The creepy sex cases good people of ree think they have a loophole to fool women 

A good way to get around this is to remove cold approaching from the formula. Join rec sports leagues, be a regular at bar trivia, volunteer at an animal shelter or an arboretum or something, join a book club, attend public events like street fests or live music at the park, or just stuff that gets you more into social spaces around people where you can form friendships. So long as you approach them with general interest and friendship first and not as a place to "meet women", things will eventually fall into place naturally where you're meeting more people in general and expanding your network to where you end up being a familiar face that can be vouched for by your friends and your actions over time.

All that to say is that cold approaching is NOT easy for many reasons, even if you remove all of the technology concerns. If a woman is in a grocery store minding her own business, it's exceedingly more likely that she just wants to be left alone to get her groceries than to have some random stranger approaching with interest in getting her number. I think our perception is very warped from media that meet-cute situations or cold approaching in public is something that most women (or most people) want to experience.

Yeah guys. Just slither into their social spaces and pretend you want to be friends with these chicks. There’s no way they’d see through it.

Hmm Zeo being dismissive and abusive to women again.  He keeps showing that misogyny that runs through his veins.

Even if this has released and didn't turn out well, I'd much rather see a Star Wars film stumble from taking a swing than retreating into cheap nostalgia and pandering like they did with Episode IX

But that was the reason the franchise is in the dumbs, they tried to do something new half assedly and now no one watches the Sequel trilogy even when free.

this is why y'all are never going to win, this lady is saying she's going to send zionist and ice off to camps and castrate pedos but now y'all are against it??

Y'all really don't know what y'all want.

“She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” Galindo wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend, referring to herself in the third person. “It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists.”

so glad IrishNinja got perma'd, or else he'd have to deal with these turncoats.

How do you people not even feel a little embarrassed acting like this?

[Boredfrom]

Oh ffs, she's def a GOP plant

She's a fucking psyop

   

Get her out of here. Way to help the Zionists.

You guys have outright said that Israel civilians are sick from the head and deserve being killed. 

She isn't a psyop. She's very genuine, she just has no proper education in the subject of Zionism.

She's the product of contradictions constantly meshing up against each other in the US with a lack of a clear unified voice against genocide.

ProTip: when criticizing Israel, don’t use Zionist and Zionism as if is a term yourself understand.  

Why do they think she is a plant? ERA have said stupid shit like this, just yesterday some of Hamas Era was justifying violence.

This is the equivalent of a fat guy giving you weightloss tips. Even if he's partially right by happenstance (going out and touching grass is obviously the first step), he doesn't really know what he's talking about and I doubt he does any of those things himself. It's a lobster roll post so it isn't surprising.

I will still never forget the time this girl walked up to me in a Whole Foods, tapped me on the shoulder, took one of my headphones out of my ears, and then randomly complimented my nose. I was so shellshocked by the completely random approach (and her laser-targeting on one of my personal insecurities about my body) that if she was trying to flirt, it didn't land at all.

Love to know he shops in Whole Foods. What a bougee guy. The her taking his headphones out of his ear is such a nice touch.

Feels like an 80s high school movie.

 Do these people have jobs? 

When you knowingly and willingly work for a Nazi for years you're probably a Nazi.

The views are going to make it into the game even if they're not the main focus.

Era actually pushed back on this, surprisingly.

This is just not true though. KCD 2 had great representation. Including groups that very rarely get represented in games like Jews during the middle ages and the Romani (both of which were groups hated by the Nazis, but portrayed fairly positively on KCD2).

Vavra is a piece of shit and deserves everything thrown at him. But it's not like there are hundreds of studios for devs in Czechia to pick and choose from. Working at Warhorse does not mean you are a Nazi and the content of the game does not reflect nazi ideology and in fact does the opposite.

There's a certain kind of voter who swaps teams and thinks they're voting in what the country needs. Its a Fisher Price level of understanding of politics, but those people exist.

They keep forgetting that Vavra is jewish. He's not literally a Nazi

Daniel vavra is such a funny guy because he's a chud but he's also one of the few "historical accuracy!!!" nerds who really means it. a lot of fellow chuds got mad at him for adding a black guy and gay romance in kingdom come 2 and he put out a well researched response on how everything he put in the game is historically accurate. it made me shake my head because those dorks don't really care about historical accuracy

Maybe there should be some introspection then that you just created a guy in your head that doesn't match reality? How do you even know that he's just one of the few who actually means it?

Poor B-Dubs, Can't figure out why Resetera is so extreme.

And a counterpoint to "anti-Semites don't win GOP primaries":

I will give Trump a bit of credit, his "we don't want them (anti-Semites)" line was stronger than any Canadian first minister. The lowest of bars, but still.

Meanwhile Melanie Joly is all "I can't say anything, look at the demographics of my riding."

I think you're being a bit harsh there. That's generally good advice and not necessarily specific to dating...these people need to be more social and meet more real people with diverse thoughts and opinions. If that leads to meeting someone who shares a mutual attraction, that's not creepy, it's normal. 

However, I also acknowledge that these people can't just be normal and would probably make any social interaction very creepy.

This is the most retarded take over ever seen on Resetera. 

Break it down. They're accusing anyone who considers their vote based on the policies of the candidates of lacking a mature understanding of politics and are instead saying you should always vote for the same team no matter who they put up or the policies they bring of being the ones with the deep knowledge of politics. 

Fuck me these people are dangerous...

Oh and oldie but a goody. PussySmasher only ever interacted with women 3 times in his life, and he keeps repeating the same stories. My favorite is the one where he went to a sports bar on a date during the Olympics and the gal apparently just watched the game on the TV behind him and barely said a thing to him while eating all his French fries. He hasn’t shared that one in a while tho

However, I also acknowledge that these people can't just be normal and would probably make any social interaction very creepy.

I think the context is important, i.e. where this was posted and who the intended audience is. 

Ignoring the original article and just applying this to Era, "You need more real life interactions to get comfortable in group settings" is extremely valid and there is a discussion to be had about the struggle of making new friends post-college and the hardships of dating in your 30s or 40s. However, this specific advice, for your average "forever alone" Era poster in a best case scenario, would probably just land most of these dudes in friendzone situations and not in relationships. They're terrified of rejection to begin with which molds their social skills, or lack thereof. I read a lot of Dating-Age back in the day and a vast majority of the posters purposefully avoid these exact type of social situations out of fear or anxiety and if they did actually find a connection, it was unrequited. Usually with a co-worker because those are easier to forge and less stressful most of the time. 

This is telling the morbidly obese person to cut back on soda and candy and eat more vegetables. Yeah, it's technically true, but it's in one ear and out the other because there are other psychological forces at play and the current behaviors are deeply ingrained and feel comfortable. 

The truth is most of these types need to work on a dozen other little things before even thinking about a relationship. That's not how human brains work though, so it's easy to get stuck in the trap of "if only I had a gf/bf, everything would be better" which is where a lot of the terminally online folks get stuck. Instead of putting energy toward fixing the smaller things or developing a craft or hobby which actually takes work, it turns into self-pity for not being able to tackle the big stuff and a downward spiral towards inaction and loneliness.

Whenever I go on a first date I always 3 very important questions.

1. Have you ever read a Harry Potter book?
2. What are your thoughts on Daniel Vavra? (No answer or "I've never heard of him" is incriminating)
3. Did you vote for Kamala?

The wrong answer to any of those and I'm immediately outta there. I don't wanna be seen in a Nazi bar.
