I knew this guy who dressed and acted like this total hippie, but at one time or another he tried to sleep with basically every girl we both knew. He talked himself up as this huge feminist, but he was always trying to get laid, and he usually did it in a somewhat predatory (or at least opportunistic) manner, like if they were blackout drunk or had just been through a breakup or something. Instead of, y'know, making his interest known in an up front manner like asking them on a date or whatever, he would present himself as this total nonthreatening buddy or shoulder to cry on, and then try to sleep with them at their lowest. It always struck me as shady and a bit incongruous with his carefully cultivated outward image, cliche as that was anyway.
So, yeah, he was a dick. Probably still is somewhere.
lyrics
You've made an art form out of trying to fuck the girls you know
when they're drunk or sad or feeling extra vulnerable
It's not the most impressive behavior you know
but it's just what I'd expect from your fraternity bros
But not you with your hippie appearance
Got your hippie clothes but no hippie conscience
'Cause loving others means you know the difference
between manipulation and consensual sex
You're just an asshole dressed like a slightly smaller asshole
You're just an asshole dressed like a dick
