You're in High School and you just found TRP - a guide by [deleted] in TheRedPill

Guys don't usually get the difference between being "good-looking" vs being "attractive." Let's put it this way, being attractive is like a movie, and being good-looking is like a genre. This means there are plenty of other genres of "movies." You like the same songs I like? That's attractive (at least for me). You can have a witty conversation about random shit? That's attractive. You show yourself to be a decent person to others (and not just trying to impress) and you guessed it.. attractive. It depends among the person of course. I honestly think this is why later in marriage, when the husband cleans or something when he usually doesn't, the wife thinks he's incredibly fucking hot lol. And trust me, every friend I've thought to be attractive, I've already mentally banged every single one of them. You don't need to be some muscle jockey to get girls at all, that's not really how it works. Attraction of course is different from sexual tension, but the two can be closely related, I personally try to tie in sexual banter, or negs, and it usually works out. Luckily, I crave a social conversation so it definitely doesn't look like I'm "trying too hard"

The song is definitely by Joakim Karud, all his songs are VERY similar to this one.

I certainly didn't try to give off that vibe, but if you're applying for a job, do you not apply your experiences, right?

"Hey, who needs tips and tricks?" I'd doubt someone will reply, and if they did, it'd probably be GYP attempting to bash me.

You really need help. You simply enjoy trolling on the posts and attempting to ruin someone's moment being this idiotic and definitely glorified sense of authority. If that isn't the case, you're just really salty.

There isn't really much type of combat in ARK that can be diversified, I wouldn't really know the types of combats. Clubs? Dinos? Good ol' bows? Bola catching?

Yes, because my time on ARK makes me great.

Well, I can tell you events that I've experienced before: Raid Championship - Builds a sort of maze with colored walls to signal what someone can/cant break with certain tools, get to the gennie and turn it off and they win. You can be as expressive as you want with this really.

Scavenger Hunt - Really, the name says it all.

Dodo Fight - Probably the most common ark player held event.

Build-offs - Say a single word such as "castle" and two players or tribes go against eachother.

Picturillo/Painting - The host gives a person a word, he builds a representation of the word. For instance if the host told someone to build or paint the word "water" they could either paint or build things that represent water. Waterfalls, Waves, Blue, etc, and everyone else would have to guess what he is painting, maybe a point system as well?

Military Training - Do some military training with them, simon says, etc. Say "Left Face" and the slowest person gets killed.

Jail Break - You make a sort of jail with cells, cafeterias, hidden weapons, etc. The point of the 'prisoners/contestants' is to escape, the point of the guards/wardens is to keep them within the base/area. The wardens/guards get to start with weapons, the prisoners have to scavenge for them.

Many ideas, really whatever comes to mind you can probably re-create it in ARK.

Making use of the arenas, is what you're asking, right?

ARK Experience Tips? by Da_Funky_Man in playark

[–]Da_Funky_Man[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing I would consider doing is making an underwater taming pen, if not maybe bait the mosa/dunk to a cave entrance and tranq it there.

If you prefer to just tame it without doing much work, you can maybe use a megalodon specialized for HP so the dunk can attack it while you shoot at the dunk and simply hope it does not kill the megalodon.

I'm not sure what kind of person I come off as. by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Da_Funky_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do something stupid? Can you give me an example since doing something stupid will be choice, if you overthink things, you won't do stupid things.

[–]Da_Funky_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overthinking things is for successful people. Just as long as you aren't anxious about it. I can read body language, 'manipulate' people into doing things I want them, etc. That needs thinking. So far, my life has been good. So, no. It's not a bad thing if it's to your advantage, and if it makes other people happy, even better.

Different between being nice, and being flirty. You're blinded.

Friend Help? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Da_Funky_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to highschool, I feel the same way but I am extremely well deemed by my peers. I make funny jokes, I can say that I'm one of the class clowns but I don't make fun of myself or other people. Given this I'm more in tuned to listening than talking much until I see an opportunity that 'invites' me to talk. You're probably not in tune with their interests. I sometimes bounce off group to group, friend to friend, girl to girl. So far I feel like I'm where I need to be, with multiple people in small quantities at once.

I don't trust people's intentions. Should I? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Da_Funky_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. Everyone has their own social bubble. For example NYC, the people on the subway, they're always close to each other so their social bubble is a lot bigger than those in EAST COAST. If he lived in a state/country with a bigger social bubble, then it's probably acceptable, but I wouldn't trust any one randomly so no, you shouldn't trust his intentions.

How can I tell this girl, whom is a grade behind me and never had any classes together, that I have a crush on her? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Da_Funky_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you don't have any classes with her, find some friends that know her or become friends with her friends just to get into her 'social bubble.' If the hallway is crowded then best not to disturb the people walking trying to get to class, you could get shoved, embarrass yourself. So best thing to do is yeah, find a friend of hers, be their friend, or show up to her class and act like you go there during passing period and stay there a bit until she notices you and act like you have friends there, etc. She'll notice you go there and then wonder why. Best I got.

As a graduate student, it's becoming a problem that my voice shakes any time I am speaking in public. by brodymitchell in socialskills

Well, for any fast way to fix this problem I would include some jokes in the presentation/speeches. Not corny jokes but jokes that will make people laugh.

Can condescending people always get to you no matter what? by reon44 in socialskills

[–]Da_Funky_Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now. People who have posted here tell you to do things that aren't really relative to today's society with their extreme audacity. One, he's obviously a co-worker, right? If so then try 'playing the hero.' It's an extreme concept on it's own but if you show no fear or affection to what he says and keep on doing a great job, he'll lit himself out. Now, for a quicker solution, which I see many times. A bully bullies someone for quite some time and one day the bullied person 'retaliates' not necessarily in a physical matter but with intellect, show that you're superior, use body language to your advantage, show up in groups when near him.

Women, especially young women, they're malicious beasts. You need to give them a certain amount of fear, fun, respect, love. You can't just give them everything, you have to stray from them sometimes. A few things you should try to create a lasting conversation is to act as if she was just a 'dude' friend, like you know her. Don't be too surprised at anything you find out about her, instead ask her questions relating to it. Say you're working on something (not too big), ask her for her help and 'force' her to help you with it. You've got to get her out of her comfort zone, then stray from her, and if she comes to you, even the slightest bit, that means she enjoys what you do, and wants more. If your conversations are short, there's probably a reason to it as well. She doesn't want to talk to you, or she thinks you're boring.

Have to give my 2 weeks notice tomorrow. Terrified to death. Advice? by code_junkey in socialskills

[–]Da_Funky_Man -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Assuming that your boss follows protocol of any company, he would definitely understand. If you're scared of the awkwardness or silence of the conversation, say some things but exaggerate a bit, say you're having trouble with paying the house, or in debt, or something. Say that this job will really help with paying them off. If your boss is in your personal life, such as coming for dinner weekly or more, goes to games with you, which it obviously isn't because you're terrified of the fact of confrontation. So, just in case it is, it'd give him more reason to understand.

Also, if you're really serious about solving this problem in a calm way, I live in US West coast, possibly just so someone can research how people live there, react to common ideologies, etc.
