Life. (be prepared for reading)
Sir Ulrich:
I have always been picky, I think I am at least decent looking and deserve someone whos just as decent looking. I dont want a girl whos not attractive to me, I mean what goods the girl if you dont find her attractive. For me clicking with me is one of the biggest deals along with being attractive to me.
Oh, well I got a kettle helm which people don't recognize as a knights helm. Time to invest in a great helm I suppose. I also aint the tallest and medieval shoes unlike my regular boots dont raise me up 2 inches from the ground and make me look 5 10. I think thats partially why no one notices me really. I did have a girl take a pic of me before at a medieval faire but I was too socially crippled at the moment to even socialize properly at the time. Red and black coloration and black maille armor along with a great helm would stand out and people would probably like my kit. I do think I'm a little too self critical though with my kits, whats good to most people may not be good to me. I'd prolly hunch over with all that heavy armor on thank god I invested in riveted maille and didnt settle for butted mild steel crap.
SirNathanQ:
Just a note, don't be too snooty when choosing what women to talk to. Remember, girls like to see that you're not a D-bag who only acknowledges hot girls. Also, they often will introduce you to attractive friends ;)

I hate to play the age card, but your tastes will probably change a bit over the next 5 years or so. No matter how attractive the girl is, if you don't get along well, it's not going to be pleasant. On the other hand, sometimes attraction comes from being able to 'be yourself' around somebody, and not just physical appearance. Of course, if you find somebody who meets both of those - don't wait forever!

I know exactly what you mean, I am (generally) my own worst critic and I'm OCD with things that most people don't care much about. Like with my mail, I ruled out several options just based on the fact the same size and material isn't available for chausses, hauberk, fauld, voiders, and coif. It's even historical to have mail that doesn't match, but I still had to go with "all of it needs to look the same!", for some reason.
I have a hard time accepting compliments, and am in the habit of what often is basically someone saying "Hey, I like your armor" and I start on some rant like "Thanks, yeah, I think the legs are sitting a little funny, I need to get some better footwear, I'd really like an Albion sword instead of this one, and the shoulders keep catching on my breastplate, but, I guess it looks fine to other people, I'm just not happy with it. So-and-so makes a great set of pauldrons, but they have a 6 month waiting list, and I ordered a set from whoever that hasn't made or shipped them for 8 months, so I doubt I'll ever see that armor or money back, and I don't want to pay somebody else for something that I should have from before, and I can't find anywhere that makes good period scabbards for a reasonable price, and I don't want to pay a lot of money for a scabbard I'd have to glue a sword into just to get it here into MDRF. Maybe I should just run around yelling 'lightning bolt! lightning bolt!' with some elf ears. It reminds me of D&D, and I used to like that when I was younger, but never really had much chance to play. Except for the PC games, but our computer was too slow to run it, and I was always fighting with my sister for who gets to use the computer too........................" at which point I realize I've gone off on a horrible tangent, stop at a completely random sentence, and kind of stare blankly as my brain starts going "WTH did you just do??"
Almost. Every. Time.
