When someone genuinely likes you they will listen to you talk for hours about anything just because they like hearing you be passionate about something.
I dated a woman much taller than me, and received an unnatural amount of glances at my crotch when we were out in public together.
People are so ridiculous.
It's extremely rare to see a couple in the wild where the woman is taller though. Life is cruel to short dudes.
She was just shy of 6’3” (189 cm). She didn’t have a ton of options but to date shorter guys.
Haha yeah no kidding. That's extremely tall for a woman. As a guy I feel tall at 183cm.
I'm ~190cm and sometimes see someone a full head taller than me at work. There's always a bigger fish...
ok kay but ...?
Point being, people always think it’s about the sex, and not like, that the person is interesting, kind, charming, or rich.
Yes :)

Everyone thinks rules 1 and 2 are:
- Be attractive
- Dont be unattractive
But really they are:
- Be a nice person
- Dont be an asshole
- Wash your ass.
- Cardio
- Get off 4chan
i met my wife on 4chan
Fake: nobody on 4 chan gets married
Gay: everyone on 4chan is a middle aged dude
All the blokes I've met that are happy in love are just gentle and respectful, especially of consent.
Turns out, and I know this is a shocker, we're not fucking aliens we just want to be treated as equally valuable and interesting people.
If you were getting it on with aliens, you'd be especially valuable and interesting.

But do not confuse being a nice person with being a 'nice guy'.
huh i thought they were:
- be a nice person
- take showers
Attempting to avoid triggering negative feelings (e.g. disgust) in the people around you is part of #1.
That generally requires #2, but might not depending other actions and niche situations.

My wife played way more fallout than me. I didn’t even play New Vegas and she wrapped that shit like three times. Girls liking video games isn’t that abnormal, idk why all these gamer nerds have been lead to believe that video gaming is unilaterally a male hobby and that women who like games are unicorn levels of rare. Like at least a solid third of the girls I know are more into video games than I am. Given I’m no hardcore gamer, but this attitude is always silly to me.
Women just don't thrive on competition the way we do. They will absolutely nerd out on most other shit though, anything from Pokemon party builds to Fallout lore to puzzles.
The only other girl filter I've seen besides competition is the hardcore autistic stuff like logistics and simulators; not nearly as many women playing Factorio, Mudrunner, Elite, etc.. They're out there though, and there are exceptions like Wurm Online that attract more women than you would otherwise expect.
Yeah, I can agree with that. My wife likes playing smash bros with me and my friends, but she’s nowhere near the levels of me and my two buddies who are really good. She’s getting there slowly tho.

Women actually like vg yo. I would know, i got my wife into them when we met (she hadn't played games since she was a kid) and now, while i still take the crown in side-scrollin platformers and fighters? she whips my ass in shooters and it's not actually close.
My wife destroys me in puzzle games, farm management sims and difficult platformers that make me rage like Spelunky. Any shooter however, she is a bit lost but she happily loots away and explores while I’m demolishing everything. It’s nice having a shared activity we can nerd out about.
My wife would casually watch me play games until she saw me playing Rust with the bros. She shyly asked if I could build her a computer.
Brother I had been building, fixing, and overclocking PCs for like 20 years by that point, a few a month even. I slapped one together from spare parts and got her in the game.
She immediately used the fact that she is a girl to work her way into the good graces of other factions and made us friends I couldn't have imagined. She would change her name and kill sleepers to make our enemies think they had been raided by other enemies. She would make friends with the resident assholes and then map out their base layout for us.
My group has people in it like a top 10k solo no-build Fortnite player, a guy who regularly airdisked people 300m away in Tribes, and two top World of Tanks NA players: we are a force to be reckoned with on any day. She was armed with nothing but kindness and help for good people, and wrath for those who wronged good people.
She fit right in.
Allof the attitude things mentioned plus a bath. Fuckers get better hygene ffs!
Is there anything worse than being a tall person who's into crazy taller people.
I cry every night.
Being a not as short person that's into taller people but lives in a short country. All the same problems but I don't even get to say I'm tall. I was recently in Budapest and a guy dropped a beer on me because he turned around and literally didn't even register me existing around 20cm below his eye line. He was very nice about the whole thing and even bought me a beer but man...

What's really cool is when people care for each other they don't mind talking about each other's hobbies.
My wife listened to me get mad about Mass Effect 3 so I'm pretty sure she loves me.

Probably didn't go in with the idea that the only way she would be interested in similar hobbies was for her to be whipped in some way and just treated her like a person. 🤷🏿♀️
