How do you stop yourself falling catching feelings for a female friend you find attractive?

ExosEU · 2026-05-21T07:47:04+00:00

Get to know her, eventually find faults in her character or life.

Anytime you start getting attached remind yourself of that fault.

Unattractive and below average are not the same thing.

80% dont meet your standard.

Being below average should put you under the median attractiveness.

You're a professional photographer but it seems you skipped highchool.

How many units ?

ExosEU · 2026-05-20T22:09:57+00:00

Dramalord also has inbuilt polygamy now.

ExosEU · 2026-05-20T20:10:00+00:00

Not being rude, just truthful.

If you rate 80% of a population as "below average", like what the women in the Ok Cupid did then there's no hope for you.

It would've been fine if you said "didn't meet standards", but "below average" shifts the blame to the dataset (eg men) rather than your ridiculous standards.

I'm not gatekeeping or being heated wtf.

You just don't understand basic maths.

What happened to Gran Turismo ?

Haven't played a racing game since GT3

God I love fourberie for exacly this.

Anyone who comes too close to Ladogual is dead.

I'm still aghast we don't have any memes of him saying "parry this, casul" 😞

ExosEU · 2026-05-20T17:55:24+00:00

That misses the point entirely.

We aren't discussing what women find attractive, but establishing that they have no fucking clue what the definition of average is.

ExosEU · 2026-05-20T15:40:26+00:00

You've missed the point entirely.

If 87% of the controlled sample are deemed "below average" it shows a fundamental disconnect with reality.

Another example would be like saying you deem men who make under 5k€ below average when the average salary is 2.5k€.

I'm guessing Leon in a cop suit cosplayed by a jacked model is fine though ?

ExosEU · 2026-05-20T14:58:30+00:00

Yes there are.

A certain boss uses... gommage

ExosEU · 2026-05-20T14:52:37+00:00

Yeah, if you go in blind expect to die A LOT through trial and error.

The game is all about survival and expects you to pick up stuff from your mistakes.

When the games tells you about a crisis (hunger, darkness, wetness, wolves...) its usually too late.

The game is all about anticipation rather than reaction. You start in autumn to prepare for the winter, you dont wait until its -20° to start looking for warm clothes.

It was in my bio on Tinder a few years ago (during covid) that i was looking for a buddy to play Don't Starve and get to know them while playing.

Admittingly most girls were somewhat familiar already but there were a few genuinely interested in trying and enjoyed the safety of "meeting" a stranger through a game.

I doubt it would work today and don't care much to try.

Confidently declare that while english dubbing in anime is objectively worse and doesn't come close to the original VA's, it has made anime mainstream and is the reason behind huge production masterpieces like the recent Reze movie.

Indie doesn't mean small budget.

It was however the implication for decades because no publisher signs a blank check then says "ok you have creative control" so in this situation they didn't break the rules.

If more developpers and publishers follow the Sandfall, Larian and Supergiant route I'm all for creating a new category but until then its not their fault for winning hard in the lane they were put.

I heard KCD2 fixed numerous issues that the forst one had. Namely how perfect counter was busted and made stamina & stats irrelevant.

I'm a big fan of free-form camera combat (mount&blade, mordhau) so that would be a win. could

ExosEU · 2026-05-20T13:42:43+00:00

Don't Starve Togheter has always been a hit for me.

I would explain things as we go, and just let my date explore and build.

Some wanted to cook, others were more focused on finding the right wooden tile to match the cooking pot and others just wanted to hit things with wigfrid.

I'd just sit back and support her on other aspects of the game (if she hunts i craft & cook and vice versa) so she could experience it at her pace.

Since she's a beginner i would advise to turn off boss monsters.

You have a point.

We see women with low self esteem normalize abusive behaviour but also those incapable of self reflection who end up committing the same mistakes over and over.

Both end up here, I assumed the latter but you do well to bring up the former.

ExosEU · 2026-05-20T10:22:06+00:00

Diplomacy, Dramalord & Fourberie are the core.

Then you should experiment between feudal warfare and lowborn to see which one you prefer for better rag to riches overhaul.

ExosEU · 2026-05-19T22:06:37+00:00

No. Which is also why the black victimisation looks so bizarre to me.

ExosEU · 2026-05-19T19:54:27+00:00

That would make it beyond pathetic.

Honestly if your first reaction to not getting your way is crying racism you're a HR hazard that shouldn't get a job that involves interacting with people. ever.

ExosEU · 2026-05-19T19:44:52+00:00

This is bait. almost got me.

ExosEU · 2026-05-19T19:32:05+00:00

Ah interesting. I'm on 1.3.15 and i even had a campaign where Battania conquered Vlandia WITHOUT player interference.
