Hmm... I thought 8 arrows would've filled up the octet. Maybe I missed something in my education.

no, the low quality arrow attraction field just has a maximum capacy of 9. i just sticked with arrow 9 instead of getting the costly upgrade to the next level.
I think 'that guy' is phenomenally successful due to the weird and wildly superficial dating world tech has created.
I'm quite fortunate as I met my wife before the apps had taken over. Other than being reasonably tall and having a pulse, I am far from being that handsome dude.
But I did ok as I was brought up around women and have always used humour as a crutch since I was a kid, which I found women were responsive to when I grew up.
I doubt I'd have survive the online dating world with my beer belly and average face.
Gigachads like Elon Musk attract all the ladies. They all want to kill him with arrows.....
LOL, dating isn't hard for guys. You think guys have it rough, you should hear it from the girl's point of view. Jesus fucking Christ. These women must be horny as hell to even keep trying with some y'all. I should start a "dating tips for guys" comm.
For background; I'm 5'8", 140lbs. soaking wet, been broke most of my life (am now), no real prospects, no fancy cars, nothing. I take care of my health and hygiene, mostly, dress well (nice clothes are stupid cheap, nearly free and comfortable) and have a decent attitude towards the opposite sex. I drink loads of light beer every day, but I'm not dancing on tables or angry drunk, ever.
Look in the mirror and ask yourself why a woman might want you. You know you got flaws. What can you fix? Start fixing those things. Baby steps. Can you polish up your teeth? Lose some fat or gain some tone? Better haircut? Dress nicer? Got any interesting hobbies? And your interests don't have to be attractive. Having a passion is interesting in itself.
What can you do? You know damned well you can do better. I've met very few humans I considered "maxed out" on attractiveness stats. (OK, strippers are kinda cheating, they know what they're doing.)
And keep in mind, no one out there is judging you harder than yourself. Posted this a while back. Read it for yourself. Point being, I inadvertently saw myself from the outside, and I was surprised.
I'll give you a pro-tip; A great first date question is, "Tell me about a fucked up first date." Listen, learn, don't be that guy. Some of these women had me laughing out loud. SERIOUSLY?! And have a good story of your own! You know you got one.
OK, one more; Join these dating sites as a woman looking for a man. Read the men's sad-sack profiles, look at their pictures, and don't be that guy. Dead animals and fancy motor vehicles ain't gonna turn anyone on. And FFS, stop with the, "I'm a really nice guy and just want to find true love." No. Yeah, they want love too, but they're not interested in being your mother.
Tried that on PoF before I met my second wife. Jesus y'all, I felt awful for my gender. I really mean that. I was actually sad, really felt for those guys. But I didn't want to fuck them. Can't imagine how turned off the women must be, but they got stories.

Uhh, the problem with dating men are the things you can't see. Pretty much majority of men are capable of violence, have tendencies towards cheating, toxicity (or just mansculinity), men who make first good impression due to naturally hitting it off and humor, but later you realize he sees women as sex toys, ectera ectera.
Insert nice guy meme here
If you keep getting into relationships with crappy people, that it might not be because everyone is crappy, but because that's what you subconsciously look for.
- One bad relationship: Bad luck.
- Only bad relationships (especially if you keep getting into the same crappy relationship with different people): The problem is with you, you are subconsciously looking for people like that.

Just because we're capable of violence (i.e stronger) doesn't mean we are violent. I've had exes attack me at random, never did I do anything to defend myself except maybe try to hold them still. Now if another man attacked me, I wouldn't hesitate. But never have I as an adult attacked another person. It's a fucked up thing to do, it's so easy to accidentally disable another person for life.
Likewise, I've never cheated, but I've been cheated on plenty. So maybe it's not a men vs women thing but rather a shitty people thing?
Plus if we're talking about men seeing women as sex toys, let's talk women seeing men as walking wallets or maybe let's just stop stereotyping people based on gender because otherwise we'll just sow more hate between the genders.
When I said being capable of violence in the context of dating women, obviously I meant being capable of violence against women.

I'm just continuing the discussion. I'm sorry if speaking about men's red flags/dealbreakers makes you uncomfortable, but I constantly hear about women's red flags/dealbreakers, but it isn't usually followed by "maybe we should not talk bad about other genders"
Being capable of violence and men being masculine are really hardcore deal breakers /s
I don't need a gymbro who chases blonde girl next door, I need a responsible man. I don't need someone who is incapable of managing their emotions and defaults to violence. You saying these are not bad things just proves my point that majority of men are flawed and they themselves think of themselves as husband material, when in reality you're something useful only at a bar when I feel lonely. You're probably the type of person that learns women tips from Andrew Tate
Insults a form of violence. Emotional violence that is. If I wanted to, I could rather easily insult you. Therefore I am capable of violence. However I did not default to it, because the situation does not call for it.
You could have replied in whatever way possible to my comment. I did not insult you at all. You however defaulted to insulting me. So unlike me you are not just capable of violence, you default to it.
That is the difference between being capable of and defaulting to. Hope you get it.
But I was talking about physical violence, not online arguing with a touch of random toxicity. Do you really feel violated? Do you think it's comparable? I've always been verbally brutal, I never claimed I'm perfect myself.
When you're tank drawing aggro and your healer still got chased by mob
Best description. I wish they taught me like that at school
the guy:
Boromir would have attracted every arrow
He could steal my purity ring any day
I used to be like that guy till I took an arrow to the knee.
Bet your chest was happy
Incel logic be like
But don't stay TOO far away, otherwise you can still be a victim of arrows. There is in ideal distance to THAT GUY to minimize your arrow related risks.
Don't hate him, he just knows how to draw aggro.
I knew I shouldn't have let him cast sunder twice!
Literally Kaladin Stormblessed
You mean tall, right?
Of course not, arrows are too scared to go after Taln
I didn't even see your username, you're all in. Love it.
I'm 5'8" and I've knocked it out the park with women. Weirdly, maybe did better when I was young and totally broke.
I definitely did better in my late teens and early 20s when I was broke compared to my late 20s with money, where I only landed a gold digger. Will see how it goes in my 30s as broke again, think I'll have to start off losing some weight though. In freedom units, stress has put me at about 300 lbs of eastern European bear at 5'10". Back when that number was 220, I used to do single handed push ups and could do about 20-30 pull ups easily, which I think should roughly give an idea of my body type back then: never fit or thin, but rather, visibly strong. "Built like a brick shithouse" is a term that has actually been used to describe me.
shouldn't the bottom label be next to the woman? she is the one outside the attraction field, the guy might as well be within it
There is no arrow from the bottom guy to the upper guy, so...
The bottom guy is typically the one receiving the arrow.
Needs to be injective and surjective
