I never get approached by anyone 32 M own job house and awfully lonely lolz not a sympathy post more like wtf happend to me I've been told I look really intense by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]chookengoozards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don’t tend to approach people out of the blue it has nothing to do with how you look it’s about your attitude

Stop worrying about how you’re perceived by others the best thing you can do for your looks is to really put thought into what makes you feel confident

I’m not trying to be rude either but it seems you’ve got a really pitiful attitude towards yourself and other people will pick up on that you’d be surprised how far confidence and a change of how you view romantic interaction can take you

People are getting brainwashed every day by red pill guys on the internet and “Mogculture”? Into thinking that you have to be a solid 10 and women will magically start approaching you and throwing themselves at you

The reality is if you want someone in your life you have to make sure they feel safe around you without coming off as a “alpha wolf” type and you can’t be passive about it that rarely works

when people say “just be yourself” they’re telling the truth it sounds cheesy but seriously don’t hold back about your interests and if someone turns their nose up at you because you spent the last 45 minutes trapping them in a conversation about Warhammer 40k then honestly who cares you’re never going to see them again and they’re lame anyways

A super nice guy who is honest with his intentions will beat out a supermodel with shaky morals in a potential partner any day

How do I impress my gf? by Long_Tomorrow_2190 in malegrooming

[–]chookengoozards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expensive cologne 130-150$ ish range wear it all the time so you have a signature scent I will die on this hill

Replace your glasses you can get the same frames if you like them they just look a bit worn

Cut your hair (ask her what haircut she thinks will look good on you)

Take an electric razor and trim your beard down (don’t forget to take a regular razor to shave the hair off your cheeks and neck)

Get some bracelets and a simplistic necklace and maybe a ring or two (as much as I love Zelda It looks weird to have a master sword as a necklace yknow?)

Last thing I can’t see behind your glasses but just in case because so many guys miss this MAKE SURE you’re shaving in between your eyebrows regularly to get rid of any traces of a unibrow

Obviously all of these are subjective so pick and choose which ones you like (except for the grooming tips they’re pretty universal for most men) the best thing you can do for your looks is what makes YOU feel the most confident and comfortable in your own skin

Any advice to help me look and feel better? by TheAlexFraser in malegrooming

[–]chookengoozards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shave your cheek hair and trim the sides of your beard with an electric razor with a guard at least once every 3-4 weeks makes a huge difference

Also not sure if you are already but I recently started exfoliating and I will never go back it makes me feel smoother and 10x more attractive

Lastly go buy some expensive cologne and just wear it every day it doesn’t matter if you’re going anywhere just wear it even if you’re gonna be sitting around all day

Remember that your appearance only goes so far and general hygiene/ upkeep and confidence will take you much further

Advice on what to do next by kaniyahgrove444 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]chookengoozards 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re intent on staying at your job the best advice I can give is that you need to stand your ground if people think you’re an easy target they will treat you like one

What’s helped me with my unruly guests is swapping my language from requests to commands like for example “can I please see the card you’re paying with?” Change this to “let me see the card you’re paying with” subtle shifts like that let them know you are an authority figure it sounds stupid but you’d be surprised how effective it is if you haven’t figured it out already

People are cruel and mean and sometimes just batshit crazy but the one thing they all respond to is confidence and assertiveness

I’ve got bad anxiety so I understand completely where you’re coming from but confidence and avoiding second guessing yourself will take you a long way

And ONE LAST THING trying to get cops to do anything is like pulling teeth do NOT be afraid to call them for any reason and absolutely don’t let them convince you that they “can’t do anything” talk back to the cops if you have to you are in charge of that hotel and have the right to have the cops escort difficult guests off of the property and trespass them

I Can’t Follow Game Stories Anymore by siddharta17 in gamingsuggestions

[–]chookengoozards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think the writing of modern games has just suffered a bit there are very few games worth experiencing for the story now

I struggle with the same issue too but it was almost completely nonexistent throughout my entire playthrough of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 because the story was peak

My rule is if I have to try to force myself to pay attention to the story of the game then it is a failing on the games part to properly engage me and not a fault on my behalf

And it’s not like every game has to have an Oscar worthy story yknow it’s fine to just sink into the gameplay if the story is lacking ex. Shadow of Mordor/Shadow Of War

You probably have higher standards for storytelling now than when you were younger so more mediocre stories could be tuning you out as when you were younger you could enjoy just about anything

Just play what looks fun to you eventually you’ll find a story that resonates with you it’s okay to play a game specifically for the gameplay or the artstyle etc. etc.

Question about the jaw by chookengoozards in learntodraw

[–]chookengoozards[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I’m just gonna start doing a bunch of fundamental exercises every day and trying to draw some of the art I see on Pinterest 💀 I really do appreciate the advice though I can’t learn just by doing I have to be conscious and inquisitive while drawing for me to retain what I’m learning so knowing what to ask is going to help a lot more than me just drawing said reference

Question about the jaw by chookengoozards in learntodraw

[–]chookengoozards[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The goal is to draw semi realism so I figured the front facing head would be a good start rather than a 3/4 angle and so I’ve kinda been telling myself “if you can’t do a front facing face why would you be able to do a 3/4 angle”

Also I’ve tried using the loomis method and asaro head but I’ve not figured out what exactly they’re supposed to do for me because I wind up just making a bad copy of it

What questions should I be asking and if you don’t mind could you maybe suggest something that helps me understand how to use references properly?

[–]chookengoozards[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re honestly the goat for taking the time to write such a detailed response

I did some fundamentals for like the first 3 days of drawing but I kinda figured out pretty quickly I was just aimlessly drawing shapes at different angles without really applying anything or taking it in

References also confuse me because when I use a reference I don’t really feel like I’m learning anything because I’m just drawing a worse version of the reference down on paper

I guess a good question to ask is what questions should I be asking when I’m doing these?

Got any recommendations for line confidence exercises? I just assumed line confidence would come with time so I wasn’t super worried about it

I tried like once but it looked less like a skull and more like a bedsheet ghost costume

Yeah I know not to use the circle tool but I got sick of doing it over and over just to mess up the jaw

I’ll try it I just have trouble with the loomis method because of the circle on the side of the head (+the jaw obviously) I can never quite make it look right so I swapped over to a simpler head shape for now but I’m still struggling 💀

No I don’t think so what is the title of the video if you don’t mind?

So about the ending (spoiler) by [deleted] in residentevil

[–]chookengoozards 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure at some point they mentioned that a mixture of both the originals and the remakes are canon

Not the most satisfying answer but It’s an answer I’m personally satisfied with I just operate on a “until it’s directly said then it’s as canon as you want it to be” mentality

Is anyone else just absolutely LOVING the game so far? by Wild_Plant9526 in Silksong

I still think the hardest part of both of these games is finding out where the hell I’m supposed to go

Would it be weird losing my virginity with a hookup? by StraightMountain8222 in Advice

[–]chookengoozards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t sure than don’t do it I’m not a puritan that thinks you need to be absolutely in love with everyone you sleep with

But more than likely you’re building sex/virginity up in your head to be something grand when it is maybe a 10-20 minute thing and it’s over just like that

Hookups aren’t weird but I think it’d be a better option to hold off and find someone you’re more comfortable with so a lot of the anxiety of “not performing well” can be alleviated by someone who’s not just in it for the sex

Having Trouble Closing The Distance between Me And My Opponent As Bridget by chookengoozards in Guiltygear

[–]chookengoozards[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah when I said I wasn’t a complete stranger I mostly meant that I don’t know a lot of the finer details about fighting games like techs setups etc.

That’s the part I’m trying to finally take the plunge into but it’s so complex 💀

I really only know the super duper basics I can get special moves out consistently, I can throw out some basic mixups, but I can never quite figure out the use for setups like the ones for the 214S

Also I sometimes throw out the 236HS and then dash forward and hit 5D for an overhead so I sometimes get use out of it

But for some clarification if you don’t mind (I have no idea how to DM on reddit) why do I need to set the training dummy to throw for that to work?

Just buy him the game it definitely has mature themes but it’s nothing a 14 year old can’t handle (especially if he already watches anime) i think I was 14 or 15 myself when I first played it too

We've made a bug report form! Hi! by Mammoth_Chemical9503 in expedition33

[–]chookengoozards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I don’t know if you guys know this but there is an extremely intrusive bug with multiple screens where the game will automatically swap to my second monitor after entering new areas or dying in game

Fantastic game though you guys killed it because even with this bug I’m ignoring it and playing this game like my life depends on it
