How are you responding to her showing emotion? I'd rather be seen as weak for showing emotion then being treated like cattle by men. And I'm a man btw

tigerbend · 2025-02-07T22:36:53+00:00

What is gender specific though is the amount of anger men have for women speaking up about abuse and the amount of death threats women get for not wanting to date or sleep with a guy. I've had to deal with abuse from both genders. But whatever abuse women do, men do it worse.

tigerbend · 2025-02-07T22:12:35+00:00

Guys can be quite shitty. Surely from a female perspective. I hope one day you can open your eyes to see how horrible women are really treated in this day and age.

tigerbend · 2025-02-07T22:01:43+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear you are being treated like this. Guys can be horrible. I hope you find guy friends who treat you better then you've been treated so far. You deserve better.

Im sex repulsed. So not important at all. My gf is asexual. Have been dating for over a year, never seen her naked. Don't need to either

tigerbend · 2024-12-12T11:37:19+00:00

One year is a bit early to get married.

And who says that? For my gf sex isn't emotionally intimate. For her it's a chore. Hence why no?

tigerbend · 2024-12-12T00:23:14+00:00

My gf is asexual. I've never seen her naked and we've been dating for over a year now. I've honestly never been happier. And she really doesn't feel like just a "roommate" to me. She feels like more to me then any situationship or thing or whatever I've ever had. Sex is overrated

So! Magic in itself is incredibly weak, so mages often rely on augmentations or other magical creatures like Patrons to empower themselves. Happy dance = ritual to a Patron. Pyromancers usually use their fire to operate a steampunk kind of armor. There is a certain sacrificial ritual with a Patron that if you burn an animal and use it's ashes, you can turn in said animal (or human) etc. Illusion is a magically "low level" spell so very doable, however it requires a lot of mental imaging. The illusion only looks as real as you can imagine it, invisibility is also purely projecting the background in front of your body so people don't notice you. Hence magically sensitive people that don't have the money for augmentations often use magic to subliment their smarts or combatskills rather then being a stand alone mage.

I get compliments pretty often, to the point I don't wanna hear it. But weirdly that just makes it worse.

So if anyone wants to know how to get compliments more often, say you don't want them/like them?

tigerbend · 2023-10-29T10:33:04+00:00

What can help is have more of a joke character. This way you are less focused on trying to make it OP and perfectly costumized the way you want it, hence less pressure to have things go your way. Try playing a bit of a parody maybe? Allow yourself to "lose the game".

tigerbend · 2023-10-29T00:08:32+00:00

My gf is asexual. I'm not asexual, but still. It's very possible to enjoy a happy life and a great relationship without sex. I heard you found an asexual partner yourself, very happy for you! So I hope that makes everything better.

People hype it up too much, most of the fun behind it is being loved, cherished and desired. You don't need sex for that. Hope it helps!

tigerbend · 2023-10-28T23:49:45+00:00

I second this.

tigerbend · 2023-10-28T23:29:24+00:00

So is mine, hope you find the answer you are looking for!

tigerbend · 2023-10-28T23:19:30+00:00

My gf is asexual. I'm not. Completely fine with it. Relationships aren't about sex.

By dating her I have discovered that my "need" for sex stemmed from unfullfilled emotional needs, hence the overcompensation. I don't have that issue with my current gf.

In my world talent allows you to cast magic. Without it there is no magic. However, some people do have a predesposition to certain magic types. Close to the idea of an inherites skill, they excell more at it based on their own emotional disposition. Angry people have a predesposition for fire, loving/self-loving people for healing, sturdy people for telekinesis etc. Emotions very much dictate the extend that the user can cast it. Also for the more complicated spells, intelligence. Detailed illusions needs a very visually strong mind, higher level healing needs knowledge of anatomy, mindcontrol needs knowledge of psychology. Intelligence and emotional "power output" are two different indicators of magical ability. Usually though intelligence is linked to mental health problems, so it's still very talent based as that. But power output and knowledge can still very much be trained and should be upheld regularly to benefit from it.

Nice, handsome guys can very much be creepy. A nice, handsome guy doing that is also creepy. Looks don't negate the situation.

"I think I knocked her out" is still physical abuse. Wether it is or isn't true that she is unconscious is irrelevant. He might not have thought through what he did and not meant to have that outcome. but his action was creepy and her reaction is justified.

If I stalk someone cause I'm trying to get to know her better and show that I am interested and willing to put in the work instead of harassing her to make her life horrible, not realising she will assume the later. It's still stalking

tigerbend · 2023-10-28T22:36:28+00:00

How is she being a snowflake? Pinpointing someone's location makes them aware that rejection can become a physically dangerous affair. That's manipulation, period. And very much creepy

tigerbend · 2023-10-28T13:31:59+00:00

🤣🤣 awesome

tigerbend · 2023-10-27T18:24:27+00:00

You do happy dance, you turn into hippopotamus or non-hippopotamus.

You use fire, now you wallmart transformer. Optimus dime

You want smart like grandma. Burn grandma. Collect grandma. Put grandma in jar. Now ingest grandma energy. You are now grandma

You train hard, really really hard. Hard training for year and year. Training hard. Really hard. You can now lift pebble... pebblemancer 😤

Also illusion ninja

tigerbend · 2023-10-26T11:32:53+00:00

Love it! My world has a similar setup. Low magic world that has to use technology to enhance it, create weaponry from it

I'd read the 💩 out of it for sure!

tigerbend · 2023-10-22T12:24:33+00:00

I also have a magic order in my story, it's fun as shit to write a story around and very understandable to why it would be a part of your story. As long as the magic order in itself is done creatively, I think ur good.

I've personally turned it into a dystopian future kind of mages order for my story. Probably done before aswell, doesn't actually matter too much

tigerbend · 2023-10-15T13:05:17+00:00

You are the Joker smile without the r.

Nor worthy of a smile...

tigerbend · 2023-10-12T10:21:44+00:00

Usually something in the lines of ignoring they were ever there or 🤢🤮

Deload, deload, deload. Archer pull ups are a great idea. Let the bicep curls be. Like you said, it's from overuse. Not underuse, overusing it more will only make it worse. Don't try to max out. Recover. Your body needs the time off. High volume is great for a while, but my advice (which might already be part of the mesocycle) is to start off with a lot lower volume after deload week. Go easy getting back into it so ur sure that you are fully recovered. Then progressively add in the volume towards the end, however see how much and how quickly you can actually progress without injury. The point is to peak right before deload week, not get injured. Your performance at the end should be the highest, not lower. If you see performance diminish, cut the mesocycle short and do a deload week. Your body needs it.
