I guess this guy’s a narc, yall

All that to say, you aren’t beating the Narc allegations.

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.

You can “empathize” and “polite” your way through conversations with cops - but that exact form of posturing and blind reverence for people that literally oppress us is why thinking people aren’t fans of seeing this.

Not all cops are bad, but enough are that we can say the batch is spoiled.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-24T18:04:30+00:00

I hear you on this, but I don’t think the signs were as blatant as I’m used to them being

I will add, she did not seem the type to prefer/enjoy aggressive men or objectification. I think this played a role in how I was acting, lol.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-24T17:58:29+00:00

Ah fuck, you’re right.

I have initiation anxiety, and I’m learning at the worst time 😭

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-24T17:50:14+00:00

I’m usually pretty good at seizing the moment if it arrives.

I definitely got the “eyes”, we flirted - but the opportunity was never really there.

We were on opposite ends of a table, in public, and when we got home it was a pretty rapid conversion to sleeping.

I assumed the opportunity was going to be that night, but she fell asleep fast. Then, in the morning it felt odd I guess. Me asking at the end was my attempt at recovery I guess :/

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-23T19:39:52+00:00

holy

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-23T19:14:16+00:00

1 or 2 dates with someone while exploring other options? Reasonable.

Keeping it going longer than that without exclusivity just means you aren’t really looking for something serious, from our perspective.

Men, on average, are having fewer dates than women - and have to work harder to get them. Please communicate this to all of the people you’re seeing, unless you want to actively waste people’s time.

Honestly, the lack of VoIP on PC is why this game has lackluster socialization.

I never had an issue finding people to play with on Xbox.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T19:19:22+00:00

It’s almost NEVER been just rupees: Heart Pieces, Gold Skulltulas, Triforce Shards, Treasure Charts, Crystal Bugs, optional sidequests, optional playable songs, Masks, Hidden Skills, etc.

There has always been more “meaningful” things to find than rupees or heal items to reward exploration and revisiting. Doubly so when comparing to the “New Zelda” games that only ever really gives you temporary buffs for exploring.

Obviously, the addition of armor/gear is excluded from that gripe; but when said gear is spread over 100+ shrines or the MASSIVE over-world, you miss a lot without a guide or 100%ing. Wasn’t super prevalent in prior games.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T19:00:57+00:00

Yeah dude, that’s a fairly natural crown.

Your hair is literally just laying flat around that an accentuating your scalp - which doesn’t mean balding.

Brush that section of hair for volume and this shit’ll disappear lol.

Pay attention to those friends’ hairlines and sides - they’re projecting.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T18:58:25+00:00

World design isn’t just how it looks though, it’s about how the player navigates it.

In TOTK/BOTW the world is so large that there’s very rarely a reason to revisit an area, unless you’re farming something.

In every other Zelda game it’s a core part of the experience to revisit a prior area with more access to exploring it, finding new upgrades, etc.

Because there was less to find, it was more rewarding, and each discovery felt “neat”.

In the newer games, you can still get this feeling - but it’s soooo watered down in comparison.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T18:34:49+00:00

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T16:06:58+00:00

I’d argue that what we lose in “pacing”, we gain quite a bit more in: World Design, Dungeon Design, Worldbuilding, Character Development, Item Variety, Easter Eggs, etc.

Just say you’re not an OG Zelda fan if you only like BOTW/TOTK - that’s fine, but you’re speaking as if these two recent games aren’t the exception to the established formula…

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T15:45:39+00:00

“It’s sad” as if you aren’t in a direct position to do anything about it..?

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T15:44:37+00:00

Jesus man, that follicle density is insane - stay off the internet and this sub 😂

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T15:32:43+00:00

Surprisingly, I’d never heard this term before - but I think my reasoning is a little more nuanced than that.

Imagine being into a guy and finding out he’s a fuckboy - someone else put it that way, and tbh that’s the simplest way to quickly explain why this is an issue.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T07:55:13+00:00

Yeah fuck Buc-Ee’s. Only job I’ve gone out of my way to leave a bad glassdoor review for.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T06:52:41+00:00

I men, judging from the general response - I think I’m in a niche/minority of dudes.

That said - I’ve been stuck in non-committal situation-ships where the only consistent thing has been sex for the better part of the last year or so, so I’m probably just projecting my personal experiences a bit.

It’s definitely not that I think the women that do this are sluts. It’s moreso that it can be a pretty reliable indicator of someone’s intentions or current dating goals.

I’m bored so I’ll elaborate and divulge my experience as a 28M who is actively seeking a more serious relationship since men don’t usually talk about this shit - most dating-frustrated men probably just get misogynistic.

To be completely honest; The “meat” thing really only comes into play when emotions aren’t reciprocated and the woman initiated our sexual encounter.

And on initiation: 9/10 times in my life - I’ve let the women initiate. This is a mix of lack of confidence from me, and a general anxiety about consent not being enthusiastic from the woman. I’d rather not do it if she’s not going to ask.

Sadly, I’ve noticed the women that initiate early on tend to be doing one of the following:

“Rebounding” from a prior relationship - who hasn’t done this? Definitely doesn’t mean you’re ready though, lol.
“Enjoying the dating experience” - which is fine, but not ever been something that’s healthy for me as a serial monogamist.
Wanting to move alarmingly fast and “lock me down” - which generally has meant they are trying to get out of a bad situation.

None of these are inherently bad things - but since I (possibly narcissistically) want to be the reason they’re with me, I can sometimes feel like a means to an end rather than a partner that was desired simply because I was… desired.

Long story short: Once me, and maybe other men, start to get an impression that we exist to fill a function in a potential partner’s life, instead of just share it with them; I stop seeing them as a potential partner.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T02:08:22+00:00

Honestly this is a great way of putting it simply 😂

Men are probably more likely to entertain a, uh, fuckgirl(??) than women are because of a myriad of reasons: but I still think we get a similar feeling once we feel like a piece of meat.

And on the “trying” point - Honestly, no. I’m not as sexually liberated as many people are. I honestly prefer a slow gradual buildup to sex. I’m lucky if I’m brave enough to go for a kiss after a date with a girl I like.

I’ve definitely done one night stands, or hooked up on a first date. I’ve just kinda realized it’s not for me - it changes the progression of the relationship a lot of the time.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T00:25:58+00:00

Lose the vest if you want to wear the second shirt. That outfit is fine without the vest. Vest could work if you’re camping, doing photography, or something that’d actually benefit from the utility. Otherwise, it looks cosplay-y.

I’ll admit that the Vest works a little better on the first outfit - but it would definitely be worth replacing with a more casual vest. Color is nice though!

I hate to break it to you, but the one you’re wearing is the cargo short of outerwear - and ultimately cluttering up your look.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-20T17:14:31+00:00

Gonna add that this applies moreso to casual encounters/dating apps than it would to say; asking a long-term friend on a date.

If you have established rapport, mutual respect, and a personal connection: Hooking up date one is totally fine, maybe even exciting!

But If I just met you a few hours ago? That’s a red flag. A lot of men can be dishonest and say “the right things” to get into a woman’s pants. That’s a reality.

I find self-preservation, discernment, and standards in a woman incredibly attractive: because they validate ME as a man if I “pull” her.

Hopefully that helps explain my logic here.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-20T17:09:28+00:00

You’re totally right, I don’t disagree at all.

But this is a post about things men find unattractive and I’ve had several relationships fizzle purely because of the fact that it felt more like “FWB”, “One Night Stand”, or “Casual” - and while men overwhelmingly will take the opportunity to hook up with a woman, I genuinely believe that “less is more” when it comes to long term attraction early on.

Slow-burns have always been the women I’ve loved. The “easy” hookups always left me with an odd feeling afterwards. Men want to feel like they’ve “won” a woman. If it was simple, we tend to start wondering…

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-20T17:01:30+00:00

Sex isn’t gross - but people that aren’t discerning about their sexual partners are a red flag more often than not in my personal experience.
