Girlfriend problems...

[Fhqwghads]

I don't think women tend to intentionally create tests, though. Well, some do, and those are a different (and annoying) breed, but for the most part, think of the relationship like a natural system... like weather or something.

There are all sorts of forces at play, things happen, other things happen in response to it, and none of it is necessarily conscious or intended, it's just the dynamics of how you interact. She behaves a certain way, and without even thinking about it, you behave a certain way, and the equilibrium in the end (in a successful relationship) is that things remain peaceful and calm. If she strays, or it doesn't work out, things weren't in equilibrium. It wasn't a good match.

Imagine a ball in a bowl. You can shake the bowl, but the ball always settles down to the same spot at the bottom. That's a stable equilibrium, and a solid relationship. Imagine a ball on top of a mound. A little shaking and the ball rolls away, you have to struggle to maintain the balance. That is an unstable equilibrium, and a fragile relationship. Which one do you want?

As long as we're on the analogy path, let's also pretend relationships are a game of basketball! Why not, right? Now, how fun is a game where you just hold onto the ball the whole time? It's not, at all. The ball needs to be passed around. If the ball is always in your court, there's nothing to keep you interested. Conversely, if the ball is always in her court, how long do you think you can keep her interested? Now, some of the things in this thread make it sound like you should just treat women like shit or that they're not worth the effort or that bitches be crazy, but that's not true. Like basketball, good sportsmanship is also important in relationships. You do want to do nice things for her, and impress her, but still keep the game going. Be nice by playing nice, not handing the ball (and your balls) to her and letting her use you however you want. Know the difference between a friendly even match and total domination, but always be respectful.

Alternative:

tl;dr -Bitches be crazy.

I particularly enjoyed the 'Yes, I'm a girl' in every single one

Which will be immediately followed by, "hey, you're cute, can I have some gold?"

Open up your relationship. Monogamy doesn't work for most people, what makes you think you're special?

the sad thing is that actually happens. mmos especially are full of girls using it to get male attention. and i know lots of girls irl that pretend to like games so they can get male attention, too. gaming isn't what it was when we were all nerds in high school - a lot more people like it now. especially games that allow for more casual playing like wow. a lot of girls that couldn't get attention before have jumped on the 'lets make gamers worship us' bandwagon, haha. and guys that play games are seeming to have trouble picking up on the fact that there ARE a lot of girl gamers now.

The odd thing about these girl gamers is that they all believe they're a rare, special species. In 1995 female gamers were rare. In 2011 not so much.

Are you trying to imply it's not every single girl this day and age who has ever once even heard of pacman believes that they are a GAMER GURRRL?

Back in 94-95 when I was playing MUDs and really old FPS online (Delta Force in 98?) I was so clueless that I never realised there weren't many other women playing. I just played video games cause I liked playing video games. Then around 99 I saw a news story about this girl gamer guild, so I was "Hey, I didn't know I was a rare breed! Let's learn more about this!" so I went to look at their website and there were all these 18-19 year old girls posing half-nude "I'm a girl but too bad I'm not going to go out with you and I'm going to kick your butt!". I thought it was just as ridiculous then as I do now.

When I got into FF11 I really saw how easy it was for girls to get anything they wanted in the game from the guys. The first couple of years I knew of so many linkshells run by a guy who played paladin whose in game girlfriend was a white mage that he'd always put into the main tank party but she was always a terrible player. It was so bad that I have grown a bias against female white mages in general now. And then they'd break up and it would end badly with lots of drama!

I had the reverse happen to me. One of my exes was a paladin and I was the white mage. She was pretty aweful, but was always in the main tank party. After we broke up, she created a ls with her new bf who got her an aegis. It made her a half decent player.

God fucking damnit that took me 5 minutes to read cause I didn't realize it wasn't broken up into both sides.

That's awful. They trashed the entirety of ED? That was a ton of work. What a waste. They expect contributions to that POS at the same level as ED got? Ugh.
