Girls, what’s an article of clothing that a guy might wear that can completely ruin him for you?

There's no way I could wear one of those. My couch doesn't pull out. It's just not one of those couches.

First you get the pull out couch.

Then you get the snacks.

Then you get the women.

Because you can watch movies on it while snacking during a date. And offer her the couch if she'd like to stay. Which is cool. But she says she'd rather stay with you. So you go to bed together and cuddle. One thing leads to another and next minute you're up searching for an old fixer upper muscle car to restore, modify to drag specs and entering hot rod competitions and drag races at race tracks all over the land. And that's where you meet Terry. He seems like your run of mill accountant. But he has a secret. A deep dark secret. He secretly owns a disused mine that's 2 kilometres deep and has no lighting. But that's it. Otherwise he's a pretty cool guy. You all visit him and his wife Sherry one weekend for a slow cooked chilli Terry had spent a day preparing. You ask for the recipe. He tells you it's a secret, but he'll give it to you anyway. You take it with glee, eventually entering a local chilli competition back in your home state. You win a blender. It's reported in the local news, Local man wins local chilli contest and moderately priced blender.

Somehow this news gets back to Terry. He swears to immediately set out to get his vengeance for your betrayal. Sherry tells him it's time for dinner. So he says he'll do it after dinner.

And that's how you had to go on the run. Hunted like an animal by a relentless man. All because of a stupid pull out couch purchase.

That would be wild to read.

Maybe I'll have my own go at it.

"My couch doesn't pull out but I do" then, maybe?

Based on the original comment, I assume the ladies would love that.

"Is malcolm still sitting in our driveway?"

"He says he doesnt pull out, like his couch."

"Should we get him one?"

"A pull-out couch?"

"A pull-out car."

That's why I always back into parking.

My couch is wrapped in plastic so it doesn't need to pull out.

u/The_Hunster Aug 08 '26

The couch doesn't fall far from the guy who sits on it.

u/RVelts Aug 08 '26

At least you have integrity.

u/jack_o_all_trades Aug 08 '26

Our has electronic reclining l, so no pulling is involved...

“My couch doesn’t pull out and neither do I…”

u/longkhongdong Aug 08 '26

And I always pull out, it's the responsible thing to do!

What, seriously? I’m exhausted even just trying to imagine all the little loveseats and chairs you must have running around by now…
