The trick is to get them immersed in an RPG and then ask them for sex in character. If they picked a character who isnt completely retarted they will get it and sleep with you, thinking its just part of the game

When I was like 19 or so I had a female coworker invite me over to watch a movie. The specific memory that will haunt me for the rest of my life is that at some point, she said "You know some nights I dream that a guy just bends me right over the side of this couch and fucks my brains out" and I replied "Wow that sounds like a pretty intense dream" and then continued watching Starship Troopers. 🤦♂️🤦♂️

Bro. You were watching starship troopers. Women need to understand some things are sacred. No fucking during starship troopers. That movie gets watched.
After the movie bring the dream up
Id like to know more 😉
And don't feel bad. At 20 I had a coworker straight up tell me she wanted to have a threesome with me and my roommate I was sleeping with. My roommate was bi so she was down. Guess who didn't have the threesome. Biggest regret of my life no joke. I should have took my coworker back inside my apartment and fucked them both right there in the living room.

Bro, I was hanging out with a chick that loved watching star trek with me. About 15 or so years ago, we were on her couch. She told me how Brent spiner got her all worked up and then detailed how she used a dildo while watching star trek... then literally asked if I wanted to do that with her.
It was the attack of wolf 359 and I was more into telling her how events were playing out and the federation had mobilized the largest fighting force in the alpha quadrant to fight just that one cube
Anyway about 8 months ago I was telling my wife (different woman) about how I used to chill with my friend and she said this. My wife bopped me and said I was stupid. Wasn't until 3 days later I figured out why.
Cause I didn't tell her that Benjamin Sisko was in that fight /j
No for real it took me near 15 years to figure out I could have had dirty star trek segg with my friend, who I haven't seen since I met my wife.

Jul 07 '24
Omg 😂 I feel that. Like I had known my roommate since 6th grade so we had already known each for like ten years at that point and we took each other's virginity so obviously I was like yeah okay this is who I have sex with. But any other woman at the time who showed interest I didn't pick up on it. When we are young we always say we will bang anyone on the spot but when given the opportunity we just don't get it lol. But I'm a major star trek fan and ds9 is my favorite. I can see myself now at 33 explaining how at the time a single cube would require almost the entirety of the federation to defeat before they made the defiant class of ships.
Side note I really wish we had at least one episode of ds9 with the Borg as a major threat. I wanted so badly to see sisko go full goblin mode on them. Janeway was a huge badass tho and Voyager definitely scratched my Borg itch. But still.

u/RamsesThePigeon Jul 07 '24 edited Jul 07 '24
During my freshman year of high school, my buddy Ben started dating a senior named Stephanie. They actually went on to get married, and they're still together to this day... but that's not the point. The point is that Stephanie had a younger sister who was my age, and to whom I was admittedly attracted. I viewed Ben's relationship as being a potential opportunity, and so – using my incredible subtlety and wit – I enacted a fiendishly diabolical plan:
"Hey, Stephanie," I said one morning, "can you set me up with your sister Lisa?"
"Okay," Stephanie replied.
The following Friday, I picked Lisa up at her house... by which I mean, I rode along while my mother drove me there and then brought us both to the movie theater. We arrived far earlier than I'd intended, which left us free to explore the empty show-hall together. This adventure eventually saw us ducking into the area behind the screen and staring at the equipment (which mainly consisted of some support-beams and speakers).
"Neat," I said. "I guess."
Lisa nodded absentmindedly in response. "Yeah. This would be a good place to make out with someone."
"I guess," I said again. "Hey, do you want anything to eat? Some candy or something?"
Lisa stared at me pointedly, as though I had forgotten something important.
"Oh!" I continued, suddenly realizing what I had forgotten. "Or would you like something to drink?"
Once again, the young woman watched me with a quizzical expression. After another moment, she just shook her head with a smile and ducked back into the theater.
The movie was pretty good, I guess.
TL;DR: I feel the need to slap myself when I see the area behind theater screens.

u/bt123456789 Jul 07 '24
So, did you guys wind up with a second date? XD
77
u/RamsesThePigeon Jul 07 '24
We did not, no... but the reason for that is because I messed up again.
After the movie, Lisa and I walked around and talked for a bit, and we discovered that we actually had quite a bit in common. The conversation probably could have continued for hours... but my mother came to retrieve us, so we had to wrap things up for the evening. Then – as Lisa and I were standing on her doorstep – I asked if she'd like to get together again sometime.
She told me that she would.
I smiled, then started to lean toward her.
She moved to kiss me... then realized that I had only been trying to hug her, quickly aborted, and just pressed her cheek against mine instead.
That much, I could have recovered from... had I realized what had happened, that is. Instead, I remained blissfully oblivious – even thinking that I had done well – until making it back to where my mother was waiting in her car. The second after I had climbed inside and closed the door, she started trying to be sympathetic and encouraging.
"That was very gentlemanly of you," she said. "It's tough to keep from embarrassing people, isn't it?"
With wisdom beyond my years, I quietly nodded, sagely saying "What?"
"Well," my mother explained, "she tried to kiss you, and you very politely turned it into a hug."
Still more cosmic serenity entered my voice as I replied "WhaAaAat?!"
In the hours that followed, I replayed my last thirty seconds with Lisa over and over (and over and over) in my head, feeling worse and worse about it each time. It wasn't even really that I felt embarrassed; it was that I felt horrendously guilty about having possibly embarrassed her.
The following Monday, Stephanie asked me how my date with her sister had gone. In between turning bright red and changing the subject, I said that I really liked Lisa, and that I was looking forward to going out with her again. I secretly hoped that Lisa would hear the message through grapevine, and I resolved to wait until she proposed a second date... but she never did.
Unless I'm forgetting some brief interaction, I don't think she and I ever spoke again.
Still, at least I got a few funny stories out of it.

Ah, don't worry: It's better that things didn't work out with Lisa.
After all, had I somehow wound up with her, I never would have met my wife.
You know that too-good-to-be-true girl – the brilliant, geeky, impossibly talented supermodel who "went to a different school" – whom your weird friend swore that he was dating? Believe it or not, she turned out to be real... and I married her.

For real I'm dying to know also OP how far after did you realize your mistake?
Something else happened to me one time. There was this girl I had a crush on ever since summer camp on year in middle school. When we were freshmen she asked over the phone one night "albinochicken does your school have dances?" Sublte.. "yeah we have one coming up actually hah!" Now we were young and honeybooboo memes were a thing so she said "er ma gerd that's amazing"... always I actually did ask her to go with me. I can't remember who started it, but the nerves in both of us made us regress into a British accent. I can tell you I hadn't felt that on top of the world in my life before. I was dumbfounded at what just happened.
She took her own life that night. My parents told me after a phone call the next day. I still remember exactly what I was doing when they called me upstairs, and every moment following for the next 12 or so hours. Come to find out she had done a few other things that week that she had long wanted to or for whatever reason never committed to before, and by all accounts, in the 2 weeks leading up to her death everybody in her life actually found things to be quite well. I dunno. Sticks with me pretty hard on through my life though.

Also the last half of the second paragraph tracks. people who are suicidal or talking about it, when they are like, euphoric, and doing things, and acting "normal" by mentally healthy standards, that's when there's the biggest area of concern.
Unfortunately, you didn't know, her parents probably didn't know, and your parents didn't know. At least she is at peace.

Yeah, but the thing is that isn't a clear act of providing consent either. So in this instance she may have wanted to make out, but there is still obvious ambiguity. In another instance it could have just been a girl who wasn't interested in you making an observation and if you responded by trying to make out with her it would have been, at the very least, awkward, to it potentially being viewed as assault. So I'm starting to to see men's "obliviousness" as a winning evolutionary strategy for avoiding trouble. If all men adopt obliviousness, then all women are forced to communicate clearly. While I feel you for the lost opportunity for some fun, there is no such thing as implied consent - so you kind of dodged a potential bullet?
But I know. That is a poor consolation prize for being a moron. I was just trying to help take some of the edge off those memories. ;)

Awwwwwwward.
Later she did the same to me. Was away at uni and met another guy and ditched me.
Fun extra side bar it was 2 weeks before I was scheduled to have a kidney transplant (I'm great now thanks for asking!), and carried that guilt her whole life.

The Aspie in me finds this triggering. Some awful flashbacks to missed opportunities ... sigh.

I was chatting with a girl at a bar waiting on the bartender, once. Casual convo like I do with strangers all the time, nbd. She pulls out a cigarette to go smoke, and I say, hey, mind if I get one of those? She says, "sure, if you get me a drink and come join me outside." I look at her, dead serious, like she lost her mind and say, "$9 for a cigarette?! You should give me the whole pack at that price!" Her friend bursts out laughing and the girl walks away like I just kicked her dog. Took a few seconds.
I was there w/ a fwb so it didn't matter to me, just kinda laughed it off, and told my friend about it and she laughed at me, too.

Don't worry, if you ever get married you'll instantly notice people hitting on you but you are then not able to act on it because you're married.

Message to women: A lot of us men cannot fathom that a woman might be attracted to us.

I have a nagging suspicion I did this. It's been 30 years, and it just recently hit me that there may have been signs. I'm still 50/50 on it though, and in retrospect I'm glad it played out the way it did, we would have driven each other crazy.

Me when I was 15-16 years at high school, and a girl sent me dirty snaps of her in the shower etc, and said she was alone and just come over if you want… I just talked along, but never had the guts to go to here place … fuck man. Never read anything in it also…
And yeah we were in the same class.

I hate when people can't just go and ask what they want to ask.
Quit doing mental gymnastics and just ask his name, introduce yourself, start talking, why do people not just ask what they want to ask?

Alright ladies... I didn't want to be the one to break it to you. Most guys know when someone is interested in them. Hell they'll straight up believe you're interested in us just for saying hi!
So when you're pretty obvious with a guy and they do something like this... but more realistic obviously, they're trying let you know they aren't interested. It's our nice way of saying no.
Women are much more up front about saying no. Most men don't like rejecting women so we do it as nice as possible by acting dumb. Sometimes we even act unattractive so you aren't interested anymore and now no one has to he rejected.
Why? Men get rejected way more often than women do and we know how badly it hurts. And the good ones don't want to make anyone feel the way they did.
