      The original comment wasn’t meant to include the person in the picture
      This person replied in a way that made it sound like it did (the “joke”)
      The other people were not amused by this playful rupture of social barriers

        I venture that the other people are - and this is a technical term, so forgive me if I mispronounce it, but - douche canoes

            It’s not the location. He has to be handsome enough in relation to the couple that they humor the intrusion but not too handsome in a way that threatens the bf.

            The backfire that OP is feeling comes from him being aware of his unexpectedly low handsomeness level.
