A girl recently joined our Exalted game. She's a very serious, engaged player and she knows the game well (more than me). She's sort of reserved but she gets along okay with everyone. Now here's the problem: she's really beautiful. Definitely one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen. And she's distracting to everyone, especially the Storyteller and me. He fumbles, he doesn't know how to deal with her character fairly, and whenever she suggests something he just kind of nods along. I'm even worse.
My question is: how do we deal with this? How do I get over it quickly? We've done four sessions with her already and my awkwardness is still maximum.
Lincoln Martin
You stop being an autistic piece of shit, all of you.
Fucking subhumans.
Isaiah Cooper
Kill yourself or learn to be a functioning human being that can interact with others without spaghetti spilling
Austin Morris
She's a human being, you fucking autists. Just treat her like you'd treat anyone else.
Cameron Taylor
Have you tried treating her as a person?
Liam Bailey
Have a wank before the sesh and spend more time around women. Are you 14 or something?
Jordan Mitchell
I am trying that. I just get intimidated. It doesn't help that she's kinda cold and distant, so I can't interact with her in a "relaxed" way. It's not like I get a boner just by sitting next to her. It's more like I try really hard not to make a fool of myself and that makes me act like a fool. Does that make sense?
I'm 19 and a kissless virgin (obviously.)
Samuel Nelson
Have you tried not being a hormone addled teenager?
Brody Torres
Yes. I also tried turning it on and off again. I'm still a cringey idiot around women, and so is the rest of my group actually. Except one dude who is the Chad of the band, but she seems to dislike him.
Julian Howard
Listen user, if she stayed during four games with you dming miserably it obviously means that she wants the d. If I were you I'd start injecting progressively your fetish in the game and start hitting on her by making subtle allusions during play. Trust me, I'm a real casanova.
Easton Rivera
Well if you can't handle the heat kick it out of your group.
Or have her wear a paper bag on her face to hide her weapons zed beauty or som ed shit, maybe a clown nose and a fake toothbrush mustache or something.
Angel Gonzalez
Chicks love that shit.
Justin Robinson
Just don't care about it user.
Nathaniel Martin
Not falling for that. She's so out of my league we're not playing the same sport, hell we don't live in the same realm of existence. That would be unfair tho. It's not like she's trying to make us uncomfortable. She comes to the session in her work clothes and she barely wears makeup.
James Lewis
That and classy deodorants like Axe.
Gavin Stewart
>Exalted game.
I stopped right there, before I even TRIED to read further. Veeky Forums, you've tricked me before. You've made a damned dastardly fool of me. But not this time!
It was a good try, but nobody actually gets to play Exalted.
Mason White
>She's so out of my league we're not playing the same sport Then why care what she thinks?
Cooper Howard
>guys, a perfect opportunity has arisen to help cure me of my social awkwardness

Jordan Miller
Tell yourself and your cruddy friends to stop thinking with their dicks, and get their heads in the game. She's not going to fuck any of you, so stop seeing her as a chick and start looking at her as a fellow player.
Robert Taylor
...
Brody Campbell
She's probably a skinnyfat 5/10 at best and OP is such a faggot that he gets uncomfortable with her. Post a picture of her and you so we can judge your hopelessness level.
Camden Sanders
Assuming that this is genuine (which I don't entirely believe) the thing is to just be self-aware of it. You're already calling yourself out about it, aware you're not acting like you think you should. Just keep that awareness going and try to keep it "in the moment". Bring it up to the GM, see if he feels the same way.
As for how to deal with the awkwardness, that'll go away as the game continues and you grow use to this new player.
Anthony Torres
>I'm 19 autist and a kissless virgin (obviously.) Here, ftfy.
Cameron Gomez
OP just romance her character
Gabriel Bennett
Nice bait.
But you know what's the really scary part? At least part of it might be genuine. Or worse - somewhere in the world there is a collosal faggot like OP, who went through all of this, but genuinely.
Owen Hall
Who the fuck would waste a 5th level spell slot on charming someone?
Ayden Bailey
Someone who really doesn't want their spell to fail.
Lincoln Baker
At this point, jerk off before the session. And according to your posts, I urge you to stop idolizing her. Try to discuss normally, it should help. The best way to get better at human contact is experience.
Kevin Bennett
I don't know. I'm dumb I guess. That's a great way of looking at it. How do you.. actually do that tho? I'm being serious. This isn't a "womyn ruin everything" thread I think it's cool that girls are getting into rpgs.
Yes my friend feels the same way, in fact I talked to everyone about it after the first session. The moment she went out of the door we looked at each other and basically went "holy shit is that girl gorgeous wtf is she doing hanging out with us??"
Ayden White
>Implying any of it ever happend >Implying OP isn't a total faggot user...
Oliver Baker
The obvious choice (as many anons already suggested) is to treat her like a human being.
Other than that, you could try to get more female players into your group. This may sound counter-productive but my group is currently exactly 50% female and I’ve never had any problems. That way she wouldn’t be "the Female" anymore.
Adrian Phillips
Ok, let's indulge for a brief moment with this pathetic bait You've got a serious hormonal problem. 19 years old aren't that horny, no matter fucking what. ESPECIALLY if they are kisseless virgins. It's that fucking simple. Go see a doctor, he will give you receipt to go through endocrinological tests. Who knows, maybe you have some serious biological instability?
Jackson Murphy
Some mean responses here.
Honestly this is something you've got to deal with in life. Beating off early in the day will probably help and mysogny helps a great deal.
Jonathan Perry
Why not jerking off during the session?
John Evans
>mysogny helps a great deal
Jose Barnes
Yeah at the start of every game just gather round the Girl and cum on her face. Make it part of the roleplay!
Cooper Lewis
Oh, look, it's the "I've been a horrible piece of shit for so long I've started to hate women due to unwillingness to stop being subhuman" post!
Carter Ortiz
The wank works senpai. You don't notice it but you behaviour changes depending on the last time you wanked.
But don't have it before the session, have it on the morning or even better the night before.
Andrew Young
stick ponos in vagoo
Xavier Parker

Jayden Stewart
>It's not like I get a boner just by sitting next to her liar liar pants on fire this is transparently about you being a horny little toad
William Taylor
Imagine her dumping a fat ogre shit to break the idolatry. Remember, she does it constantly, maybe even once a day.
Unless you're into that crap. Don't imagine her doing it if you're into it, just find another thing.
Robert Rodriguez
All right the wank motion is unanimously passed. I shall try that tomorrow.
I'm not saying I never got a hardon. Just not all the time.
Dominic Harris
I'm ready to give you the benefit of the doubt, and I'll probably anwser to an obvious bait knowing it could at least be useful to some other younger posters.
First of all, if she's here that's probably because she's a nerd, just like everyone else at your table. So treat her as such, and not as some walking fantasy. It's a person just like you or me with which you should (and must) communicate as a sane human being, and not a confetti-farting princess to which you must dedicate your lusty thoughts 24/7. If her mere presence is enough to send you all into the bottomless pit of needless drama, then I recommand you to apply an heavy dose of this useful thing called "porn", that you can use beforehand to relieve yourself of your unrequired sexual impulses.
Beyond that, just deal with it and respect her without putting her on a pedestal as if she were the eighth wonder of the world, you hormonally uncalibrated idiots.
Let's be honest, we've all be here, as young horny males. So I can't even be mad at the idea of youngster spilling spaghettis out of their pockets at the mere presence of a woman. This actually makes me chuckle, heavily.
Caleb Ward
cute girl that know's shit and plays well
of fucking course this story is real
ahahaha
fuck off
Christian Diaz
>I'm 19 So you are telling me, OP, you somehow survived that long, while being completely unable to handle basic social interaction and self-control, skills that comes with just being around humans?
Have you've been home-schooled? And this is a genuine question here.
Ryan Peterson
Random user here, but your reading comprehension is laughable. Have you read past the first line of his bait?
Leo Long
You have the power of pheromones with you. Urinate around the table before the session to mark your territory - this will intimidate all your players and make you look alpha as fuck. I also recommend to avoid showering or bathing for a while. The chick won't be able to resist your aura of masculinity.
Elijah Perry
...
Austin White
As a guy who went through similar shit (but I was fucking 15 back then and she really was fucking gorgeous... still is), this user is right how to handle this. On the other hand, I've figured it out myself, rather than looking for advices.
Aaron Hall
Second. Honestly your issue could be just lack of exposure to women and a good way to fix that, with the added benefit of seeing who else likes tabletop games, is to find more. Eventually your awkwardness will hopefully subside and your ability to enjoy games will go up significantly.
Nathaniel Lee
Stick a potato in your underwear before playing.
Protip: Stick the potato in front, not behind.
Michael Bell
Thanks for the advice. Maybe I just need to get accustomed to her presence over time, build up a tolerance. Also apparently, I need to wank constantly.
I wasn't homeschooled but I dropped out of high school in the first year. Before that I was already awkward and had social anxiety. I mostly stay at home on the computer. Roleplaying is one of the only things that make me go out for a bit.
Well I admitted I'm pathetic right off the bat. But the other guys in my group feel more or less the same so it's not just me.
I keep hoping for that to happen but I spent like 10 hours around her already and it has not gotten better.
Gabriel Rogers
>intimidated There we go. Hang out with her after games, find out more about who she is as a person. Find her flaws and humanity. Does she fart? Yes. Does she have shitty days? Yes. You guys seem to be putting her on a pedestal and that's not fun, even for her. Pretty sure she's noticed it too.
Ethan Ortiz
>I spent like 10 hours around her already and it has not gotten better Yep, you have no social skills. 10 hours is the time needed to breefly familiarise with someone, assuming you already knew each other from workplace or uni or even school, you inept faggot. You won't even KNOW her until you spent roughtly 100 hours of conversation and interaction. And since you apparently only game together, it will take you some serious time.
And admitting being pathetic doesn't makes you any less pathetic.
Luke Morgan
Dude, you seem to have some anxiety issues or some shit. Like, I believe you, man. I've seen 23 - 26 year old men treat some women at the table like ideal waifus/ japanese idols (and these women encouraging that sort of behaviour as well, which isn't cool.) Anyway, I suggest you just play it cool. The fact that you're worried about losing your spaghetti probably means you're behaving like a normal human being. Also the act she sticks around probably means the same thing.
SO NIGGA, ACT COOL. You just need to all wear your sun glasses, engage in banter and have a good time like you used to. The faster you can get into banter (protip: if you're not comfortable in bantering about her, don't do it. Don't even think of bantering about losing your spaghetti or her looks.) And then play the game have a good time and then profit. Try to get over it with exposure therapy. A beautiful women is not that scary once you've learned to live with them. You don't need to emditate under a waterfall, masturbate 12 times a day or learn the way of the tao to git better at human interaction. I know it's shitty advice, but the only way to git gud is by doing the thing.
Connor Martin
>You don't need to emditate under a waterfall, masturbate 12 times a day or learn the way of the tao to git better at human interaction. I know it's shitty advice, but the only way to git gud is by doing the thing. Not the OP, but that's one of the better advices in this thread, so keep it up.
Zachary Lewis
I don't care if it's real or not. We're on Veeky Forums; as long as you're polite, ask questions and you'll get answers.
Jace Phillips
pick up lines, find the lamest pick up lines you can think of and tell em to her as a joke.
make sure you tell her it's for the laughs, (it's obvious that its not, but put the burden of paranoia on her.) she'll either split. or you'll get over your own insecurities and have a good time.
also, wear deodorant.
Charles Howard
>comprehension is laughable
I think yours ain't better really.
If your read my response again you should notice "know's shit" and "plays well".
Something showing that i understood this from SECOND sentence. But you didn't. I have no idea how my post implies lack of reading comprehension at all.
Only thing that is a sore is that i called it 'story' incorrectly as its more of a question. But that was intentional as in 'cool story bro' as its obvious that this story is a blatant bait and a fake as chicks like this don't exist.
Go being hypocritical faggot somewhere else.
Caleb Gray
It's true though, feeling like that makes you learn to stop caring about superficial stuff like what's on the outside and really focus on what's inside, and hating it. A bit of misanthropy goes a long way towards curing a lot of social anxiety, about half as good as valium, but much cheaper.
Landon Richardson
Masturbate and then shower in the cold water before every session. Meditate often.
Evan Wright
just wank before the sessions
Austin Rodriguez
Take a pic of her (grab one from her facebook or w/e) and have a proper wank to her, shortly before the session.
Hunter Diaz
>All those "you need to masturbate" posts How to spot people trapped in being forever virgin on their own admission. Wanking off won't help. And on the large scale, it will only fuck up OP further, making him then unable to have normal sex without therapy, due to prolongued masturbation issues.
Instead, just start having fucking interactions with other humans, OP. Dunno, you sound like someone still living with his parents. Start doing shopping for your mother. It's amazingly easy way to learn how to handle other people for inept idiots like you - buying groceries. Start having a social life, goddamnit. ANY form of social life, because as it seems right now, you are so fucking sheltered from human interaction it's actively hurting you.

This was my first thought, assuming for a moment that this isn't just bait, people are being too harsh on OP.
William Anderson
>Turning your entry-tier social anxiety into open hate to people will fix you up Have you tried eating a bullet?
Jonathan Cook
OP admitted being 19. It means he's past the age where this shit is excusable. If he was 14 or so, it would be right on the money. Meanwhile, he's legally adult and can't handle female presence.
So no wonder people are harsh
Charles Kelly
Ohhhhhh. I see what this is. Don't worry dude be as awkward as you want, she's loving it.
This is your typical queen of the nerds type girl. She loves hanging with a bunch of basement dwelling Delta males because she basically runs you guys. She dislikes Chad because he keeps his spaghetti in check. I've seen this many times. Don't give in. Treat her like any other player.
Christian Morris
>I am trying that. I just get intimidated. It doesn't help that she's kinda cold and distant, so I can't interact with her in a "relaxed" way.
Stop lying to yourself that you're not attracted to her. Speaking as a former 'nice guy' awkward creeper, if you're super nervous and intimidated talking to them its because you're worried about their reaction will make you seem like a lesser person. You have to just honestly not care about it and just talk to them like another person. And not in a 'fuck you I'm saying whatever I want because fuck you' way but in a 'you're an acquaintance and somebody I know socially but I really don't care how this goes down otherwise'
I mean shit, I'm not going to pretend I'm some sort of social wizard, but it's really easy to just put a filter up of 'these are people I work/game with, don't be a fucking creeper'
Jace Perry
After you buddy, after you
No thanks, I'd rather share them with needy people like yourselves rather than selfishly hogging them all to myself.
Blake Jackson
Dude, that was how I acted when I was 15/16. Then I got laid and it got better. Or course, even at the uni, there were sometimes some beauties (I remember one in particular) but just concentrate on the fucking game. She's just a human and if she's that beautiful, she's probably already getting inches from her 2 meter-tall ripped bf. You don't have the hint of a chance. Learn your place, little worms.
Kayden Williams
I dunno mate, I didn't hit puberty rill I was sixteen and it hit me like a tonn of bricks.
Gabriel Ortiz
Alright user, I'll help you out. I remember what it's like to be a young man.
Just keep in mind one simple thing: bitch be crazy. A hot girl legitimately enjoying a nerd hobby, not just slumming it for geek girl cred? 90% chance that bitch be crazy. Somehow. The better the crazy's hidden, the less you want to be there when it blows. And here's another life lesson for you, one that I had to learn the hard way myself: don't stick your dick in the crazy. Just don't. It's not worth it.
Keep it in mind in your interactions with her: yes she's hot, but you do NOT want the crazy that comes with that. That should help you keep your hormones in check and deal with her like a normal person.
Thomas Nelson
It's like you are not even trying
Grayson Flores
>And on the large scale, it will only fuck up OP further, making him then unable to have normal sex without therapy, due to prolongued masturbation issues.

Fucking this. Didn't they teach you people about interpersonal relations in remedial school? >She's a very serious, engaged player and she knows the game well (more than me) Then there should be no problems. Look If her being beautifull is such a distraction for You, just concentrate on other things. Treat her as a friend, another guy in the group. She'll be happy about It.
Jordan Hernandez
>How to spot people trapped in being forever virgin on their own admission.
Or just, you know, not being currently in a relationship.
>Wanking off won't help. And on the large scale, it will only fuck up OP further, making him then unable to have normal sex without therapy, due to prolongued masturbation issues. ... I don't know what to say. You sound like either a tremendous faggot (and not in the littéral sense), either like some butthurt christian who believes that masturbatory habits are calling lucifer upon your soul, which by the way isn't better that idiots believing that D&D is litteraly Hitler-Satan in disguise.
Can't argue with the second part of your post, though.
Justin Ortiz
>using canned "bait" posts against anything you don't like How lame can you get?
Charles Jenkins
>19 >stable job What the fuck kind of society do you live in? A lot of teens (19 is still, by definition, teenage) still live with their parents up to some 22 or some shit. I mean fuck, a lot of students don't finish their studies until they are 23/24.
Jace Parker
The main difference between them and OP is having sex. OP would end up as a literal wanker, with no sex life and then climaxing in 10 seconds. Or, which is worse, made him so used to strong mechanical stimulus, normal sex won't even work for him due to stimulus being too weak. Which is a great way to ruin sex life for him and any of his potential partners.
In short - masturbating furiously while being a kissless virgin is a guaranteed way to fuck yourself further.
Juan Nguyen

A society where I have enough social aids to make it without working. Or yeah, I've already worked during the summer holidays and abroad as well of course but my situation allows me to make it through life without having to work right now. It's a shit system but I can benefit so why the fuck not?
Justin Hill
I guess different people just have different experiences towards masturbation, then. I mean, it never bothered me, neither disturbed my sex life in the slightest, to wank even before meeting my ex-girlfriends.
I am now curious to know from where this belief that masturbation could imbalance anyone this much comes from.
Asher Lewis
On a side note I think all the masturbation shit in this thread is pretty shitty advice. Like, it has its upsides and downsides, but I like to compare it to eating potato chips. It can help with some hankerings or whatever, but more than a bag a day can lead down a pretty unhealthy life style.
I was like you once. It can help, but it also easily leads you to being a douche bag and hurting people along the way. The important thing about this PUA style mind set is that it can also make you a fun person to be around (you stop being all holier-than-thou and scared of hurting people's feelings and socially anxious). So the thing to take away is to find strategies that make you enjoyable/ entertaining company and you can be that while still caring for people.
I also think you should interact more, but it's difficult to get better at social interaction through trial and error. Having a gaming group is a good start though. Colleagues and the like should also teach you about normie shit.
Also, this user is crazy, but he says something valuable: you're obviously attracted to her. You should deal with that in some way. For reasons you think you're out of her league, so you probably are. It may bleed through in your interactions with her, so you're reasonably worried. Try connecting with some girl you think is in your league. Connecting FIRST. Anyway, I'm not your life coach, but that's some quick pointers that come to mind.
Adrian Perry
>It's a shit system How so? Sounds pretty nice.

>He doesn't take menial jobs to stay afloat as a student Nice knowing you are too proud to work. And it's not some sort of "pull by your boothstraps" bullshit. It's just logic. If you study full time, the only job you will be able to hold will be some menial shit like cleaning, waitress or half-hours in an office or maybe graveyard shifts if they allow to sleep when there are no customers. A type of job that will cover your bills perfectly.
Being too pround for that is just fucking stupid. I've spend my 5 years on the uni cleaning windows. For hour of work a day, I was earning enough to stay afloat and still have spare money when needed or to go for summer school. And I fucking hate cleaning. But the alternative was to fucking starve.
Luis Carter
He's not wrong though. A bad sex life can fuck up someone pretty good. Sex makes up a HUGE part of our inner selves and is psychologically very important. You can bet that if /pol/ shitters managed to have some regular non-prostitute sex, they'd MUCH less the edgy 14 year old "FUCK THE SYSTEM" brats they are right now.
Luke Rogers
I respect your opinion, having been quite cynical for a long time as a way to cope with my own personal issues. But believe me, it hurts you more than it helps you in any meaningful way in the long run.
Try to strike a good balance between being aware of how shitty some human beings can be, and accepting the good in other people when you see it. It is all a matter of equilibrium.

>Belief Fuckload of studies done by sexuologists in past 40 years? Because you know there are people researching that stuff... right?
The conclusion was - prolonged masturbation as a substitute for sex life has a down-ward spiral effect on the quality of the sex life later. Main source of data - prisoners and deployed soldiers, but still data nontheless.
