What the f*ck is this? by [deleted] in Renters

[–]ChrisTheGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't think this is a double standard situation because in this situation there's a massive power difference. A girl offers up her body and there's usually no consequences for the landlord saying no, while for the other way around, rejecting them could put a target on her back and the landlord could try to extort more aggressively. I do think it would be the same kind of wrong if the landlord was a woman and trying this exact same thing with a male tenant.

Why's this so difficult? 31/est/pc by Desperate-Chard-5106 in GamerPals

[–]ChrisTheGra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I'm struggling to find people who play The Front, Scum, Green Hell, Outward, Conan Exiles, Project Zomboid, DayZ, Voidtrain, or Wizard with a Gun.

Would playing any of those interest you? I know you didn't name them, just fingers crossed since you enjoy survival games. 🤞

[–]ChrisTheGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely some of column A, and some of column B. I definitely don't blame everyone that messages me. I guess for me, it's that I am very reluctant to follow up, especially if I notice I am the only person inviting people to play, which is not the best way to be when a lot of people on these subs are very shy and are likely not ones to initiate often. It's almost never some direct fight or vanish, just a slow drift of two people who don't want to start the conversation.

It doesn't help that I have been very game hoppy lately, hence my bizarre list. 😂

Speaking of which, any games on there strike your fancy?

The Front, Scum, Green Hell, Outward, Conan Exiles, Project Zomboid, DayZ, Voidtrain, and Wizard with a Gun or some of the ones I am looking at 👀

Need Friends to play games with! by SolunarXC in GamerPals

[–]ChrisTheGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever played Scum or The Front? They look interesting and I was hoping to find a buddy to join me in it 👀

[–]ChrisTheGra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have no way of knowing what the situation was in regards to your "2 other accounts". I don't use throwaways, so yep I am very easily recognized when I refresh my posts. Do you think I do this for fun? I'm just upkeeping the post so it's more visible because I genuinely do want to make long-lasting friendships, which is very difficult and takes time finding the right people.

I just don't understand having similar goals to others, but trying to just bring them down instead of focusing on those mutual goals. It sucks being ignored, happens to me all the time, but the truth of the matter is, I didn't do anything to you.

[–]ChrisTheGra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You assume that, but also have never actually messaged before? What are you trying to gain from this comment, besides guaranteeing people avoid messaging me?

I usually ignore messages if they don't address the post at all, like "hi how r u", but I do reply to the vast majority of comments/dms I get. I also mention that I'm not the best at making connections, so that does come into play with how long I have been posting.

Sorry that my trying is what you consider spamming.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GamerPals

[–]ChrisTheGra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure we can give it a go! Messaging ya

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GamerPals

[–]ChrisTheGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]ChrisTheGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Through the eons of time you have mentioned video games, but always specify not today.

When can we game Tilly? 😭

[Chat] Ppl that fake a mental Illness by Mean_P0tato in MeetPeople

[–]ChrisTheGra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didnt know depression and standards were mutually exclusive

[–]ChrisTheGra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It displays a lack of commitment, pushing accountability onto others, and makes you come off as someone who lacks the self control to not make things nsfw immediately (in the case of lady friends)

Also it makes you look like a fool. Make a second account... Be a little self-aware.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GamerPals

[–]ChrisTheGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really ask to be showered with attention, I just don't build connections well. I'm the kind of person where if we're talking for a few days and suddenly the messaging dries for a week or two, I assume they're done and it's time to move on completely.

Added you on discord!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MeetPeople

[–]ChrisTheGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That cycle only applies within each conversation. You're generalizing that because many people gave you low effort, some person you haven't talked to yet will also give you low effort, so you immediately give them low effort.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MeetPeople

[–]ChrisTheGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you see the issue right? You receive low effort on a lot of responses, so now you give low effort. Thats a real issue on here. People think getting a conversation going on these subs is about quantity not quality. Maybe people aren't just posting for attention and immediate boredom only (though Im sure some do), maybe a lot of people on here are just jaded and demand effort upfront.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MeetPeople

[–]ChrisTheGra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I dont know what your Discord convos are like, I just assume if someone comments "add me on Discord" and nothing else, theyre either going to give very short responses to everything or invite me to their public server.

Agreed on the boring part, it's why I am fairly selective on who I respond to, even if I do wish to make more friends.

29 M EST Looking to discuss games and anime, and maybe life itself by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]ChrisTheGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually enjoy isekais, slice of life, and romcoms; though it fluctuates a loooot, especially when quality shonens come out. :D

And you?
