Mean? I didn’t meant it mean.

@Princess Arabia is the type of woman that you should go 50/50 on. Especially on the first date after you know you are not going to see her again. One shouldn’t encourage this kind of behavior.

That is what I was saying but people weren't getting it. No need to rock the boat if it is worth your while. It shouldn't be a big deal but for some girls it is a big deal.

Just as simple as veganism, right?

Hop on the magic school bus, it is free and it gets you everywhere

@Princess Arabia Those unwritten dating rules are from the 90'ies. The unwritten dating rules of 2025 are very different. If you are young hot girl and you are riding the magic bus getting free stuff left and right - for just existing - you can make those demands but as you get older the story is different...

If she is an authentic nice girl I do actually pay because I want to. If I don’t want to it is usually because for some reason which I stated.

@something_else who says I said I’m a good guy? 😅 This was actually witty. Keep working and one day you will actually live up to your username.

@Something Funny excuse me?

It depends on what your goal is. Do you want to date for a relationship or just for sex? If it is just sex you don’t want to rock the boat If it is just sex that I want I always test them on toxic feminist traits. If they are very easily triggered by certain remarks… You know what you are dealing with These girls are usually very superficial and acting authentic with these kind of girls can actually backfire because they are not use to dating good guys. They want a different type of guy.

@Princess Arabia nah try being a guy for a day and you would understand. Men need to be better negotiators. A lot of western women who don’t get turned off if you play open card but with a lot you need to play the game to even make a chance.

That is so powerful Desires of the spirit is stronger than the desires of the flesh.. But it requires some spiritual mastery... Most people are just zombying themselves through life until the reaper comes along and then it is too late.

I wouldn't call it manipulation. It is negotiation which happens in every relationship. Yea, I'm going for some drinks and playing game of billiards/pool

There is a book by GM Kasparov how life imitates chess. It is an amazing book. Everything we learn we take with us to other parts of life. It is not only with chess.

I talked to a Chinese gf. They have so many projects. Damn if this keeps up China will be the next Dubai. Insane wealth is coming to China.

AI will help Chinese censorship even more. You are not allowed to ask certain sensitive or political questions to this Chinese machine. I've tried it.

@zazen that is insane

@zazenwhy?

The thing is that the people who are fit for the job of being a mod, they don't want to do it for obvious reasons. My vote goes to Davino.

I just used Deepseek for some coding questions and it works really great. My initial observation is that it even works better than ChatGPT. A lot less gimmicky and natural.

I always thought joyblob was a black guy for some reason 😁

Good argument in court. “He - JUST - got triggered sir. Otherwise he had a good personality. “

@zazen I noticed China are also very advanced in terms of spirituality, understanding energy and tao dynamics. When you talk about energy to an European they look at you with these dazed eyes while Chinese are very natural in energy comprehension. Even on this forum it is very disappointing.
