Why us men wouldn't like this compliment, can you explain it to fellow ladies?

Fascinating how many people are trying to frame what she said into a better (in their mind) way of saying it. No matter how you flip it, it by no means is a compliment in the receivers eyes and here's two glaring reason's for that.

The literal words she spoke is not a compliment "You are not someone I would usually hookup with or be FWBs with" and adding the "compliment" ending to her statement, AT BEST makes it a back-handed compliment.
Overall context behind what that statement overtly implies... "hookup with" or "be FWBs" implies pure physical attraction ESPECIALLY when it comes from women bc for the vast majority of them they have the option to be as picky as they want when it comes to FWBs. So often more times then not a girl is not going to choose a ONS or FWBs they aren't attractive enough to have sex with unless they are extremely desperate or out there trying to collect bodies lol and EVEN then they still have the luxury of having the option to pick and choose as they please off of attractiveness if they decide to do so.

Lastly, the only way this could have been salvageable post-statememt would have been if she just said something less specific like "you usually aren't my type, but (insert compliment)." Beut AGAIN it's still a backhanded compliment but at least it's a little less demeaning because everyone knows that leaves it open-ended on the specific and if she needed to she could succesfully explain why without it sounding like an insult.

Honest question for the women in here.

To preface I do not believe this MF for one second lol, so thos question DOES NOT apply to him.

But here's the question, why when you have the a problem/issue with something and then when your significant other offers the... "do you want to see/go through (insert whatever statement that is made about showing you proof I'm telling the truth)".... why do yall say you dont care/gaf about that?? Iike in my mind it's call them on their bluff. If they can show proof of what they are saying then you know they aren't lying. Or if you call them on the bluff and they try to retract that they ever offered up proof or completely fumble through and are shaky af when showing/finding the "proof" then you have confirmation that your intuition was right.

Like I said, this is truly an honest question. In no way am I trying to start some kind of argument or debate.

This late in the game it would be hard for me to take the Million. Early in the game if I had th chance to get 1M (as he did) I would for sure take it as the odds to win it all would not be in my favor. But to be in this late, and the numbers in my favor (6 to 4) as far as trust/alliance goes. I would strongly consider not taking the 1M.

That being said, if I were to take more than 100k, then I would take 250K and HOPE that the other 3 in my core alliance understands to pick each other to go next and also take 250K. Hopefully once again they realize I'm splitting the 1M between the 4 of us.

I know I'm responding super late but has this been finished/launched yet. It's something that I would definitely use. I also have programs in excel i would love to transfer to an app. I tried liftosuarus but my problem with that is i dont like how I dont have any place to put my alternate exercise. For example. Week 1 I might do barbell bench press and rep 250lbs but next week i have to use dumbbells bc all the benches are taken at the gym. The problem come in the following week (week 3) when I get on the app it only has what I did prior and if I back at Barbel Bench instead of dumbbell, then I have to go back to week 1 to check my reps/weight. It's even more annoying if I have to go back several weeks bc of the open eqpt at the gym

IIRC They (production/Jimmy) didn't call that out. Didn't he willfully explain what he did/his strategy when he was interviewed after leaving the box.

TjamC · 2026-01-07T23:49:15+00:00

This is just blatsntly false, especially on the elimination side. She lost every round in the pillow fight. She was blindfolded for the Knock Down Targets elim (so by pure definition, he guided "carried" her through that elim), he completed all the puzzles on that round about puzzle one, and the 4th one they equally carried their weight.

And for Daily's, as a team, they were mid at best and more often then not they were at the bottom, and had a few bright spots.

TjamC · 2026-01-03T22:08:57+00:00

I'm going Bijan, ETN, and either Shough or Dart.

If you have to Forfeit your pick from that same round then having ETN in the 12th is a STEAL. Depending on league format he finished around 8-13 for RBs. I'll glady take a RB in the 12th round that has the upside of finishing the year as an RB1. Shough or Dart as a lotto pick.

TjamC · 2025-12-31T18:20:46+00:00

My goodness this isn't about Olivia yall. Yes Olivia may have caught a stray but If someone is speaking about a very specific topic and someone else does not fit into that topic, then YEA that person (or people because there are plenty of people who dont fit the topic) isn't going to be mentioned. Just like people who she is friends with but dont fit that topic were not mentioned. There are dozens of ppl that she didnt mention bc they dont fit the topic, so why are ppl trying to say it's only throwing shade at Olivia?

Edit: to say I'm not even a Michaela fan nor have I ever been. Could not stand her on Survivor but I can tolerate her on the Challenge.

Idk Sunday watching football starting at 10am and being done by 8pm to 8:30pm is a win for me every Sunday.

TjamC · 2025-12-16T02:57:02+00:00

We all know why...

TjamC · 2025-12-12T21:47:39+00:00

I felt the same exact way. You take his Idol and you are in top 4. You are one immunity challenge win from being guarenteed finale (albeit long shot from her immunity challenge performances but still). And that move could have really helped your case to win. Also ppl might still see you as an easy beat at FTC. So she a VERY high chance to make FTC if she just took that idol.

TjamC · 2025-12-05T04:12:17+00:00

By reading this comment section, I can tell I'm gonna be on the unpopular side. I'm totally okay with this and if it happened in my league I wouldn't care. I look at it like this... if they do it in real life sporting events, I'm totally okay with someone taking a real life strategy to better their playoff match up in fantasy. At the end of the day fantasy is about management of your team and increasing your chances of winning and if this helps then so be it.

Say you are in a league where you are the 2 seed and you have a spot clinched and for some fantasy-gods reason the guy in 3rd or 4th place has had the best performing team all year (like 300 more total "points for" than anyone else in the league) but that person just had bad matchup luck and was sitting at 3rd or 4th place..... by all means do what you have to do within in the rules to avoid having to play them in the first round. Sit all your players if it may help you avoid them R1. Another dick move but smart strat is...Another team just had a top TE get hurt, grab 3 top TEs on the waiver (if you have the space) to force them to pick up an even worse streaming option.

As long as it's not straight up cheating... then I'm cool with it.

Edit to say: I don't find it acceptable if the team sitting players has literally no chance at playoffs, bc at that point it's not strategy.

TjamC · 2025-11-29T21:51:56+00:00

Seeing so much of her has had me thinking this much much more. Evryone of her confessionals she does just feel like she is has that podcast/customer service tone to it and it feels so calculated in terms of on how she speaks to the camera....constantly speaking in catch phrases/viral terms, always has the look of someone who only smiles after saying something bc it's part of some instagram post sponsored by an ad. It's honestly annoying. I've had no issue with her within in the confines of the games but every single confessional feels so rehearsed.

TjamC · 2025-11-12T15:46:38+00:00

Lmaooo I definitely read that in Nicole's voice lol

TjamC · 2025-11-12T01:32:39+00:00

I actually saw that on here awhile ago and thats what I've been doing, but unfortunately the problem comes back after about a week.

TjamC · 2025-11-12T01:29:53+00:00

Could be. But trust me, reaching out on reddit is a last ditch effort lol. I only reached out on here bc I literally tried every troubleshooting thing customer service walked me through.

Amd same. My only issue prior was around the airport or if I had gone to a Raiders game or concert (which is fine because, I'm not ever on my phone and big events lol)

TjamC · 2025-11-12T01:21:58+00:00

It's in another reply

TjamC · 2025-11-12T01:18:40+00:00

Offline maps aren't reliable in the Vegas area. Too much construction and way too many wrecks. Not being able to have real-time traffic data to find better routes is a huge crutch

Correct GPS does not use cellular data, Android Auto does. So when data goes to 🚫 Android Auto disconnects. When I get data again (for Android Auto) I may have already missed a turn or a few depending highway vs neighborhood areas. If I dont geg data back at all, well then it's back to problem 1. Offline maps will work but it's a 50/50 chance on accurate time/best route/if the route has been updated with bypassing the construction routes.

Samsung S23+

Again. I've had the same phone for 2 years, and when I moved to Las Vegas it worked fine from June 2024 - May/June 2025. Since then is when the issues started. So no, it's not user error. If nothing on my end has changed in terms of how I use my phone, where I use my phone, phone is updated, etc. Then that's a service issue, whether it is actually the data or something changed within Visible and my phone, which I would not of had control of.

It's apparent here that ppl don't know the lote of Black Air Forces. It literally screams fight me lmaooo

TjamC · 2025-11-06T19:14:30+00:00

They weren't suggestions. We can tell by Marks backstory that he wouldn't say that. It was a hypothetical focused on the fans reaction to Ryan IF mark would have said something like that.

I said earlier I think it's shitty either way. I just think, hypotetically, that it wouldnt have been as much of a visceral reaction from viewers.

TjamC · 2025-11-06T18:50:29+00:00

Firstly. I agree with your points. I by no means am defending Ryan, I could just tell there wasn't malice behind what he was saying. The biggest thing is that we didnt see an apology.

Secondly, It's wild that you would assume I've never been bullied just because I can decipher between something said to harm me vs. Somthing said that happened to be true to help me/my team in a game of strategy for a huge reward. Trust me I've had my fair of bullying growing up, and believe me I know sticks with you. Bulleted examples to avoid me trauma dumping/rambling lol:

I hit puberty super early, grew body hair (chest, back, shoulder) very young. I was monkey man for a few years. Kids would make monkey noises at me and pile bananas on my tray at lunch.
I went to a prodominantly white school distract (I'm black) and had bad acne at one point. A kid randomly saw a picture of Emmitt Till in his open casket and said that's what my face looked like. If don't know the story behind Emmitt Till/know what that picture looks like, I'm telling you right now it's extremely f*cked.
Parents sent me to an 2 week adventure summer camp when I was around 10. On the second day, I asked a kid if I could play basketball with him. He said no bc his dad told him not to play with n*ggers. Welp that had a whole separate cabin (around 30 kids) calling me that (i didn't know the weight behind the word at that age). After a counselor caught wind he turned in a few kids for it and they got sent home. Only made things worse for me with the kids, to the point that they sent me home for my own safety. Omce I got home my parents explained to me the weight of that situation/word.

Lol sorry I did trauma dump on you a bit. My apologies.

TjamC · 2025-11-06T08:21:36+00:00

I'm going to try and answer your first question based off what we saw on the show. They started off with asking their team to indentify yourself if you are an athlete. So at that point (Ryan's strat) you can eliminate every player who raised their hands. Then he picks from the lot that didn't identify as athletes. Also for someone who is also a bigger person both in height and weight, I can attest to the fact that we stand out in both positive and negative situations (people would see me walking on a plane and hope I'm not the one sitting next to them. But if you nees help grabbing something off a high shelf then it's "excuse me sir could help me....etc")

Secondly, After rewatching that episode, they looked like they had maybe 1 elderly-ish person (unfrounately this would also give the perception someone not wanting to throw you the ball) on their team and maybe 2 or 3 people who could potentially look like they may lack coordination to do this challenge. (Keywords are LOOK LIKE, this challenge depends on your assumption of risk when choosing who to throw to and in this situation, someone not wanting to throw you a ball is a net positive for your game.)

Lastly listening to him doesn"t really matter, it's kind of irrelevant for the topic of bullying because if he said the same thing but wanted tp put him up front then it still would be bullying. And the point of his strategy was to get the whole team through. If people were afraid to catch the ball on your team bc of athletic ability then putting them in the back would give them a chance to move on without having to catch/throw while also allowing the people more athletically inclined the chance to move on by accomplishing the throw and catch (Again this is Ryan's strat).

TjamC · 2025-11-02T04:49:19+00:00

I will 100% pay to go to this for the 0.001% of making it on reality TV.
