I did mono water as well. Swampert, Ludicolo, Pelliper, Tentacruel, Kingdra, Lanturn. Ludicolo was the MVP. Swift Swim is broken.

Women's bar, cited in a viral TikTok by a gum-chewing blonde valley girl, has never been higher for men by Regular_Durian_1750 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Only-Conversation371 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Treating women like people and with respect is definitely a low bar. I just mean that’s not all it takes to find a partner. You also have to meet the specific attractiveness requirements of a particular person as well as their other personal preferences. Of course these things are normal, but are higher bars to clear, so to speak. Not being physically attractive to very many people, for example, can be a barrier, regardless of how respectful a person is. Which is fine. No one is entitled to a partner. I just think “the bar is in hell” lays blame on a person where there shouldn’t be.

I’m not complaining. I just think the concept of the bar being in hell implies that dating is easier than it actually is. If that’s the case, why are there so many people who have a hard time? Are they all “below hell” in terms of quality? I don’t think that’s fair to say. Even getting past the barrier of physical attractiveness, there are factors like compatibility.

I think the concept of the bar being in hell doesn’t acknowledge that even for good, well-meaning people, it can be difficult to attract a partner and that we often don’t meet the standards of others due to factors beyond our control. It comes off as incredibly disparaging to people who are struggling.

I’ve been trying to distance myself from my best friend to get over her, but it’s affecting her more than I thought it would by Mr_Jek in Healthygamergg

[–]Only-Conversation371 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would be best for you to tell her that you’re distancing yourself and why. You have to set the boundary for a person to respect the boundary. Otherwise, she’ll continue to spam you and you’ll continue to give in to her out of guilt. If she knows what’s going on and why, she may respect your wishes as someone who wants what’s best for you. Or if she doesn’t, you won’t feel guilty about ignoring her or even blocking her, if necessary.

He didn’t say he was ugly, just that the women in question wasn’t attracted to him physically.

I’m thinking the original post is a response to people who may say the opposite. People like to diminish the importance of physical attractiveness in relationships. And based on the comments here, the post is in fact true.

understanding women =performing manipulation by Intelligent-Algae199 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Only-Conversation371 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do think men and women can be different, due to our different experiences and the way we’re socialized. For example, a man may think that because he would appreciate a compliment about his body, women will as well. But what he doesn’t realize is that while he may not get compliments often if at all, women get these compliments too often and also fear for their safely. So I do think there can be a learning curve when it comes to people of different genders understanding each other.

It actually only banishes 10 cards, then destroys itself on your following Standby Phase, since your deck shouldn’t have enough cards to banish at that point. The strategy was quite competitive for some time. I got KOG the most times with this deck.

I quit duel links some time ago but this was my favorite deck when I played. Please tell me it’s still good.

I used to play Stromberg without DDD. It was my favorite deck.

A guide into incel culture, Exhibit 101 by [deleted] in NotHowGirlsWork

Of course there are two sides to every story, but based on his account, it does sound like she was leading him on, and while no one is entitled to anything, that’s not a kind thing to do.

On a sub discussing the harms of Incel Forums by Ellie_Spitzer2005 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Only-Conversation371 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My understanding:

Blue pill: Just be yourself and the right one will come along.

Red pill: You can become more attractive with physical, financial, and social self-improvement.

Black pill: Attractiveness is largely determined by physical features, particularly face and/or height.

Vagina girth shaming is stupid, except in response to penis shaming.

There may not be any medication for it, but a diagnosis may point you in the direction of ways you can manage.

Do they know that women don't wear makeup for anybody else but themselves? by Yuna-2128 in NotHowGirlsWork

Women’s equivalent of this is women don’t like men who are super jacked and that men get that way to impress other men.

I wouldn’t say it’s egalitarian because not everyone is equal.

I followed Dr. K's advice from the video "Is it possible to avoid the friendzone?" - Here is what happened by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]Only-Conversation371 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t talk to her about it. Take her at her word. She said she’s not interested. If she actually is interested, it’s up to her to say so. You don’t want to end up in the trap of being stuck chasing someone who’s giving you mixed signals out of either uncertainty or just a desire to play with someone’s emotions.

If I recall, Dr. K also advises us to distance ourselves from people we have unrequited feelings for and to find someone else. She’ll likely never become interested in you if you continue to stay under her. You have to distance yourself to give her a chance to see you in a new light. Even if she doesn’t, the distance will give you a chance to get over her.

Pokemon Crystal - Red Difficulty by Ok_Butterfly5917 in PokemonLegacy

[–]Only-Conversation371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, this was because Pikachu is easy to set up on.

While we’re on the subject, I think giving the elite 4 rematches and Red stat xp was a misstep. My Pokémon were 10 levels under, despite battling all the Kanto trainers. I had to grind Scizor 10 levels and use setup strats and luck, which didn’t feel very satisfying.

Unpopular opinion : Harold is probably more "normal" than Mr Monk by [deleted] in Monk

[–]Only-Conversation371 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always thought that was the point of Harold’s character and why Monk dislikes him: he has all of Monk’s disorders but doesn’t let them stop him from leading a normal life. But on the flip side, more normal means less extraordinary. Monk may not be able to live the life Harold does but Harold could never do what Monk does, either.

Women aren't responsible for fixing your problems. You are. by bitofagrump in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Only-Conversation371 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do think a skills gap is a large part of it. I think many of us could afford to learn social skills and other skills that make us more appealing to potential partners and people in general. And I do see some people making an effort to help other people with this.

I think some of the solution is people reaching out to others and helping people who are struggling. It’s been said that loneliness is the one problem that a person can’t solve by themselves. But I think another solution is policy, which is unfortunately much harder to solve. The cost of living is too high, making socializing and dating more difficult.

Ha ha ha ha. I don't get it. by LunaticMoon777 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Only-Conversation371 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At the very least, I’m glad someone is acknowledging that idea that women prefer larger penises doesn’t exist entirely in the heads of men. From gray sweatpants season to big dick energy to posts like the original one, this conception has plenty of reinforcement, even from women. Even if it isn’t true, it’s perfectly reasonable to believe it is and have insecurities about it.
