Males and Females

[The Ozzman]

Well is that really so 'idealized' though? Someone attractive who has a thing or two in common with you? And I don't mean a supermodel who plays D&D and is some fantasy woman. I'm not gonna hook up with some generic dumb bitch just to get some. Stay idealized I guess

It seems to be idealized in this area of the country..

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Falling in love with people because they play mtg is standard for me.

&@ you other Fools I can't add more quotes

Going from 'like' to 'love' over something that superficial is no different than really digging their tits. That's what I mean by idealized. Sure it's good to have a hobby or two in common, but being into a particular subject doesn't equal compatability.

I learned that best with my bf. I dug him because he liked metal and d&d, then a year after being together, he said fuck it to gaming and got super into listening to blues. Wouldn't even go to shows with me, just revived the interest recently. Good fucking thing we're both so independent.

Hobbies change. They're irrelevant decorations of the soul in context of a lifemate. Focus on morals and attitude.

 

[Vilden]

Yeah I agree, falling in love for real because of shared hobbies is superficial even though it definitely helps sparking the initial interest. It is very easy ro get a crush on a girl who acknowledge you for all the weird eccentric things you like but nobody else does though. Especially if it is something you are proud of but are generally looked down on.

 

[CiG]

Carpe makes a good point, not only does a shared hobby =/= compatibility but hobbies can also be a phase and suddenly the reason you pursued the person in the first place doesn't even exist anymore.

I believe it should have much more to do with personality, less about "do they tabletop" and more about "could or would they tabletop" if that makes sense. It doesn't matter as much if they read comic books but rather are they cool and down enough that you reading comic books wouldn't be a problem for them going forward.

I do like it when I'm with someone I can do things I'm interested in with, but in the end it matters more that they're cool with letting me do what I enjoy. I've been with women that actively tried to ruin my hobbies for me. Fuck that shit.

 

[Draehl]

I won't disagree that attitude/goals/morals don't mean a lot, but hell I've been a gamer since 4 years old and a metalhead since 13. I highly doubt either will change. That said, it's definitely more to avoid conflict than to necessarily do it together. The number of times I've had a woman call metal 'noise' or gaming 'childish'... You don't want to be with someone who looks down so heavily on things that mean a lot to you.

That said: a lot of that I think may just be code for wanting a guy 100% career/goal focused more for selfish reasons than actually interest in their personality. The other side of the road of loving a girl for their tits

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Common interests with someone who takes metal as a serious interest, and is into escapist genre fiction whether it's sci-fi or fantasy, obscure b-rated horror films, video games, and is opinionated on politics and philosophy (but, like me, is also in a constant dilemma as to whether or not they really give a shit about those things) have always been hard for me to come by and it's just as hard to explain to someone who doesn't understand how antisocial I had to have been at one point to develop those interests.

...and they always try. If they don't directly lie about being into metal or having an interest in metal by naming a few bands we both like, they pretend to take an interest in the fact that metal is something that makes me interesting as an individual. It never lasts and part of it is probably me needing to spend more time taking interest in them, but it's hard when I don't feel like I have much to go by. Most women I've met don't seem to see (antisocial) interests and hobbies as being as important as I do which is fine, but compatible for anything long term? It'll probably always be a trial.

Anyways, tried to text my ex to get my things back, blocked. Tried coming at her so that we can talk things and just be friends instead of hating each other, blocked. Fine. I guess that's my ok to go rebound.

I'm about to go out. Going to rock some try-hard patch vest and try and pick up some barflies. Although, I do work in the morning and I do kinda just want to play WoW these days. Regardless:

I haven't played WoW since the start of Warlords of Draenor. What's it like these days? I used to be majorly addicted to that game from mid Burning Crusade through Mists of Pandaria. So many wasted hours.

 

[Draehl]

I tried going back about a year or so ago. (I played from Vanilla - early Cataclysm) Just couldn't get into it. Though I'll admit there was a certain nostalgia to visiting Dun Morogh & Tirisfal Glades. Always my 2 favorites races/areas.

 

[Phylactery]

Oh look, a filthy Alliance player! Female trolls are the master race.

Cataclysm was pretty bad on the whole but I was addicted enough to stick with it. MoP was actually pretty good as far as raiding and when I started playing again at the start of Warlords of Draenor I really enjoyed the questing and the raids but I just couldn't devote the time to it any longer.

Wrath of the Lich King will always be my favourite, though. Probably nostalgia more than anything else, but I loved Ulduar and Ice Crown Citadel.

I was alliance if only because of friends. I wanted to play undead from the beginning. I ultimately quit because they put so much emphasis on instances. Stand around a city and queue for pvp or a raid. They ignored the open world, which kinda killed the game. Tarren Mill vs Southshore, and old school Alterac Valley was where it's at. I might revisit MMOs if they drop one that has better open world mechanics.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I'm still leveling up, but I am enjoying the new expansions a lot. I stopped playing right before Cata and I enjoyed what they were trying to do with those zones. I'm in MOP right now and dig it as well. Some of those dungeons are kinda hard as well considering I don't know the fights.

Oh, and Horde exclusively. Tauren > Orc > Undead > Troll > Goblin > Blood Elf

 

[Phylactery]

Female Troll > all. I was never big on Tauren but I like all the Horde races except Blood Elves. They can be traded for Dwarves which are super cool.

What do/did you both play? I played pretty much exclusively healers. Had them all at max level except Monk in WotlK, Cata and MoP. My favourites were Disc/Holy Priest and Resto Druid/Shaman.

This should probably be in the Gamers thread. We've derailed it.

Sea Of Thieves. I'm doing it. It's happening. Yo-ho-ho motherfucker.

 

[The Butt]

Was never big on WoW. Diablo II, on the other hand, I wasted literally years on that game. I became godly.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Diablo II is probably the only MMO I was ever able to stomach. Been debating checking out the third one but I have a feeling I'd be disappointed.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

the fuck is going on in here

 

[Dak]

All the Males without Females is what's going on.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

I shall restore balance

 

[CiG]

I think I recognise that butt.
