Really? What brings you to that conclusion?

Never mind, I don't want to know. You would suck at telling me. Or at least I am guessing you would.

It's clear you do not know me personally. Kindly refrain from claiming to understand how I would conduct myself in such private circumstances.

You really suck at it. That's my guess.
