Sooooo..... we're doing incel shit posting now?

This sort of black pill doomerism seriously destroys your mental health. You don't have to be a Chad to find a girlfriend friends, but thinking your not "conventionally attractive" enough to date is a self fulfilling prophecy.

I don't know where I saw it, and I can't seem to find it again, but I remember one video where a girl uses Cavill as an example of what SOME women find attractive. He's good-looking, yes, but what really got her was how he can talk about his interests with such passion. I'm obviously paraphrasing.

[–] ArcaneSlime 2 points 28 minutes ago

As someone with crippling ADHD, if impassioned talking about my interests is cool, consider me Miles Davis.

Problem is, the same girl who finds it attractive will find it annoying in a week or two, and all of a sudden that thing she liked makes me a jerk.

Must be nice to be super hot, very well known, and incredibly wealthy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 30 minutes ago

you know this isn't a real quote, right?

... but yeah I'm sure it doesn't hurt

So I recently found out my ex wife had a type. A type she desperately wanted me to fit into. A type that she would make me go to clothing stores for specific shirts that look good on pretty much no one but Henry Cavill.

I did not look like Henry Cavill. Turns out around the time we divorce she goes through this phase swooning over Henry Cavill. Then she cheats on me with a dude I don't know the name of (except I've unfortunately seen his dick) and low and behold he has this kind Henry Cavill build.

Fast forward several years to now. I lost about 100lbs. Started lifting. Getting swole cause it was fun now that my body was smaller. Ate more protein, added creatine. Drink lots of water. I need different shirts. I dig out some old shirts, the only ones that sort of fit well are the ones she got at clothing stores that look good on pretty much no one but Henry Cavill. Turns out they still don't look good on me, not because I'm not Henry Cavill, but I'm not a fuckboy.

I searched this text because I thought it might be copypasta. Great read lmao

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

I can’t even lie I thought the same

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

Feels like it sometimes NGL

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 hours ago (5 children)

Ok so yes looking like Henry Cavill helps but how do you expect to go on a date with someone you like without asking them out? An amulet of Mara?

[–] Eyedust 1 points 48 minutes ago

I mean, it is tempting to buy a replica Amulet of Mara and go to bars with it proudly on. Anyone that understood the meaning would prossibly be within compatibility range.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Amulets of Mara should honestly be a thing for normal people that don't want to use an app designed for shallow fucking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

shallow fucking

is that what the kids call "just the tip" nowadays?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I thought you were supposed to sit there and blush every time they look at you (but avoid eye contact) and then (redacted) and you're married

[–] ArcaneSlime 1 points 20 minutes ago

You must have asked a woman, ime that's the "big hint" that I'm the idiot for missing. No if you're a dude you have to pursue them but also not do that at all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Note that he says: "just ask her out".

Don't try to find out anything more about her. Don't try to see if maybe she might be interested. Don't do anything other than ask her out.

Now, sure, it's going to be hard to get someone to go out with you unless at some point you ask them out. But, if you follow his advice you're probably going to face a lot more rejection before you get a yes... unless you look like him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

The problem isn't the asking, its the always having them say yes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I was about to ask who cares what some random dude says, but judging by the comments I'm the only one who isn't familiar with him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

lol he's the DCEU superman actor as well as for the Netflix The Witcher series, The Tudors, Man from UNCLE, Mission Impossible: Fallout.

I don't think it's relevant to this specific meme though. He's just handsome as all hell.

https://www.koimoi.com/hollywood-news/when-henry-cavills-man-of-steel-co-star-amy-adams-found-it-hard-to-film-romantic-scene-with-the-superman-actor-he-has-this-effect-on-you/

Amy [Adams] said, “Whenever I looked into his eyes, I started giggling because he has this effect on you. I think most women feel the same way about Henry. He’s dreamy.”

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Well, turns out I'm not gay afterall, because he does nothing for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 minutes ago

Yeah he's handsome, but have you seen Mads Mikkelsen? Uggghhhhhh 🤤

[–] [email protected] 66 points 6 hours ago (5 children)

..yes? That's what you have to do. Maybe she says no. Maybe she says yes. Doing nothing definitely won't get you anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Why doesn't she have to ask me out? That doesn't seem very equitable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

She could ask you out. But if you just wait you're giving up your initiative. Use your agency.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Exactly. I'm a dude and my SO all but asked me out (asked for my number and whatnot). At some point someone needs to take initiative, and the sooner that happens, the better it is for everyone, so it might as well be you, regardless of your gender.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The issue is the "always works for me", the same way an old white man is going to have a lot less trouble with the police or telling a handicapped person to just walk the stairs because it "always works for me".

Just gotta follow rules 1 & 2

[–] [email protected] 41 points 6 hours ago (6 children)

Just ask if she plays Warhammer bro

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

What if she says yes? She will think I'm some nerd who plays Warhammer. I'll just embarrass myself by knowing nothing about Warhammer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 minutes ago

"awesome, I've always wanted to get into it but none of my friends wanted to. would you mind introducing me to the game sometime?"

just have a couple thousand dollars ready in case she says yes again.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Send me her number. Because she clearly knows Tau are the only good guys in Warhammer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Only if you’re cool with psychic brainwashing and a pseudo hive mind.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly. Pseudo hive mind.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Also, shooting? Who the fuck has time for that? Guns are for show, chain swords are for pros.

I’ll stick with my face punching, pissed off, genocidal, flying, fascist space vampires, thank you very much. No brainwashing involved with them, no sir. Not one bit.

I’d bring up giant robot coffins, too, but crisis suits are fuckin’ rad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I personally enjoy the shoulder launched cruise missile that has a 6 foot range on the Broadside.

It might be pretty showy. And it might not create a gore fest Saw fans would be jealous of. And it might feel clunky.

Ok actually I don't have anything I just like being artillery with legs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

All of those things, like all of 40K, are great things.

I just like being fists/chainswords with jump packs and dead guy robots, I get it.

I also love melee deep strikes into artillery armies, chef’s kiss.
