I have to make a choice, so regardless of whether you are male are female, please tell me who you'd rather be in a romantic relationship/flirtationship with.

Logan Marshall-Green (with a beard) - Diet Tom Hardy
Jason Momoa - Your Hawaiian Protector
Boyd Holbrook - Your Mysterious Southern Neighbour

OR

Nathan Parsons - Pretty Boy

*This is all for a story of course*

 

Which one is the shortest and has most stamina in thrusts?

Oh, be slightly more nice. Anyway, I don't know who any of those people are nor would I be attracted to any of them. Nonetheless, in a dating simulator a point of the game would just be to get to know who these people are. Maybe you could have all four and let the reader decide.

I plan to choose two men and let the reader decide between them and a female, but writing five romance options is a lot of work for a story that isn't remotely a dating sim.

I'd suggest doing the two that you'd like to write about the most. If you like what you're writing more, then the readers would be more likely to like it as well.

I mean if the main difference is looks (and that's what you've based entire question on here) it'd be easy enough to swap out details in the same scenes.

But I don't want the same scenes. Just like in real life, you meet and interact with people differently and in different surroundings. So if I am going for realism, which I am, I cannot just swap details. Each person adds something different to the plot if they are a love interest.

They are not pieces of meat. Choose based on what's on the inside...

 

 

 

Really, I just want to know who people think is attractive or not.

Your post contains a contradiction.

Dang, I was a handful of seconds away from being the first one to respond.

I was teasing.

You want people to choose, based on their appearance, which is meat.

Their pieces of meat, and you want us to choose which one we'd like. With the lacking information you provided, there's no wonder someone like Digit responded the way he did.

*They're

What in the world? How could make such a petty mistake?

This one bugs me the most out of all the grammar errors out there due to its frequency and simplicity. Maybe I should start drinking coffee... :(

*How could I make

Holy moly, this is frustrating. With the addition of having to now scan through entire posts before submission, this is definitely going to slice my posting rate in half. :(

This post is fine. You ruined my streak, Zag. :(

Huzzah! An new age of Zagian pre-post inspection has arisen!

Strange, I'm certain you must have meant 'A new age...'

Good grief, Mizal. I ought to just employ you as my personal proofreader.

Chill. I was kidding of course.

Oof, my apologies. I haven't interacted with you very much aside from glaring at your profile for hours on end. 

OK...But why tho?

Because I was trying to glean as much of your essence as possible so mistakes like these don't happen!

My profile praises our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Bale Christ. I think that sums up all you need to know.

I'll definitely keep that in mind.

I'm thinking either Logan Marshall-Green, or Jason Momoa. All for the story, of course.

Those were my main two choices as well.

Haha, I think we may have similar tastes. :p

@Endmaster, do you have a preference? This is the moment Malk has been waiting for.

Oh and I don't know who any of these people are but the one who looks like Tom Hardy I guess. You should've included pictures.

Had to make sure it wasn't an alt of Malk's given the Tom Hardy reference since I know he's pretty gay for him. (And in general)

I vaguely remember this account. She rarely posts, and I'm pretty sure it's usually a writing question.

Yeah I remember her too. She said something about making a Sons of Anarchy fanfic story the last time she was around.

This thread has changed my perception. I am learning.

...

If they were girls instead, then probably the southern neighbor. 

Side note: What’s the equivalent of a “pretty boy” for girls?

A tomboy, maybe? I like tomboys. :/

E: Ah, here's what Wikipedia says, though the article is mainly on effeminacy, "Contrastingly, a masculine girl would be called a 'tomboy', 'butch', or 'dyke',"

Good approach. No one can ever accuse you of not being dedicated to remaining normal.

...if one of the guys gives you a rose I hope there's an option to burn it.

Or y'know, maybe keep it? As friends?

Jason because Hawaiians are hot.

Personally I don't like guys, though gauging the site's taste in dudes is fairly useless since you have a fairly broad spread and it comes down to personal taste anyway. However, since I've been trying to get into dudes that don't even have vaginas lately just to see if I can, let's see what's up here.

Personally Mr. Marshal-Green is a failure in all aspects. Not only does he have a beard, which is one of the manliest and therefore least attractive things to have, but he's also a vastly inferior version of Tom Hardy, you said it yourself. So obviously we couldn't bond over Bane or Charles Bronson impersonations because he's vry shit at it, as opposed to just being an okay Tom Hardy like everyone else.

Jason Momoa is just impractical, no matter what he looks like. Why the hell would I need protection from Hawaiians? I've never been to Hawaii, I'm considered a generally nice person... In real life, anyway... I really don't know why the Hawaiians would be after me. Is it because I made fun of their official state plaid? Also, I hope he's protecting me with words and not actions. As awesome as it would be to have a personal Jason Statham, I'm frankly concerned that physical violence is just going to give the people of this fine 50th state another reason to be upset with me.

Mysterious southern neighbor was out from the very beginning. I've had mysterious southern neighbors before, and they aren't attractive, presumably even from the standpoint of dudely attractiveness. Though, he did invite a lot of thought and wonderment due to how mysterious he was. I used to think for minutes at a time about my unanswered questions. Where did all his teeth go? Why did his wife look exactly like him? These are things I never learned before he disappeared mysteriously from my life.

Nathan Parsons is allegedly pretty, so he's probably the closest there is on this list to beinf someone I'd fuck, even if he is just a sub-standard girl at this point. So my vote goes to that guy.

Of course, I know this could just be in a romantic/flirtatious relationship with any of them, in which case attraction wouldn't really matter (I'm sure neither of the mysterious southern twins found each other attractive) but when hitting on someone it is common courtesy to have actual attraction to back it up.

I request that you add the man, the myth, the legend Tommy Wiseau to the list.

But to be less shitposty I'd go gay for Jason Momoa.

Man, fuck that celebrity lady boner fan fiction bullshit.  Just write a story with made up people and describe their looks and personalities, integrate them with whatever the story is that you're writing, it'll make them seem more interesting.

Besides, everyone knows Jason Momoa could snap those guys in half with his pinky finger xD. 

I don't like dudes at all, but if I had to pick I'd go back in time a day and fuck myself. 

No.

 

 

No?

Ooops. I tried to add a gif to go along with that "No", but it didn't work.

Anyway, my poll wasn't about who was stronger though. Thanks for the meaningless input, but I'll keep writing the "celebrity lady boner fan fiction" thanks. I'll do what I want in ma story. K.

i understand it's not about who is stronger, that was just a thought I had, the real meaningful message is in the first paragraph.

This isn't tumblr lady, not everyone is gonna want to read a story about dreamy celebrities, or celebrity porn or whatever the fuck it is. I understand the whole story you thought of is important to you, but there's a lot of standards writers on this site are held to, and if you don't do that you're gonna get ripped apart by everybody.

Fan-fiction type stories don't generally do well, unless you're like Steve and a couple others who can pull it off using multiple aspects that make stories great.  So just letting you know now, make sure it's damn good and not just drooling over hot celebrities.

Firstly, don't read my profile or username and assume you know the kind of work I will be writing on here. You will be wrong. Also, I know about site standards and all that so just stfu. You don't know me or what I plan to write.

Secondly, it was NEVER fanfiction or celebrity porn. I was just using certain people's likeness in my story. I don't even find all of those men attractive. They are just faces I chose.

P.S I don't give a damn if anyone here doesn't want to read it. I have my own audience that would love to read my shit and I'll send them here. This was honestly just a lighthearted thread, and your assumptions turned it wack.

 

You're not going to last here, lol.

Based off what, sir? All I did was explain myself.

I've been here since '15. If you basement dwellers didn't scare me off then, you can't do it now. I don't use this site for the forums anyhow.

How can you call yourself a tumblrite when you just misgendered a fellow woman?!

I'm not that kind of "tumblrite". I dabble.

ikr? Assuming gender in 2018, wow, just wow. I'm so offended I'm actually shaking and I don't think I can even bring myself to continue participating in this thread again until I get another settler out and grab this region with the luxury dye resource I'm looking at, back in ten minutes ok.

Grief counselors are on their way to you as I type...

Maybe you should scamper back to tumblr instead of calling the faggots here basement dwellers. Most of the people here are highly functioning members in their respective communities, just look at End, many women flock to his doorsteps with ideas of grandeur of being one of his concubines, but he is a loyal hardworking spiritual man seeking enlightenment from the petty vices that have befallen many. 

Haha, I'm sure.

Oops. Did I say basement dwellers? I mean neck beards.

So do you consider End to be a basement dweller, or a neckbeard? Or both?

Still waiting on an answer.

The thing seems to have logged off, good job at pissing on her until she gave up :)

I think you can take credit for pissing her off, I didn't really get a reaction better than that one. We can't quite consider this a completion of your Villain training since it wasn't intentional, but the most delicious internet tears are those wrung out when you're not even expecting them or trying so I hope this thread was rewarding enough in its own right.

Let's all sit back and enjoy a nice cup of her tears and frustration.

And yes, the Villain training continues.

I never give up, I just go to sleep.

Bah, you’re probably not better yourself. You’re likely a neckbeard ourself.

She's a young woman, so a neckbeard would be an impressive feat.

IS that a picture of her? 

It's a crop of a Liv Tyler photo.

Speaking of basement dwellers, EndMaster wrote a whole scientific based, national geographic article and story on your type, celebdreams .  You should check it out.

celeb dreams how do you like "them APPLES"

Pretending you're looking for a legitimate answer rather than just flailing around having this hilarious little drama queen meltdown over nothing....I base my observation over the fact that you're flailing around having this hilarious little drama queen meltdown over nothing.

You were given legitimate advice and immediately blew up over it, which makes it obvious your response to legitimate criticism is only going to scale up from there. Too much exposure to tumblr has made you fragile and unable to cope with the reality of participating in a real writing community, I fear. There's no such thing as just 'dabbling' there.

Oh shaddap.

He gave me his input. I gave mine right back and corrected him on assumptions he made about me. You have yet to see a drama queen meltdown.

You know Mizal is only going easy on you right now, right?  

That's nice.

RIP celebritydreams

"She never took criticism too well."

I'll be back tomorrow. Resurrected. Just call me Jon Snow.

After the Breezy meltdown a few years ago, all the other drama queens are playing for second place.

My favorite thread Breezy started was when she thought her dog was going to die. Good times.

Hmm, let's see, Corgi gave you advice on how to make your story better received here, you immediately told him to shut the fuck up, said you didn't give a damn how the community aka the people who will be reviewing your story felt, and then started randomly calling people names.

You might not be in full meltdown mode yet but time will tell whether you continue down this path or whether everyone reading this thread ran and microwaved popcorn in vain.

My popcorn burned.

You feel a great sense of loss.

I think I smell it more than I feel it.

Not immediately. I waited till the 2nd response.

And duh, because I don't write for the community here. I write for myself, then my followers on tumblr.

I'm glad to provide some entertainment for you all. You clearly need it.

Most of us are indeed quite easily amused.

This was very amusing.

If I had to choose between being in the bahamas snorting cocaine with a bunch of hookers while in a tub full of cash, and annoying celeb dreams.....I'd pick annoying celebdreams.

You bastards win, but only because I'm new. Now I see how you all roll.

I think, if you stop and think really, REALLY hard, the incredible realization will come upon you that by publishing stories on this site, you are writing for the people who read stories on this site. Most notably for the people who post on this forum.

In fact I do believe the only way to prove your independence is to publish your story and then make a thread with a link to it while calling us all basement dwelling neckbeards whose opinions don't matter and daring us to fight your Tumblr army. Please make sure to remember to do this.

Um no.

You all can read it if you like. In fact I'm sure there is a good chance you all will, but it won't matter to me what your opinions on it are. I only care if the people I wrote it for like it. Nothing to do with armies. This isn't a war. You sound offended. I'm not trying to be rude, but I write for myself and followers. So if you all like it cool. If you don't cool too. I won't lose sleep. I'll take it elsewhere.

I really only chose this site because I liked the formatting and thought it was simple enough to use.

You sound like you literally don't understand how the rating system works, which is the thing I've been getting at for several posts now and what Corgi started out with while you remained oblivious, but okay, cheers, have fun.

What part of "I'll take it elsewhere" don't you understand? I'm well aware of the system and yours. Good night.

tbf you do seem to understand the basics of grammar so the story will likely squeak by with a 3 point something at the very least even if it's the kind of cringey celebrity fanfic I'm hoping it will be.

Either way, we'll always still have this wonderful thread, even if I don't quite get your attitude of defensive hostility or what brought you to the point of shouting I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ALL THINK ;-; over and over. Corgi gave you decent advice while under the impression you were going to take it like a normal person and then you went and made things weird.

Or 'wack' I guess, as the kids apparently say.

But as always, that's how the magic happens so I doubt anyone's complaining.

Corgi perhaps gave me decent advice originally, but then made assumptions about what my story and content would be. Even though I never mentioned any of that in the OP and I let him know he was wrong. Suddenly, I'm an overly sensitive, blubbering ball of woman tears blowing smoke through her ears, who won't last here. OK... Well I am human, and yes I did get offended that someone assumed I would produce shitty content based on a profile and username I made in jest. Yes, I felt the need to defend myself. My "defensive" responses reflect that, but I would never post any celebrity fan fiction on here because they are usually dumb and overly elaborate work based on real people is weird. I usually only write fiction. It seems only you lot can write strongly worded responses, but for anyone else, they are seen as shouting and overreacting.

Good day to you all.

 

 

Well, like I said before, write a story with good character arcs/development, plot, and immersive story, and if it's well received ,I'll take back the negative shit I said.  Another pointer, if you don't want to get harped on for being offended then don't ever show it.  

Also, I believe the correct phrase is "Good day sir!.....I said good day!"

Aww, look at her trying to deflect her offended triggeredness onto everybody else.

Masterfully played by big money corgi into a seething fit. 

BMC AKA "B.I.G. Money" Corgi

He is notorious while loved by few and also many. A conundrum of a CYS member that cannot be understood by simple equations. Or so they say. 

" I don't even find all of those men attractive. They are just faces I chose."

OH REALLY?

Them what might I ask, is this?

 

 

You said that at least two of these men that you handpicked, you wouldn't mind being in a relationship with them. The blushing emojii says it all, people.

And here's our Hero, Zag, calling out the bullshit lol

Just doing my job, friend. :^)

I said I don't find ALL of them attractive.

I only find those 2 attractive. DUH. Do you lack comprehension? The rest were just men I added to the list.

Chill. I was kidding of course.

You all are too funny. Lol.

Haha, thanks. :)

Well, shit, looks like I did read your profile.  It seemed to me you were going for the celeb-fanfucktion shit, or at least close enough.  

Also, it sounds like you kinda give a damn if people read it, otherwise why would you post it here?  Another thing, bringing in traffic to the site is great and all, but not if it's the cancerous tumblr types that get TRIGGERED!!!!! 

But you know what, I'll tell you what.  If you can write a decent story, good plot, character arcs/development, immersive story and all that.  I'll take back all the negative shit I've said, how's that?

But until that happens I'm not backing down from my prior points  

Funny you thought that, even after having read and commented on one of my (unpublished) stories already.

Here is what you said: It's cool, you should just finish the story all in one thing instead of making separate parts, unless you have some serious length before making multiple parts. I'd finish it if there was more.

If you thought it was celeb-fanfucktion shit, you obvi didn't mention THAT in your comment. Anyway... I just wanted opinions from live people and was using this site, so thought why not? I could have used yahoo answers if I chose.

Also, I only bring classy, creative ladies to this site, not snowflakes. Please.

Which story was that?  I probably repressed the memory of reading the cancer.

Oof, that hurt just reading it.

Lol, let you said it was COOL. Try again, bub.

Republish the story so I can read it again, because I honestly have no memory of it.  Which usually happens, especially as I said something about it being a story with multiple parts, if I read the quote correctly.  Because those, like celeb-porn, don't do good on this site.

2015 publish date explains a lot. That was still in the bad old days when feral cats freely roamed our streets. People were easily impressed.

Actually I think the cat scourge started dying off during 2014, which is when I joined.

Probably still were wiping out the remnants of them in 2015.

Oh, we were.

I couldn't remember exactly but the actual New Site Guidelines thread was made 8/17/2015 so I just went with that. Regardless, 2015 was a bad year. I mean, it brought us Steve.

You’ll make a great villain. You’re making Mizal very proud.

...

You've responded to the same comment thrice now. Why is that?

???

I can tell that this thread is just a classic in the making but I think that I'm just going to play some Dad of War 4 in the meanwhile. 

 

 

Seriously, you guys really missed an obvious opening.

"I don't use this site for the forums anyhow." - celebritydreams

The correct retort to that should have been:

"Judging by your story list, you don't use it for writing either."

Anyway carry on.

Bro, you just obliterated her soul.  

Damn you're right. How embarrassing, that should have been my line. My attention is divided and I'm just not at the top of my game tonight.

Does @WarriorCats have an opinion on the original question?

Jason Momoa's out, the dude's not that attractive. Like, he works as a cool power fantasy in its be badass to be him, but he's just kinda ugly with ripping muscles.

I guess Nathan Parson's next. I think he looks kinda cute in a villain kind of way, but the idea that he'd be like a pretty boy immediately makes me sick of his entire character.

Boyd Holbrook's depends on how Southern he is. Like, does he work on a farm and have that cool accent, or is he going to be wearing MAGA hats or trying to get me into NASCAR or talking about how he doesn't like queers? Because that would kill it for me, especially the queer-hating part. He'd be a major downer after sex with all his shame talk. Plus, the "mysterious" vibe makes me not want to deal with that shit.

So, I guess Logan Marshall-Green, he's the safe choice, even if he's a bit old. Yeah, I'll go with him.

'Twas a highly entertaining thread to read, but these horrid choices! James Franco it is.
