I'm having a but of trouble with my longer pickups. TLDR, the girl gets nervous and leaves. Im guessing it's something with comfort. I'm really bad at that prob. But I think I'm insanely good at attraction.

Ti my point, they say that attraction isn't a choice, and yet at the same time, you're not supposed to over invest/love bomb. I do something very attractive and romantic, and I get a feeling it works well, but they usually get nervous and leave. But if I just wait for them to reciprocate, how do I know if I'm not moving the set anywhere?

I suppose this is calibration and girl specific, but it's my sticking point in noticing a few times now in my longer sets. Should I just friend zone them then move them to an isolated place? I guess their compliance would mean it's working. Maybe I'm too attractive or acting too romantic? That's what I'll try next I guess. No attraction at all.

Context, this is on a college campus so that's the demographic.

Holy moly I hate this guy. Usually I prefer mages to assassins in mid, but Hwei is absolute aids. He has the perfect kit to counter you. Want to outpush him? Too bad, Aoe Q. Want to farm under tower? Too bad, instant 1500 range Q. Want to engage on him after he uses Q? Nope! Fear!

Dodging him like a happyfeet penguin, but nope, got hit by his enormous E claw, basically undogable for your fat azz. You get ulted, and passive aoe.

I remember watching this when it came out so long ago. I was just a child then. I had no ideas of what the movie was about. Now, as a some 30 year old, having gathered much more life experience and watching this again, this movie is an absolute gem. As the title would suggest, the entire movie in my opinion is based on the premise of fate.

I've seen a few people talk about it being about power, about femininity, love and romance, and while those can be be part of it, the main theme is about fate and one fights against it.

The story revolves around Jen and how she deals with her fate and destiny. At the core of Jen, she wants freedom, the freedom to not just love authentically, but to live. I want to point out two objects and what they represent. The green sword--this blade is her freedom. In the other, her comb, her destiny. However, misfortune would only befall her whenever she possessed the blade. I've read that, from the romantic perspective, she was unable to wield the blade because she was destined by a life womanhood, and while this right, the highest theme is above even this and the reason she was unable to wield it represent the disorder that would be caused from any person who sought freedom from their destiny, which would bring order.

Jade and Yu, the two characters who were faced with the same question as Jen. Jade took the sword, and Yu took the comb. Jades freedom brought only suffering to herself. Women weren't allowed to be taught. Her freedom cost her everything. This isn't just about not being able to learn fighting. It's about a dream that cannot be fulfilled.

Yu on the hand, resigned herself to uphold her previous lover's image. She couldn't love again. She, bound by fate, was unable to live, to love again. The polar opposite to Jade. Her existence is ruled by expectation. What is life without a dream, without hope, to have something worth living for?

In the end, Yu gives it away in a single sentence. No matter what, be true to yourself. There is no judgement, only a story about being human. All three women weren't wrong in how they chose to live. They were only faced with a question and answered it their own way. What would you do against fate?
