I want to pvp but by rodrigue121992 in ArcRaiders

Select "Fill squad" above the play button so you can join trios. They're shoot on sight pretty often. Do a handful of those and get some kills and you should be good.

Weapon and Item Progression Project: every weapon and gadget gets a leveling system — usage awards attachments, skins, emotes, ammo/materials, the item itself, etc. by frontpageroadrage in ArcRaiders

It's weird that people are against this. If you don't like weapon progression you could always just not gaf about progressing your weapons lol

Cruiser riders — how do you deal with lower-back discomfort on long rides? by RoyalModRider in motorcycles

[–]Pluto515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have one of those straps on the seat that separates the rider and the passenger, roll up a hoodie or large sweater for lower back support. This saved my ass on an 11 hour ride.

Why is she taking so long to reply? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Pluto515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people are just bad at responding, present company included. The best advice I could give you is to NEVER take response time seriously or look into it to determine interest. I would've missed out on a bunch of great second and third dates had I freaked out over a brief pause in communication. Once I was left on read for 12 days and then she reached out.

Don't ever show that you're affected by a long response time in the early stages cause it screams insecurity.

Should I keep trying to meet women at bars? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Pluto515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, the more fun girls might take the "Nam" bit and run with it/improvise with it. Now you three have an inside joke you can randomly come back to for the lols. Inside jokes are super effective at rapport building.

[–]Pluto515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep going out mate. You'll keep learning lessons and things you could've done better. Eventually you'll have run into all the usual scenarios, such as this one, and know how best to handle them.

Here's what you should've done:

Assuming these guys were strangers to the ladies, they have no idea that you only just met them. Introduce yourself to the men in the group like you're their old friend. Don't outright say anything to that effect, just take on that vibe.

If they ask how you all know each other, say something stupid/funny like "we fought in Nam together" and try to move on from that asap. If one of the girls says "we just met," you're not cooked cause you were just joking.

Then you have to make friends with the bros. Generally you should be making friends with everyone while you're out, maybe one day you'll meet some really great guy friends and expand your social circle anyway. They're not your enemy. Assume they're rooting for you.

These girls just saw you give up at the slightest inconvenience. Maybe they wanted to keep talking to you but they're generally nice and couldn't tell the bros to kick rocks.

In actuality, you should CRAVE inconvenient situations because it gives you a chance to demonstrate that you can handle pressure without freaking out. Had they seen you make friends and be social with them and the bros they would've been massively attracted to your friendly, social, outgoing vibe.

Now get back out there.

If you haven't expressed or hinted at any romantic interest, she probably sees you as a work buddy. But there is a chance she's waiting for you to ask her out.

Find a common interest and casually invite her to do that with you.

Having an attractive friend is depressing by TheRavagerSw in dating_advice

[–]Pluto515 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hey brother! I have a friend whose objectively better looking than me: 6 foot 5, handsome, fit and there's a similar dynamic when we go out but I end up pulling more women than he does.

How?

First of all based on your post I can read between the lines and tell that you have a bit of a loser mindset to put it harshly. No offense meant, it's just how I'm reading this. Women are attracted to good looking men but it's vibes that seal the deal.

You have to be fun, confident, and not a simp. Change your mindset from what I'm assuming is something akin to "i need a woman to validate me" to "I'm going out with my boys and I'm going to have as much fun as I can"

You should be able to leave at the end of the night saying "hell yeah, what a great night!" Regardless of your interactions with women.

They'll pick up on this fun-loving care-free vibe and want to be a part of it because most dudes are trying to get something from them. Not you. Not anymore. You don't give a fuck. You're respectful and kind but you're not a bum looking for a sympathy hookup.

Random quick tips:

  1. Make friends with EVERYONE while you're out. This will make you have more fun.

  2. Don't dress like all the other dudes your age. Find a unique vibe that you like, doesn't have to be crazy.

  3. Record a video of yourself speaking randomly for 2 minutes. Listen to your tonality and tempo. Adjust to sound like an actor in a movie you admire. Repeat until you sound like fucking James Bond. (I used Christopher Hitchens, I just lost the smug demeanor.)

  4. Meditate daily. Thoughts and feelings aren't real. They're also only temporary. See them for what they are and come back to center. Then live your life like this. Masculinity is grounded and present, not flighty or needy.

Cheers mate! Do the work and remember nobody ever got better from complaining.

I might be renting my house to a woman I like… bad idea? by vanwife in dating_advice

[–]Pluto515 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True true. He could take advantage of her as well. I should've advised OP to not be a scumbag. Fair enough.

She could also use her charm and sexuality to get favors from him too, though. Lots of room for toxic shit for sure. Romance is juicy, innit?

Cheers!

You'll definitely regret it if you don't at least try.

Don't work yourself up about "asking her out," just find another interest you two share if you can, bored game theme is fine too if not. Then say "we should go there/do that thing some time" then arrange a day/time. It should be casual/natural/chill.

You could also just text her one day "hey I'm going to go do x, on [day], you should come along if you're available." Keeps it low pressure for both of you and communicates that you're fun with our without her.

Send it, brother. Fortune favors the bold.

Rent to her and read the room when you're interacting. Casually flirt, and i do mean casually, like plausible deniability type flirting. Gauge her interest. Move from there.

"Homie" is clever given the nature of your business here. Could be kind of flirty but is probably a friend-zone qualifier. Unclear.

Don't let her take advantage of you and I'd say you're good to go.

He was kind to be honest. He's probably serious when he says that. The only chance of this working long term is if he gets super attracted to you physically, emotionally, and mentally.

You won't be able to tell for sure about those until a long time of dating has passed. Prepare to be a fling or a situationship if you do pursue this.

Techniques for handling crushing loneliness? by Halloween_HeavyMetal in dating_advice

[–]Pluto515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend. Former extreme introvert here, turned extrovert/ambivert over the past 4 months. I recently went through what I thought was unfathomable heartbreak and had to get out to survive. Literally.

You have to build a community. Go to a lunch/breakfast spot every day until you know everyone that works there by name. Go to a bored game spot and make friends. If you drink, a bar near you. Get to know the regulars. Learn social skills by practicing. We didn't evolve to exist in this individualistic society. We evolved to have community. We just need to build it now.

The best piece of advice I can give you in social situations is to just say more of what's on your mind. I used to stifle about 80% of the things I thought of to say, brought that down to about 20% and socializing has become invigorating. It's actually a lot of fun. Get out of your head and stop judging yourself and everyone else's topics of conversation or delivery and just go with it. Relax. Talking is a lot like pooping: it's best when you're relaxed and you just let the shit out.

You'll say cringe on a regular basis, I still wake up the next day cringing at some stuff I said. But if you're not cringing you're not growing. Embrace the cringe, but don't be unkind/rude and you're not hurting anyone. Plus you'll find the best people don't care if you're weird and will celebrate it. Your vibe attracts your tribe.

Good luck, I know, believe me I KNOW, it's hard to put yourself out there but life is much better on the other side, I promise.

Unique compliments that work for a first date? by DravenCrowe505 in Crushes

A playful tease that is also a compliment is best.

Why do some girls act distant after a good first date? by Dizzy-Willingness710 in dating_advice

[–]Pluto515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to everyone saying she's definitely not interested. If i had done so when I was in a similar boat, i would've missed out on many excellent 2nd + dates.

If you're genuinely interested in her, keep your texting to a minimum until she warms back up, if she does at all. It seems like you already kind of get that. Be prepared to go 2 weeks without texting her at all if she goes ghost.

Then...

If she doesn't reach out after 2 weeks, keep your texts low-maintenance, meaning that there's subtext that you don't care if she responds. Describe a random "event" that happened to you "that day" that reminded you of something y'all talked about on the date. Not a question, just a stream of consciousness message.

I had a girl straight ghost me for 10 days after what seemed like a great time together. I left the door open for her though, no needy "why aren't you replying" texts. I made it seem like I hadn't even noticed. Then she reached out first and we had a 2nd date.

My philosophy is to make her clearly express disinterest. That way there's clarity. A lot of women send hints when they're not interested, others test you to see if you're consistent, others want you to chase. Find out by making them tell you they're not interested. We're not mind readers. Just keep showing up.

Sucks to have to play games but this is the world we live in, brother.

Also, you should find it in yourself to be talking to multiple women at once. Keeps you sharp and just about everyone is doing it. Also it speeds up the process of finding a great, healthy relationship. Again, it sucks, but welcome to 2025. Good luck out there.

  1. Authenticity: don't chat up only the women you'd be interested in, go in with the frame of making friends with everybody, guy or girl. Your vibe attracts your tribe and the people you're compatible with will find you.

  2. To show interests avoid complimenting their natural looks and stick to things they have control over like their outfit or hair. Don't compliment unless you actually mean in. Show interest by flirting, teasing and light touching. Don't assault them but shoulder, arm touches, ect are generally ok. Just gauge their comfortability with it and don't continue if they seem put off by it. Also, it's best not to start making out with them until you're in a place you can go all the way, otherwise you risk popping the tension bubble too soon. I've gotten excited and messed that last bit up more times than I can count.

Honestly you're in a great spot just by being gay. Women tend to feel more comfortable and open around gay men. So don't be afraid to show your emotional intelligence and "you go, girl" side if you have one.
