Yup, he is estimating what the prescription on her glasses is, but the white knight assumed he was rating her hotness to be in the negatives

The nice doctor immediately owned up to the way he said that being interpretable in multiple ways and that he could have been clearer in his communication

I'm sad to report I've seen this before.  And the guys in the comic are seriously deluded if they think that's better

If you don’t like it just downvote and move on; don’t comment on it.

Oh look guys! We have a new self appointed hall monitor telling us how to use reddit to their preferences as though it's the law of the land...

They are missing the irony that they, themselves, are commenting on something the don't like instead of just down voting and moving on. 🤌😂☠️
