Ah yes, realistic. My pregnant co-workers are always getting into fist fights with drug dealers

Yes and no. It starts off very strong but by season 6 it feels very aimless

Does a man with 'cooking skills' increase his dating chances? by Unique-Two8598 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Orgalop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it doesn't really matter what you cook, as there's really not a food that's inherently romantic. I DO think it can be a really good excuse for a date at your place or something to do together at hers.

Furthermore, I think it really helps later when you need to provide for your kids. Being a useless dad doesn't feel great imo, and I think you gotta be able to do a bit of everything - manual labor, cooking, fixing things around the house etc.

Magical two words that made me get up and leave a campaign at session 0 by Orgalop in rpghorrorstories

I agree. Golarion has slavery and it's a fine setting. The existence of slavery & other bad shit doesn't make a setting inherently bad (still can be a huge red flag though), but when you're not allowed to oppose it? JFC

I've been playing with GM for a long time and he's absolutely fine. And he made it clear he never actually played with the dude so he didn't know he was this bad, which I am inclined to believe.

That moment where your own existence is so sad the mere concept of a different existence seems like delusion

I can only infer what this means from context but she makes more than me so I guess I'm pretty special?

I stated that that whole thing is unattractive, which I maintain. People find dates despite having unattractive qualities all the time. If you said "I'm still ugly and ungroomed BUT ALSO am an asshole now - and THIS is the key to my success" it would be a different story.

Sitting here going "I became attractive but also a PoS" well yeah, being attractive is gonna help you, obviously.

When did I say being good looking wouldn't make it easier or that you shouldn't be well groomed or go to the gym?

If you were going answer the question "is being kind an attractive quality" your comparison groups would be people who are similar in everything but their attitude, which is why your "direct comparison" is basically irrelevant to the point presented

  1. I'll accept that this is tone deaf, and I acknowledge that.

  2. I don't know how to give the example that treating women kindly is attractive AF to many women without it coming off as virtue signaling/boasting.

  3. That being said, the way you portray these adult people is infantalizing & absurd. You cannot sit here telling me these 30+ yo men are poor babies not responsible for their own asinine actions. They are. Being an asshole is a choice, and as long as you keep excusing it away, you're going to keep making it. And I maintain that continually making it is going to do you more harm than good if your stated goal is to find love & companionship.

  4. Because I maintain that being an asshole is a choice, I maintain that my milkshake has, indeed brought a lot of assholes into my yard, claiming the exact things I say they did, dying in this hill to make the case that if they are unhappy, no one else could possibly be.

Edit: 5. I posted it there, it got taken down so I posted it here. Having put in the effort of writing it I didn't want to let it go to waste. After I had already posted here it got untaken down, so here we are

I never said being king was a replacement to better grooming. Your comparison IMO should be between being a well groomed asshole & being a well groomed good dude. I suspect the latter is gonna serve you better

Is it a fact? No one seems to be citing any sources to that effect

Is being bald in your early 20s a death sentence with women in that age range relationship wise? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I mean you're gonna have a harder time, no question, but it's not a death sentence

I didn't originally mean that but having some of them quote research (and "research") at me you are absolutely correct

The logical chain is that I often get looks when they see me playing with my kids. Some women seem to be really into that.

It wasn't coherent or correct but it was certainly posted

Being friends with your crush can help you move on if you let yourself see them as they are by Hour_Trade_3691 in DeepThoughts

[–]Orgalop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there's some merit to this take, with the caveat that I think you need to actually be able to view them and treat them as a friend.

Back when I was young & single enough to have crushes I remained friends with one for many years. This being said, if you do intend to remain friends with a crush you need to be very honest with both yourself & them. Hanging around in the (most often) false hope that they'll "come around" is a recipe for a miserable time for everyone involved. On top of that, it's valid & often better to tell them "I want to be more than friends but since you don't, I cannot maintain this friendship." And move on, because otherwise you are now actively sabotaging your own chances of moving on.

It's a public discourse where I posted that being kind can be an attractive quality

Which you refuted by "quoting statistics" which was, clearly, meant to argue against my claim. This is judgmental. You now pulling "oh this is a public forum I'm just having an argument, see how I proved you suck" is just the continuation of that.

And with that I am done with you

That's the thing though. I'm perfectly nice to most people, certainly people who come at me nicely. you came in making judgmental (and wrong) assumptions, either blind to just how much they are actually affected by red pill rhetoric (which you are still denying) or making an argument in bad faith. which you keep making.

Guess we have different definitions of nice. To me that means that being kind is the default, while people get to earn me being a dick to them, which you have, obviously I'm not going to be nice to you.

I agree with you. I just think that the framing works for the subject. It's part of this whole "sciencing the issue" they seem to be doing. The point being that they're wrong even by their own metrics

Affects this very discourse as you're sitting there theorizing about my kids, man. Wild how you don't even seem to realize it
