I think it just looks worse because Mel isnt witty enough for a sharp comeback.

However social media has been abuzz with two videos showing the exact same situation where the gender roles were reveres.

One with Maria Sharapova (more watered down) and one with a weathergirl named Nuela something, Nuelas ws worse because when the guy gently turned her down she kind of was a bit rude,

and she was literally applauded for being brave in asking a guy out on a weather forecast.
