Mac Gives Dating Advice

[ooc: Mac's opt-out post, as this thread will undoubtedly contain misogyny, alcoholism, homophobia, etc, is here.]

So it’s come to this. Some of you have reached out to me, and I don’t blame you, for dating advice. I am, after all, very experienced in scoring with women, and they usually find me pretty irresistible as well, as the walk-in clinic can attest.

Anyways. I used to have a system called the “M.A.C.”, a.k.a. “Move in After Completion”, where I’d help my buddy seduce a chick by pretending to be the booksmart friend and then when he ghosted her, I’d go comfort-bang her, but it turns out that that got really old after a while because they’d like, cry all the time, and women are already gross and whiny enough before they’re crying, and also she’s expect you to read her poetry or something and that’s really gay. So I dropped that one. I guess I recommend it if you’re really into getting snot all over your shoulder and pretending you give a ████, but that’s a weird kink, bro.

There’s also one I’m pretty sure works, which is breaking and entering into someone’s house to make sure they know that you’ve scoped out the weaknesses in their security system and thus, are a more securer person than whatever idiot originally installed it. That demonstrates your mastery of protecting them. If you do it in the middle of the night, and you don’t wake them up, you can use that time in the morning to do some pushups or practice your karate or something so that when they come downstairs and see you, their first thought is holy ████, that dude is RIPPED, and I’m going to let him into my body’s ████ areas immediately.

Finally, the best dating advice I can give is to lie. Lie about everything. The more you lie, the more mysterious you are. If you lie, for example, about being a secret agent fighting the KGB, and they start to ask you what that’s like, you can look at them very seriously and go [putting on a serious, dark, movie-style voice] “I could tell you but I’d have to kill you” and they’ll just swoon in mystery. You don’t even have to lie about cool stuff. You can pretend you have a car and then say [putting on a serious, dark, movie-style voice again] “I could tell you but I’d have to kill you” and they’re going to assume you drive a flying Lambo for the mob that goes to space or something, and there is nothing, nothing, nothing sexier than having sex with someone you don’t trust and know nothing about who says he’s gonna kill you.

Anyway, apply literally any of these, and you losers will be swimming in ████ by sundown.

[Finally jumps in here, but only after a few minutes spent losing his shit while Brand glared at his comm.]

You do realize you're sharing a living space with robots, aliens, werewolves, and a giant rabbit? Along with who knows what else?

In how ridiculously terrible all this advice is. Seriously, I know a guy who's idea of flirtin' is spoutin' out conspiracy theories, and even he ain't this hopeless.

"Supposably" isn't actually a word.

This may come as somethin' of a surprise, but most folks manage to go their entire lives without gettin' stuck with even one.

I do not share your superstitions. And I will not be proselytized to. Good day, Mac. I hope when we speak again you are more understanding of the nature of our conversations.

Astartes do not generally indulge in sweets. Protein blocks and vegetable matter are generally all we need to function, along with water. When we celebrate, we enjoy wine. Sometimes we have meats when we have private affairs amongst ourselves. I've seen our primarchs eat fruit on occasion. Sanguinius was fond of it.

Glad we got that [BEEP] sorted out. [BEEP].

I mean, sex ed isn't great. Mostly thanks to a lot of conservative and moderate governments trying to appease the religious right despite what all the research says actually works...

[Sam visibly stops himself before he can go on a rant. Because that's not what Brand is talking about. Not really.]

That said. Mac's opinions are...pretty much entirely his own. Thank God for small favors.

In general, that statement is not wrong.

In practice, and especially here? Does not apply.

So what I'm getting here is that this Sanguinius guy is the only one of you who's not a total weirdo.

[tmw you're kinda right, just for the wrong reason]

You intimately acquainted with danger? Before you got here?

Cause it sounds like you just play dress up.

[This should be extremely frustrating, but he's getting to watch Brand lose his shit right now so it just wraps back around to hilarity.]

So is it okay if I sleep with someone? Just to be clear.

[Patiently, like he's talking to his five year old:]

What do you think?
