The guy is complimenting the girl with the most cliché line and the girl asks how many girls he has said this to before so the guy accepts the accusation bcoz it's true and tells her to concentrate and play along bcoz this is her turn to hear it.

That's it.

I still don't understand the concentrate part

u/horaciofdz 23h ago

Concentrate is a synonym of focus.

u/veilofmaya1234 23h ago

Ooo that makes me want a bowl of synonym toast crunch!

Yet is he able to detect why children adore the flavor of Synonym Toast Crunch?

u/TrueGamer3kk 15h ago

Why need focus tho?

ETA: it's a reasonable question given I'm not the only one who has the question

Also I did understand, but was not sure I did, so asked to check my understanding was correct

As a way of saying “focus on the fact im saying it to you, anything past that is a distraction and not important right now”

Is he right by saying that? Who knows

"concentrate one what I am saying, but ignore any subtext or context"

16

u/slowamigo 22h ago

Yeah I don't get that part either. Seems a bit passive aggressive. Maybe the meme is just dumb

u/KillThePuffins 20h ago

It's not passive aggressive he's just trying to be humorously cocky about it. Like he could have just as easily done something like post some gif of a hypnotizing pendant or something. "Concentrate" - like ok ok but don't worry about the past focus on this opportunity now

1

u/slowamigo 20h ago

I mean the text would've sounded a lot nicer without the suggestion to "concentrate" like how a schoolteacher would say. He even uses a period

2

u/KillThePuffins 20h ago

He wasn't going for nice

u/axl3ros3 21h ago

It is dumb

u/Jimanji333 21h ago

Focus on the two of them, not any other girls he may have a past with.

3

u/sokka2d 22h ago

Maybe if you tried to focus for a bit you’d get it. 

5

u/axl3ros3 22h ago

I get it

I just wasn't sure I got it and wanted to double check

u/clslogic 21h ago

Concentrate.

Because he could be an ass and ask her, "How many men have you asked to cum in you, pull your hair, called daddy, took birth control/plan B for, sent nudes, etc etc etc". Dating is a dance, and as you age you're well aware your partner has had other dance partners. So you just concentrate on the fact those partners didn't work out for whatever reason. The important thing, is figuring out if your new partner can match your rhythm, teach you a new jig, or will step all over your feet.
