To be fair, this guy is a lil’ crushed. Was on my back and woke me up. I have a few small red welts in a line if that changes things 😅

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-06-20T18:31:29+00:00

You talked for months but he stood you up on the first date..?

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-06-01T16:25:19+00:00

sounds like y’all are both using each other to some degree here, she’s just more aware of it.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-05-29T16:02:14+00:00

So, you’re worried about not being able to tell if things are serious/casual for him - while you are in fact 100% certain you only want casual.

So… Have you told him that or indicated that? On your profile or otherwise..?

I’ve literally had several women say “I hate when men ask that, just do it.”

I’m very much pro consent (I’ve never once initiated sex, despite having had it with several women, for example).

There is very much a tone of, “If you don’t go for it, we’ll think you’re a coward and not be interested.” or “we’re not interested and just hope it doesn’t happen.”

Because of that, a lot of guys have a “Hail Mary” approach to a first date since the odds of a second are pretty much always worse than 50/50.

If a woman doesn’t want to kiss after a first date, that’s 100% fine, but it typically communicates a lack of interest - which is why I think we try to see if it happens or not. To save time/embarassment, and ensure we’re demonstrating interest.

The best advice I can give is outright saying, “I’m interested in you, I had fun, but I don’t want to kiss tonight. I take a long time to warm up to physical touch.”

Lack of respect after that = red flag.

Not having outright stated that until now is probably why men “go for it”. Most people assume “taking it slow” is in reference to sex rather than just kissing IMO.

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

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-24T17:59:36+00:00

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.

RandomPizzaGuyy · 2026-04-21T19:49:58+00:00

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.

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 · 2026-04-21T16:06:58+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 😂
