That phrase is stupid.

It says that if a guy goes completely out of his way to impress and be nice to a potential partner to the point of absurd self-compromise, he is deserving of their affections. Basically saying something along the lines of: "I did all this nice stuff for you, now you have no reasonable choice but to have sex with me or else you are an evil betrayer of my feelings." THIS IS A TERRIBLE MINDSET.

That is not how relationships work. The first problem with that reasoning is the self-entitled guilting the potential partner into doing something really intimate that they probably don't want to do, trying to make them feel like the bad guy for not wanting to give in. This is abusive behaviour, by the way.

Secondly, a healthy relationship doesn't have an unbalanced amount of compromise between partners. If one partner is sacrificing everything for the other partner, who either takes it for granted or sacrifices very little, that difference is going to be a source of friction eventually and cause tension/break-ups. It's just like when a partner moves across country or even into a new country just to live with their partner who hasn't moved far from their home at all; someday the partner who had to give up more will feel like it wasn't worthwhile, if the relationship doesn't stay happy.


So basically what I'm saying is, don't sacrifice everything for love. As romantic as that idea is, it's not realistic and if you do it, don't get offended when it isn't "appreciated" as much as you wanted it to be. Besides, if you have to hide your real personality just to get someone's attention, then you're already a bad match in the first place. Find someone who'll like you for the real you and not a fake-y you. :3

It's a case of "Hit the ask followers button." I'm very sorry, it's terminal.

hot poops!

I'M GOING TO GET YOU, GILLIAN SEED.

Why would you want to anger a cat? You horrible person!

Epic, fail, trope, exotic, escort,

I could go on but it boils down to overuse by Internet users, and arseholes who make sexual euphemisms out of everything. Stop ruining innocent words that have better utility with their proper meaning! You jerks!

I appreciate all gifts I get but since I shouldn't be wishy-washy about it...

Worst gifts I'd have to say would be the ones that are just useless display trinkets, jewellery/make-up (I never wear that stuff), or completely unusable (example: clothing several sizes too small, inappropriate content, etc). Getting a DVD, book, or game about something I've never expressed particular interest in usually falls under the latter there. I've accumulated some weird titles over the years and I feel bad that family members thought I'd like that.

Best gifts have been the things I can actually use. The price doesn't matter to me, the utility is what's important. I like to get the things I need for daily life instead of silly shallow wants. A couple of gifts I particularly liked this year was getting a haircut from my favourite stylist, and gift cards for financial emergencies. <3

Nope, I'm L(a)unch.

(Don't let me sneeze, but you'll soon forget I exist anyway.)

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

Snake butts. All the time.

Videogames, no contest. I lost interest in anime as a hobby a long time ago because there's so little worthwhile seeing these days.

It's pretty rare that I'll just go watch anything that friends are gushing about. Badgering me to watch something is always a fast track to me ignoring your recommendations forever.

A full plate of my (bloody good) chilli con carne that's prepared with a side of fresh rice and salad.

SO GOOD.

Genuine local ingredients.

Espeon! Split-tailed psychic kitty :3

Eh. *MANLY POSE*

"The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"

I had never seen it before and didn't know what exactly I was in for. Completely worth it in the end! Very good film.

Pancakes sound really good right now. I have no use for the other two.
