t my bag.
There’s a difference between goofy and dumb. Goofy is fun, I’m all over that. Actually dumb is exhausting and awkward, it’s just not fun

That makes sense and that’s fair

Yeah, not my best wording.

Hear hear, different strokes.
I would agree unless the looseness and stupidity is caused by alcohol. In that case is a huge red flag.
I’m still in the middle there, sometimes is fine but if it’s the only way or all the time it’s a problem.
