Just gonna say that this back and forth of "would a girl like Taylor be interested in a guy like TJ?" in here is a bit retarded.

Obviously, TJ is a sperg and a stuttering mess who has 0 muscle mass, and generally most women are not going to be interested in him, which is why he's never had a girlfriend.

But, as I'm sure some of you have seen in your own lives, sometimes women will go after guys who are dumb, uncoordinated, not conventionally good looking or not in shape. It happens. Especially with the pill being so prevalent, it changes what they're attracted to. People are into different things, just like there are guys into fat chicks or like how JF is attracted to retards.

Do I think that's what happened here? It's hard to say. She seems genuinely dumb, which is why I don't think she's an actor and why she possibly could be impressed by TJ's poorly delivered larping motivational/inspirational speeches. But it's also pretty clear that she likes the attention from the show and being associated with the winner, and her body language in the show was simultaneously generally slutty and specifically averse to TJ. It's hard to ignore the septum piercing and the whore posting on Instagram too. No matter which way you swing it, something doesn't quite add up.

Now to end the conversation I'll say this is Taylor did break up with him he still has a chance with the women of Michigan. Most of these guys out there are low bar so a regular 3-4 is like a 7. So he always has a chance to knock up a hunting/fishing queen. hopefully that inspires some optimism :optimistic:
 
Production allowing fat fuck Frank to break Shinji's glasses in the very last few days of the show was retarded. All it did was harm the show.

I think breaking peoples glass is stupid and over the top. You get a half blind contestant who can't do anything and then it opens things up further. Should they start fucking with peoples medications then? Also, production took forever to sort this. What did they do in the end? Get Shinji some shitty contact lenses?
 
I'm not sure where this idea that TJ was some ugly freak came from

He's fairly good looking, his hairline is alright, his face is symmetrical, his lips are alright, his teeth are white and straight, his eyebrows are tidy, he looked a bit fucked up with long hair but it'll look good when it grows out a bit again. He's a bit of a social reject, but looking at the kind of people Taylor was hanging out with previously, I would say it's nothing new for her

Taylor isn't some unachievable girl, she is more or less just your average online girl, she also has acne scars, yellow teeth and the septum piercing. If you look at her contestant picture she also has weird looking lips

I also disagree that she was never interested in him. Obviously they had a lot of awkward interactions but there were times like when they kissed on New Years or when she was petting his hair were she was clearly into him. I
If I had to guess what her casino job was it has something to do with flirting with guys and getting them to spend.

HAHAHA Shinji saying Taylor reminds him of prostitutes back in Japan

"Oh my God, I've seen this behaviour before"

He suspects she's a legit casino hooker

"It's succubus behavior"

... He's got my endorsement back
Shinji an expert when it comes to ladies of the night noticed.

I personally think Taylor went after TJ in the tank because she was told to, and she is now in his orbit because he won. She wants his money, his connections with the Fish Tank crew, and his fan base. That's all. Sam even tried to tell TJ not to go after Taylor after the show and to keep focusing on himself, but I doubt he'll listen.
I would be really surprised if this didn't turn out to be true.

I think she will wrap him around her little finger, spend his money, try to capture some of that rapidly fleeting post fishtank attention and once that has dried up, dump him with no second thought.

Because women aren't men.
Most attractive trait in a man for a woman is height, second confidence backed by approval from his peers.

And those were also thrown in the toilet. Shinji was blind, and sick at the end, and people bitch about him being a boring fish.

As for TJ, I think he has more to him than what we see. I remember him talking to Shinji about Japanese authors at the bar one night, and that was a big surprise. It wasn't just manga authors, either, it was some philosopher type.

Being on camera might just make him look retarded.
 
This last TJ stream was one of the most unintentionally funny things I’ve ever seen. He was playing CK3 and kept doing terrible impressions of the characters like the Indian guy or the old lady. I was watching it in the background and he would keep saying these funny lines out of context like “oh no my mom ran away from me” or “I need to marry a rich infertile woman”. TJ kept having all of these technical problems and Taylor was desperately messaging him trying to help him. Eventually, she had to call him up just so to tell him how to set up a poll. Later in the stream, TJ was trying to play chess with his friend. He was still using his laptop mic and had his game music blasting in the background. He turned off the music but his laptop mic was so bad it made it sound like they were in Eraserhead. The way he placed his laptop kept showing his puffy nipple.

Eventually they fixed the audio by using a fucking Xbox headset as their mic.

Can't quote because of the insane text walls and don't care enough to do it manually, but even if all the shit about what women are/aren't attracted to is ostensibly and generally true, the nature of human relationships is that emotional bonding trumps literally all of it, and the best way to form that usually is to be paired together in a strange situation, so I don't see it as impossible that Taylor found herself with feelings for TJ
 
TJ isn't ugly, he's unattractive, there is a difference, you can be objectively good looking but present yourself in a way that is very unattractive. Like I said, his face is fine, what makes him "ick" is everything else about him. He lacks charisma or wit. He can't talk at all (unless drunk), and he has zero confidence. He isn't tall nor is he athletic. His body build is average at best. He has no career or skills. He isn't rich. Etc. Outside of maybe a drunken one night stand, what exactly does TJ have that would make him attractive to the average woman? It's not incel logic to acknowledge that most women would find TJ off putting or repulsive.

And just to be clear, I'm not saying a guy needs to be tall, rich and have a six pack to get a date. It's not that an average guy can't find love and get a good looking woman interested in him, because plenty do. The problem is that TJ has so much going against him that the chances of a decent looking woman being into him is almost none, not unless said woman has zero self worth, is batshit, and/or she wants something from him.

Taylor is almost certainly not sane (What fish contestant is?) and she loves to drink, party, and gamble. She likes money and wants more, especially now that she's out of a job. So you'll have to forgive me if I don't trust her saying that she genuinely likes TJ, especially after seeing how uncomfortable she looked with him in the tank.

I ain't saying she's a gold digger... but...

Ok but like it worked. right? 😁

I hope you keep this optimism in the future, most people I know have given up that way of thinking. Unless this is in a weird incel-ish way where you wish women didn’t get rights.
Taylor found herself with feelings for TJ
This I don’t believe though idk, if she had to spend a longer amount of time with him I’d think she’d realize that there’s not much going on there. TJ doesn’t seem to be the most interesting of people. If there is something I don’t think it will last long.


I am probably VERY late and gay, but Turkey Tom interviewed Summer on TomDark.
Nah m8t in fact I think you should fill the chat up with 3 more links to the vid:evil:

I only stopped in for a second (he went live at like 1 AM EST, again, what is it with Shinji and TJ going live on PST time) but it looked like his views were at, I think, 250? Last time he was live it was over 1000. Did I just catch the very start of it, did it pick up or what?

My final thoughts on TJ's physical appearance- he's just not "hot." In any way. When he had his hair cut normally for a split second before they ass raped it in the cell there was a glimmer of an adult man capable of intercourse but baldness sends him crashing back into prepubescence, almost infancy.

Oh, I caught up on Jimmy streams also (I give up, I'll be the attractive_pneumonia of Jimmy. he's half funny because he's a lolcow and half on purpose, I can tolerate it). Views hover around 250, which is admirable, Damiel had 5th place last season too and on the rare occasions he went live he got 40 at best. Most haters have shaken off, which is about the same timing as last season, Vance got a lot of shit for about two or three streams and then they lost interest.

Nothing worth doing line by line notes on, he's got his "Valentine's Date", which he mentioned in the tank when he was the white shark, flying in this week to stay with him until the twentieth, the sly dog... He said his plan is to make her his family's strawberry cake and from then she'll have no choice but to stick around because the recipe is a secret. Corny, and there's no shot the cake is actually good, but the forethought and investment in her long term attraction are worth points, maybe. He mentioned that he and Meg didn't smash (obviously). Meg has a boyfriend who came with her on the visit, and who she lied about to get on the show. Interesting! Meg gets more action than anyone else.

Less romantic: someone asked him about cuddling Nifty and he said his only plan was to cuddle her because that would fulfill the challenge. Someone followed up: would he have had sex with her to win: he said yes. just outright, yes.
I mean Shinji has picked toilet paper out of a grandma's clunt for 6,000 yen and 50k is 50k but what a thing to admit to.

He actually does have very old books that, I have to admit, are interesting. He read aloud from one about eugenics that was dated I think like 1880 and it had a chapter about how alcoholism serves to stem the growth of the African population. He thinks he's going to be able to move them when he eventually sells them on the Internet which is probably too optimistic but from what is visible of his apartment (he lives alone, not with his parents, and not near friends, which is why, he says, he was a bit of an attention whore in the tank) there's a fuckton of hoardermans shit in there and he's not going to move all of it that way.

In the more recent stream Tayleigh and Sylvia were in his chat... bruh. If it wasn't for their TMDWU posting I would assume they were both slobbing his knob but I think they're walking a line between being his friend and being his lolcow inner circle. Tayleigh at least seems sincere, lots of very fangirly comments supporting him and calling back to their jokes. I think she's dropped the "I don't want to stream with Jimmy he's going to bring drama" and is way on board again, at least when she doesn't have to pretend to hate him to pander to her fans. Brian also hopped in and said he liked the vibe - he was playing one of his mix CDs that had a bunch of copyright music on it but it was a good playlist.

He kinda can't stop winning in his downtrodden way. That's what makes him fun to watch, he's got Cobes' whole vibe but he's got a bunch of friends supporting him and cheering him on instead of jeering at him. It does remind me of Jet saying he's tired of old lolcow like Cobes - given how long a video Jimmy's original application was I'm thinking Jet was literally thinking, "why get old cobra, I've got new cobra." I'm sure that the love and support wouldn't last if he were in a situation again where people would be afraid of him blowing up again but thousands of miles away it's, "good boy Jimmy!!!"
 
dude chill

people dissecting his character sheet stats like it's a slave market he isn't even short jfc
He isn't short but he isn't tall either, I brought his height up to point out that he has no natural advantage going for him other than a decent face.
he's got his "Valentine's Date", which he mentioned in the tank when he was the white shark, flying in this week to stay with him until the twentieth, the sly dog...
So is this a fan he's dating? You guys want to talk about who's ugly or not, back when I was scouring for updates on Nitter (RIP) I only saw that one black chick gushing about how cute TJ was. Meanwhile, I saw more than a handful of women wanting Jimmy and talking about how hot he is...yes, Jimmy, the sperg with the bad haircut and fluoride stare. None of these women appeared to be sane in the least. If Jimmy's dating one of these women, I hope he's ready for craziness and being accused of being abusive or something.

When Jimmy isn't getting upset or being a total sperg, he's a pretty funny guy and very entertaining. He'd be great to stream with if he could keep himself in check. Unfortunately, I see him ending up more or less like Jon and inevitably pissing his friends off and burning bridges.

Shoot, forgot to mention. In response to him saying she's a goth girl, some canny chatter asked him "what color is her hair?"

"Blue?" like it was such a normal response that didn't send the audience into hysterics
 
Post Tank I don't see many of them being very interesting. I don't really enjoy watching livestreams though so I'm a bit biased. Summer, Jimmy, and Cole have pretty good lolcow potential though.
