Pallando will return in "Never Say Never Again"

[toku]

you'll be alright

[El Babua]

Talk about memes with her.

[Atramental]

[king of the internet]

[Atramental]

She wasn't there.

Granted, she does live in North Carolina.

Anyways, I ended up talking with one of my design/college buddies about possibly setting up a group for all of us designers who are trying to make it in this dog eat dog world. We would possibly meet once a month or every two months and trade tips & advice about business and what not. Maybe once I sober up I'll start messaging some of my design friends about it.

I think this shit could really create a lot of value for people in my immeditate group of designer friends.

[Phoenix Dark]

maybe Pallando is already in a relationship: with his job. goes to meet a hot chick at a party...ends up meeting his job. thinks about doing cool stuff with escorts...ends up staying home with his job. 

[Atramental]

It's the only thing that I'm good at. 

[Phoenix Dark]

This is basically the plot of Mr Robot.

[king of the internet]

Need to watch Mr Robot. Someone told me I remind him of the main character. 

[Madrun Badrun]

The best way to get IG girls is to be rich and Arab, Pal.  Have you tried that? 

[toku]

I hope someone is there for you as your face your mentall illnesses

[Phoenix Dark]

hold her close and never let her go

Maybe he's just saying that I'm good at computers. 

[naff]

I'll just do my usual "have a few drinks and go with the flow" strategy.

edit:
Also, I already posted this in the outside link thread but this how I'm going to approach Tinder from now on:


Not giving one single fuck.

My impression of tinder in the US now    

I live in a city full of anxious white liberals, it's p hot, i imagine it's kinda like Seattle. That short series they flipped through almost too good...

Also, Hannibal saying they're C- celebrities  dudes face was all over the place in NYC and LA last time i was there.

[Atramental]

That's most likely the Tinder population in LA.


Elsewhere the results are a lot different.

Even if a girl is dating someone else, (many) will still cast out lines to hook other guys in case that relationship fails. Many are insecure and afraid to be alone and will always have an 'exit plan' if shit goes south.

So, it's not really 'leading you on', just letting you know you're in the 'on deck' circle.

I mean thats fine and I had no problem "being an deck", but I guess my frustration comes from the fact that it was fruitless. I did'nt mean to catch feels, but I did and that annoys me. Now that I've caught feels and don't see that repriocated I feel stupid. Espically, because I don't think I made it up or projected. So many people have asked me about this and thought there was something there, even sometimes her own boyfriend. So I just feel stupid and I kind of don't want anything to do with this girl. Is that wrong? Like I don't think you can really go back to being friends when your cards are the table like that and I feel kind of angry about it. Of course this has gotten a lot of blowback from friends who think I'm just being a bitch. Which I guess I am a little bit, but I don't know I think it makes perfect since why I would kind of just want to drop this person. Or maybe I am being a huge douche.

Second Tinder girl:

Turns out she's a transsexual escort in Bahrain.

Pass.

What have you got against Bahrainians?

[Huff]

A ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-bahrainians

It's fake/staged.  Hope this helps.

[naff]

Not really, im on the fence. I've done/said weirder shit to people on tinder, why would you fake that?

[PlayDat]

I don't think it's fake, but I'm sure it was heavily edited.  Could have been a couple hours of swiping that got condensed into less than 10 minutes of video.  We're not seeing all the women who didn't have entertaining reactions or those who didn't respond at all.  The made a nice YouTube vid, but I wouldn't take much from it except maybe "don't take yourself so seriously".

[ToxicAdam]

All of those magazines have interns that could easily make accounts and play along.

Anything that has been 'produced' has been meddled with.


Still entertaining as hell though.

[Alcoholic Fish]

She said yes 

You have my condolences.

Got two matches on Tinder (out of hundreds I swiped right on). 

Yet I feel zero motivation to message these two woman back since they're probably inundated with hundreds if not thousands of messages from an army's worth of Chad Thundercocks.

[demi]

On the contrary, fat bald guys are fuego

[Atramental]

I'm like... mike stoklasa fat right now.

[I'm a Puppy!]

have you seen how many average looking fatties have hot girlfriends

it all doesn't matter as long as your game is strong

Poor Pallando

[Tasty]

Also Mike isn't super big for his height. He's above average but I wouldn't say he's obese or anything.

A better comparison might have been Vintage Jay. Dude was pretty pudgy back in the day.

[toku]

fuck these bitches man focus on your career, get a non gaming hobby, enrich your soul/spirit/life. Let the potency of your magic accrue.

Everytime I see "Last Post by Pallando" in the relationship thread I think something would've finally worked out for him.

 Nooooope

Prediction: this post will get 7+ likes by tomorrow night.

Speaking on it will put it out in the universe thus making it happening. See Pollando, magic is real.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I stopped seeing hookers.  Next year I want to get porcelain veneers, a down payment on a house, and a motorcycle.  I was needlessly throwing money away, especially when I'm doing fine having sex with girls for free

[Rufus]

T supplements stopped working?

I hope you're going for a sane shade with the veneers.

nah they're both soft fatbodies. hit the gym brehs.

[Atramental]

Swiped right on that bisexual, artist girl (aka Penis Girl) on Tinder.

[Atramental]

Swiped right on a cutey with full blown alopecia but she didn't swipe right on my bald ass. 

[Kara]

I kind of see why most of my (few remaining) friends are either also workaholics or members of the leisure class. People outside those categories really fucking suck and maintaining their personal life when work becomes unexpectedly demanding.

On a related note, I have been quietly collecting a list of impossible-to-navigate-in-their-entirety dealbreakers to support Operation: Born-Again (Emotional) Wizard for its duration. My favorite so far is "Does not know what the Battle of Dunkirk was." (Big ups to the Batdork director for this one.)

[Rahxephon91]

Since uploading a much better picture, I've done better on Tinder which has actually given me a little boost in confidence. I'm not ugly!

But I'm very bad at actually conversing. Even in person I really have to click with someone for me to talk and even care about the conversation. Obviously it's a bit harder through text and with people I don't know.

Anyone have any pointers and what you talk about and how you go about it?

Ask a question every single message. If you ask three questions without the other reciprocating, move on.

That's not bad advice.
I believe I said this earlier, but treat each conversation as preparation for your next conversation with someone else. Learn something new, etc.

[Huff]

Got to also make the move from chatting to meeting pretty quick. If's its longer than a week or so it's probably not going to happen.

[Samson Manhug]

I think a week is too long. If you've both swiped right, then she's interested. Chat for an hour max (depending on frequency of messages*—if they are coming quick then 20 minutes) and then ask for her number. Another hour (same as before) and ask her out.

There might be some privilege I need to check here, but my basic logic is if she swiped right and gave you her number, she wants to be asked out. No sense putting it off. It's more fun to learn about her on a date than during texts.

*If the frequency is super slow, like a message every 4 hours, move on. The Brad Pitt rule applies here: if you looked like Brad Pitt, would she wait 4 hours? In my opinion, this is a good gauge of her interest in pretty much all things.

[Huff]

I meant you needed to try to meet up within a week of matching, even if it's just something simple.

I don't necessarily go by frequency of messages as long as she still responds. Especially in the post college crowd. Things get busy. Sometimes I'll message people at work when it's slow then not be able to respond for another 6 or so hours.

[I'm a Puppy!]

yeah, people have jobs and shit. 4 hours seems a bit short.

[Kara]

There might be some privilege I need to check here,

lol yes

[nudemacusers]

male beauty isn't a privilege, it's a right

[Kara]

If she can squeeze you in the first week, great!

If she can't, she's actually got a life, which is even better.

[nudemacusers]

yeah, something to destroy #relationshipgoals

[Bebpo]

yeah, people have jobs and shit. 4 hours seems a bit short.

Most people I talk to through these kind of sites follow the 1 message per day rule.  There are some conversations I've had with people where it's like 1 message every 2-4 days, but it works both ways as I only message people back when I've got some free time.

If she can squeeze you in the first week, great!

If she can't, she's actually got a life, which is even better.

I had a date the other day that came after maybe 3-4 days of messages.  But then the second date is like two weeks later because we're both busy.  We still talk, but there's no rush and we've got lives.

[Samson Manhug]

I dunno, I get being casual and busy but the point of the app is to date, not have an e-buddy. Completely anecdotal, but one girl I went out with complained that guys were too talky and not enough ask outy. He who dares wins and all that.

There's a lot of guides about Tinder and whatnot written by women for men. Those are worth a glance, I think.

[brawndolicious]

Dating is like trying to get a job. Anonymous cold calls/online applications are almost worthless but if you end up getting an interview, you've pretty much got it. Unless you don't sound like you believe half the shit on your resume.

[Phoenix Dark]

There might be a generational divide here. Personally I never feel obligated to immediately respond to texts, and when I used tinder I wasn't responding to every message within 24 hours either. But I think Rhax is younger than us and thus more likely to deal with people in the "respond ASAP all day" crowd.

[tiesto]

Back a few years ago when I was dating, I'd wait a day or two between responses, and on the 3rd or 4th message of mine I'd ask her out. Seemed to work pretty well back then.
