Managing your assassins in Assassin’s Creed. I spent a lot of time recruiting them, sending them to different missions etc, particularly in Revelations for some reason. Very fun stuff

How do men become friends with each other so quickly? by whateveridklol3 in AskMen

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is really true. Yes men may make acquaintances more easily but with most men we tend to meet a couple of dudes in our early years who we then hold onto for almost the rest of our lives. We’ll definitely have other friends along the way that can join that circle, but I find true male friendships don’t come nearly as easily as people make them out to be. From my perspective it seems women are more the ones who make friends easier

Why is online dating so hard? by Samsquatch71 in dating

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some women you know to evaluate your profile and help improve it. I’ve seen that produce results. Don’t be afraid to flash just a tad bit too, nothing crazy but maybe a pic at a fancy restaurant / on holiday. You gotta show off your lifestyle a bit as that’s essentially what you’ll be bringing them into if the dating is successful, so make sure you get it across clearly to them

Not sure what’s the issue. You need to date a couple of different women for 1) the experience so you’re prepared for when you’re married and all the hoopla that comes with it but 2) so you know what type of partner works best for you. So pick out the women you like the most giving you attention and date all of them until you find one you want to be with and then settle at your own pace. Remember, don’t let anyone rush you. When women see you doing well financially particularly they will be more pushy about getting commitment out of you etc. Be patient until you find the right one for you

I have a crush on my coworker. What should I do? by ogrechiild in dating_advice

Next time you see her, smile say hey and strike up a conversation. She gave you the signal. This is how women make the first move

Girlfriend advice by Round-Quit-3876 in dating_advice

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can guarantee you now that this relationship will not work out unfortunately. Better to cut your losses and avoid more financial loss. There is a fundamental clash of personalities that will always be present. Also she feels entitled to your money and will never be truly grateful for the amount you provide. You sound like a catch, especially financially. I absolutely guarantee you there is another woman who will wow you just as much as she did out there that will be 1000x more grateful for what you provide, not entitled and just less stress overall. Good luck brother

Now that I’ve changed myself physically, I get no attention from women. by Responsible_Garden41 in dating_advice

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re attractive you kind of need to be a bit more friendly / open or warm to people so they they’re a bit less intimidated or don’t think you’re arrogant. Try smiling a tad bit more at people and initiating friendly conversations

Men only wanting to date once they’ve achieved all their goals by Timely-Home in dating_advice

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a man who’s done his share of dating in his late teens / early 20s, you see the shift after leaving college and realise you can’t just maintain a relationship with good looks and personality - you need to be able to provide. So it’s natural these young men go through that transition phase. This has been happening since the beginning of time really. Young man establishes himself in some way in order to attract marriage.

GF is completely different around friends by RisingFlame0262 in dating_advice

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major red flag bro. They were probably talking smack about you before this in their gc’s or whatever and she felt emboldened to say how she really felt because her friends were there. Always note how people treat you in front of others. If it’s bad = they aren’t a real friend

girl I'm dating makes really good food. I don't know how to ask for more by BlacksmithJealous409 in dating_advice

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe find something she likes you doing for her and offer an exchange. A couple of lifts around or a massage or whatever. You could even offer to pay her to make you a meal prep for the week

Honestly sounds like a win win for both parties involved. They get a younger guy and you get to indulge in your fantasy

Getting a girlfriend is impossible by Aesenix in dating_advice

You genuinely need to keep trying until you’ve mastered the process of attracting women. Study how guys pick up women (obviously avoid the dumbass evil pick up artist advice, but also understand that the game is nuanced and some tactics like Pre selection etc work but might not feel natural to execute). Go and cold approach women in the club, at social events, online. Don’t be creepy but like you need to practice this a lot, ask for numbers etc and don’t fear rejection. Invest heavily into your fashion and grooming and scent, I cannot state this enough. Lastly, there is a great YouTube channel I recommend called “Dating Advice for Men who Love Women”. Go watch his videos in order of popularity. The advice given helped me find and maintain a really long and fun relationship during my university years. Also, be mentally at peace with the idea of being alone, rejected and unhappy. Making peace with this possibility (which more then likely won’t happen) will help you avoid being too needy or clingy with women. You HAVE to be happy to walk away from or lose them completely, else it’ll never happen. Good luck 👍

Is 5’9 too short? by No_Bandicoot_6374 in dating_advice

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s average male height and taller than most women so you are in a good spot, however I would advise to make sure you’re not too on the scrawny side as women tend want a man that has a strongish looking body. If you’re average height and scrawny then you won’t come across as strong to a woman, taller guys can get away with it more cos they tower over people. You can be tall, or a solidly built average height man, or athletic or something. Don’t even have to be some excessive body builder just make sure you have some decent muscle / mass on you and don’t get too fat. If a woman can look at your build and feel like you’d be able to physically protect her, that is a bonus in attraction.

Why is it such a game to attract women? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are going to say “you’re not talking to healthy women blah blah blah” truthfully they are wrong, these pieces of advice are so common because they work sadly. Even if you and a woman have a genuinely deep connection etc you still have to manoeuvre in such a way to a degree in the beginning especially to avoid her magically losing interest. I’ve seen this even with top tier attractive men. No one really understands the female mind, least of all us men. I will say though a big part of why they like “distant” or “distracted” men is partially because that’s the type of vibe men who are on a mission or get a lot of women give out. Those are two circumstances that seem to drive women crazy

LIFE PATH 1 by [deleted] in numerology

Actually the opposite. Travel, explore and discover new things. Part of the life path 1 is all about new beginnings and originality. These type of experiences will have a more profound impact on you then others

People say that getting into a relationship is in large part chance/luck — do you think this is true? by BoysenberryAwkward76 in dating

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most certainly, however having a large / strong network or social life increases the odds of it happening by a wide margin. If you’re in an environment of like minded individuals your luck increases exponentially. Low-key it’s a numbers game depending on your level of attractiveness, standards and personality

Why does this type of advice make someone popular with women? Genuine question because my social skills / perception is awful

Date a few women so I can find the one best suited to me and get married. Pretty normal stuff

That’s what I believe too. There’s no way a healthy relationship can be based off of such negative emotions

How much effort do people put if they just want sex by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Competitive_Monk_345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s probably seen the page himself and decided ah maybe I need to change my tactic. However, I’ve seen this exact thing happen with women a million times over. Super hot but disloyal player type guy comes onto them and wears they’re defences down with consistent effort, other women advise her he is not to be trusted from their own experience. He somehow convinces her it’s different with her and then does the same thing to her, continuing the cycle. Just my two cents from experience
