The business with the fake blood and the fridge suggests that Lynn was only half-listening when Aaron tried describing life on campus. The business with the back-slapping reminds us that she doesn't like how men confuse her by behaving like men.
Seriously. Guys simply don't act the way guys do in this strip, and they don't talk the way guys do in this strip. I'm surprised we never saw two guys going to the men's room together while on a double date. It's like Lynn has never observed men at all.
My guess is that Lynn thinks that fake blood means that it leaves no stains, as opposed to being a heavily dyed liquid that leaves stains and just happens not to be blood.
I notice another commonality here: Mike being the same excrement judge (wordplay intended) his mother, father and sisters are. Most of his post-secondary life is blighted because he mistakes why Teddy Roosevelt hated what he called dudes for a guy who knew what he was doing. When I think of Josef Weeder, I see a spoiled child stamping his feet because his father is laying a bummer practicality trip on him.
"You gotta go where your heart takes you, do what you want" pretty much sums up the Patterson Family Motto, along with "I Don't Feel Like Being Blamed" and "You Can't Make Me Be Grateful." Of course, Josef Weeder can "follow his heart" because his father worked his butt off to provide everything he has, but he'll never see that. If I were his dad I'd give him what he claims he wants- freedom, including the freedom to pay his own bills. What a noxious little brat.
I can't understand why anyone would want to hang around a blithering, self-important self-styled armchair philosopher like Josef Weeder. He spends three panels saying absolutely nothing on Repeat, and I guess Lynn forgot to include the panel where was asked to define the term "normal." I think he's there just to make Michael look good by comparison, and it works today because Michael doesn't say anything. If I were Michael I'd be telling Josef to shut his stupid nonsense hole because I didn't ask and I don't care.
This is the end result of being raised by mush-headed parents who say losers need to win: an unthinking acceptance of the manifestly stupid and false. Mike doesn't realize it but he has himself an anti-matter Jiminy Cricket, put on this Earth to give him permission to be the dumbest he can be:

The dodo cannot admit to a frame of reference not her own because of her addiction to zero sum thinking.

she can't depict women very accurately either.

The more an SFX technician tried to explain what it is, the less she'd believe him/her.

Like Lynn would ever talk to an expert on the subject. She knows better than anyone else.

Also a ridiculous one. It's annoying to see the hold this rock stupid git has on that stone-headed yokel Mike.

Weed sounds like he's suggesting Michael put a hit on Deanna's mother.
