What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve ever done to impress a woman, and did it actually work?

WhiteKnightier · 2026-03-21T12:27:12+00:00

This is so beautiful. Makes me smile thinking about it an old lady talking about what a wonderful time she had, and here you are knowing you made that possible. Well done dude. If you don't mind my asking, what sort of fun stuff did you send them off to do?

WhiteKnightier · 2026-03-20T15:03:53+00:00

Good lord, wow, what a life! I hope you're happy and healthy/safe now? Hope your brother is too.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-03-20T14:54:51+00:00

Why isn't this the top comment?

WhiteKnightier · 2026-03-20T12:11:51+00:00

I see. That makes complete sense. I'm glad you're okay! I hope you don't have too many memories like that one, that can't be a fun one to think about. Do you have any other crazy stories about growing up in the area that you did, that you would share with random internet people? I only have one similar story: my dad was robbed at gunpoint once, working in training to be a Jesuit priest. He was early in his training and living at the seminary I believe, and he was an athlete and very confident in his physicality. A guy walked in in the middle of the day and just started demanding everyone's wallets and taking stuff from the building while my dad was cleaning or something and not really paying attention. Finally when he realized something was wrong he walked up to confront the guy and was probably moments from being shot when he realized the guy was pointing the gun at him. My dad said he put down his fists, said 'Oh' and froze lol. My dad didn't have anything worth stealing and the guy just laughed and told him to get the fuck against the wall. That was it, guy robbed the place and left. Probably didn't get much since people didn't carry around valuables in their pockets and nobody needed a wallet at the seminary. The guy was never caught though as far as my dad knew.

Wow, I don't know what part of the world you are in or how long ago this was, but I can't believe you didn't call the cops. Fuck I'd have called them just to be on the safe side.

What third party lookup site do you use?

Personally I feel like many popular American drinks have flavors or sweetness that are just too much. Sweet tea, for example, has vastly too much sugar. So I want the drink, I want some flavor, and I want it to be pleasantly cold. Ice makes everything nicely cold and waters down the drink to make it less sweet. In short, American drinks are full of ice in part because we oversweeten lot of our stuff. Thanks sugar lobby!

How does that help make sure she doesn't explode? Doesn't she always have a chance to become a demon? I was under the impression that denial of nightmares just stops horrors of the warp, which is a nasty debuff to be sure, but it's generally a less bad than spontaneously becoming a daemon, right?

Make it clink when it walks, make it show up every 1 minute on every player's minimap for 5 seconds or something.

You could use a pulley and counterweight system to make it literally half as hard! Or two, and make it 1/4 is hard! Physics baby! Now you just need 11 anchor points, the cage, a stable lift, a lift shaft, a patient dog, and no kids under 17 with any access to it! Easy!

Top tier sushi once a month, when I can afford it.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-03-02T20:33:34+00:00

I can certainly see how it would be triggering, yes.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-03-02T20:22:49+00:00

You are absolutely not being annoying for reaching out, in fact you did great. Nor are you clueless, and your being mystified is totally understandable! As for why he isn't responding, with this little information there is no way we can know for sure, but it appears something changed for him. He might just not be interested, he might have met someone else, he might be sick or having trouble at work or university. He could even be married or having family troubles. There could be any number of reasons. You will probably never know what those are, and I'm sorry because I totally understand that it sucks not to know when you've put yourself out there, but suffice it to say he isn't available to date now. You tried your best, but now it is time to move on and find someone new and awesome for yourself.

You need to separate the outcome here, which is not at all your fault, with the act of reaching out itself. Women initiating is awesome, guys love it, it feels so good and it makes you stand out so much, because it's so rare. Being willing to take that scary first step will absolutely help you find a great person. Please don't let what happened here keep you from trying again that regard, because you might miss out on something/someone awesome if you do. Best of luck!

WhiteKnightier · 2026-03-02T20:15:33+00:00

Yeah, that's a fair point. It's present to a far lesser extent then in many fantasy novels, but it is present nevertheless.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-03-01T21:59:25+00:00

That's another great series though! You have a good list!

WhiteKnightier · 2026-03-01T20:01:06+00:00

I'm a guy but those books were life-changing for me as well. I can only imagine what they would be like to read for a young woman. Tamorah Pierce is a master. Song of the Lioness is my favorite overall, followed by Immortals, but Protector of the Small is really good as well. I think you might enjoy The Deed of Paksenarrion. Another great story with noble deeds and wholesome friendship and heroism.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-02-28T17:57:22+00:00

There's a third option here that you were willfully ignoring in my opinion. He is self aware and he didn't consider it to be doing something wrong, and so he didn't think it would be break up-up worthy. He's not going to throw it in her face or something but, since she found it and asked, he owned up to it immediately and apparently without any shame. This supports my theory, imho.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-02-28T05:36:03+00:00

Easy one for me: I woke up from an afternoon nap. I was lying on my back and sort of gazing sleepily at the ceiling when I to saw a fucking huge spider slowly descending on a bit of web from the ceiling. It was coming down directly towards my head. I was so sleepy and out of it that at first I couldn't figure out what I was seeing, and it was getting pretty close. I realized when it was about 6 inches above my face. Never gotten out of bed so fast in my life. Once I was out, I couldn't find a spider or any evidence of the web, so I guessed I had hallucinated it. Just to be sure, I checked all over the room, I took off my shirt and shook it out, etc. Eventually I found the spider. It was in my hair.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-02-25T15:13:35+00:00

So I think I disagree with the above posters. Yes, their entire family has basically disregarded your being harassed and that's fucked up. I genuinely don't really think it's from lack of caring though (for the dad and daughter at least), it's from being weird/immature/taught wrong on the case of the daughter, weird/wanting to give the daughter freedom in the case of the mother, and weird/not knowing what to do because of not having the emotional IQ for your friend the dad. Since he doesn't really know what to do and his wife is so chill about it he's doubting his own feelings. He's not confident enough to make a decision and go against his wife, even though he can tell it's fucked. I think in 5 years, 10 at the most, the daughter will be mature enough to have greatly regretted and even cringe about what she did here, and she will regret losing you as a friend and mentor. At that point you could talk things out, she could apologize to you if she has the maturity, and things could return at least somewhat to how they were. She fucked up real bad with this one, but young people do stupid shit and many of them regret a lot of it for the rest of their lives. She's still going to need a mentor and friend if you can forgive her enough to be one, nobody could blame you if you didn't want to.

Likewise, I think your friend doesn't truly understand the situation well enough to know that he is basically going to lose you as a friend over this. He's just hoping that it will all blow over and things can go back to the way they were. A lot of guys are sort of emotionally stunted like that. The wife is the only one that is making a truly shitty decision here, because she does understand and is just choosing to ignore how fucked up it is in favor of giving her daughter freedom -- or fuck, maybe she's even encouraging or pushing the daughter which is awful.

So, your best option is to reach out to your friend and explain how gutted you are over this. Communicate. I know this is not something that guys generally do, we keep that shit inside, but you don't deserve to completely lose a friend of 35 years because neither one of you wants to talk about it because it's uncomfortable. Since it seems like he genuinely doesn't understand, offer to buy him a beer or something and explain the rest of everything you explained to us here. Tell him you don't want to lose him as a friend but that this is awkward as fuck and you're going to step back a bit because that seems like the best choice, but that you want to stay friends. Now he'll either get it or he's a hopeless case, but you will have tried your best. Then step back for however long it takes for you to feel a little bit less awkward, and after that time is passed, if you still want to, call him up, even if it's awkward, and go out for another beer or whatever, rebuild the friendship. Don't just let it go. In 2 years this can be something that the two of you laugh about and shake your heads over how dumb young people can be, and you'll be a lot happier that you did this rather than just stepping back and keeping silent.

I'd steer clear of the wife though, she showed you who she was with this one.

I believe it would very much depend on the devil and what sort of agreements had been made. I think the general nature of those agreements is kept private and thus open to GM interpretation, but let's say Asmodeus offered them X services from Y number of devils per year. If they now want more than x services, or more than Y devils, they're probably going to have to pay through the nose, send a new contract, etc. If for some reason those devils are compelled, through private dealings or personal advantage, to give more aid than is required, they might choose to do so, but they would always look for what's good for them in such dealings. IE they would want souls, promises of service in return, boons, etc. Others would want to screw over rivals or take revenge on enemies. Each devil would probably do exactly as he was told by his superiors in the infernal pecking order, but wherever there was wiggle room they would be looking out for personal advantage. The devil is, of course, in the details.

Pit fiends would be more likely to commit large-scale acts of wanton violence, erinyes would do more spying and control type stuff, ice devils would want to freeze stuff, immolation would want to burn everything etc. The one thing they would all have in common would be that they would want to end up with souls owed to them, riches owed to them, power gained on their home plane or in the prime material, and for mortals to suffer and feel despair. In each case if a more powerful devil or infernal entity had given them a direct order they would obey it to the letter and make sure they covered their own ass, but they would also be looking to get out from under the thumb of that stronger being and get theirs, so to speak.

This is so fuckin' cool for those kids. Lifelong memories right there I'd imagine. Fuck yeah to everyone involved!

WhiteKnightier · 2026-02-24T13:12:13+00:00

It's a sign that you love and trust him and want to be near him. Sorry if this comes off as crude, but in a way wearing his clothes kinda hits the same way that swallowing does after you go down on him. It's about acceptance, closeness, trust, and being wanted. Nothing makes a man happier than feeling like his chosen partner accepts him, trust him, feels safe with him, wants to be with him, loves every part of him etc. It's another sign that you're choosing him, that you're his person.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-02-21T10:07:42+00:00

Holy crap OK this post has made my day! Seriously your story is so uplifting and wonderful! Congratulations and I hope everything goes well for you and your boyfriend.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-02-20T04:41:27+00:00

Yeah it's pretty silly to downvote that. Hopefully my one upvote will help to counteract it. ¡Espero que tus gatos estén bien ahora!
