@michael30909628@belmerann@sgprodcomix I'm sorry you lack the sense to realize that art is a skill without being spoonfed. The dictionary doesn't define basketball as a skill, so get ready, go play in the NBA, and while we're at it, watching sports is a sport, because the dictionary didn't explicitly say otherwise.
@michael30909628@sgprodcomix@belmerann I'm saying that the dictionary doesn't like to use circular definitions! A bit silly to say "a skill requiring skill" if you understand that. Aside from that "art" is a massive umbrella as well, of many skills. I hope this helps!
@michael30909628@sgprodcomix@belmerann It literally is a skill and that's what I'm trying to tell you? Talent is a word to discredit effort, which the world is actually built upon. I'm sorry that honing a skill (any skill, not just making art) takes time spent learning and practicing, and you take offense to that.
@michael30909628@sgprodcomix@belmerann This may come as a surprise, but for art, sometimes you also have to start with "following the recipe book" to learn how things are. Most artists have done numerous studies to learn the "recipes" to make their art! Nearly all artists are also using reference images.
@GoldieRingtail Shout out to explanations in the back of xxxholic manga about all the very Japanese things, love you xxxholic omnibuses, you told me about things that aren't even on English Wikipedia
@Saulgudmanne78@Aristotle7777 Well there's your problem, you're listening to Miley Cyrus. Consider perhaps Florence Welch, Ellie Goulding, Aurora Aksnes. There are many options, why choose Miley Cyrus and complain that she sounds like the disaster that she is? There are plenty of ladies with pretty voices.
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician As I've told many people many times, I've tried. I don't have a height preference, but a lot of them get weird about it and excuse me of "mocking them" for whatever mundane things or lying about not caring about height.
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician Well, a lot of guys won't date a woman that tall, but that's just something I have to deal with. Complaining doesn't get me anywhere, I can't make someone date me.
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician Alright? So attitude can only hurt? If she is attracted to you, why wouldn't you want to improve your chances? And if someone isn't attracted, they aren't. I don't see an issue. I've gotten plenty of "sorry, I can't see myself dating a taller girl" but what can you do?
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician In what world in that anything meaningful though? I definitely am not going over to the house of someone I hardly know. I've ended a lot of conversations over that.
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician I said it's acting flaky to dodge dates all the time. If you see it as nothing more than a waste of time, I'm sorry, but women don't tend to agree, and this will hurt your chances. Many women will pay if you say something ahead of time.
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician I didn't say you were short, just that those often are a good example of how your attitude can sabotage you. Just something to keep in mind. The mindset is probably only making it more difficult.
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician Do you not see that in the process this leads to men kinda turning into the flaky ones? Do you really expect to go through things so passively?
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician Okay, you can think so, but I think it's not only a "shit deal" but also irresponsible and selfish to possibly bring a child into things like that.
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician Well I mean, you aren't a woman, and I assume you aren't gay. But there's a bit more to it, and often the defeatist attitude is what makes you the most unattractive. I have many other threads where I talk about the short kings and their self-fulfilling prophecy.
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician Then the 2 that seem interested beyond that end up never wanting to actually go on a date. Sometimes they won't even expend the energy to play video games with me. I think there's a problem with people just saying things and not ever actually doing anything now though.
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician I don't find wading through unserious messages of a bunch of guys ignoring my wishes and reaching out when I say no hookups to be opportunity. Hundreds of matches is definitely a very large over estimate, as is 30% in my experience. Usually about a 2/20 situation.
@tralalerot74594@LizzosDietician I am a woman? Around average? I get some messages, but not a lot. I often get told because either my above average height or that I'm upfront about waiting until marriage. That still isn't what I was talking about though. I'm asking about actual dates and proactive plans.
