So it's all just... sexy goofy sarcasm? Oh, crap. I've been doing that for a llllooooong, long time without realising it might be interpreted as flirting.
That honestly sounds like a fun time! Would probably mean I'd become completely desensitised to it in a sexy way, but I do love me some playful sarcasm!
Glad you've managed to find someone with a compatible dynamic in these aspects, it's lovely having a partner with whom you can laugh at the Absurd!
Well, tbf, this'd work on me as well should a flame of the womanly persuasion present it to me (alongside explicit stipulations that "I do, indeed, want you for the sex, Mr. Bond," signed in triplicate)
If I were in that situation, I think an acceptable retort would be to hold up the drumstick of chicken I am munching on, and dramatically say 'Behold, a man!' then take a bite and totally ignore the random infatnilizing philosophy try hard as I go back to reading.
Maybe also, after a 30 to 60 second pause, nonchalantly ask if he happens to have any hemlock sauce, just to try to get a rise out of him.

The man
Gotta love a good broad st line pic. Sadly those cars are a lot smokier these days.
Fake: anon left the house
Gay: anon is flirting with men
"Hey, there, hunka'-hunka', wanna go somewhere more private so I can show you my Ancient Greeks?😏😏"
Full disclosure, I'm a barely-social straight guy, I wouldn't know flirting if it cracked my teeth with a piece of wood.
I'm married and straight.
It doesn't get better.

Yup, that's how I got my SO. It turns out we have a similar, raunchy sense of humor.

I'm a lesbian and I've seen guys bag each other flirting on that level

You know, some people would consider that flirting. Also, wear a mouthguard, I guess.
For the right person, I'd splurge on the dental work!=))
Could have been a compliment. You are not an intellectual yet, but you wanna educate yourself. Nothing wrong with that.
This is exactly my initial interpretation too.
Must have run into a random Epicurean
*nervously upvotes out of fear of looking stupid*
You're so close to being in on the joke
Incidentally, best way to deal with Epicureans! Smile awkwardly and exeunt whenever possible!
Fake: somebody spoke to anon
Gay: anon daydreams about a man in the shower
We all daydream about men
How could I judge if Plato is relevant or not without reading it?
Sounds like a philosophical question.
learning about Plato from what books he wrote. is like learning about the world from watching shadows within a cave

Obviously encountered a believer in metaphysical immanence on the subway
Must be a Matt Neal fan
I mean even his pupil was like nah
