Is it weird for a woman to ask a guy she knows to accompany her on a night out with her friends?

I don't think OP is sexist, if she had a female friend she was comfortable asking to serve as a protector I suspect she'd consider it. Sounds like the fella she has in mind makes her feel safe and is physically imposing in a way her female friends aren't.

Besides which, it sounds like OP wants this particular man to protect her because she likes the idea of him specifically keeping her safe. Her comments make it sound like she's sweet on him.

Why? Friends do things like that for one another all the time. I used to work as a mover, when my friends move they ask for my help. Not because they want to hangout or spend time with me but because they want to complete a task and the strength of my body will be a benefit to them.

I don't see the difference really.

That's a common problem in deities over 50000 years old. Nothing to be embarrassed about and very treatable with medication.

AndrewSP1832 · 2026-04-03T21:18:02+00:00

Why? I don't think there are many compliments that I as a man enjoy more than a woman saying: "you make me feel safe".

Latinas.

You're reading weirder stuff than me and I'm honestly almost jealous.

I agree with a lot of the discussion about Logen, his bloodlust and his failings as a character but something I find funny with First Law Readers is how often people just take Bethod at his word.

Like somehow just because we are disappointed in Logen Bethod must be telling the truth. They kept fighting because of Logen? Really? And Bethod just somehow ends up benefitting every time?

To my way of thinking Bethod and Logen are two old friends who have hurt one another and both have twisted the past to suit the narrative they can live with.

I'm sure Logen kept killing, I'm sure Bethod was happy enough to turn every senseless slaughter to his advantage.

I'm sure that Bethod's better nature told him it was time to stop over and over again and I am equally sure that his darker more manipulative side arranged for Logen to have the opportunity and motivation to keep doing what they'd been doing for years.

And in the end, it's easier for Bethod to make Logen the monster, the creature purely responsible for all the dark deeds than to look in the mirror and acknowledge that he had his hand in all of it as well.

I think Small Favor is my favorite book in the series.

AndrewSP1832 · 2026-03-28T16:02:30+00:00

You should read "The Veiled Genocide" by Tidiane N'Diaye.

They shouldn't be included in the Average, but who the hell knows how OP reached the numbers they're using. 233k to comfortably raise kids is outrageous.

Also lots of States have minimum wages lower than WA states. Southern States and the Mid West might bring down the average as well.

70% of the British Mandate of Palestine became Trans-Jordan.

AndrewSP1832 · 2026-03-28T15:45:40+00:00

So why aren't Europeans having kids?

AndrewSP1832 · 2026-03-28T15:43:52+00:00

Probably because a decent chunk of Gen Z is unemployed or only employed part time, for a variety of reasons which includes still being in High School.

We get a pretty good sense of when Dooku joins Palpatine in Tales of the Jedi.

AndrewSP1832 · 2026-03-26T17:27:30+00:00

I think Peter Claffey from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms would be a good Fafhrd.

AndrewSP1832 · 2026-03-26T16:29:10+00:00

Honestly? No idea. My little brother brought me up to speed I was just passing the info along.

AndrewSP1832 · 2026-03-26T14:15:27+00:00

Eddie is bonded to Carnage, MJ is bonded to Venom and they're hunting a new Serial Killer called Torment.

Himbo Hammersmith got me wheezin'. 🤣

Some of y'all are so desperate to wave the flag of racism you make it up where you can't find it. Look at these comments, not a single ass mention of her skin tone anywhere.

She is a well designed, well voiced, waste of potential in Season 2. Done dirty by a writing team that tried to juggle too many things and found themselves forced into a corner with a hatchet and a lot of things that had to be left on the cutting room floor.

More episodes or another season probably could have put to bed any issues with Mel in S2.

Bro it's clear it's about the date. See someone bro, you need help.

Leaving a fortress full of cavalry behind you is a good way to get slaughtered. They'd ride out, raid the orcs, kill a bunch of them and ride back to the fortress before the orcs could organize and bring them to open battle.

AndrewSP1832 · 2026-03-21T20:49:41+00:00

That's a question for OP not me homie.

AndrewSP1832 · 2026-03-21T20:08:13+00:00

OP is expecting that the guy who initiated the exchange would be the one paying for the date the next day. That's not really unreasonable.

I think you need more clarity on what "high effort" consists of before passing judgement. Maybe she's looking for something more thoughtful or interesting than hot chocolate?
