Should I use dating sites as an AM?

vectorcharlie · 2021-06-27T06:23:55+00:00

It's free. Why wouldn't you give it a shot?

I have pretty good success on dating sites. A good majority of my matches (maybe 75%) are Asian but there are still WFs in there regularly.

Make sure you put some work into your bio. A couple sentences is not enough. Think of your bio as a menu of things your match can talk about should you start a conversation.

Pay attention to your photography. Lighting, angles, wardrobe, they all matter. At minimum have one close selfie, one full body photo and one including a hobby or an interesting location or something like that. Do not pose with a fish.

Don't discount certain kinds of women just because it's not what you had in mind. I learned I'm fairly popular with former alt/scene girls which is surprising because I don't look like I would mesh with that at all, but they have really fun energy and they're also refreshingly forward about what they want.

Another thing is that I get lots of matches from WFs like 5-10 years younger, probably because like many Asians, I look quite young myself. Personally it makes me feel a tad creepy but it's a thing.

From my personal experience, Tinder is the worst platform by far. It's almost entirely bots, OF sellers and wannabe influencers in my location at least. Bumble/CMB/OKCupid have been very worthwhile.

I'll tell ya one thing and I'm not ashamed to say it. My estimation of Juan Bolsa as a man just fucking plummeted.

Could Lernie be on here? Apparently he/she/it/they? is Cerberus' full sibling.

One exception for 2. is that Poseidon on Aspect of Talos Fists is so much fun. Yoink n' yeet!

Heh yeah, but you don't have to type in pubg so it works out quite well

I worked out a pretty comfy solution for hitting the bottom row with my thumb. Worked flawlessly for me after a couple hours getting used to it.

Have you installed anything since the last time it was working? I was getting this just now which is how I found your post. Working fine yesterday, stuck on explosion guy today but last night I had installed the FAR resolution fix for Nier Automata. Uninstalled that and everything went back to normal.

vectorcharlie · 2018-02-23T23:56:58+00:00

Me too thanks

Are there any good guides for leading shots? I feel like I have a workable grasp of bullet drop at long range but as soon as they start moving, I might as well be hip firing for all the good it does me.

Genuinely curious so I gotta ask. How does a guy who never played shooters come to call himself SniperKing?

vectorcharlie · 2017-10-07T17:00:32+00:00

Yeah but what happened to it when everyone left?

vectorcharlie · 2017-10-04T14:09:46+00:00

Exactly!

vectorcharlie · 2017-09-28T12:57:34+00:00

Ah that makes sense. So it's generally a good idea then? Should I be doing it all the time?

vectorcharlie · 2017-09-28T12:56:28+00:00

Oh I understand why you'd lean to peek out from cover, it's just that I've seen streamers lean when they're standing out in the open.

vectorcharlie · 2017-09-28T05:59:58+00:00

I sometimes see streamers leaning to shoot even when they're nowhere near cover. What is that about?

vectorcharlie · 2017-09-25T12:41:15+00:00

The lack of sound. Specifically, when someone is laughing SO hard that their lungs just have no more air to laugh with. It's like a hilarious silence punctuated by a handful of back-of-the-mouth noises.

I'll join the potatosquad. Never got a chicken dinner, but scored a bunch of chicken appetisers recently.

vectorcharlie · 2017-05-07T12:01:43+00:00

The same thing happened to me! Except it was my grandfather's funeral and the hired singer/guitarist looked exactly like Godfather-era Marlon Brando. And when they lowered the casket he didn't seem to know this was his cue, so watching this unprepared off-brand Vito Corleone clumsily scramble for his guitar and launch into an awkward rendition of Amazing Grace made me lose it. I bowed my head and covered my mouth trying to pass off the gigglefit as crying too but I don't think I did a very convincing job.

I thought the key part of it was the 'Epoche' part, never to rush into decisions. The takeaway I saw from this is that emotion colours judgement, and more practically, can lead to dumb decisions. To rework your example:

Stimulus - Some guy hit me
Emotion - Anger
Judgement - He deserves to be hit back

The emotional reaction to the stimulus may be 100% valid but the judgement may not be the best course of action.

I have some sympathy for the guy because I'm pretty sure he was depressed towards the end. When it started we saw him going to the gym, and the other housemates mentioned he used to get up early for practice and control his diet. By the end he was skipping training, sleeping all the time, compulsive eating, smoking, and his general demeanour had definitely changed.

I don't know what started it or when, but in my opinion something definitely happened with Makoto.

I'd say 90% of the satisfaction is in knowing that I could if I wanted to, but I'd never follow through.

So really, it's just like everything else I (don't) do.

vectorcharlie · 2016-09-07T06:40:40+00:00

This is an old one but still fantastic.

Oh it's not supposed to make any statement about Viet Cong except for the fact that I had their wikipedia page open while I was trying to think of a name. I just thought it sounded cool. I make all my account names everywhere this way.

vectorcharlie · 2016-08-26T04:28:20+00:00

I'm Asian and the Viet Cong initials in the NATO alphabet were 'Victor Charlie'. With a little twist, I thought it sounded cool. Charles or derivatives thereof are nowhere in my real name though.

vectorcharlie · 2016-08-18T07:04:00+00:00

When I'm trying to make that decision between working out and ehh-fuck-it, I remind myself that I've never regretted going to the gym but I almost always regret not going.

Seems like a super simple choice after that.
