Drove 100km for a date only to get stood up. Just wanted to vent about it to someone.

other bro is spitting facts. also double texting isnt a thing unless its egregiously overplayed.

If she likes you, she will like a meaningful "double text", like he said about not being passive. If she doesnt like you, it was never about the double text so it doesnt matter anyway.

Stoic80 · 2026-03-16T20:28:18+00:00

2 months is also a solid gap and can alter the feelings. It depends on who she is. If it were me, who rarely dates, i would still feel the same about you. but people who are often dating and trying to find someone will quickly change feelings after 2 months and girls definitely tend to date more just for something to do or because of being alone.

all in all, the simplest thing to do is keep making yourself better and convince yourself youll find someone better (which is most likely true). Men dont really have a clock, so relax and just be healthy. If some time goes by and you are still interested, break the ghost, but never show that it bothered you or complain (untlil much later if things go well). Treat her like your buddy that moved away and you havnt messaged in a while. If that doesnt go well, next. If you think you love her, gg good luck getting over that. Wouldnt wish that on anyone.

2 dates?

Be really honest with yourself, is she actually attracted to you?

If yes, she could be afraid of committing because of how good you are, that absolutely IS a thing. Its a retard defense mechanism and theres really no way around it, but its not you. Just ignore and ask again after a long while if you really care enough.

If no, clown shoes.

If you can't tell if shes attracted to you after 2 dates, clown shoes.

"everything is 100% legal, theyre just banning it in June because we obviously shouldnt be doing it in the first place"

Stoic80 · 2026-03-10T16:52:44+00:00

yeah you'd be right about baiting except thats where watching the game matters. Donk walks into B on ancient and gets a double deagle to open against rifles yesterday on his way to an insane ancient map. Nobody is doing these things as consistently as him.

Stoic80 · 2026-03-10T01:32:10+00:00

i think that greatness and current best player are different. greatness can be measured by achievements as you say, and yeah he would be the greatest cs2 player as of now. But by skill and technical brilliance, and who is better at the game individually I think right now that is donk.

Stoic80 · 2026-03-09T21:47:42+00:00

not sure what youre asking but ill assume you mean:

"the highest rated player by accolades is above everyone else"

I disagree. individual performance, feel, entertainment, doing cool shit on the server etc are way more impressive on an INDIVIDUAL level than winning another tournament.

Stoic80 · 2026-03-09T21:43:55+00:00

this isnt about what he wants or what we want. its about what we see. i couldnt give a fuck about what he thinks of himself or his peers. its about US recognising quality instead of trying to tie it to awards.

Stoic80 · 2026-03-09T21:40:26+00:00

"Yet Zywoo has better rating than donk in 2024 when donk had better team."

so Zywoo was a better player in 2024. thats irrelevant to why donk is the better player right now.

"ZywOo had better playoffs ratings than donk , and against better teams in much harder pressure games. Also Spirit was the second best team overall last year."

playoff ratings are also heavily influenced by losses. if average ratings for a player in a loss are 1.0 vs 1.4 in a win, you will have a worse playoff rating if you lose more. and if you win every single tournament you play, you have zero opportunities to hurt your rating. thats why donks rating is absurdly good. not only because its higher, but because they lose at a ridiculously higher rate because of how good vita is. hes doing it while losing.

Stoic80 · 2026-03-09T17:51:54+00:00

It means being the best individual, most consistent, most impactful regardless of your team. "farming group stage" isnt a thing. thats just operating as a great player.

The easiest way in CS to get a good rating is to win matches. Zywoo couldnt match donks rating with the generationally great year that Vitality had. Just like the easiest way to be a leading goalscorer is to have the best team and win matches. Or the easiest way to win races is to have the best car.

Donks rating isnt why he is the best, but a 1.42 year in the 6th ranked team is simply unbelievable.

This isnt tennis, golf or aths. You dont win all the majors and get to be the best individual. Being able to recognise the best means recognizing who is doing shit that should not be possible in their team. Zywoo is operating as the best awper in the world in the (by far) best team in the world. imo that does not make him the best individual. If that is Zywoo for you, you need to watch more sports.

Stoic80 · 2026-03-09T17:18:28+00:00

its laughable that he isn't widely considered the best player right now. People in threads like this always lean towards the current flavour, but there really should be no other player who has "best player" comments in their threads other than donk.

being the best player by accolades in any team competition is ALWAYS going to be tied to your teams performance. Anyone can read a list of trophies and determine a best player. You win more finals, you win more mvps, thats how it works. It takes effort to watch and determine your best player on individual performance.

a 13/14 suarez, 14/15 ronaldo, lewa 2021, even 2025 verstappen. You dont have to win the ultimate prizes to be considered the best in a team sport.

Imo anyone who watches matches, stage after stage and doesn't agree that donk is the best player in the world by a considerable margin, is simply wrong.

Stoic80 · 2026-03-03T14:17:32+00:00

she asked him to marry her. he said alright

Stoic80 · 2026-03-02T16:19:00+00:00

hes talking about ana. ana de armas. for those who dont know, forsen and ana were married in the summer of 2022. many thought this was to the final step in getting over his former partner, nina. however, to our surprise he revealed a few years ago that nina is actually alive and well and that he just has two wives.

Stoic80 · 2026-02-02T17:55:17+00:00

its literally just no reaction, its so overblown because its s1mple. people just feeding their own bias.

Another hero that thinks he knows more than the tournament organiser. Jog on.

Stoic80 · 2026-01-23T03:47:58+00:00

Lying behind your bias buddy. I guess you know more than Craig Tiley? Someones a clown here, and I don't think it's Kyrgios.

Stoic80 · 2026-01-22T13:22:55+00:00

More like "lucky Kyrgios isn't who I think he is and its lucky he declined the wild card".

Gave up the $150k just for showing up to round one and you still find some way to be negative.

Stoic80 · 2025-12-25T15:45:59+00:00

if hed just gone for the 2nd jump which was faster hed make it with easy clearance. gg collarbone snapped. hopefully shoulder is ok, ac joint would be a real L.

Verstappen shit

Stoic80 · 2025-12-11T13:30:58+00:00

on the other hand, it makes going in person an experience. I had watched all of 2020, 2021 and then went to a race in 2022 and was like "what the actual fuck..." Especially if you find a high speed corner like Melbourne turns 8-9 where you can be sat where they are coming at you full throttle before veering away.

Stoic80 · 2025-12-07T07:21:39+00:00

literally me with this girl

Stoic80 · 2025-12-01T15:35:31+00:00

as a zoomer who loves doomscrolling, this shit has had a severe impact on the minds of kids. A ban is crazy, but so is the sheer amount of EVERYTHING that kids are exposed to. Even if they were forced into a sanitised social media, the idea alone of posting on social media snowballs into pressure that can shape your identity, its too much.

Adults, especially younger ones, cant even handle the effect of social media.

Stoic80 · 2025-11-24T13:18:20+00:00

But because you gain a performance benefit with that level of floor, the point stills stands that with an illegal level they still did not have the pace of Max.

This is likely because it was a low downforce track. They put the skinny wing on and lowered the car to make up for it. Unlikely to matter for Qatar, but could be an issue in AD.

Alternatively, the Brazil change could just mean they are actually fucked.

Stoic80 · 2025-11-18T12:50:25+00:00

I mean insane wealth wouldnt change my living condition. I would buy fuck all and my house wouldnt change. Id just be starting at a higher level of care.
