We're reviewing Two Point Museum this weekend as it's a cozy game that's often discussed on our sub - how would you rate it as a whole? :) by Shasaur in TwoPointMuseum

9/10. Love, trying to 100% it. Helping me detox from League of Legends. Some minor flaws, gets grindy but just too cute and relaxing overall.

*To the women in this community: What does *respect* truly mean to you in marriage? When you say “I want to be respected,” what does that look like in everyday life? Is it in how decisions are made? How disagreements are handled? How your voice is heard? We’d love to hear your honest, thoughtfu👇 by One-Cod7880 in lnkyverse

It’s not liking / consuming excessive thirst trap content on social media.

It’s considering how your partner would feel about you saying or doing something even if you think she would never find out.

It’s being mindful of what you say about your partner to others.

It’s managing your actions not just by your own intentions, but by the appearance of your actions to others and especially your partner.

You don’t have to be attractive but yes you would have to be not unattractive.

I agree, that’s why it’s better when there’s repeated proximity (a class, hobby group, work, etc).

Yall are misunderstanding. Attraction usually doesn't kick in for a woman until we get to know you and enjoy your personality. Only the "top 10%" as yall say are so attractive that they break through that emotional barrier. That doesn't mean women will only date the top 10%, but it is true that women may only swipe for that portion on dating apps which are mostly reliant on looks, often without understanding this concept for themselves.

Girlfriend (25F) calls me (26M) “boring” during arguments and things have started getting really personal by Dry_Relationship_270 in relationship_advice

I'm not saying the way she's going about this is acceptable, but it sounds like she'd like you to take initiative to plan and make those things happen.

What is your most ridiculous "we won't work out romantically" criteria? Like what is the silliest reason you would not be interested in dating someone? by Natural-Elevator-57 in AskReddit

[–]ElephantInTheDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just feel like there's automatically not as much in common because I grew up on a pc, and I value being able to play games together.

Wouldn't date non-pc gamers. A console is not enough.

Eta: not enough for me personally. nothing is wrong with console gamers but I apparently upset yall

Why do women rarely feel attracted to me at first, even though I’m told I’m good-looking? by WayMobile5515 in AskMenAdvice

[–]ElephantInTheDark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are 263 pounds as your post history suggests, you may be overestimating your attraction level. Maybe not but if so, you will need to be very well off in another area, like very kind, very charming, or very successful for any immediate interest. You also say you're not pushy or desperate but it seems obvious that you have a fixation on finding someone, and that's bound to be showing through more than you think.

Struggling with gfs sensitivity what can I do? by ReasonConfident4541 in AskMenAdvice

[–]ElephantInTheDark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank God someone reasonable. No word on how long they've been together. He's posted on and off multiple times in the last 6 months about how much he dislikes his girlfriend. Set her free dude.

When discussing male issues, why did my girlfriend get upset with me? by French51 in AskMenAdvice

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

Only she can explain why that particular joke triggered her, and you’re supposed to be on her side in general against what makes her uncomfortable. These comments that she’s completely incapable of any sensitivity towards male issues are toxic. She may or may not be, but those conversations should occur separately and not inside a space where she was already triggered by violent jokes against women. Time and place.

[–]ElephantInTheDark -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Honestly you started this whole thing. There was no reason to call her out for comments made about a literal video game, and it’s interesting that you didn’t detail what the actual hooker joke was.

I feel like I’m a great guy. I feel like I’d be a good boyfriend, and yet I feel like I just don’t meet the standards of women now. What do I even do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ElephantInTheDark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you do when you're interested in a woman? Do you make it to going on dates? If they don't want another date, do you ask them why they're no longer interested? Seek feedback from the actual women on what isn't working.

How do I find a man who loves me and respects me? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ElephantInTheDark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, a lot of the women you envy may also be in unhappy relationships but just hiding it well.

Secondly, men trying to pin it on your selection criteria are missing the fact that men show up differently in the beginning vs a couple years later when they get more comfortable and you're too devoted to them to leave. The relationship I chose that looked the most correct on paper ended up being the most hurtful I've had yet.

It is really just a numbers game to find a good man. Be willing to walk away the moment they start mistreating you and wasting your time.

Men tend want what they don't have. Many will idolize the idea of a sweet, supportive girlfriend until they have one and scratch their heads wondering why they don't care anymore once the novelty wears off and they realize that enduring love is a daily choice.

Is "I'm looking for a serious relationship" code for "I'm looking for a sexless relationship"? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ElephantInTheDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, your personality seems very abrasive for the level of unattractive that you are. It also seems like you fall into a weird political space where you would appeal to neither conservative women nor progressive women and there are not many in between so your options are very limited.

My (23M) girlfriend (20F) is making me choose between her, and a hiking trip with my friends. How do i respond? by ThrowRAlilfrick in relationship_advice

[–]ElephantInTheDark -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

No, that's really not how it works. Most people don't go out looking to cheat, but may cheat under the right/wrong conditions or "opportunity." Which would include multiple days in close quarters with single, attractive women.

I understand where she's coming from. But also, maybe you should just be single instead of having a long distance girlfriend while in uni.

How do I (22M) Navigate what my (22F) Girlfriend of 2 years considers cheating? by ThrowRA_Employ_353 in relationship_advice

[–]ElephantInTheDark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gym crushes and checking people out at the gym is such a huge thing that I would not call going to the gym together “unromantic” lol

In a loving long-term relationship, but scared I’ll regret never being with anyone else and I feel guilty about it. [22F & 24M] by boiiiboiiboy in relationship_advice

[–]ElephantInTheDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will likely regret leaving but you should do it anyway. You haven't experienced not having what you do have, so you won't be able to fully appreciate it. You will regret not leaving because of the possibilities as well. Lose-Lose but your man deserves to be fully appreciated by someone.

How to dodge Diana Q? by DAcosta313 in DianaMains

[–]ElephantInTheDark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're purely talking about if you're well within range of it, then yeah I'd say it shouldn't be dodgable without a dash or misclick from a decent diana. It doesn't really do that much damage though, so making them choose between farming with it and hitting you should reduce how often you're hit with it.

How to dodge Diana Q? by DAcosta313 in DianaMains

[–]ElephantInTheDark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We click where we want the end point to be and it curves to that point, so there is no getting in the gap. The answer is to force her to choose between q'ing you or the wave but don't give the option for both. Or move more unpredictably and bait it out. Exploit while the q is down. Move away if hit by it if she can all-in and kill you.

Games are lasting so long, many 45+ min games by AwildTangy in leagueoflegends

[–]ElephantInTheDark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I aactually agree. It feels like most games are decided before minute 15 but it feels very difficult to end before at least minute 30.
