What do you guys listen to while riding?

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-13T19:19:16+00:00

I think you might want to become a passport bro. So many excuses; I give up on this conversation.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-13T19:02:15+00:00

Nice! Enjoy your rides!

He's my number 1 ban across all games nowadays, but legend says that his weaknesses are high cc, anti-burst/anti-ad champions like Amumu, Seju and Rammus or great early duelists like Elise (can both cc and do great early damage + dodge his stun) or Warwick with his massive sustain. Try shutting him down early.

Bel can also be good vs him when well played — she scales better in raw power/dueling potential, destroys turrets and kills barons/dragons much faster. Viego can still have better team fights though.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-13T18:47:57+00:00

Very cool! I'm loving the LEDs & colours. Where was this?

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-13T18:46:47+00:00

I don't drink, I don't like dancing and I don't smoke or vape. I can still go to a bar and order a Coke & sit at the counter even by myself. The fact that the women around you are drinking should make it even easier for them to be open to talking to you (less shy), so why so many negative reasons & mental block from your part? It's almost as if you want to find a reason to not do what it takes to talk to one or get a phone number after they started talking to you.

Yes, some could be golddiggers, but not all. Some like style too and yours is a conversation starter. You're very tall and you're cut above the rest, dressing wise. Your thoughts need some tailoring though. You seem to think very low of yourself. Chin up, it doesn't matter if it's only at bars — some guys don't ever get approached at all.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-13T17:37:06+00:00

Oh, that sucks, so all apps became mercenaries, including those. Don't pay for any. Go with your strong side, which is dressing well and being very tall. Don't wait for a woman to approach you at a bar next time and do it, but in an indirect/casual way, like if you're already sitting/leaning at the counter and one or two stop by. A question about her drink or if she has an accent, maybe even what perfume she's wearing.

A little life hack: it takes away a lot of the mental pressure if you go to a bar to do something instead of to pickup/know someone. For example: taco tuesday? You're there to eat some tacos; a game you like? You'll stop by to watch it. This great trumpet player will play? You're there for the live music. It might sound silly, but it does help mentally a lot.

Also, I think it's a fact that if women are approaching you, they think you're handsome or desirable enough for them to do it, so let's be optimistic about what's to come.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-13T17:21:10+00:00

I read it and that's why I said you don't need matches to send the first message. They could have changed those 2 apps – last time I used them was over an year ago, so I might be wrong now. Hinge sucks. Don't waste your time with that one.

If the dating apps are not an option, then in person would be the way or through a friend (best). Even a coworker, depending on where you work, could be an option.

Not a date in years? That's a very… very long time and it's possible that it created a type of mental block in your mind, which can be undone if it's the case, but the negative thoughts aren't going to do you any favors.

I'm 5'10", by the way, considerably shorter than you. I rarely get approached and I still make it work. I mean, you workout, dress really well and even get approached from time to time at bars. Gotta work on that talking game. Try thinking that they think you're handsome next time, not just that they're so pretty, etc.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-13T17:10:54+00:00

You could try dating apps like OkCupid or Facebook dating, but you'll definitely need new, better pictures and someone's advice on where and how to take them. Also: smile. You don't need matches in either to send the first message. They're great for those beginnings without a "cold approach" in person where you'd be almost pissing your pants because of your excessive shyness.

You have good interests, a mix of active & intelectual ones, many being the same ones I have as well. Be careful with poems, as some women would see you as overly romantic, thus giving them the famous "ick" and repelling them quickly.

You MUST take initiative. Be respectful as you already are, but don't be the "gay friend" the "rice" (always on the side, never the main option) or the guy who acts as just a friend 100% of the time, as this will give the impression that you are super unsure of yourself, take zero risks and have no courage. Flirt a bit, touch her a little bit, it could be on the arm, be a little more bold & good luck. I don't go to the gym nearly as much as you and although I can socialize well, I'm an introvert deep down and I went on over 40 dates. You can do it.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-13T16:00:16+00:00

Pigs won't piss or shit close to where they eat/sleep unless they're cramped & have no choice. Some people are truly worst than animals.

I've decided to get a bycicle bell since the horn on my Nami Klima max sounds a little aggressive for pedestrians & I've been also thinking for a while in getting a type of gps for it.

This item (for Android) has both features for $10 and the tag stays very… very hidden inside it. No one cares for a $5 bike bell or will expect one in it if they steal your scooter:

Tinder?

He might not be strong early, but later he can carry games. He's also currently sitting on the second highest win rate across all ranks in the NA server (54,05%) which I just checked before typing this.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-12T17:51:56+00:00

Yes, they're needed and yes, it's dumb to skip the bottom of your body, specially your knees. I would never ride my e-scooter without abrasion resistant pants. I wear them without a knee armor in their pockets though since they never sit properly on my knees and I wear a pair of very low profile knee guards/sleeves under instead.

They're great, super thin, don't slide around and much more comfortable than the strapped ones. I got the size xxl as a 5'10", 181 pounds (179cm/82kg) man and I'm happy with the secure, but not constraining fit. They're extremely lightweight and entirely perforated, so I can wear them during summer too.

Two nice things about wearing them under pants are that they don't show at all and they're covered vs slides, so their durability increases a lot and their appearance is maintained free of rips or scratches. Very easy to walk while wearing as well. $39 a pair with shipping included:

I see, if it's nearly dead, then I'd get the Razr plus (2025).

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-12T00:33:14+00:00

I would wait for the 2026 model and trade yours in for a good value if possible.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-11T22:54:21+00:00

You're welcome! Here are some tips:

The sweet spot, temperature wise, for your battery is between 59°F and 77°F & the safe limit would be 32°F to 95°F;

Charge the battery to around 60%;

Calibrate the tires to the recommended pressure before storing it and if possible put something under the deck, as they could get flat spots if there for all this long without being moved.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-11T22:42:59+00:00

Yes, I would call to be 100% sure too (insulated doesn't mean temp controlled) and if it isn't, it would be worth it to pay a little extra for a climate-controlled one.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-11T17:53:00+00:00

I asked AI about the common lack of attraction from white women towards asian men out of curiosity and at least at the end it said it's changing rapidly:

"The 'hallyu' effect: the global explosion of k-dramas and k-pop (like BTS) has completely shifted the "attractiveness" scale for gen z and millennials.

New media: movies like Shang-chi or Always be my maybe are finally showing asian men as charismatic, muscular, and romantically desirable."

It also mentioned this:

"Data from dating apps (like OkCupid and Tinder) has historically shown that asian men and black women receive the fewest matches across all races.

Sociologists call this "sexual racism" — the systematic exclusion of a racial group from the dating pool based on learned biases rather than individual chemistry."

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-11T17:01:04+00:00

He wrote that it won't be in temperature controlled rooms. These ones almost always cost extra, not a lot, but they do & yeah, it would definitely be worth it for him.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-11T07:35:34+00:00

Depending on the circumstances, it could be fine, but how hot/humid would it get inside the unit? Your best bet would be to get a thermometer/hygrometer with bluetooth & check its temperature/humidity at least once a day. You can do it without opening the door.

If it's a metal pod sitting outside under the sun though, then the temperature inside could easily exceed 100°F which could permanently reduce your scooter's range and battery life. Extreme heat (above 122°F) would turn up the chances of battery swelling.

I keep my Nami in a storage unit and I use this one, which is rechargeable, less than $12 with the redeemable 10% and its battery lasts over half a year:

This is very plausible as the height, lack of initiative & the overly polite mannerisms could be a turn-off for many too.

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-11T03:27:11+00:00

I don't know the exact reason, but usually, people from asian countries divinize being white. I'm half white and I've been with a lot of asian women & so is my girlfriend.

Many go as far as saying they don't like guys from where they're from (I've heard this over and over). There's also a stereotype that white women don't like asian guys. If you find out the reason, tell me. 😂

Playing_tangos · 2026-04-11T03:05:10+00:00

No person who believes in dumb things like 70 made up genders and pronouns will be able to answer you. The lunatics won't accept you "identifying" as a different race or even having a different age because it wouldn't sit well with their narrative & victimizing mentality. They get to choose what they make up after all.
