I'm tired of yall playing around like newbies when your log hours say you should be a legendary.
But today is your lucky day. Let's get crackin'.
So, most of yall are out here running your character around using a lvl 1 fit trying to pick up girls flashing their lvl 150 DLC pack. And I need you to stop.
You got to look into armour upgrades, character stat adjustments, avatar changes, and acquiring new skills.
Okay? Let me break it down:
1.) ARMOUR UPGRADES
Wearing basketball shorts and a hoodie to a date is like a Tank wearing light armour lvl 5 peasant rags to a boss fight. No go. Instant kill.
Find something classy and use the correct style to correlate to the area you are entering. Chill drinks and casual lunch? Thats a level 50 area, go for mid-tier casual like collared shirt and clean pants (roll up the sleeves for +5 bonus charisma). Unlocked fancy dinner? Thats a lvl 80, you need a suit (lose the tie).
Always shoot for armour that is a slightly higher level than the area you are entering in order to complete your quests more easily.
2.) STATS ADJUSTMENTS
You're trying to match with a girl who's endurance, charisma, and perception stats are off the charts while you're just skipping around with the same numbers you walked into the tutorial with?? You dumb?? She's been putting in the hours on side quests to upgrade those stats, and better herself, so you gotta match her.
This means work on personality traits like active listening, caring nature, joyful and humorous conversation.
This also means habits such as good hygiene, handling money well, having life goals and passions. ALL these go into those stats my dude. And yes, its a tall order, but if you want to be able to duel a pro, you gotta become a pro yourself.
HIDDEN TIP: Dont forget to use your "gift" items in your bag. Regular usage will increase your bond, BUT remember, sentimental gifts have a much higher reward than generic gifts. So lean more towards love letters, her favorite flowers (ask her to unlock this info) and other person-specific gifts.
3.) AVATAR CHANGES
In this game certain physical characteristics such as height, facial structure, and natural hair color are not available for changes(you and me both be crying on this one). HOWEVER, characteristics such as physical build, hairstyle, and overall hygiene ARE available to ALL users at no extra cost. (You get me?)
Physical Health is always a must, so remember invest time and effort in order to increase your stamina. (Youll need it later) this feature not only affects aesthetics but performance in certain tasks...
Hairstyles are tricky as they hold hidden buffs and debuffs unique to each user. Try out new styles to unlock extra charisma (i know some of yall walking around with the same cut since 6th grade.)
HIDDEN TIP: Hygiene does a HUGE bonus to your charisma, though few dudes seem to grasp this concept. Get yo dirty ass in the shower and wash ya clothes.
4.) NEW SKILLS
I can guarantee you your girl has a PLETHORA of hidden skills, so make sure to develop your own too (dont be a dull dude standing next to wonder women, okay?) Start playing a sport, go hiking, take online classes and certifications, learn to dance, etc.
GET SOME HOBBIES! HAVE SOME DREAMS! SHOW SOME INTEREST IN YOUR OWN LIFE FOR GOSH SAKE
Ahem... anyways.
You also get +10 perception for each time you show interest in her skills. So dont forget to implement that easy one.

HIDDEN NOTE: The Importance of Side-Questing
(And by side-questing, I mean hanging out with each other and doing fun stuff to just get to know each other. i.e. MAKE YO GIRL YA FRIEND AND ACTUALLY HAVE FUN YOU DUMBIES)
If you drive straight through the main quest line, you WILL burn out and get stuck pretty darn quick.
Some of yall out here Leroy Jenkins -ing this game and its a total turnoff.
The best part of this game is the side questing. DONT OVERLOOK IT.

A girl who is sick of men falling short of their potential.
(Goodluck dudes, go forth and conquer)
