Just a dude, I took it as a lighthearted jab, telling her that she shouldn’t be worrying about what he says to other women, he was complimenting her and she kinda shifted the focus onto an accusation that he’s a womanizer. Call it the fuckboy in me, but this looks more like banter than controlling.
Por que no los dos? It's bantering, but it's also completely waving off her (accurate) assessment that he's disingenuous, and in a pretty patronizing way. Might be the non fuckboy in me, but if it only takes you two comments after "hello" to shoot off a patronizing joke, it'd be a no from me.
Using a canned line is disingenuous if you're using the same one over and over for different women. Being genuine would be, at a minimum, offering her a sentiment that isn't copy-pasted.
Edit: funny pickup lines are the exception, but they gotta actually be clever.
Being genuine means being honest and sincere, per this dictionary:
If people or emotions are genuine, they are honest and sincere
Can't be honest and sincere if you're copying and pasting the same line to everyone. You seem like you're violently...agreeing with the other person? I don't see where your point of contention lies.
Being genuine includes honesty, but it's not an exact synonym. It implies offering something of yourself, something that isn't fake or copied or loaded with an expectation. A little bit of the real you.
That’s a beautiful definition, but I couldn’t find it in any dictionaries. I think you might mean invested? Like he didn’t put any effort into it? Can you explain why funny ones are an exception? Because that edit makes me feel it might just be disingenuous if you don’t like it.
