Confidence and showing passion about stuff will get you a long ways
- Best I can do is crippling anxiety and apathy for everything in life. Take it or leave it.
  
  Nice rizz, yo
  
  Dr DontKnowKnothing advises to double down with deadpan humor. If nothing else, at least you'll see more smiles
  
  You can market yourself as the brooding and mysterious type
- Truth, I once got a girl's number because I was bitching about how much I hate pennies.
- Totally. It's cool seeing what people are enthusiastic about

Wow two people who smoke weed like anime? That's crazy bro
- "Bro" is orb backwards. I love pondering orbs that can build up holy concepts.
  
  "ponder" is rednop backwards.
  I love my rednop bros.

I was taking a break on a hike a few weeks ago and a group of 3 girls and a guy passed me and the guy was narrating John Wick 4 scene by scene
- Are you sure it was a hike, and not the girls just walking further and further to politely escape him?
  
  No, he was their trainer and they were doing their best to keep up so they wouldn't miss any fight scenes.
- Wait, does John Wick 4 have a plot that would take more than 5min to narrate? I watched the first one and it was just like watching a twitch stream of a first person shooter. I assumed the others were similar.
  
  John Wick 4 has three protagonists, a fight between two teams of actual Japanese ninjas, a vehicular melee around the Arc de Triomphe set to Gesaffelstein, and a pistols at dawn duel.

  “People get shot, and shot again if they hurt a dog”
  🥱 (except more like 🤢 so killy, whyyy)

Basically me getting lucky that my SO is as orange pilled on pedestrian infrastructure as I am.
- NotJustBikes and chill
  
  Climatetown rizz frfr
  
  Gettin' yo partner goin' by talking about survivability of impacts from tank trucks vs low and even mid riding vehicles.
  
  Oh, I want that kind of relationship
- If any of my younger friends ask, please tell them I totally understand what those words mean.
  
  Translation:
  I am very lucky that my partner has similar ideas and interests about urban transport infrastructure and policy as I do.
- Is that a Dutch thing?
  
  More of a appreciation for a dutch thing tbh
  If I can save for it I wanna take them on a bike tour around Amsterdam some day, basically a whole vacation of cruising the bike lanes like we found an IRL mariokart track

At a dispensary? That probably helped his odds. Still impressive, though!

He must have incredible genetic abilities.

Kicking her feet?
- As in, swinging her legs back and forth over the ground, like pendulums, I believe.
  
  Ooof, why call that kicking?
- It's when you're sitting down and swinging your legs backwards and forwards
- Not sure if it's culturally-specific but I think it's basically intended as a (likely involuntary) body language display showing interest and excitement. She is so engrossed in the explanation of Naruto (or the individual giving the explanation) that she is not paying attention to what her feet are doing. And what they are doing is acting as an outlet for her excitement.
- I couldn't picture this without seeing her as either very very short or very very young. Don't grown ups feet reach the floor?

White boys got real problems recognising it's not their love of anime that repels love interests...

He has clearly mastered talk no jutsu

You're in a dispensary so I'm not going to assume that normal standard necessarily apply.

These are the tactics I use on forums. I explain things and try to make people like me at the same time. XD

Pro move: only explain right up to when Shippuden starts so they can watch it together

Another reason I wish we had dispencaries in my country

Very similar to my view of the original Trinity.
