Hey, do it for the experience. You only live once. Use protection.

The man saw an opportunity and took it!

Maybe he just wants to be friends with them all! Most straight guys don't have enough genuine friends who are women.

Or

Better to hang out as a group first, get to know each other in a different context, and maybe safer too, once fucking decisions are made.

Or

Maybe he doesn't know if they each know the others gave him their numbers and wants to eliminate the drama of them finding out separately.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 25 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Or maybe he's gay and is just looking to have a girl time.

The gay part and also this

And on top of all that, a serial killer looking for more ears for xer ear wall.

OR

Dude is trying to create a life long memory of the time he had a 4 way.

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

5 way, unless he's just watching the girls. Which, like, if that's his thing and they're into it, works too!

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Someone has to hold the camera, pics or it didnt happen.

[–] Mountainaire@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

What do you think selfie sticks are for?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 4 hours ago

I thought selfie sticks existed to announce to everybody in the vicinity that you're a pillock.

I must record my trip to Disneyland from an altitude of 7 ft because that's totally what everyone wants.

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

so you're telling me ... there is a chance?

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 74 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Or, he doesn't remember which number is who.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 61 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe he just legit wants to see what they have planned.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

When I was single I loved hanging out with groups and basically deferring the decision of who actually try to get with, after I got to know them a bit better.

If the group all want me to end up with the same woman, and they're all wingmanning that one friend, maybe because she's more shy, then it'd be great to hang out with them as a group and see if we're compatible.

If they all individually want to hook up with me, great, let's see them all in a comfortable and fun setting to see who I get along with best.

And even if it turns out I wouldn't want to hook up with any of them, if they're fun people it would be fun to hang out and see what else is going on. It's actually a lot easier to talk to women when you're already surrounded by women. And maybe you could introduce your own friend who would get along better with one or more of them.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

You get it man :)

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Hmm...true, if only everyone thought like that.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I moved to new cities like 7 or 8 times in my teens and 20's (before smartphones, and for the most part before social media at all). Each move was a crash course in getting plugged into a new social circle, so I learned to be pretty quick at making new friends and understanding the personality types and social dynamics that I liked to be around.

At some point I learned to just say "yes" to new social situations, and see how they played out. It didn't always work out for the best, but my openness to new people was generally a good thing to have in my life.

[–] JustEnoughDucks@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 hours ago

I think the problem for most people is not the "saying yes" part, but the breaking into any social circle at all to begin with.

Groups are generally pretty tight knit and not accepting of outsiders in most environments and after early to mid 20's, even if you are just trying to make friends, unless someone is the 1 in 100 very charismatic people that everyone instantly vibes with like one of my friends is.

I made friends pretty easily before I turned 25 or so, now in order to make friends with other guys (I moved countries), I have to either be into watching sports, cars, or getting blackout drunk.

[–] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 259 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I mean... It's not like he could recognize them by phone number.

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 58 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe they wrote the numbers next to what they ordered?

[–] houndeyes@toast.ooo 255 points 21 hours ago (18 children)
[–] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 32 points 18 hours ago

Perfect. Retired gifs.

[–] cowboydan@quokk.au 14 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

But those aren't numbers, it's Japanese. You are just reading Japanese!

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 17 points 15 hours ago

He said he doesn't even see numbers

That seems like a foreseeable outcome. How many other chances are you going to have for a fivesome? Shoot your shot, dude.

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 177 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That's either really wholesome or really smooth and I can't decide which.

All of the above and the confidence is seductive

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 113 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

Turns out he’s gay and knows they’ll be a fun group to roll with.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 5 points 15 hours ago

My gay friends used to call these their Fag Hags. It always made me think of those witches stirring the cauldron...double bubble toil and trouble

Well, did the group go out later?
