Not sad like he’s emotionally sad but his actions are sad if that makes sense

I 18f have a friend 18m and we were hanging out with some others and he’s moving to his university accommodation tomorrow.

He was talking about everything he had to buy for it and when it got to alcohol he was naming stuff he never drinks. Fruity ciders and mixed flavoured WKD well on top go the big bottle of vod (this man’s go to is usually something devoid of anything sweet) I ask why he bought that then.

He mentioned he can tolerate them it’s just not his favourite and the reasoning is he knows his entire flat is women and most of his block is women like genuinely 85% or something like that. And freshers events aren’t for a few days after everyone moves in and basically to sum up his reasoning he thinks drinking is a great way to get to know these girls and so he’s bringing woman drinks to share.

I point out that’s really sad, does he think he’s that bad at socialising that he needs to bribe people to be his friend? Because I was just saying it as it is he’s going to come across really needy doing that imo. But people where like wow why are you being like that for no reason and were basically telling me off for speaking my mind.
