Accept yourself to accept others. Love others to learn that love is always a gift. And realize it was never about worth. website: https://xitter.cf/t.co/jn6BWtKtwG

False. Two yellows can work. Two greens can work if they both love the challenge. For *this* dynamic I generally recommend co-op games like Zombicide, where there is a challenge for green without directing their aggression at yellow.
any couple should have one of each

I'm hoping for one that doesn't mind "gremlin" or "creature" and who sometimes (when I am truly delighted) earns "pet"
every woman secretly wants to be called trouble by a man who's clearly enjoying it

hey so, nobody "deserves" anything, that's not how it works. getting what you think you "deserve" breeds entitlement, which kills relationships. BUT don't be with someone who doesn't want to put in effort. and who you don't want to put effort into real love is inconvenient
hey so, don’t settle. you’re not asking for too much & you are worth more than someone who won’t put effort into you the way you deserve.

I have a cast iron pan and plants that have been alive for a year and a half...ladies.

Women who say "I am the table" don't realize the implications. First off, I have 9 tables and a desk. Second, I am not *loyal* to any of these tables. Third, I have never, never in my life, cared about the happiness and wellbeing of my table.

The question "what do you bring to the table" is asking "how are you as a teammate?" and "in what ways can I count on you?" It's a bid for human connection. "I am the table" says "I'm pretty fungible. Leave me behind if you don't have room for me and replace me if you want."

"I'm not hungry" she says. I don't believe her so I peel two mandarins and divide them into sections before eating them. I put them on my plate, just within her reach. If she doesn't take any I'll eat both. I never have to.
Marriage is a beautiful relationship where: One says "I'm hungry" The other says "What should we eat?" And after 30 minutes, both are still deciding! 😂

"You don't seem autistic" Me: "Bet" Proceeds to spend the rest of the conversation staring you directly in the eyes, unblinking, only expression coming from sometimes flaring my eyes. (This is what my "complete attention" looks like when I'm not trying to make you comfortable)

Peak WoW experience is seeing your friends start a new character and immediately mailing them some starting bags

Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner." So out of the ground the Lord God formed dogs. And brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And he called them "good boy" and "good girl" and they were good.

The most romantic thing a girl can possibly tell a man is that she'd live with you anywhere, in any situation, for any length of time. That none of the details even matter, because you are her true home

Please fall in love with someone who genuinely wants you, patiently waits for your messages, understands you even in your madness, and talks to you after a fight. The right person sees the mess and the moods, but still chooses you.

C If A and B are inevitable, they are useless. D would only make me angrier E will show me by their actions F is either already known or inevitable (thus useless) G doesn't change anything about my life and i discovered how to steer towards H twenty years ago.
you have 8 envelopes in front of you. A. the date you die. B. your future net worth. C. the name of your soulmate. D. the people who betrayed you. E. the people who truly love you. F. your biggest regret in life. G. what happens after you die. H. the meaning of your life. you can only open one.

I wish I were married. And had like 8 sets of married friends. So I could organize some sort of party. And coordinate with the dudes to all wear the same shirt and/or costume. Seemingly on accident. And then give an excited, collective "Hey!" with each subsequent arrival.

We would do this solely to troll our wives. It would harm no one. It would be epic.

Oh. No. No no no no no no no. No. We defeat the 200 evils first. THEN you decide if you want to date me.

"optimal" according to what criteria? all proxy metrics eventually lead to empty hell loops
In the future, an AI will be able to see the entire pool and tell you who the optimal person on earth is for you. Many won't like the idea today, but in practice it will be a miracle.

I generally recommend six months, (and for new friendships as well). That's usually enough time to experience both character AND conflict.
In dating, it would behoove a lot of people to pay attention to time. No one can go through 90 days without revealing themselves. They can perform 30 maybe 60 days with a few yellow flags. But by 90 you can discern character.

I have gotten a month long crush on a woman simply from her diction. Yes.
Men, be honest... has a woman's voice ever made you instantly find her more attractive??

I like to imagine backstories for my characters, even in games that don't require them. Like in WoW I got Rumgon Brewmore. He's a Dwarf. His dad liked making puns out of the family name

or Daisy Leathers. "Leathers" isn't her birth name. She was a farm girl raised by a Light-loving family, and she looks the part...if it weren't for all the demon-summoning.
