Project M Social Thread Gold

[Vashimus]

Oh boy. I get through EV training 5 perfect Pokemon, prepping to go get EXP and finish the night by leveling them all to 50.
Girl I like sends me a message saying that her friend's boyfriend is in town and that he wants to hook up with her sometime, and she's gonna go for it. She knows it bugs me and I can't really understand why she'd decide to tell me something like that, and go to bed.

Now I get to spend the rest of the night feeling crappy and I don't even understand fully why I feel the way that I do. I was making sandwiches before I got the news too, and now I don't even want to eat them.

I need Smash distractions.

Just go out and meet other girls. In the street, the library, supermarket, out to lunch, wherever. You'll see this girl is nothing special soon enough.

She can hook up with whatever guy she wanted and it shouldn't matter to you. She isn't your girlfriend, your wife, not even your lover. It's a "girl you like", which tells me you haven't slept with her, which means she offers you nothing of any real value to your life, aside from her fleeting, passing approval.

Go out and meet girls who're actually into you than waste time worrying over one who, from the sound of it, isn't.

So you like this girl, but she does things like this that she knows presses your buttons? Imagine if you got serious with her. What's to stop her from doing those things like this throughout the relationship? Maybe you have an argument, next thing you know she's suddenly hanging around another friend's bf to suit her needs. That doesn't sound like a very good quality... Red flag raising to me.

It's the womens, man. If she has no interest in getting with you, then you're not leaving that 'zone anytime soon. There are some people worth fighting for - then there are ones like this who just take advantage of your affections. Keep her friendly if you want, but I'd seriously suggest to keep looking around. There are better girls out there

...and yeah, still playing PM on occasion. cBliss is great.

You're 100% right. It shouldn't matter to me, which is why I'm completely baffled over why it has an emotional effect on me at all right now. Logically and rationally, it's not my business and I have absolutely no right to tell her what to do or expect her to do anything. The fact that she told me in a long message and then went to bed is probably what bothered me as much as it did, if I had to guess.

My history with her is more complicated and personal than "The girl I like" but I really don't know how to classify things based upon the manner in which they currently match. It's more an Ex that things are constantly on-off for different reasons, but it's complicated and I'd rather not bother Smashboards more than I have.

I appreciate the comment though. Thanks.

It's a complicated issue, but I should know better and I should in fact be more mature about the subject. We're not always in control over how things affect us though. I'm still a little confused as to why she decided to tell me and then go to bed, she said she didn't want to omit it from me, but I would have honestly preferred that. As I'd mentioned previously, she's an EX, but as they say,"They're exes for a reason."

Dude, trust me, I know how you feel. I've been there. As an older, now wiser man, let me give you this advice.

GET OUT NOW

 

[Pwnz0rz Man]

Dude, trust me, I know how you feel. I've been there. As an older, now wiser man, let me give you this advice.

GET OUT NOW

As I read that, I imaged Arnold Schwarzenegger saying it. "Get out! GO! GET OUT! GET TO DA CHOPPPAAAA!!!"

 

[#HBC | Joker]

I'm serious though, if you need Arnold to set you straight, then listen to him. Cut off ALL communication with this person. They are toxic. They will try to reconnect with you, because you give them emotional validation. Ignore them. If you continue your broken relationship with them, it will result in you both being unhappy.

 

[Vashimus]

Pwnz0rz Man, from now on you are never allowed to see that girl again.

Really, don't worry too much about this. Girls are a dime a dozen. Actually, more like a dime a billion. They are everywhere.

Yeah, I know. I just couldn't help but read it like Arnold. It was true, but it still made me laugh. It's about time to end things, I'm usually smarter when it comes to stuff like this, but I guess this was my period of dumbness.

Not in China. :o

Yeah, I've calmed down pretty well now. Sitting and stewing was a crappy idea and just seeing someone else tell me that it was pointless and a waste of my time made the entire thing that much easier. Thanks everyone.

I've been in two, count 'em, TWO relationships like that. It's taken me TWICE to realize that even though those ******* were evil succubus sent from hell, I was a ****ing idiot to let them string me along. The 2nd one even got money out of me. Trust me, you're better off. Find someone who doesn't push your buttons for a living. Manipulative ******* are the worst.

 

[Giygacoal]

At least you have a smash scene. I have to wait 'til I go to college next year to get involved

I'm a freshman in college, and I've just recently started attending tournaments (with my younger friends still in high school). I know the feels. However, I would have started sooner if there were a PM scene in my county. I'm lucky enough to have people that drive around.

It's just that a lot of girls are uninterested in gaming, and they are treated so differently in these types of environments. And our use of language doesn't help either, I agree we should at least try and bring hype to both genders

There's a decent number of grills familiar with Smash Bros. out there, but it's so weird listening to people outside the tourney-influenced community talk about Smash. Casual players who are at least familiar with the hardcore concepts are fine, but the casual casuals are quite different. I guess the same could be said about hearing any interest of yours being discussed by someone outside your immediate group of friends/community, though. I want to make friends with grills that know DI, the definition of hitbox, all that good stuff.

She's not exactly manipulative, as I said, it's more complicated than I probably was able to convey. What I do need to do is get on with stuff so I don't sit around caring what she's doing. It just takes effort on my part that I hadn't really been willing to put out, but all in all that was the last straw and I'm done with that now.



Now then, back to the fun socialness of the thread. Any fans of MC Chris or Del the Funky Homosapien around the Project M scene?

 

[Alfonzo Bagpipez]

I dunno why, but this conversation reminded me of the greatest song of all time.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

She's not exactly manipulative

she sent you a text message telling you she was gonna bang this other dude, out of the blue, knowing it would bug you. You then spent an extended period of time thinking about her. Yea, she ain't manipulative :/

 

[Pwnz0rz Man]

When you put it that way, yeah that sounds pretty scummy.

 

[Vashimus]

I doubt she did it out of spite. She probably just texted you because she could. It didn't matter to her if she hooked up with this guy or not. She knew already you really liked her, and since you've been on-off with her rather than just ending it for good, you've more or less given her security. She can rest safe knowing you're not going anywhere, no matter what she does. You're her back-up option, simple as that.

This is why again, the best advice is to meet other girls.

Not anymore. I told her how what she did affected me and told her to stay the hell away from me from now on. No response, but I think the message will be quite clear.

 

[Ninka_kiwi]

Sounds like when my Ex decides to text me after a week of breaking up to be like "Hey, so I got a boyfriend you ****ing ***"

At the time I felt completely defeated, but now the chick is a druggy and no longer very attractive or nice, losing all her redeemable values.

Essentially I'm saying that if a chick is telling you this stuff knowing that you are in to her, don't even bother.

Life Lesson: Play more Project M. It won't text you about other dudes.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

It does bang them, but it won't text you about them.

 

[Pwnz0rz Man]

I got a text from Project M, telling me that Fox is stronger than my Mario will ever be.

 

[Vashimus]

That's....not exactly the smoothest way to handle it, but whatever. Water under the bridge.

Next time, just cut all contact with them. Don't even bother texting back. If you happen to meet them in person and they wonder where've you been, either play dumb or tell her you've been busy with your girlfriend, even if you don't have one.

Or you can just tell her straight-up it's time you both moved on. I like making people feel silly though.

I'd agree with this, unless their are crazy like my ex was (like SUPER crazy) Then you shouldn't worry about cutting contact, unless of course they are your "friend" But eh, anyone that has the gaul to the would be no friend of mine.

 

[TreK]

I had that same kind of girlfriend three years back. I cut contact with her, the problem was that we were part of the same group of friends and I was pretty much forced to cut contact with them too.

Last month she showed up out of the blue, got drunk and texted all of them saying she's been using them because she wants people to think she's super social and stuff.
I got my friends back.

It's been like that for a while...

Project M texted me, and I quote: "I'm getting Smashed by 2 guys right now"

The cutting off is complete. After I'd sent her a message calling her out for her ****....I found out that she had the guy over tonight. After that, it all just kind of severed with me specifically saying "Stay away from me,"

I feel kind of ****ty now, but it'll get better.

[Mono.]

absolutely ****ing disgusting

tl;dr: thousands of females get bum baffled over some teenager and his buddies (who is apparently vine famous) making a video about what they like in girls. you'd think they'd be saying some **** like "hurr i like gurls with big **** lol" or something but what they did is just bring up how they prefer girls to have a bit of personality, be hygenic, etc things you'd expect a sensible man to like in a woman but these feminists/tumblrettes/white knights/sjw just can't handle that for some reason

i try my best to not generalize but goddamn does it get extremely difficult especially with proof of established stereotypes by the tens of thousands

 

[Brim]

Having an issue along the relative lines of what Pwnz0rz Man is having.

Not her pressing my buttons, but.. Bleh, this girl can be so damn confusing even though we've been dating for close to a year now.

Meh, don't feel like posting the details at the moment (very tired) but I'm very much so hoping to keep the relationship alive.

This is a little....angry and ranty. Which is itself a stereotype.

I've learned that all you can do in the face of stupidity is ignore it, because you can't win a verbal disagreement with such an irrational person, and ultimately these sorts of tumblr ladies will get EXACTLY the sort of jerk or wimp they deserve.

 

[turtletank]

I sympathize with those in relationship problems atm, but that's all I can do. I can't say I've had much experience in that department but the way things are sounding here, I'm wondering if that's a good thing.

Vashimus seems to be doing alright though, so we got that going for us, which is nice.

 

[Paradoxium]

All the solutions offered in this thread are pretty obvious, most people are just to afraid to acknowledge what they know is the best thing to do. That's how a lot of problems are though, the answer is usually right in front of our noses

anyone want to 1v1 me right now? over netplay?

 

[trash?]

straight people are awful and the fact that y'all obsess over using "females" as a term like you're talking about a specimen of dog and not a breathing human being isn't helping you here

I'm perfectly satisfied w/ my gay ol' time over here, you can all be creepy as **** in a corner somewhere. preferably one far away from here

I hope you have better luck than me. It's stupid, but I'm still kind of in disbelief that she'd do that to me.

While we weren't together, the fact that she'd been recently telling me that she loved me and then dropped that on me, out of nowhere for me still has me kind of reeling. I have no right at all to tell her what to do or to expect things from her. I hope that you can end up with a more satisfying conclusion than I seem to.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Woo, Project Relationship thread. Sounds fun.

As a female I can tell you that we are not all crazy, and if you find one that is, leave immediately. When women are actually crazy and/or young and stupid and/or PMSing we can do many things without a twinge of remorse.

That said, if you find a loving woman- she will have her moments, but please keep her. When you treat her right, keep interest and support in her, and honor her, she will love you for the rest of your life. Know the difference between the crazy one with "good" moments and the loving woman with some down moments, we all have them.

I'm currently in the process of teaching my girlfriend how to play competitive Smash. We also met playing Brawl at a mutual friend's house. Just gotta find the right one.

I actually met my boyfriend at a local Brawl tournament, so yeah.
