80/80

Every time I see someone famous, like a Youtuber or an actor/actress and take a photo with them I ALWAYS ask if I can put my arm around them.

My friend says it's a "beta cuck" thing to do and that it shows that I have "low self confidence".

I don't get it. I don't know these people. I just want a photo. I don't know how much they like their personal space or if they want my sweaty nerd hands on their arm.

When I'm taking photos with friends I don't ask, because I know my friends and know their boundaries. But I want to respect the boundaries of people who I do not know.

It's never about me, it's always about them. I always ask "Do you mind if I put my arm around you" not "Can I put my arm around you".

I don't think it's weird, considering you ask permission first. Maybe your friend is the one who has the low self-confidence since he even knows about that type of crap.

Totally unrelated, since you brought up photos... you just reminded me of every single girl on my Facebook who thinks "oh, I'm having my picture taken-- let me ALWAYS put my hand on my hip!" Lol

Your reasoning makes sense. Your friend is a jerk.

Also I would like to add that I wanted to make this topic earlier but GameFAQs was running real slow on mobile so I posted it on /b/ instead and they all called me a beta but I doubt any of them have ever touched a girl in their life.

that seems weird to me. I mean I'm not really a "Take pictures with celebrities" type but anyone who doesn't let you put their arm around them is obviously too stuck up to be worth taking a picture with IMO

Preferring some stranger not enter your personal space is in no way stuck up. Some people just don't like being touched

Just grab your friend by the genitals for pictures to show him you have the confidence and not the betas.

The fact that you think someone from YouTube is famous is hilarious.

Also, if someone actually uttered the phrase "beta cuck" out loud in person, you should unfriend them.

How would you describe a person who is known about by many people primarily through the person's usage of YouTube?

I said "famous" because I met a famous person this weekend and didn't feel like using two descriptive words in my post to describe the people I take pictures with.
