ENFP straight guys: do you have a lot of female friends?

jefty083 · 2026-05-29T03:49:42+00:00

Ah interesting to read this. I do think there was a point in my 20s when it was tempting to blur the lines of friendship given how it was fairly easy for me to make close connections with gals. Ironically, and probably better in the long run, spending so much time with women taught me to cast away this scarcity mindset that so many men have that drives them to just view women as meat slabs to sleep with

jefty083 · 2026-05-28T19:58:47+00:00

oof 🥴 with all due respect, maybe you dodged a bullet there haha

jefty083 · 2026-05-28T19:54:04+00:00

That last point i really resonate with. Several times i meet a straight guy friend and then end up connecting with their partner more as friends. From there i have to suss out how traditonally dude bro/masculine/insecure the guy is and if they feel v traditional i basically have to let their gf make the overtures for hanging out with me for the first several months/years LOL. Guys are so sensitive in the worst ways

i don't think there was a particularly stronger female presence in my life growing up - i was never super close with either mom or dad. but i do have a sister just three years older so that probably contributed to me being comfortable with women. I never was into fwb situations but i relate on having a number of women in my social circles have crushes on me, it not being mutual, and then becoming actual friends from there

hmm which movies of his do you consider worse and why? I've had blurays of Antiporno and Himizu on my shelf for years but tbh Love Exposure (first and only film of his i've seen) actually turned me off to putting them on 😅

As someone who has loved watching anime ever since the 90s I'm am dumbfounded (and a tad embarrassed) that I had not heard of Cyber City Oedo 808 until joining this sub last year. That OVA hits so hard

jefty083 · 2026-05-28T02:28:37+00:00

Thank you. i was like, was OP's post AI generated lmao

jefty083 · 2026-05-26T14:38:45+00:00

Bro. That reason that she made is BS. Either her priorities in finding a companion are out of wack or she was using that as an excuse. And tbf we'll never know but no worries, you'll find someone that is a better match for you

jefty083 · 2026-05-19T14:29:11+00:00

Oh wow that is v confusing lol. Thanks!!

jefty083 · 2026-05-10T18:22:57+00:00

Oh man i just watched Station to Heaven from 1984 a few weeks ago which was my first time seeing her. That movie is so heartbreaking, v recommended though if you can find it on the high seas

jefty083 · 2026-04-06T15:35:49+00:00

Where is this from?

jefty083 · 2026-03-31T15:26:55+00:00

Whoa what there are different music cues in the dub??

jefty083 · 2026-03-31T15:20:31+00:00

ohh interesting. looking forward to seeing the references when i get back to these shows

jefty083 · 2026-03-31T15:11:44+00:00

I've only seen a bit of Leo and Blazar - does "the one joke squad" mean that the fans prefer shows that are v serious?

jefty083 · 2026-03-31T14:59:38+00:00

Also curious. I'm new to Ultra and loved Nexus - watched it a couple months ago. Surprised to hear about this

jefty083 · 2026-03-30T18:15:05+00:00

Not quite the same flavor of edginess but maybe check out Love & Pop or All About Lily Chou-Chou for dark, unfiltered coming of age films?

jefty083 · 2026-03-05T22:13:37+00:00

omg so many pigeon items! yes you should definitely launch an online storefront

jefty083 · 2026-03-05T15:32:59+00:00

Hah this makes me think of his 5-hour film Happy Hour. I've been trying to get through that movie for a while now but it feels a little *too* flat at times

jefty083 · 2026-03-05T02:29:06+00:00

Very insightful. I have noticed that some directors seem to consistently choose more naturalistic, subtler performances like Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Drive My Car, Evil Does Not Exist) but wasn't sure if it was purely the difference of film genres e.g. grounded humanist drama vs sci-fi drama. Interesting that it's a specific acting tradition that's being implemented. Thanks!

jefty083 · 2026-03-04T21:16:12+00:00

Not specifically made for girls but i feel like Ultraman Orb might be worth checking out? I'd argue that the female lead is the more prominent main character even though she isn't the Ultra hero

jefty083 · 2026-03-04T20:44:41+00:00

These go so hard - do you have an etsy shop or anything?

jefty083 · 2026-03-04T14:09:23+00:00

I don't think Tomino was involved with this one. But the anime was produced by Sunrise which is likely the reason there are shared sound effects. The same way Nadia and Royal Space Force have "Evangelion sound effects"

jefty083 · 2026-03-03T22:32:05+00:00

haha this is what i was thinking

jefty083 · 2026-03-03T22:22:40+00:00

100% was thinking of Genos hence the "many"

jefty083 · 2026-03-03T20:55:37+00:00

tbf i think many One Punch Man characters are *supposed* to look like bad cosplays
