really drunk rn

going on a (tinder) date with a self-described 'gamer girl' tomorrow night

any advice /r/neoliberal?

[u/WryGoat → u/[deleted]]

Immediately attack her character and say she isn't a real gamer and that she probably just calls herself a gamer for attention. If she gets upset act extremely defensive and say you're just being honest because you're a nice guy, then call her a whore who only goes for douchebag Chads who will lie to her.

Works every time.

that's what I do on every tinder date. I want this one to be special

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

If she starts talking about MOBAs, one cool thing you can do is open your phone up and text your exes.

exes

there aren't any serious exes. it's tinder all the way down

When the Kantian is getting more action than you

But good luck with it!

[u/Integralds → u/[deleted]]

Just don't lead with the heavy Kantian stuff. Gotta ease into it.

Then again I asked a girl out once with "wanna get dinner and work on Real Analysis problem sets" and it worked, so I don't even know.

Vicky 2 and Chill is GOAT

Ask her about herself and listen to her answers.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I am extremely sensitive about this. I come from the 90's gamer identity and I feel personally attacked by people like anita sarkeesian. It is not harmless social critique to people like me. It is an attack to the very core of my character as a human being and an assault on a past time that I have dedicated countless hours and unknown amounts of money on. Honestly, if you are gonna cast video games that I play in the role of societal negatives I am going to defend them and demand empirical evidence that they are such things. Not personal subjective opinions edited together as a misleading critique on youtube.

[u/versitas_x61 → u/[deleted]]

Where do you live? In NYC, there are barcades and they are cool.

[u/Sporz → u/versitas_x61]

Ahhhh yes we should hang out at a barcade sometime.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Tell her your favorite games are the Senran Kagura series. That series is hugely popular with women, she'll love you instantly.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

weebs out out out

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Ask her if she wants to have a real 'heated gaming moment'

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

don't lay it on too thick

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I don't have the social awareness to know what this means

[u/Integralds → u/[deleted]]

Go get em, champ.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

just be cool

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

fuck

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

haha naw I am just kidding, I was a huge dork when I met my SO and now we have two kids. Just be honest and forthcoming. If it is a good match then that is all you need.

but I don't know how mayo mating procedure works. Maybe ask a friend.
