Good question, and one that gets asked by alot of chicks.
Its what I call an "AFC's cry for help".
Its his way of saying "look see other chicks dig me, will you?" Like a retards version of social proofing himself mixed with sh!t thats been bombarded to him since birth about how chicks want sensitiveness and emo talks about past heart breaks and how he really does care bout mum and women in general, please pity me cause I really am nice just misunderstood etc etc.
In a nutshell.
He doesnt know any better, just let it go.
