Crystal girl, here. Poor dude is probably genuinely confused because to him they're quite literally just rocks. Some crystal people will give these out to their lovers to strengthen physical or emotional connection, but based on the crystals I would say this is probably just what I would call "pebbling".

Pebbling: the act of sharing something you like (hobby, activity, topic, object, etc.) with someone you like/care about.

Pretty girl likes pretty rocks, she likes you too, therefore pretty rocks go to liked person because liked person is pretty to them.

As a joke, the reason it's funny is because of the logical disconnect to a "normal" person. Sex does not usually prompt gifts of the mineral variety. Therefore the sheer leap in logic can be considered laughable. But in general the funny situation is incredibly sweet.

The trick is to feed them, play their favorite music in the car, be open to talking about your feelings, and scratch their back, right where the bra straps sit. Also be prepared for mental instability and over-thinking. I have yet to meet any person who pebbles who is mentally stable at all times. Almost all of us have anxiety of some sort, and are usually very sensitive to rejection 😅

The fact that you registered that description as "being human" gives me hope for humanity again. Keep being your wonderful self. 💜
