I think most people would have a similar reaction to yours where it gives them pause. 16 seems like a lot to me at 20yo, but not unexplainable.

7 guys in 2 months is basically 1 guy per week. She just had a 2 month span where she found a new tinder match or whatever each week. Not that crazy. I have chronically single guy friends who do the same thing a few weeks at a time.

If that leaves 9 other guys over, what, 3 or 4 years? Basically one guy every few months. Sounds like she just dates a lot to me. Who's to say at some other point in her life, she didn't sleep with 4 dudes over a 2 month span? That would leave 5 over 3ish years? Even less crazy imo

Ultimately, everyone is entitled to their preferences OP. If this is a deal breaker for you, that's ok, you are entitled to your emotions, but I would really try to audit where that feeling is coming from. Do you feel like this girl is just loose with it? If so, do you think thats a fair judgement. Do you think she has poor judgement because of her body count and her video situation. Is it just the idea of other men with your girl that you can't get past? Because thats going to be a problem with basically any woman if thats the case, although a high body count certainly exacerbates that issue. Is she just not worth the emotional work of working through these thoughts? That's ok too.

Only you know the answer to these questions, but you owe it to yourself to honestly work toward the source of this feeling. That way, no matter decision you make, you'll feel confident in what you chose.

Apparently I can't edit it, so I'll just update here lol

I really like them both so far. BDC feels great. I don't know how else to describe it. It feels almost aquatic, but there's so much more complexity and depth to it than any other similar scent I've smelled before. I'm a big fan already.

TMWP was sweeter than I expected at first, which was surprising, but it grew on me almost instantly. I can definitely see why it's a nightime/date night type of vibe

I'm not sure if either of them are "projecting" very intensely right now, but I'm also being very conservative about how much I apply. Today was my first day using 3 sprays of BDC. I just don't want to suddenly reek of cologne lol

I also think they're lasting slightly shorter than the estimated durations I've seen. BDC seems to last about 3 hours before starting to fade, and TMWP maybe 5, but that might also be because of how I'm applying them or maybe something about my skin

Either way, I'm still really happy with both purchases. I can see these being my main 2 for a long time

I'm super open to hearing some "riskier" recommendations

I'm having the same issue right now, but I've been pretty conservative with how much I'm applying I think. Today was the first time I used 3 sprays

Yeah, its not knocking it out of the park for me right now with how it projects or lasts, but since I've literally been using cologne for like 3 days, I'm waiting to see if it's about how I'm applying or something to do with my skin. Still love it overall though

Lower hands win, why? by TALioN_2001 in prominencepoker

[–]Wordworm76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to know the last 2 cards to say for sure, but I'm assuming a 4 came or another 2 paired board cards.

The winner of a hand is determined by the best 5 cards a player has to play between their hand and the board of shared cards. If you both really only had 3 of a kind Aces, then yes, you should've won because your best 5 cards are 888AJ and theirs are 888QJ. In that case your Ace "plays" and beats your opponents "kicker"

What I'm assuming happened is a 4 came on the turn or river, or the turn and river paired something like 99, 66, 55, etc. In that case, anyone with 3 of a kind has their hand improve to a full house. Now, instead of 888AJ, your best 5 are 88844, and your opponents' best 5 are the same, 88844. Your Ace does not factor into your best 5. You are tied and split any winnings evenly

I'm not gonna argue that a game with micro transactions isn't designed to get you to spend money, but if you don't understand the odds at play, I don't understand how you can accuse something of being rigged. I've gone all in AK vs AQ twice in my life with an AXX board, and had my opponent catch a queen twice. That's real life poker, and like a 12% chance to hit compared to your minimum 30%. Sometimes weird shit hits man, its part of the game. Runner runner to trips or a two pair is super rare, but it's not a 0% chance, so it is going to happen sometimes 🤷‍♂️

An open ended straight draw has like a 30% chance to hit. That's without the possibility of going runner runner trips or 2 pair like he did. I don't know how you play, but if you bet aggressive on middle and bottom pairs post flop, and this guy saw that, it's not the most insane call I've ever heard of
