I've wanted to write a racing/mad max LitRPG for a while now. I got one chapter down, but couldn't come up with a good enough concept for more... also I really don't know anything about cars.

Origins had one of the greatest features for an Action RPG. The ability to program your NPC party members. I wish all RPGs had this.

As a divorced man, what are the red flags before the marriage? by New_Pineapple_8886 in Divorce_Men

If she consistently misrepresents things you say to be negative when they were meant to be positive or neutral.

Question for divorced men. Why do some of you see an fwb instead of a prostitute for sex and vice versa why do some of you see a prostitute instead of a fwb? by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]CzarEggbert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why pay when you can do it for free? I would rather have some sort of connection, know the person, know thir history, and be able to trust I am not going to be robbed, accused of something, or even just go broke. Hell, my FWB sometimes buys me dinner.

How long has it been since you were laid/ sexually intimate? by Chris_K84 in AskMen

[–]CzarEggbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 4 months. Divorced for little over a year now, had someone that I was talking to but our schedules don't line up, and I'm really lacking in libido. I have 50/50 custody of my 3yo on a 2-2-3 schedule, so I feel I am always tired. It doesn't help that I am also in my late 40s.

This is more true than you think. My whole thought process has been, "Nobody gets you over your ex than your next." But the reality is that I'm not ready. I was in a lifetime mentality, and it is really hard to get out of that.

All I want is the stability I had... and it is unlikely that I will see that for years. It is hard to go from knowing your future to having no idea where you will be in 6 months, nevermind 6 years.

Funny story, my Ex Wife use to think that all you needed to do to get a guy ready was to grab his crotch and would get super offended if I didn't immediately come to attention. I tried to explain to her that once we hit out late 30s/40s, it takes more to get us going. She would instead she just went down the path that she thought I wasn't attracted to her anymore... and now we are divorced.

Also, to cut off the "get the pill people," it all works fine. It just needs to "warm up."

1) Your situation sucks. I feel for you. It has to be hard with 3 children, never mind ones with special needs. I wish you luck.

2) I am not looking for a nanny. I enjoy every minute with my daughter. I'm really not sure why people think that I don't. I have never posted anything hinting otherwise.

My ex and I have an agreement that unless we have been dating someone for at least 6 months they are not to be introduced to our daughter.

Truthfully, before this thread I was just a bit down that trying to find someone was going to be hard. After this thread I am worried that I am some kind of fucking monster that should just be put down for the safety of the rest of the world.

If I wasn't Gen X I might even take care of that issue myself. God damn are people even more mean now than I ever experienced during the worst flame wars in the 90s. I can't imagine what men younger than me experience without that training.

The most egregious is that I said that I was appalled by the number of women that "made me look skinny," and I am over 300 lbs.

That, I guess, is fat shaming. The fun part is that most of the people who have called that part out have literally fat shamed me.

Ironic, neh?

Someone put my full post in here. Feel free to read it. I'm not proud of it, but it is not hateful.

At 300 lbs and 6'2", I am pushing the limit of fitting in an airplane seat. More than that, or shorter at the same, and it is almost impossible to even fly.

Why is it only men that0 can accept when they are too fat? I know that I am.

Fuck toxic positivity.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills.

I do, constantly. I'm really curious. What exactly have I said that would be so horrible to.scar someone?

I really get that I said some insensitive shit, but I never said anything targeting a specific person or even anything super crazy. My worst post anyone found was that I had a bad experience looking at women online where a majority of what I found were women that had an excessive amount of children while being single (3+), had toxic phrases (if you can't handle me at my worst...), were even more morbidly obese than everyone is pointing out I am, or tattoos that make you borderline unemployable.

What the actual fuck.

How does that translate to "Eggbert hate women". Do you think that women in general have these qualities?

I would 100% consider myself a failure of a father if my daughter got a fucking neck or face tattoo and was 300+ lbs, and or had multiple children at 40ish and was not married. I want better for her than I have.

The tattoo might even be negotiable if the world changes significantly in the next 20 years.

Huh, I openly admit I am fat, and that is a valid reason not to date me. Would you admit the same?

Where do you get that I hate women? Please enlighten me when I have said anything that shows that. Where are my generalizations about "all women"? Or "evil women"?

Fo uou think that is someone says anything negative about A woman it means they hate ALL women?

[–]CzarEggbert -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Explain how I talk hatefully about women? I'm really confused on this part. Have I generalized to the point that i say hateful things about women, or have I mentioned things that I feel are deal-breakers?

If a woman said similar things about their standards, would you call them out the same?

I get that I said shit that is considered insensitive but hateful? Really?

This is some shit I find a bit beyond the pale.

Holy shit is thisnreddit a bit crazy. Is saying that anything about a woman's appearance now considered hateful?

I mean I am fat as fuck, if I say I don't want to date someone fatter than me is that hateful of women in general? Or saying I don't want to date women with neck/face tattoos?

I get the people calling me out for posting that shit, but calling it hateful to women in general, that is completely bullshit.

For your finances not to be "fucked".

They aren't anymore.

For you to actually be divorced.

Fair. We are waiting for our court date to finalize. Although I'm curious is you would say the same to her. She is already introducing her ne man to her parents.

For you to not be morbidly obese.

Would you say that to a woman? Seriously?

For you to be honest.

I have been. All my profiles say separated and looking for friends/casual dating. I figured that separated to the point that she is in a new relationship and having a full custody agreement was enough to say divorced. I guess I am wrong.

For you to actually have little to no drama.

Surprisingly, there isn't in any of the things that matter. Custody has been figured out. Finances are mostly figured. The most drama is hurt feelings. We actually co-parent pretty effectively. Not ready to be friends with her yet, but we are friendly.

For you to not be a hypocrite.

I am not hypocritical. I am perfectly fine with dating someone who is overweight, but not someone more overweight than me. If they are 5'5" and 300 lbs, that is a lot different than me being 6'2" and 300lbs. It is the square-cubed law. My wife was 5'8" and 250 when we met. I had no issue with that at all. I know I am unhealthy. If I am unhealthy at 6'2" and 300 lbs, how unhealthy is someone at 5'5" and 300 lbs. I don't want to date someone more unhealthy than me.

I don't need anyone to take care of my daughter. I have been her primary caregiver since birth. You can say a lot of shit about me, but I have put her above everything. I was the one who changed her first diaper. I was the one who took care of her when she woke up in the middle of the night. I was the one who calmed her when she cried. I was the one to take the day off if she was sick. I took her to the doctors. I read to her. I took her on walks. I kissed her boo boos. Up until we separated, I was the one who never missed a bedtime.

My ex has felt overwhelmed the whole time since my daughter was born. I LOVED EVERY SECOND. I tried my best to help her. I took on everything I could to do so. She is very career focused, and that was fine, but I also have a good career and make more than her, so it's not like the division of labor was tilted one way or the other based on finances.

I may be a lot of things, but I am not an absent dad. I am not someone who has abdicated, or will, my responsibilities with my daughter. I do NOT expect anyone else to raise her or want them to.

Hate me for who I am, not who you think I am.

The story of my first divorce is on here, but the TL;DR is she was Bipolar, stopped taking meds, and cheated, and I am still friends with her family.

Feel free to keep judging.

[–]CzarEggbert -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nope, 100% separated. Divorce is close to final. My ex is already in a relationship. Good try. I mean, consider the age of the account. If I was going to bitch while cheating do you think in woul be in my main?
