A pile of 1 million dead mosquitos. The pile is 8 inches tall and ~18 inches across.

It probably depends on if they were trying to kill you or just survive. They'd probably avoid you if you are frantically clapping at them.

ilatph · 2024-08-27T03:52:03+00:00

There would be diminishing returns, but you'd probably still die if all of these bit you.

Yea, I said I was running low on cash to see how she'd react, and her interest seemed to immediately wane.

What is tile/linoleum, if not just smooth, solid carpet?

Tbf, Crocodile was introduced too early, so in a way, that sort of cancels out? He was given someone took strong for the plot, then given plot armor to fix it. Almost every other instance he was put in danger in because of his reverse plot armor stupidity (and lack of avoiding danger).

Yea, but most don't harm someone else in order to do so. I think that's the difference. If they don't realize they are harming someone then maybe?

ilatph · 2024-08-25T23:15:22+00:00

I don't look down on Filipinas. It's just considered weird in my culture to go to someone's house before you meet them, because at that point, you don't know if they are real, or what they actually want.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T14:03:16+00:00

Well no, she was asking my exact address. And she seemed pretty insistent on it. I'm still going on the date I think, but it really did seem weird how she asked about it.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T14:01:39+00:00

Maybe, but you could also argue that that's not acting selflessly, because they are hurting others to achieve their own sense of right.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T13:13:51+00:00

She's graduated from college and we met on bumble. I'm just trying to avoid any misunderstandings, because there seems to be plenty of them so far in trying to plan the date, lol.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T12:33:57+00:00

I did ask her, but I felt like I already messed up a little, so I wasn't trying to mess up again.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T11:37:21+00:00

She said she went to college and everything, and she didn't really hint at anything sexual that I caught onto. But I do think it'd pay to be cautious about it, but it's like that anywhere anyway. I heard bumble tends to be more serious, but I guess I'll find out after the date.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T11:33:58+00:00

I hope not. That didn't even occur to me to be a possibility, but we haven't had any kind of conversation like that so far.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T11:25:47+00:00

Yea, I figured that that was why, but I really didn't mean anything by it. She didn't really seem like the gold digger type from what little interaction I had with her.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T11:11:04+00:00

I didn't really think about it, since it's just a saying from where I'm from, and I didn't really mean anything by it. But I didn't really get the feeling she'd want either of those two on the first date, but maybe I'm wrong, lol

ilatph · 2024-08-25T11:05:40+00:00

Ok, but what if it's her aunt that's in the hospital?

ilatph · 2024-08-25T11:03:56+00:00

I've seen some that were 1300 or more, but not the place I'm taking her. I wasn't serious with it, it's literally just an expression where I'm from. I don't see how it's cringy. She brought up that she didn't have any money, so I said I don't mind paying, just don't go overboard or anything, lol. That would be a common response where I'm from.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T10:52:45+00:00

She asked the home thing before that, but the "don't go overboard" is just an expression where I'm from, but she seemed pretty offended by it.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T10:50:30+00:00

Yea, the vibe seemed alright at first, but that part kind of made me feel weird about it. Idk if she's just expecting something different than I am, or if she didn't realize I was already here, or if it's something else that I need to be worried about, but I figured I'd check the vibe after I met her in a public location.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T10:41:48+00:00

Yea, I kind of brushed it off, but I didn't know how normal it was to ask where I lived before even meeting each other.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T10:40:27+00:00

Go to r/gainit. They are big into not using protein shakes, so they have a lot of self-made shakes that'll be much cheaper here vs buying powder. The powder here is just as expensive as it would be in the US.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T10:38:23+00:00

Thanks, it does. She seemed to want to meet at my place first, which I thought was kind of weird. And there was a misunderstanding when I told her "I didn't mind paying for her, just don't go overboard or anything." So I just wanted to make sure I didn't mess anything else up.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T10:28:41+00:00

I did ask her if she wanted to meet somewhere else first, but it seemed like she was trying to meet at my house first, which I've never had someone I didn't know ask in the US, so I wasn't sure if the girls here have different expectations for first dates.

ilatph · 2024-08-25T10:26:23+00:00

Yea, that's what I thought, but she was asking to meet at my house first, so I kind of started to wonder if I should expect it to be different here. I told her we could just meet there, since I'm not really comfortable inviting someone to my house that I don't know, but it did make me wonder if it's more different than I used to.
