I would laugh but as far as posts about the fun, flirtatious interplay between men and women go I’m liking this one.
Guys who talk about hating “games” miss out on the fun you experience when you savor this fun phase when everything is soaked in that ‘horny peril’. We hate it when we’re young because we don’t understand the rules of the game we’re playing but once you figure it out, winning is a hell of a lot of fun.

@RupertvonRipp @merchantHelios Yeah but the phase is only around for the beginning. It’s still fun later but you don’t have that same dopaminergic rush of mother nature egging you on to impregnate a fresh woman
Games are fun, you just can’t play ‘em forever

@merchantHelios Which is just “i hate playing it because I always lose”
once you learn how to win it’s a rush

@SettlerLife @merchantHelios Then you haven’t been living enough, reading people isn’t this dark art. You have to go through things, take on jobs, go on adventures, do stuff that puts you in contact with new situations and people - then you have this empathy you can tap into to ‘read’ people, because you know how they feel.
Reading women isn’t all that wild once you get to know the pattern they have in common. they’re foreign, but not completely alien to us. But we have to learn from IRL interactions, not media, which is where a lot of kids really screw themselves.

@bleedingphoenix Just the ‘will they won’t they’ you play with a girl when you’re in the early stages of courting her. That phase when you haven’t made your interest concrete by putting it into words.
That’s why this game rings so real. This echoes the kind of dynamic you have when you’re “just friends” and hanging out with a couple girls, totally naive and blind to the fact one/both are into you. They come up with stupid stuff that’s supposed to provide pretext for flirtatious contact. You’ll do stupid things like play play keep-away with something or get a game of cheat Uno going (I think this is a local thing, it’s where you’re supposed to cheat by hiding cards anywhere on your body but when someone calls you out they feel for them, if they find them you have to add a penalty to your hand, if they don’t they do. It’s just a game of “hey grope us as much as you want”, basically)
(Haven’t seen it but I’m guessing from osmosis) In this case she’s interested in you but she’s too embarrassed to put herself out there and be overt about it. She’s setting up a situation where she’s hoping you’ll pass on the other girl (not hard, since she’s ignoring you) and going for HER, giving her this victory where she gets to maintain her pride without being wounded by being passed up by you. She’s hoping you choose her. That’s a big deal to a woman.
This kind of dynamic is why guys will go for the girl on the left. Then the redhead will pout and go quiet for the rest of the night while he moans “I don’t get it, what’s your problem? What did I doooooooo?“
It’s cute and lifelike, if not a little idealistic. This is a little too smart for an IRL girl to come up with but whatever

@bleedingphoenix Yeah, she’s hoping you go for hers, and she’d probably chicken out before anything happens too far anyways. You’d best go for her hands and straddle her waist so she can’t escape
if your hands are big enough you can pin them both with one and threaten to tickle her with the other

@WashedOutGundamPilot ah, okay i get it. as you said i doubt something on this level would happen, but it’s an entertaining concept and that’s why it works so nicely in the art.
however, in this hypothetical, the correct choice would be going for Asuka’s donut, right? like in the screencap i posted.
