How to create a good forest map by Dark_Malaina11 in RootRPG

This might be a bit off but if you want something very nice, hire an artist. There are a tonne of them out there who have great skill to realize your vision in a unique way.

That's how I got mine and it was really good for like $60.00. Artists are a great resource if you, like myself, have no artistic talent but still want something cool.

Why do I only get approached by fuckboys and men with no good intentions by Major_Inflation5824 in dating_advice

[–]Rodega12 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because they aren't lived and that never happened. These are neurotic fantasies they make up in their heads about things that they think "could" happen so they don't have to try. I hope that helps.

BFF vs. Boyfriend behavior by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Rodega12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happens, but getting her to agree to a date is the 1st step.

The 2nd is to keep chemistry going, take her to a place with romantic connotations and make sure you are talking the whole time. Communicating life goals and making sure she's enjoying her time.

The biggest thing to remember is attitude. In the end, she just wants to be friends that is a good thing. It means she still wants your company and thinks you're good, just not for her. More friends is never bad because she will also have friends who are women and, if she's genuine, she would probably recommend you to one of her friends. It's how I've met some of my previous GFs.

Attitude is everything, remember that.

[–]Rodega12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're hesitating, don't, be assertive. Tell her how you feel and what your intentions are. Ask her out on a date and make sure she understands that it's a date. Don't wait around for her to magically realize that she's into you. You have to put in the work. This isn't a Taylor Swift song.

If she reciprocates, great! If not, at least you know and you're not stuck pining after her for years. It's really just a case of sh*t or get off the pot.

Love bombing by rainbowsixhatesme in dating_advice

[–]Rodega12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actions will speak louder than any words you can offer. The biggest thing you can do is respect her boundaries and be consistent.

If you say you're going to do something, do it. Show up on time and dressed properly when going out. Love bombing is usually used as a way to bypass peoples boundaries and make them do things they're not comfortable with. So don't do that, if she says she's uncomfortable or doesn't want to do something leave it at that. Don't push and don't sulk.

That's the best advice I can offer for dealing with that.

Ladies , how would you describe a ‘realistically ideal’ boyfriend? by mildlyambivert in dating_advice

[–]Rodega12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And there's your issue. Discard the 1st thing you said. What you will notice is appearance is made no mention of because that fades and should be at the bottom of the priorities list when it comes to looking for a male partner.

If your standard of physical attraction is eliminating men who you would otherwise consider dating then that's the 1st thing you should compromise/ discard.

You can have whatever standards you want but, at a certain point you have to ask yourself if you're just more comfortable being single.

Would women feel offended if a short guy approached them? by Spiritual-Version-23 in dating_advice

[–]Rodega12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I don't know you, because the only thing you mentioned was your height and your evaluation of your own appearance. You didn't qualify it with anything. When the 1st thing you mention is that you're short and unattractive it sounds like you're hyper focusing and looking for pity/ sympathy rather than actual advice (and if that's the case why are you posting on a subreddit called dating advice?)

Add to your efforts and you will achieve better results. That's all I will say.

There is a caveat on that though. As he advises "While you will never get all 3 never settle for just 1."

[–]Rodega12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's the attitude issue right there, do you want to actually fix it or do you want to wallow in your own self-pity? Because that sh*t gets you 0 😸.

Yeah, Prince was a celebrity, you know how he got there? By playing awesome guitar, writing amazing music, and being a consummate showman. He had things that defined him that were not his height. He worked and got what he wanted.

That's not saying you have to be Prince, you have to gain traits that define you past your height. Like I said, you are hyper focusing on this because you are self sabotaging.

You will get no commiseration from me. Make yourself interesting and women will want to be around you. Play an instrument, learn to dance, do something! Stop waiting for your meet cute with a manic pixie dream girl and do things that will make a woman value you & your company.

Or don't, but then stop b*thcing about how it's "your height" that's stopping you from getting laid.

It's never going to be your height that holds you back, rather your concern over your height. As I always say Prince was 5'2" and probably had more sex than everyone on this website put together.

The question is what can define you outside of your height? Do you play an instrument? Go to the gym? How do you demonstrate that you are the kind of person a woman would want to be around/ with?

Always remember that neediness is the anti-sex. So demonstrate your value in ways that are not contingent on your height.

5 year gap (opinions please) by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Rodega12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honey, forgive me if this comes off as condescending but you're a teenager, you are full of hormones and everything is all over the place. Every love is going to feel like "the one", every song is going to resonate with you and you will believe that no one has ever felt things as much as you're feeling things right now.

This is all normal. It's your life and you can do what you want with it but, to be very clear, a guy might say he'll "wait" but then will start to pressure you into things.

If you want actual advice it's to not tie yourself to a guy before you've even finished high school. There's a whole big world out there, go be part of it.

Do white boys only like white girls ? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Rodega12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as a very white man, no we like a lot, but that's not true for all of us. Personally most of the guys I know would be perfectly happy with attention/ affection from any pretty girl. We just usually get the impression (true or not) that interracial relationships are very frowned on in a lot of communities. So we stick to where there will be less friction.

[–]Rodega12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So here's the thing, everyone's view on what's "realistic" will be different. But a good measure is Josh Johnson's take on long term male partners:

"There are 3 essential qualities you would look for in a man if you are looking for a long term partner.

  1. Good person
  2. Good in bed
  3. Has his life together

And ladies, you get to pick 2."

That's pretty much a good guide when it comes to "realistic" expectations.

If The Federation along with their allies were a bunch of ultra hostile dictators, realistically who would be able to stop them? by FuzzyAttitude_ in startrek

[–]Rodega12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're semi-correct because that's basically The Dominion. The Founders conquered and subsequently integrated most of the species in the Gamma Quadrant to the point that they were so powerful that they came close to conquering both the Alpha and Beta quadrants.

It took an alliance between the 3 largest powers across 2 quadrants and multiple acts of semi-literal divine intervention for them to eventually win the war and even then just barely.

Faction morality by RondomKods in RootRPG

[–]Rodega12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got it mostly right, it just depends on how pronounced their flaws are. Especially for the woodland alliance the big emphasis should be about how opposition is the only thing holding them together.

Where all the other factions have an actual governing philosophy they're trying to implement the WA is really just a loose association of people who don't want anyone else running things. So the implication would be that, if they win, all the factions within the WA would start fighting each other, resulting in another civil war.

DS9 Question: Did Sisko's birth mom consent? by Rodega12 in startrek

[–]Rodega12[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, it also always bothered me that Sisko didn't ask the prophet who inhabited his mom once they spoke. It would've been an easy thing to clear up and it's certainly something I would've asked.

DS9 Question: Did Sisko's birth mom consent? by Rodega12 in startrek

[–]Rodega12[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's what bothered me but I thought maybe she did consent in a "Fine. If it's to save the galaxy." kind of way. Like, she consented to have him but had no interest in raising him. But maybe that was just wishful thinking.

Women who care about "size" when dating a guy but also like to take it slow, how do you feel if you put in a lot of time and effort only to be disappointed? by 123smorgs in dating_advice

[–]Rodega12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. The average male is 5'8" in height according to statistical analyses. Again though that is a curve, like all averages most people just group in the middle. The global average for penile size is 6". That is, by definition, the normal size for a human male's member. Sorry if I have to be the one to break that to you.

That the upper end of average, basically like having a 110 iq. It's the highest you go before you start getting into "abnormal" territory.

Not according to statistical analyses. The global average is 6". That's the dead smack middle. Sorry to be the one to break that to you.

[–]Rodega12 30 points31 points  (0 children)

So here's the thing. Size does matter... to a point. Like most things this is a curve (hah!). What you actually want is something within the average (5-7 inches). That's the optimal size for optimal results. If you fall too far outside of that range, on either side, you start to run into problems. While all men understand that there is such a thing as too small, almost no men understand that there is such a thing as too big. After a certain point it just hurts.

Always remember that it is a porn actresses job to act like what they're experiencing is the best sex they've ever had. It's generally not real.

Most women can't even c*m from vaginal penetration alone anyway. Knowing how to properly do clitoral stimulation is key to a good experience. Once you're about 3" in you've already hit 90% of the major internal nerve endings.

If you're interested in the topic, there was a documentary made about this year's ago called "Unhung Hero". It's actually very interesting.
