How about instead of having to disclose you’re a world champion (at anything), you have to disclose you’re likely to write an article about your first date and publish it internationally
yeah! like then she would write an article about a guy thats so into himself he disclosed he was the champion of magic on his dating profile. Nah she's clueless
Stop making sense.
I’ve lost so much faith on journalism as a whole if anyone claims to be a writer for a publication or a journalist that’s a deal breaker anyway. They can write a story about how I spent the rest of the date (until they left anyway) mocking their career
It’s unlikely more than 4 people read her article anyway. I wouldn’t worry.
@@Dhips. yeah, I don’t think Soviet Russia would appreciate that 🤪
Imagine going on a date with a woman and she then writes an article about you?
Ah yes, the Taylor Swift method.
Ikr? Fucking legendary.
Yeah I hope she can't find anymore dates on there because of that. People have no class.
They essentially do they just only share it with their girlfriends
Even before social media and internet, the newspapers were full of kiss and tell stories
Three strikes for just having a hobby which turned into a job and a life. Literally, almost everyone's dream to pull off. John, you dodged crazy and a massive and I mean massive red flag.
Right? Like oh, you have a unique interest in a skill based game that you have gotten so good at that you have made a living out of it, have a literal fan base, and in fact are literally one of the best *in the world* at it?
Being an unsuccessful dork that wastes time on trivial hobbies is one thing. Being a magic world champion / pro is a completely different thing.
Sadly surprisingly common. When my dating profile said "game designer" as I'm a professional game designer for board and video games almost no women wrote back or wrote me. When I changed it to "interactive system designer" suddenly I got way more hits. Granted none of those women actually cared when it went further than a profile view, unlike this writer.
yep, imagine how much half of 1.3 mil is lol
What else would one expect from a modern "journalist"?
yeah, can never date a journalist/crazy person without having your life exposed.
this chick 100% googled him before hand and knew she had a viral article on her hands.
Yup. Never trust the media.
I dont know why, my guts tells me the same thing as well..
"He *Infiltrated* his way into OKCupid dates..."
That's because he can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures.
This comment is perfect. 🤣💀
Luckily you can filter out black creatures in OKCubid so that helps a lot.
Damn I hate when my dates are really good at things.
That's probably the problem; he's good at several things and she'll always be a hack social columnist.
Full disclosure: I'm a hack gambling writer and aspiring failed novelist who, like her, will never be good at anything and whose existence has no real point. I'd say that she'd be better suited to date me, instead, but I'm already spoken for, and also, haha, no.
I remember this. That article she wrote came off as really petty and rude. If you’re not into somebody, keep it to yourself and move on.
she could have said to him that she's not into him and kept it moving. nope. she bashed him in the article.
Referring to the gender difference in online dating experiences as "the online metagame" is one of the best things I've ever heard.
So to clarify she wrote a mean article. Knew she was being mean. But decided to publish it anyway. And then tried to justify her awfull behaviour and attitude by: 1) being "self-aware" about it, 2) saying it's human nature and 3) saying it was written to warn others not to make the mistakes she did.
On the money
Yup. The ol' appeal to nature/authority and then positioning herself as doing something noble. Blames him that she didn't follow her own advice and google him. Probably because she didn't think she'd run into somebody even *more* prominent in the public eye than her, a brilliant, innovative writer living in NYC.
Also name dropped the guy, could have wrote "world tournament champion of a nerdy game" and left it vague. But she smelled the clout and wanted to exploit his niche fame. So that's gross too.
Edit: her article linked to his Wikipedia page directly. Trashy.
@@MoarCheeseBirb Oh god you're right, that's even worse. That's sutch a cruel thing to do to someone who didn't do anything wrong besides just not being her type...
I'm left virtually speechless. Like obviously I have some words to say cuz I'm typing, but I just... I don't know yet. What she did just. It kind of makes me feel really dirty. I thought it was a joke at first, but and you kept going and seeming to more and more spiteful and for no real reason. Like when you see an abusive dog owner rub their dogs nose in their mistakes?
My vibe would have been totally killed If everyone was defending her in the comments. The way she wrote everything started to make me feel like "maybe I'm the crazy one for not seeing things her way?"
She knew she wasn't on his level in general and felt very insecure and it was her loss
I think you're right about that.
Totally
Yeah Jon is kind of imba OP being super conventionally successful and the Magic champion
What? I dont know what dream world you are living in, but being a world champion in an obscure card game really isnt a pro in the pro/con estimation of a date
@@johanjohannesson4746 I think you're right and wrong, yes it is not on the first date when the other person is clueless about what it can mean at all, but you can see a shift in her approach for the second date after googling it and realizing how big of a deal it was, and then couldn't get passed that realiaation throughout date 2, you can bet she was ready to be the one being so special in the room for writing small articles in on an independant website for how much she loves talking about herself, and the fact he was "so much more" clout-speaking and for something she didn't know definitely got on her nerves and she blew it big style...
I mean like, there’s nothing wrong with her having preferences, and not being interested in someone who plays a game professionally like that is perfectly valid. But holy shit that article was cringe
Yeah the only issue really is she decided to write an article like that where she also openly and proudly goes on about how "we're all shallow and petty" and like no sorry we're not.
This sounds like a hypothetical that I psych myself out with when I try dating women. “Oh what if she breaks up with me because I play Magic?”
Then its ok, because she is clearly not a match. Find someone who loves you for who you are my friend. It might take time, but you deserve to be with someone who truly loves you.
That means she ain’t the one king
I met my boyfriend on tinder, he plays magic. He introduced me to the game and it's been one of my favorite things since! You do you, I promise a lot of women aren't going to be judgemental!
If she does then you’re dodging a hell of a bullet buddy, believe me, never been so sure in my life
@@frasert8779 I hope you meant “does” and not “dies” lmao
Ironically Finkels bad dating strategy created the opportunity to have that interview and spin some good pr. He fumbled a bit in the mid game but he clutched it out
"I have a giant deck"
"And I use protection for it"
wow, I can't believe I missed that line
This comment easily wins against all of the other replies!
Ulra~pro should use that in their advertising.
I used to use card sleeves but it just doesn't feel the same. Y'know how you do...
I love the use of the term: "the online meta game" gave me a chuckle
“John Finkel, he knows a thing or two about meta games.” 🤣
@@Mattball82 Knows it well enough to have made it to the grand finals of a tournament with his friend and playtest partner playing the exact same deck card for card!
It upsets me how she thinks she's justified acting like a high school mean girl. So gross, John is a lovely guy and he dodged a serious bullet with this one.
Remember when guys do this to women we're evil, but women do this everyday
true and she just looks like someone who is a two-faced hag.
@@savagetv6460 that part. but guys usually tell their friends, but thanks to social media...both parties are doing it all over the tweeters, TH-cam, facebooks, and so on.
Is it weird that I'm more shocked about a woman not being into true crime than the whole MTG thing? :P
Right? It's well known that a lot of girls are into true crime, murders especially. There will always be outliers. But I think he made a good call on that date given the odds that he'd be matched with someone who would enjoy it.
And her not being able to play solitaire. Smh
@@roblosh8417 That's not exactly correct... while many people who are interested in the true crime genre are women, only a _small proportion_ of women are into true crime. There are far more women who have _no interest_ in true crime than those of us who do... so I doubt John booked tickets to the show without checking with her first. She was just trying to make the situation sound bad for her article.
Jon Finkel's crime is that he spent a lot of time participating in a hobby instead of being into Alyssa Bereznak. He was a partner for a small hedge fund. She was an intern for Gizmodo. He brought a whole lot more to the table than she did. She screwed up. And her name is now out there as a warning for future potential partners.
She apparently thinks a man should give up all of his friends and interests in order to be in a relationship with her. I'm pretty sure I read a letter to Ann Landers, from a woman whose husband or boyfriend was trying to separate her from her old friends and interests, and the advice columnist correctly responded that she was in an abusive relationship. Alyssa Bereznak is a likely future abuser.
Now, the best part of this article, is that shortly after it happened, Jon Finkel placed in the Top 8 of a Pro Tour and won $4,000. So that time he spent preparing paid off. What did Alyssa Bereznak do that weekend? Whatever it is that Gizmodo interns do... probably go home to a one bedroom apartment shared with two roommates, where she then cried deeply.
To be fair at the time websites like this we’re paying stupid high rates for articles like this
So, I don't necessarily disagree that she was an asshat in this situation, and that hes probably a fine dude, but... can everyone please chill out with the classism? Being an intern does not make you less of a human being. I assume most of you here are American, (given how afaik, MTG is most popular here, but take that with a grain of salt,) so I gotta ask --- do you really want to import that problem from Britain into this country? Her ultimate flaw is misanthropy, lets not emulate it!
Not trying to be aggressive or to scold anyone or put you down or anything, its just something I see a lot that I think is a little uncalled for.
First red flag: Okcupid
Met my girlfriend on OKC. I listed MTG in my profile as a hobby and made no secret about it. I think what helped is that she herself has other geek culture interests and my life isnt necessarily consumed by MTG. 3 years later and we're looking at marriage and i go to pre-releases while she stays home.
My wife and I have a deal. I can go to FMN, prereleases, ect., she gets a date night for every one I go to. I get to take my amazing wife out once or twice week and play magic on my days off? She still doesn't realize I got the better deal here.
@@MrANTICRAZY 😅 I won't tell 🤫
@@MrANTICRAZY who's she going on the dates with while you're at FNM? 😂 jk
@@gregorybarnard5593 for a time, FNM was a date night for me. always enjoyed getting paired together in draft, she had such a subtle grace in her decks.
Told my GF, I love cards game more than anything, get engage knowing that...
Jon Finkel is a God for bringing that up on the first date.
like nikachu said, you sorta gotta, if just for the reasons that Alyssa stated. people have to know what they are getting into with that level of fame.
Are you serious?
Not a god
I have this irrational fear about dating a non-nerd woman who ends up getting mad and hawking my collection for far less than it's actually worth just to spite me.
Pretty simple, date ''normal'' girls for sex only (don't bring her to your place) and date ''geeky'' girls for relationship. Know the meta and have a solid game plan and you will be alright ;)
Not irrational. I have a friend who married a girl like this. She divorced him and BURNED his cards. She wasn't even smart enough to hawk them.
that's when she gets mad at you or wants to break up with you.
Hate to break it to you, but being a nerd is not the deciding factor in whether someone (male _or_ female) is vindictive enough to sell or destroy your collection... I've driven to a friend's place in the middle of the night to take all his MTG, Warhammer & other collectables home for safe-keeping when his soon-to-be ex (who he met through MTG) threatened to burn everything out of spite. His next partner wasn't into any of it but bought him expensive cases to protect & transport his cards. So just avoid the crazy, manipulative ones & you'll be fine!
I thought I was a geek before I met this one woman. She introduced me to the world of board games (thought Monopoly sucked and thats what I thought of when I thought of board games) and she introduced me to anime (I thought it was for kids like all anime was similar to Pokemon) needless to say I married that woman and we own over 100 board games. She is awesome. 100% recommend finding a fellow geek
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.
-Oscar Wilde
Crazy how much she judged him just for playing magic, now granted I can understand that if she didnt like magic that dating someone whos whole life and social circles come from magic I can understand that not being something your interested in but still...
@@baconbenjidestroyer excuse you?
@@baconbenjidestroyer congrats you made an comment that was so cringy nickachu didn't like it.
@@baconbenjidestroyer or not, just because you said it doesnt mean you are true. I know may women who are far from being like that. That sound like something a guy who never had chance with women would say to make himself look better. (in other words, exactly what she did in her article but inverse the genders)
@@baconbenjidestroyer a level 50 sigma male over here
Normal bearded guy with a job? Pretty sure all that exist are normal guys with jobs but no beards, abnormal guys with beards and jobs, and normal bearded guys without jobs.
There are only 2 types of people in this world. Men with beards, and women.
Fun topic for a video. I do think the original article veered more into the realm of slander for the purpose of readership than a encouraging women to date people they have something in common with. Implying that Jon "infiltrated his way into OKCupid dates" and that he isn't a "normal guy" and to beware of "a guy who takes you to a one-man show based on Jeffrey Dahmer's life story" is over the top. Without that what are you left with? A bland article that no one would read because it told the story of 99% of first dates in America. People getting to know each other and finding out they aren't compatible. As a guy who is married to a non-geeky woman who wants nothing to do with my MTG hobby, I can also say it is very shallow to imply that people are only compatible if they share 100% of their interests. The article also seems to encourage people to not scratch the surface when they meet someone and just to run with their preformed judgements of something they know little about. In the end, both Jon and the writer moved on with life with minimal consequences. However, I do think this take on the article is a very generous one towards the publisher and author.
I would not have taken a date to see a movie on a killer. Maybe he looked her up too and decided to troll her?
@@b.v.9864 Sure. Probably not a good getting to know you kind of choice.
The choice of movie was a little strange, but tbf, I probably weirded out the cashier today nerding out about occultism. (Been studying it for story ideas.)
@@peppermintgal4302 that happens haha as a wiccan who also studies satanism and organized religion, it will freak out many people haha it's what I like so I'm going to bring it up at times and if they don't like it, I can respect that.
I remember when this article got out. Probably 98% of the reactions were sympathy for John, from even other female life style columnists. That was a massive critical failure. And she focused so much on Magic, and didn't notice that John was already a World Class Champion of Poker at Vegas by then. A lot sexier title, if you want to be superficial.
And she isnt even remotely attractive XD. She has the shallowness of a barbie doll with none of the looks. Like girl if you are gonna be a horrible moronic person, at least have the looks to carry you lmao.
Also wasn’t he also a hedge fund manager or something at this point?
@@mr.joesterr5359 thank you for saying exactly what I was (and most of us were) thinking she’s out her acting like a model when she looks more like the crazy cat lady😂
tbh, she slept on a mythic rare 🤣
@@chaddrusso8850 no need to insult cat ladies.
Let's face it, she was just intimidated that he was more well known than she was and she wants to date someone who would be impressed by her little internet column writing
Her loss. Beauty fades. Victory is forever
shes not even attractive. she looks super unkept, uneven face, asymmetrical features....
Of all the women I’ve dated, never once have I mentioned that I play MTG on the first date. I just let them get to know me and eventually they’ll find out that I’m a nerd, but by that time it doesn’t matter so much because that’s no longer important - it’s who I am overall that matters.
The winning strategy. Big brain
I've always told women I date (even before any date) that I game (video game) so much and that it's one of the most important things to me even more than being in a relationship. I know this "jank deck" strategy doesn't really win, but when it does, it feels good.
Big Brain play
Yeah you probably didn’t mention it because you AINT A WORLD FUCKING CHAMPION, BOY.
Same. I let them know I like card, board, and video games
Are you kidding me, if I matched with Jon Finkel I'd of started planning the wedding.
that's how you get betrayed in a Disney movie
@@jameswashere187 who says I'm not the villain though?
damn, he better get a prenup lol
This says more about her than it does about him.
I think the fact she would even write an article about a date where nothing worth mentioning even happened, says a lot about her. She's attention seeking
I can see her being weired out by whatever that one man show was that he took her on a date. But what's the big deal about him playing magic? Sounds like too much entitlement.
Has nothing to do with entitlement, it's being judgemental
Side note to everything: Be supportive of your significant other and always listen up towards what they're into and do not criticize them about their passions. ESPESSIALLY ONLINE! This is how relationships fall down into a slippery-slope of an article and create a "mean girl" mess.
I remember when this happened and at the time, just about every single MTG fan girl and female nerd-type came out of the woodwork to message him and many to ask him out on a date. And I knew several very cute ones personally who did.
One was Sara Underwood 🥰
Nah this isn't fresh at all. This kind of out and proud pettiness is more of a millennial thing and screams "Is now 30 years old and acts 16". I've been on plenty of second, third, and even fourth dates with zoomers where we talk about things like board games or genshin impact pulls. The times have changed and you either sink or swim and this woman sunk ten years ago. Also most people who have a healthy view of relationships know you don't need someone who's just a clone of yourself who likes all the same things. Lady fucked up.
She's a 4 on her best day.
It's fine if you don't find interesting the idea to date a nerd. But did you really need to write an article about it wtf
I played against Finkel once before a tournament in NYC at Neutral Ground, he whooped my ass. This was before his impressive championship era.
You played against a legend in the making
@@NikachuMTG It was known at the time that Jon was something special in the Magic community, it just wasn't known HOW special.
You can look at her face and see that she's a problem. Being 36 and having gone on countless dates I can assess the troubled ones at a glance.
Hit the wall already.
You say this sounds fresh? In my opinion nowadays being nerd isn't shunned upon as before. For me it sounds more like article from 2003
Totally. It’s cool to be a “nerd” nowadays lol
Yeah really it came off as out of touch. Like a 90s sitcom joke. In fact I just commented above how it is like Elaine dating The Whiz. Nobody can beat him!
Like who gives a shit lmao
Told my girlfriend in 2010 that I won many YuGiOh tournaments and showed her all the playmats I won on our third date, gave her one to use as a mouse pad. Married with a kid now. Lol why would anyone not be proud of winning.
"Why would I want to be with a person whose idea of a good time is to shit on everything I love?" random quote that stuck with me from a movie whose name I have forgotten.
"where did all good men go?" My answer to this question is "good men date good women" it's that simple
A man who is confident in his skills and developed a strong social circle based on trust and clear boundaries?
Lawd No!
I have to say if anything she read online would have said, Magic champion makes him a billionaire she would have fallen to her knees
It is widely known that a genius like John often has problems finding a woman that is a good match, often it’s difficult for the girl to relate and follow the train of thought…. She didn’t have to be mean about it. I think the focus on magic distracts from the fact that John is basically a badass special human and it takes a badass special girl to have the right chemistry.
You don't have to be an MTG World champion to make a girl regret the date... Being a MTG player in general is usual enough.
*Trust me I know*
Amen brother...i know that as well.
Oof
Most women don't care if you're an mtg player. If you're regularly turned down, there's probably something else going on.
@@Release_the_Bees Like what? I mean I can *tapp* all night, without any *haste* ofc.
@@Release_the_Bees Nah tbh most women are actually quite shallow amd disregard guys based on silly stuff like that
My wife didn't even have an idea but when it came out she joined me. Some people are just ridiculously shallow.
Congratulation for escaping the OKCupid-hamster wheel. We magic players know the rules.
Common sense: dating profile of woman with her cat (or dog). Alarm bells ring 😂
Yeah. It's a big red flag. The dog photos in girls profiles especially and the whole "I'll love your dog more than you." weirdness. We get it, your personality is dogs. Or dogs in bed in their profile photos. I'm not sharing my bed with a dog. Bizarre and suss to the max.
I prefer to do the dirty after trapping my dog in my bedroom and forcing him to watch to assert dominance
@@youbluethatone1017 LMAO!
Man Jon dodged a bullet with that one. My girlfriend is way hotter, plays magic, and isn’t shallow af. There’s someone out there for everyone.
I think John saving his blue mana to cancel that spell was a pro-gamer move.
Even made 'miss me with that drama' poetic with his response.
Check it out. First time I asked my fiance if she knew anything about Magic, she straight up looked at me and said, "Please tell me you don't play that stupid game...". For my birthday she handed me $200 and told me that I wasn't allowed to spend it on anything but Magic cards.
What a plot twist
@@NikachuMTG It was an amazing birthday. Ended up pulling a Gisa and Geralf to replace the one I had that was destroyed in a storage unit a few years back.
One thing I find weird about this whole incident is that it happened to Jon Finkel specifically. He wasn't even a pro at the time and has a successful career outside of Magic.
Whats weird about it? Also, he won the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, pretty sure that qualifies him as a pro
Not a fan of magic, but couldn't go without praising you for providing the links to original articles. Way to go!
Online dating isn't too bad my wife and I owe our years of being together to online dating. Also this woman has something wrong with her. Nerds are loyal, fun, and generally easier to talk to.
She only went on a date with him so she could write an article about him 👀🤦♂️🙅♂️ he dodged a huge bullet w this one
Sounds like he dodged a bullet 🤷♂️
I once dated a woman who didn't like things like mtg and punkrock because it's a "men thing" and i just thought/said ... yeah... and you're part of that problem... thx
(ok... i said it more polite... but the message was clear)
If a man writes an article like this he is a monster.
She is still single and annoying.
The judging doesn't bother me. The rejection doesn't bother me. What does bother me is her rudimentary writing skills.
He probably didn't read the online dating section in Next Level Magic.
I brought my girlfriend to a magic tournament where she suffered through waiting a couple of hours. She told me afterward it wasn’t her thing, but she enjoyed spending time with me. I married that woman. Avoid the mean girls, gentlemen.
I'll try to match my date's level of nerdiness early on. Definitely not going to lead with "So yeah, I went Nationals for Yugioh. Twice," or "I'm a mythic raider in World Of Warcraft." But if she's into gaming, I'll just drop that I play, then build up if she's into more intense stuff than just "Yeah, I play a couple of mobile games when I'm on break at work to pass the time." I'm more likely to lead with being a musician since I wear that on my sleeve a lot more.
But then again, the nerdy Sapphic women in my area tend to be in their early 20s (way younger than I am) and the women my age are more into building stuff or camping/fishing. *sad nerdy lesbian noises*
Yeah, you definitely need to feel things out first before dropping “I’ve been playing MTG since 1995”, or “I’m a huge pro wrestling fan” 😆 I’ve been pretty lucky to find relationships with people who are not judgmental about that kind of stuff. I’m sure you’ll find someone cool too :)
Bah, just whip out a duel disk on the first date, you don't wanna waste your time on a chump that's just gonna end up in the shadow realm :P
How high is her stack of dating now. Granted that was 11 years ago, but I can see the stack of counter spells growing every year
Dude dodged a bullet. Dating that woman further would have been a giant L.
The weirdest part was the one man play of Jeffery. Not a good first date that’s like date thirty when you’ve ran out of things to do
I have my own history (tho not romantic lol), it was summer 1995, went on a two-month vacation on a small beach. I brought my Magic decks and collection with me. I went to a bar, ordered a milkshake, I was alone and started organizing my cards at the table. To my surprise, the owner of the bar went to talk with me and said he also played Magic. We started playing Magic in one of his bar tables every day, and the neighborhood and bar patrons who didn't have any idea what was Magic started watching us around the table. The lifeguard of the beach also had magic decks and became an opponent too lol. The crowd definitely thought it was too nerdy at first, but after a few days more people also got interested in the game and bought starter and booster packs to play. It started with 3 people playing the game and when my vacation was over, it was 20+ people playing Magic at that bar. It was fantastic. I stopped playing in 2001 but I have a lot of good memories thanks to this game.
Wow, that's some amazing organic growth!
Wow, she wrote a slander article about a guy she met from okcupid, criticizing him for having interests she doesn't have.
In my early 20s, I dated a girl who found my MTG collection under my bed. I came into my room as she was upside on my bed looking at my decks. She asked me what they were.
I told her all about it. Told her all about FNM. Totally geeked out about the whole thing.
Her response: That’s pretty cool. I really think the art is cool.
[end of story]
Well, the art is what also made me first fascinated with MTG. Even now, I'm a sucker for cool land arts.
So I'm assuming after that incident, that's the last time you saw each other?
@@7swordquanta459 lol. Nah we dated for awhile.
To be fair, the one-man Jeffrey Dahmer show is a baaaad move. But most people don’t judge much about being a successful gamer nowadays
Yeah Jeffery Dahmer doesn't scream romance honestly
Also, wasn't that article written in 2011? There has been over 10 years for the environment to change and a new generation of decent gamer-loving people to come out.
The fact that she deemed playing Magic as 3 strikes all by itself, while on a date with a borderline millionaire hedge fund manager, minor celebrity, and world champion...
She got crazy hate for that. Probably had to disappear on social media for a while. And a lot of players complaining to Gizmodo about hiring anti-geek writers for a geek magazine.
How insecure about yourself do you have to be that someone dedicating themself to a hobby you dont know anything about makes you this upset? Like she wrote a pretty long article just to say "I dont understand that humans are different from each other and think everyone should be like me" repeatedly.
"I can tell you the results aren't so bad" Flashes Ring*. Damn it your humor just hits right. I'm not even two minutes in my guy..
You should always vet your dates to make sure they aren't journalists. 90% of them are like this lady.
What you don't want to be the topic of a mocking article?
No it's because by virtue of being a journalist you know they're going to be a bad person.
Her next date was with a Taxidermist. They are now married.
Nikachu is way funnier than I first gave him credit for, damn.
Like, he obviously didn't include it in his profile because he didn't feel the need to make it the focus of his dating life. If you end up on a date with with an olympic athlete, you're dating the person not the medals. That's some vapid high school bullshit to try to nerd-shame someone on that level, and I'm glad it backfired.
Well, she does have a cat in one of her pictures….
My wife and I met on OKCupid, but I kept the DnD hobby a secret until the 3rd date! ;) Also, she now plays MTG with me and our friends.
Not an attack my ass. She called him creepy countless times. She did it for the clout, and got exactly what she wanted.
damn, how should we ever stand a chance if a world champion even gets turned down making a 6-7 digit income? The first date was a bit weird though, wouldnt take a girl on first date to a one man show of that topic that he picked.
Wow. She tried to make Magic players look bad, but she just made all writers look bad.
The fact that she didn't think being a Magic world champion is cool is such a deal breaker
Great video my friend.
Completely uncharted territory and I enjoy where you have been going.
And I'll continue into completely uncharted territory
If i was in that position id be f*@#ing honored to meet John, let alone date
Some of you got the point. She wrote an article she KNEW was mean admitted it was mean, and STILL published it. How stupid can you get? WHY in the world would you think you were better than someone else who was a WORLD CHAMPION in their chosen field? What if it was a world-champion knitter? World Champion Chef? When you have the skill at something to be WORLD Champion at it (8 BILLION people) you are amazing. Regardless of what it is, you are amazing.
Is it wrong that I'm just binge watching Nikachu? Very quickly becoming one of my favorite content creators
I would binge watch me.
@@NikachuMTG woah woah.. i like you man, but not quite ready to go that far...
@@NikachuMTG although to be fair... I would also let Alyssa Bereznak do stuff to me
"She's pretty cute." No... no, she isn't. She's also quite shallow.
Rapidly becoming my favorite TH-cam channel…not just M:TG channel. Brilliantly done.
Thanks!
I mean. I didn't think he did that bad except for the Jeffrey Dahmer thing. Yikes. She makes some points lol
Funny because me and my Mrs would love that.
I like competing in modern tournaments, dirt bike races, and hand gun competitions. My wife could not care less about any of these activities, she would rather be reading, writing, or going for a long hike and I believe that there is no woman more perfect for me in this world. This woman from the video could be going on “bad” tinder dates for the rest of her life trying to find “the one”. The moral of the story is, stop trying to date yourself. Hobbies don’t equal compatibility.
This reminds me of the time John Boyega went on a date and was asked what he did for a living.
His response was pointing to a Star Wars poster nearby.
World's biggest L. Imagine being an average looking girl dating an average or slightly above WEALTHY guy who's not likely to cheat on her because he's too busy preparing for a magic tournament, working a part time job, and is with her. 🙄
“But it was a cautionary tale…”. What’s the caution about then?
1) She’s just mildly cute. Her job is not superior.
2) Don’t date a journalist. She’d write an article about you after you break up.
Dont try to get a girlfriend when she is not into your hobby and you cant live without it. She will never understand you and you will find yourself often in the same weird situation that you must make choices: Ohhhh and she will be hurt if you are not choosing her.
That kind of relationship depends on very limited circumstances and dont have any future. A gamer should meet a gamergirl, a metalhead should be together with a sweet metalgirl. The live is too short that people trying change their partners. Dont do it, even if you are find them attractive or have feelings, in a longterm relationship are such differences a bad sign. If you dont fit, then let it be.
I really appreciate your videos. The time and effort you put into the depth of each subject, the way you deliver the material. From one aspiring content creator to an established one, thank you for the inspiration. You just do a great job and I know how difficult it is to hit the mark. Bravo sir.
Glad you like them! But I'm still aspiring myself :) Good luck on your videos!
