To be fair, the original question did not suggest it needed to be easy to explain to men. The only requirement was to be difficult to explain to women. So, technically, this answers the question as written.

I don’t think I was involved in any bickering. I meant to clarify my thoughts from earlier.
- Comment on it's a matter of motivation 1 week ago:
In the image itself, it directly calls it a “profit motive,” not just a general motive. I figured you may have missed that by mistake, wasn’t trying to be rude.

I do believe this was the message that was intended to be conveyed by the post itself

Interesting stuff thanks for adding. I added an edit to address. Appreciate you chiming in
- Comment on Anon dates a 19 y/o 6 months ago:
Totally fair, lots of folks have chimed in about it. Really interesting to see it’s over 100 years old (although more focused on ideal partner, not avoiding being creepy)
- Comment on Anon dates a 19 y/o 6 months ago:
Just for a little context, the minimum age being ((your age / 2)+7) is meant to be “this is the minimum age of someone you can date without it being creepy” (i believe it originated from the TV show how i met your mother)
If you were born in 1994 you are either 30 or 31. Let’s call it 30 for easy math.
30/2 = 15 15+7=22
So anyone who is 22 or older fits the minimum age concept, which is anyone born in approx 2002/2003 or earlier. If you decided to include that, the extra 4-5 years does increase the dating pool quite a bit.
I’m not telling you who to date, just giving a little context to the math since that’s what was brought up in the original comment.

- Comment on Worst spy ever 9 months ago:
It has its ups and downs. I actually enjoyed the Miami vice season and the 2 after, though they’re admittedly weaker. Then there’s 3 … odd seasons. Once that concludes it basically goes back to normal and is worth watching. Not nearly as strong as before but it’s still pretty funny
- Comment on Worst spy ever 9 months ago:
Absolutely cancelled at the the of season 14, talks of a revival are happening but tbd
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 10 months ago:
Yeah but D4 is designed to be an MMO and is open world, where last epoch is linear. It’s hard to try to bake in the exact same mechanics when the games are so different
I’ll reiterate that if you try the skips as designed it’ll be close to what you want. But i agree that it needs improving
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 10 months ago:
I’m not entirely sure what you’re requesting then. The end game monoliths start at level 58, and the lowest level I’ve been able to complete them without dying repeatedly is level 30 or so. The campaign skips start at level 20, and give passive and idol slots. Are you asking for the game to just start your alternates at level 60? I’m not following.
As it stands, you can skip 3/4 of the story if you use the current method. Now that you can skip dungeons and go straight to the dungeon boss, you are easily able to bypass a ton of story, and fairly quickly. I have 6 characters in this season, and i did the campaign skip on each one. You can get past the entire campaign in about 90 minutes with this method now, which doesn’t seem too bad you me. You also get passive points and idol slots for completing the skips. You can actually skip almost straight from the first major part of the ruined era (level 20) all the way to the level 50 era in a matter of minutes. If you’re geared up for this, go for it!
When i said i was contesting it, i was conceding to you that i somewhat agree with the skip function needing improvements. That being said, I do think as they’re adding general game improvements, it is making the idea of having alternate characters much better and easier.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 10 months ago:
There actually is a campaign skip. It’s baked into the campaign but you can skip two thirds of it on a second playthrough.
I’ll contest that i think the skip function needs a little work but it does exist
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 10 months ago:
You may enjoy Last Epoch. It definitely scratches that itch for me, and is a bit more entertaining than TL imo
- Comment on Why do people care so much that their friend or family member’s partner is attractive and not just loving? 10 months ago:
Respectfully going to disagree with you. I’m sure there exist both men and also women who will do this, but by no means is this the norm.

Adam Scott doesn’t appear on the show until the second to last episode of season 2. There’s quite a lot of character development before his appearance, and his character doesn’t have a strong impact until season 3, i would say
We skip season 1 as well, but it’s only like 6 episodes. Season 2 was the first full season, and was substantially better.

You know, that’s the first thing that caught my attention, and it’s actually kind of bothering me. I now want to pronounce it “ootopian” to make it work, but it’s just so wrong.

It’s from God emperor of dune, i think it’s the fourth book in the series by publication, but not chronologically.
I guess this might be a spoiler if they eventually make it a movie, but basically, the son of Paul merges himself with a sand worm and becomes effectively immortal. It’s both interesting and bizarre.

- Comment on Disneyland workers say they live in cars, motels due to low pay 1 year ago:
Some companies give stock as a primary benefit. Some of those companies may provide stock in lieu of pay. That doesn’t mean it’s necessary valuable - they typically give you some amount of stock equal to today’s salary, and you would be hopeful the value increases substantially.
Just the fact that the other person has stock from his time being employed by Disney is no indicator of their wealth.
- Comment on I genuinely feel like I wouldn't live that differently even if I suddenly became ultra-wealthy. Am I kidding myself? 1 year ago:
I feel like the wealthy people you see are the ones who either get excitement from flaunting it or from lying about it (for example, mtv cribs was all fake). There are plenty of stories (yes i know they’re just stories) about multi millionaires who drive the same old truck, wear regular blue jeans, and have a nice quiet (albeit larger than average) home.
It’s not crazy at all. I just think we see the outliers more frequently than not because they want us to see them.

- Comment on THE DENVER NUGGETS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION 1 year ago:
I haven’t watched too many full games this season, including playoffs, but I’m so glad I caught this one. The fadeaway from gobert was absolutely nuts. You could see from the middle of the third quarter that jokic was gassed, and nobody else besides Murray was hitting any shots for Denver.
This was an unbelievably exciting game, though I’m still confused as to why Denver seemed to give up right at the end after getting a steal. Seemed so odd.
And really, Naz had a game changing performance. He stepped up big when Minnesota needed him to. Just… wow. Incredible comeback.
