I still have the record completion time of Resident Evil 2. 42 minutes 19 seconds.
The daughters were nice in a violent and threatening kind of way.Well, maaaaybe the voice actresses for the characters are popular with me, but not so much the vampire family themselves.I actually brought this up because I have a YT vid going on in the background while browsing the Internet right now where the three voice actresses for the family are personally signing autographs for fans, Bekka Prewitt, Maggie Robertson, and Nicole Tompkins. I know there are four actresses originally, of course, but, unfortunately, one of them died from cancer not long after RE8 was released, which is a pity.
If you did not know, Nicole Tompkins also voiced Jill in the RE3 Remake last year, and ever since she's been very active on her YT channel featuring vids like the one above and her own blind Let's Plays of other RE games. It's often amusing to see her freak out when encountering the scary moments for the first time, not knowing they're coming, such as the moment I particularly liked below while she was playing RE1 Remake.
The person I'm speaking of, I'm not sure if he was a social climber, but he was very envious of his clients.. I could tell when he showed me one of the beach houses of one of his first clients. I don't think he was respectful of their property as I would be. Or even respectful when talking about them as people and their lifestyle. I'm pretty sure he can't afford the fancy cars so he buys older versions and has them polished up like new. He has a charisma and boyish charm. Good with his words... But I got the impression that he was like a servant to these multi-billionaires and was resentful.But given the impact of the encounter I think its important you recognize social climbers and avoid them. They always go for the package.
This is good and interesting information.She experienced the same. But they told her openly. And she was equally hurt.
This part I couldn't understand what this was referring to. Do you mean to fashion and form the woman to fit the lifestyle or presence that needs to be presented before others? To be able to speak the language of the circle?They're unwilling to invest because its very expensive. The process will take 6 months to a year of custom instruction to prepare her. You're looking at six figures.
this is also a little bit over my head.He's buying her a pedigree. You can't get that from books. Not at that scale.
I think I've come across online a couple guys that talk about their charitable events and involvement in different things but we never made a connection like I did with the entj. He did start off with talking about being the president of his town and later telling me that he came from a privileged background. It's only little by little that he let me in his world to tell me about his upbringing. It really bothered me that he could care less about my upbringing. And he wanted to show me pictures of his grandfather and people in his family but he had no response for mine.Pay attention to comments regarding social and cultural events and charitable endeavors.
Very interesting. That's one thing I don't think I felt that I had to have around this guy with some kind of dress standard. He did tell me the price tag on everything and I thought it was strange that he sent me a picture of weed eating in a $200 pair of jeans. It's like he was trying to develop a new persona from what he was before when he was married. He was raised on a yuppie farm and I guess he was trying to find a girl that was more into some kind of yard work and such. Which I fit and his prior girlfriend didn't fit and neither does the one that he has now. I think he waivers between wanting someone who will Garden, but he wants someone that looks a certain part. It's like he wants somebody who looks a certain way but is much more relaxed on their physical standards. He told me his last girlfriend had no moral compass like I do, but I told him that must have been something he wanted. And he responded, yeah it was fun. I kind of think this guy does not fit the type that you are talking about but he is chasing after trying to present himself in that manner. I also think he does a lot of dishonest things to get the money that he does since he has a pending lawsuit from one of the houses he built. Plus his reviews got worse after his divorce I think. My intuition tells me there's a lot of hidden things.For example, when I dealt with the other he wanted me to get a position on a board and resume my charitable work. He had a dress standard too. Hair, clothing, etc.
I will keep all of these things in mind. There is a Christian guy I began talking to about a couple months ago that has a family business for the past 75 years. He just recently became a CPA, he tells me about his charitable work, his family looks very polished, and he lives a public life. He ended up sending a text to say he was too busy to keep up, plus the distance between two states, but I will be up his way to visit my sister so I will have a lunch coffee with him in September. I highly doubt he's the type of prominent that you are talking about though. He's definitely plugged into his church and study.When you hear things along those lines you're dealing with someone in a prominent position, person with a large network, or a man in important circles.
Yes, God willing, I pray it's my last also. I probably won't have the answers till I get to heaven, I know I was protected, as this has happened to me more than one occasion that I've been protected from someone that probably did not have good intentions with me. Thanks for your concern.They're always exacting. She's had several letdowns. God willing this is your last.
Some of this I got a little bit lost on but I think you're referring to someone having an experience that's similar to the guy that I'm having trouble getting over that is an entj and was in prominent position for his town and architect.

he began to talk about a creative club that he's part of and he discovered in london. I really didn't know what he was talking about. After our date he sent me a bunch of pictures with no explanation. Later I found out that was pictures from the club he was part of and his time in London.
And I think he only had those dogs as status symbols, even though he cared about them and had to constantly clean up after them. Even our dates had to be worked around it so that he could get back in time in case something happened.

Please pray for me though to discern because there are a lot of people that I have interacted with and possibly will be interacting with. Most likely not in the next couple months as I've pretty much been fatigued from online dating.

Haha. I understand. Hopefully @SarahsKnight is getting the rest that he needs.I'm sorry! I intended to post you earlier but @SarahsKnight distracted me and required medical assistance. He's resting comfortably at St. Mungo's.
yes I do think he was desperate financially. And the gal that he made the connection with, I think was of a higher income since she was divorced twice to guys that were maybe 15 years. I also had done a background check and it put her income as 30k or so higher than his and she had all the right outfits... Her house is still for sale and is underpriced. It should be over a million dollars. The daughter seem to have sort of a privileged life also and is in college now. She may have had a privileged upbringing since she was originally from the East Coast, and one of her high School pictures looks like a well to do home. He made a trade for something he told me he never would do which is to date someone that is a couple states away, she's even further. Which means they only get to see each other every two weeks. They did break up at one point, and I'm sure it was because of the distance. He also has a bad temper that he is on medication for and my perception is that he was the one to try to get her back 3 to 4 months later. Probably because there is not much of a market online or elsewhere at his age.Trades happen for two reasons: To help you climb or when you've arrived. He wasn't content financially and had already taken odd jobs to fatten the coffers. The lone choice was earning more or bringing in someone who did.
yes I might agree. My friend that had seen the beach house that he built, said she didn't understand why he was at their place trying to hook up their wi-fi. It was a second home for a couple that had another home down south. Originally he was going to need my help with moving a table, he was making an excuse so I could use their shower after my run at the sand dunes before our date. He had a long established relationship with that couple though, since they were his first clients.Trades happen for two reasons: To help you climb or when you've arrived.

yes I might agree. Looking back at old pictures it seems like his ex-wife might have been the one to help him keep up the image. I wouldn't be surprised if she was the one to help him select his clothes. I thought maybe he had a good sense of dress, until a discussion we had at work about most of the wives picking out their men's outfits. I remember him once sending a picture while he was working on a house, and his outfit looked a little bit dorky to me. Also one of the hats that he would wear in his convertible, I also thought was not the best choice. And when he offered me one of his hats once, I told him I brought my own because I didn't like the look of it. I kind of think he was offended.Basically. He provides a service and they pay him. But that isn't a line of work most can do without feeling the same. Not if you want to be in their shoes.
Yes, this makes sense.Yes. The preparation isn't solely with the goal in mind. You want her to fit in any scenario. Top ups occur if you're dealing with cultural differences or special situations that require different protocols
Looking back I understand this now. I really didn't see his lineage as any better than mine. But now I understand, whereas my family did not lead to as much wealth as his. My family did at one time have quite a bit with bootlegging, but I think it was lost over time. We still have our family farm though.Lineage is smiled upon in the dating market. It was a nod to reflected glory and an early sign of a different attitude. Silence is a clever way of disapproving without admitting it.
Yes I think it was, and I will understand that in the future. Being on his social media for a year gave me more insight to some of the questions that I had. The social club that he's part of, it runs probably over a thousand at least per year, and you have to know 2 to 3 members. I thought maybe it was maybe his clients, but I saw that when he did his once a year visit for his birthday during the breakup, he was talking to guys that work there. I find it interesting that I think they are gay plus the clients that he talks to the most are also a gay couple. Not that it means anything, but I found it strange with his background as a Christian and his associations. I think when we were talking he wanted to take me to the couples beach house, but it was way past my bedtime.. that healthwise I couldn't at the time. This was another area of contention, his late hours and my early hours.It might have been a test to gauge your familiarity. It sounds like a social club.
yeah, I can't remember the name of the dog but it sort of reminds me of the video that you had of preppy lifestyle. I think they are a hunting dog with floppy ears.Animals as status symbols. For whose benefit?
yes he definitely was all about impressions. I found it so odd at the beginning of his conversations with me, how he would keep slipping in different status things. To me I saw it as a red flag from the beginning that he considered himself the mayor, but his title was president. I would try to correct him on that, but he pretty much ignored that it would not admit.Maybe he wanted to impress you. Most are tight lipped about their spending. They'll mention smaller stuff. And gardening in $200 jeans is a subtle nod to privilege. You're not worried about ruining them. You can buy more.
yes I think so. Thanks for helping me think through more of this.His behavior is elitist. Social climbers are overly concerned with appearances. They want to look the part and gain acceptance.
I definitely will be praying and wrote it down on my prayer journal. We all need to be praying for each other. There's so much power in prayer and looking to the Lord.I'm happy to do so and please pray on my behalf. I'm not looking but you never know. I haven't spoken to amigo 3 (my nickname for the bunch) in a few years. He's the tech CIO I mentioned in the past. There was a moment today when I noticed a shift in his demeanor. I'll see what he does.
I like this. Very trueHe said something about online dating I'm going to share. He's a bit outspoken but spot on.
Many women want Prince Charming to pluck them out of obscurity and turn them into a pretty pretty princess. Just as many weak men (on here) are looking for some misguided but uncommonly beautiful fool of a woman to give herself to him magically transforming him into the alpha of all alphas.
Both are chasing fairy tales. It doesn’t work like that. You gotta make yourself into the person that deserves the mate you want.
Again cart...horse...switch places.
I'm sorry! I intended to post you earlier but @SarahsKnight distracted me and required medical assistance. He's resting comfortably at St. Mungo's.
There's guys that I have been crushed by, but very few leave a cerebral impression like he did. I wouldn't be surprised if it was vice versa since he said I was the first person he ever had a cerebral relationship with.
And it's always possible that we will cross paths again, and I pray that I am in a much better place when and if that time comes.

He had a price tag for pretty much everything. The price of the brakes getting fixed while he was on his timeshare was quite a bit for his range rover. He forgot one of his coolers and bought another one like it was nothing, I can't remember the name brand right now but I know there's two $200 or so.
I never understood if he had mentally withdrawn or he had gone searching for someone else. He told me more than one time that he wavered on me being a long-term prospect. I was very prudent on the physical and the potential of visiting his place. I know this was a high point of contention.
yes I might agree. My friend that had seen the beach house that he built, said she didn't understand why he was at their place trying to hook up their wi-fi. It was a second home for a couple that had another home down south.

What will the laborers get? Yes, there are jobs people will do because of the goodness of their heart, but a lot of jobs require some sort of incentive.What if we got rid of money and gave all the money in the world as an offering to God? I think that would be a good idea.
Money is a big problem. Food grows for free and should be free. Homelessness continues to grow.

@DragonFox91 @bèlla I'm just sad about the cost of living. I wish homelessness didn't exist.
I wish the world cared more about people that are homeless.
