You: So have you done any volunteering?

Stranger: Even there are lots of socities who take parts to reduce poverty

Stranger: Not yet

Stranger: But i love to

You: Well I can't. I don't live there.

You: All I can do is support transparent charities, really

Stranger: Hey i have question

Stranger: I dont know why

Stranger: Everyone have wrong perception abou india

Stranger: That is

Stranger: India is poor, and suffering from poverty

Stranger: But the fact is

You: There is a huge wealth divide.

Stranger: Where??

You: In India

Stranger: Ohh

You: Developed countries also don't have slums:

You: Dharavi Slum Mumbai.
Bhalswa Slum Delhi.
Nochikuppam Slum Chennai.
Basanti Slum Kolkata.
Rajendra Nagar Slum Bangalore.
Indiramma Nagar Hyderabad.
Saroj Nagar Slum Nagpur.
Mehbullahpur Slum Lucknow.

Stranger: How did you know about that divide

You: Idk, common knowledge

Stranger: Ohh really

You: My perception from talking with Indians on Omegle, is that most think it's the person's personal choice to be in poverty

You: and that we should assume that for everyone

You: and leave it be.

You: I don't make such assumptions.

Stranger: But most of them do

Stranger: Anyways

You: Although, I don't know any charities in India. The ones I know are in Africa.

Stranger: Leave it,

Stranger: Ohh really in africa

You: Yes?

You: Against Malaria Foundation is one.

Stranger: Tell me about us lifestyle

Stranger: Ohh nice

You: Um, that's not really what I meant

You: But good to know

You: I mean, everyone has tastes and preferences

Stranger: what do you mean by difference?

Stranger: we should approach it philosophically

Stranger: there's the essential qualities of being human

Womenizer

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

You both like politics, philosophy, and debate.

You: Ya

Stranger: Not on the quest for puss.

You: Various topics

You: What do/did you study?

Stranger: I graduated last year in Politics.

Stranger: You?

You: What are you doing with it?

You: electrical engineering

Stranger: Nothing. It's useless content-wise except it looks superfically good on paper which helps enhance my resume.

You: I mean, what work are you applying for/have?

Stranger: Admin work.

Stranger: In pen pushing bureaucracies.

Stranger: But at the moment I am unemployed out of choice.

You: Fascinating

You: of

Stranger: Sell, sell, sell.

Stranger: What are you passionate about?

You: Eh, I'll get around to it some decade.

You: I'm passionate about lessening absolute poverty, primarily.

You: I'm also all about being veg*an

Stranger: Two particular subjects about which I happen to share an interest.

Stranger: I actually wrote a 12 000 word thesis in my final year about redesigning the monetary system.

You: Where are you from?

Stranger: A proposal to shift away from a debt-based system which is at the root of poverty and exploitation.

Stranger: UK.

You: US

Stranger: As for veganism, I am very empathetic to the cause.

Stranger: Although I must question a few things.

You: Questioning and skepticism is good

Stranger: Nothing is sacred. Question everything.

Stranger: Do you want to play a game?

You: What game?

Stranger: It's called 21.

Stranger: So we go back and forth. In a sequence of anywhere between 1 and 3 numbers. First one to reach 21 loses.

Stranger: Shall I kick it off?

You: Yes

Stranger: 1 2 3

You: 1 2 3

Stranger: No, you have to continue onward.

You: um, ok

You: 18 19 20

You: Obviously

Stranger: Okay, can you do something for me?

You: Just ask it

You: Stranger: 10 11

Stranger: What makes you think so?

You: You ended on an odd number.

Stranger: Oh.

Stranger: That's ... odd.

Stranger: ;)

Stranger: I'm a cheeky bastard, aren't I.

You: A bit

Stranger: Ahahaha.

You: Ha

Stranger: Oh lollers.

Stranger: Play again?

Stranger: This time I win?

Stranger: I'm sure you can see a pattern by now.

Stranger: 4

You: I already lost.

Stranger: I've unloaded so much can of whoop ass that he's woken up to the algorithm.

Stranger: Bravo.

You: I just see it as reaching a certain number first

Stranger: Try again?

You: Why not

Stranger: I go?

You: Yes

You: 15 16

Stranger: 17

You: 18 19 20

Stranger: 21

Stranger: Ta da.

Stranger: So now you've noticed that it goes in a sequence of 4

Stranger: This is the pattern.

You: Ah, ok

Stranger: So, now, if I go first I will lose due to what you have learned.

Stranger: See?

You: Oh, yes

Stranger: That's why it's always best to let the opponent go first, to give the illusion that they hold power.

You: That's cool

Stranger: Isn't it just.

Stranger: I'm going to use this tactic on girls while I'm out day gaming.

Stranger: I'll get a couple of makeouts, I'm sure.

You: I had to look up

You: day gaming

You: Never heard of that before

You: I know a funny pickup line when you encounter a girl who

You: says she has a boyfriend

Stranger: What's that?

You: → "That's fine, I have a math test on Monday" or whenever

You: [...she looks confused]

You: "Ohhhhhh, I thought we were listing things we were going to cheat on."

Stranger: Yeah, that's too gimmicky and over elaborate for my taste.

You: I've had good luck with it

Stranger: I prefer, "For how long have you had this problem?"

You: and?

Stranger: Or, "I'm not auditioning for the role."

Stranger: It's short, sweet and to the point.

You: Oh, for that instance

You: I suppose

You: A bit serious tho

Stranger: Well, I cold approach girls on the street to meet, attract and seduce,

Stranger: So I'm not her dancing monkey.

You: Haa

Stranger: A good pickup line I will use is the following:

Stranger: "You seem like the type of girl who likes to sleep."

Stranger: "Do you like sleeping?"

Stranger: She will eventually say, "yes, sure..."

Stranger: And I will reply, "Oh cool, me too actually, I think we should do it together sometime."

You: So you've used that before?

Stranger: "I will..."

Stranger: Future tense.

You: Ok

You: Seems like a slap in the face 'bout to happen

Stranger: Go bold or go home.

Stranger: It's not offensive.

You: ...I suppose a dumb girl would fall for it

Stranger: It's a double entendre.

You: you know, not being able to predict it

Stranger: No, an intelligent girl would understand its double meaning. It would make it easy to distinguish between the girls who are down and those who are time wasters.

You: ya, but...

You: I haven't found most girls being *that* DTF

Stranger: Well, I care not for their intelligence unless they're butt ugly.

Stranger: Well, I doubt you actively approach girls.

Stranger: If at all.

You: Ogh, ouch

Stranger: It's not shameful to admit that it's true.

You: It's not.

Stranger: The first step is to acknowledge the problem.

Stranger: Second step is to tackle it.

Stranger: But I imagine you're afraid.

You: Too far along the same assumption I'm afraid

Stranger: What will you do about it?

You: "It's" not a problem
