Markness, not to derail the thread, but this is probably the biggest "pulling power" you might have with ladies(other than liking cats, working at the library, being cool, liking awesome music, and being really a genuinely nice guy.) Women are looking for men who do not like Andrew Tate or his type. This kind of stuff might not be super popular where you are at but when people tell you stuff like "put yourself out there," this is the "yourself" they are talking about. (You are currently, at time of writing, surrounded with more pretty girls at that anime convention than I usually see in a whole year, so have fun at the convention with your friends--I bet you a lot of those girls, being internet-literate, will at least think the whole Tate arrest thing was funny. It went down like the plot of a Mel Brooks comedy anyway.)JustPearlyThings is also a friend of Andrew Tate, IIRC. That doesn’t sit well with me.
I stayed out of this thread because I thought it was going to be a train wreck--no, not just a little derailment but a "cornfield meet" (head-on collision.) But I saw this & figured I would throw that out there. In the eyes of most women, "not liking an international sex trafficker" is enough to put you higher on their list of he-men. Have fun!
