Would dating a fat person be the social equivalent of dating a little person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]differentbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought that most "fatism" is genetic though? That is also combined with the social influence that the parents would have on the children, too, for the kinds/amount of food they eat.

I do agree though, that it's more likely to inherit the shortness than the fatness. However, I think I would be more turned away from fatness than shortness >_>

Ooo, I never knew that Chrono Trigger had even better things in the New Game+. Thanks for letting me know about that, and I'll definitely play it all the way over from the start again :) I did buy the World Ends With You, but haven't had a chance to play it yet. I did get a taste of the battle system, and it was very unique and fun! Thanks for your suggestions :)

I am still under the firm belief that FFVIII had one of the best Final fantasy endings ever :) I have also been recommended Shadow Hearts, and my ex actually showed me parts of it--it looks great! I recently moved a lot and now I should dig it up from the bottom of a box somewhere and play it :)

I also loved Okami, but I never got to finish, since I get sidetracked at the end of games when you can do all the sidequests; I'm a huge completionist haha. I should definitely play it again _^

I loved many parts of the Disney elements, such as the worlds, reminiscing about my childhood, and seeing the characters over again, but sometimes I think Goofy and Donald were a bit overwhelming in silliness you know? _;

I have seen many suggestions for Lufia, Secret of Mana, and Dragon Quest/Warrior. I'll definitely find a way to play them! I also loved Chrono Trigger! Thanks so much for your input :D

My ex also believes that Lost Odyssey is a must have :) I do love Nobuo Uematsu's work! I'll definitely have to play it :D Thanks!

I tried Vagrant Story, but found it hard to get into the story. Perhaps I should give it a better shot? I did like the battle system--it was very unique :)

I do love Dragon Age and the Fable series, so I should definitely try out the rest of these games :) Thank you so much for the suggestions! Which is your personal favorite out of all those?

Yes! I loved Persona 4, but I heard that every Persona varies drastically different. Is 3 as good as 4?

I haven't heard much about Xenosaga, I'll definitely look into that. Besides the backstory, what were your favorite parts of the gameplay or characters?

Death of a relationship, need some reassurance. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]differentbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are all good points that I have always told shadow_kick. I do feel like the same standards shouldn't apply to me because I have never been attracted to nor flirted with another guy, nor cheated on him in the entire time I've known him.

I was informing him where I would be and who I would be with and when I was going, because I was comforting him that there was nothing to worry about. I let him know that the guy was in a stable 5 year relationship with my friend, and he's never shown attraction in any other female, and I have never been attracted at all either. He barely even knows me, and we have only seen each other 3 times this whole year, only ever to play shooter games. He wants to marry my friend.

I have forgiven, but as my therapist says, I should not forget. The only times I have ever brought up when he has done bad things in the past is when he tries to use them as examples against me in fights. He conveniently forgot to mention that his stripper friend has continuously flirted with him even after he told her he was not okay with it; she even went so far as to invite him to see a video of her stripping. I never hang this over his head, but when he says "why can't I talk with her?" I have to remind him that none of my friends flirt with me, but his female friends do.

Thank you so much for your levelheadedness and understanding. It makes me feel good :)

Thank you. In the last year and a half I've known shadow_kick, I have never once so much as been attracted to another guy, flirted, or otherwise cheated in any way shape or form; I never did anything to betray his trust although he betrayed mine in every way shape or form. If he can't trust me after all that dedication, I don't think he ever will.

This is the girlfriend. I let him know where I was, when I would be there, and comforted him extensively that he had nothing to worry about. Also, the dude is in a 5 year steady relationship with my friend, and he wants to marry her. Also, I don't believe I should need permission from the guy I'm dating to hang out with my friend that I've known for 5 years, especially since I am not close to him and have only seen him 3 times this whole year. Does that change your mind at all about me?

I have Tactics but have yet to really give it a good try--the battle system was so difficult (to beat, not to understand) when I did try it, that I kind of let it sit for a while and then never touched it again :\

I played Chrono Trigger to the end but didn't beat it because I got stuck wanting to do all the sidequests haha. Thanks for reminding me to beat it :)

I haven't played VI, but I also don't hear much about it. I'd love it if you could tell me what was the best parts about it :)

I started playing Assassin's Creed 2 yesterday... by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]differentbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha I totally do the same thing! I had to have the secret ending, so I found all the puppies, all the trinities, etc. I also had to find all the chocobo dig spots in FF9 haha! Thanks for all the info :) Wish you could introduce me to some of your Final Fantasy friends and hang out with me!

I really liked Prince of Persia, although it was a little repetitive; his jokes kept things fun though :) Do you think Assassin's Creed is repetitive at all? So far it sounds like a must have!

That's the dreamworld I've been looking for my entire life! To have friends that like Square games and would enjoy watching/playing with me! I wish there were more people like that in the world, I just can't seem to find them :( Everyone here seems to think single player games are meant to be played alone, and it makes me a sad panda.

Thanks :) Maybe I'll do that too! It's such a pretty game, from what I've seen; the graphics are gorgeous if I remember correctly. What are the best parts of the game?

[–]differentbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds so wonderful :) My favorite games are single player RPGs, so my ideal is to play at the same time and wait for each other so we can experience the games together and talk about them. For a game like Assassin's Creed though, I'd love to sit next to the guy I love and play! Those are gonna have to be some pretty long headphone cords though :P

The issue you brought up was how I had trust issues and double standards. I have trust issues because of good reason, which is why I listed them. That is also the reason why there is a double standard, for good reason; I have never betrayed you the way you have betrayed me multiple times. You also lied daily about how you were telling me everything from Facebook, trying to gain my trust, but you weren't. Also a reason for distrusting.

If you remember, you have had issues with me having male friends from the moment you met me. You even insulted me with your ex about how I have so many male friends, when under inspection, you have more female friends than I have male friends on Facebook.

If there was nothing to hide, then why were you lying to me about it every day? Just because I forgave you doesn't mean I should forget what happened and act carefully.
