Sounds like a man who knows what he likes and doesn't want social involvement with people he doesn't like. Why does that behavior have to have a name?

Autism/Chad horseshoe theory
Is this situation plausible?
Yes. I'm tall and conventionally good looking. Had almost the same situation happen to me, except for the shouting "yes" part.
I am also above average in heights and looks. A girl would follow me around in high school and harass and make fun of me all the time while still trying to be my friend. I couldn't stand her at the time but in retrospect she was definitely crushing on me.
I don't tknow the coworker, but OP is obviously GAY.
OP is the coworker following the guy around. And they thought we wouldn’t notice smh my head
Totally in love and heartbroken. Bmh my heart too.
he's GAY.
HE'S LITERALLY GAY
Or just not into that particular girl
I work with a guy like this. Lead his icebreaker with "I don't understand people so don't expect me to interact with you."
He's the most brilliant person I've ever worked with. His knowledge is encyclopedic. He will show you how what you're asking is idiotic in as few words as is necessary. He has no fear of manager or customer.
He has my eternal allegiance.

Oh to be such a brave man
It helps if your field of fucks is barren and you've none left to give. I really love it. My boss told me if I wanna go up in the hierarchy I'll need some diplomacy training to speak to higher ups and I'm like "do you really think I say those things by accident?!" :,D
I would follow that man into hell.
They are both autistic.
I love how autism has become this fetishized thing that you slap onto all people operating outside of expected parameters.
Everything is an autistic trait when you go looking for autistic traits.
That’s exactly what I’d expect an autistic person to say.
I don't think that's what fetishized means.
It is. It refers to things being held in special regard in social arrangements, to an religious extent. The autism discourse, with all the memes and such, does more often than not include a cult-like adherence to beliefs around certain behaviours that anyone could display, shifting focus away from the developmental aspects of autism which are very much real and to diagnostic markers that are less than well defined but are used in clinical settings like: trouble at work/school/kindergarten [Y/N], and certain things the hiveminds of the world latch onto. There I think of people regarding dislike of the "big" light as being an indicator for autism(???).

Makes one wonder if vampires are autistic.
Autistim is the new 'touched by god'.

Wouldn't quite call this "gigachad" behavior, but it's good and healthy to not jump on literally anyone who offers, even if you aren't particularly interested. I suspect anon sees this as "gigachad" because they're steeped in manosphere/incel ideology (unsurprising for a 4chan user).
Definitely autistic, possibly including the woman.
Everyone in this green text is autistic.
Everyone in ~~this~~ green text is autistic
Everyone ~~in this green text~~ is autistic
Everyone on lemmy is autistic.
In my experience whether or not autistic folks understand individuals they're much better at being civil. Particularly on anonymous platforms with minimal consequences like right hmya. The antithesis of course being those who only treat others with respect when there'd be consequences to not do so.
PS As a matter of record I hate you all.

Yeah I don't associate being rude to someone that is awkwardly expressing an interest in you, cool, or alpha, or whatever the fuck gigachad is, it's just a dick move, that will make that person expressing interest lose confidence to ask out the next person, which is a problem in today's society more than ever with online dating kind of poisoning the well.
There is a nice way to say no, and autism is no excuse for not being nice there.
We don't know whether the guy already tried saying 'no' in a nice way, though. Sometimes people just don't get the hint, especially if one or both people in the interaction are neurodiverse.

First line reminds me of office space
I've been in this literal exact situation. If it hadn't happened 20 years ago I'd be worried this anon is talking about me
As an autistic woman who's usually attracted to others on the spectrum, I am worried anon is talking about me
Sometimes i tell my girlfriend stories about weird people in my life and she's like: yeah, she was into your autistic ass. Nonono, she was doing this and that... Oh honey.
Same, I'm such a dumb fuck! Nothing Gigachad about that.
Gigachads don’t shout, do they?
Or they only shout. No in between
I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. YOUR DAD WAS A GREAT GUY!!!
