The only thing that really matters in this situation, assuming you don't have obvious CP or porn games on your desktop, is your confidence. If you're openly into vidya / anime shit and confident about it and still a decently manly guy, women don't give a shit and may even be intrigued to explore those products too.

If you're shy about it, hiding it, spilling spaghetti everywhere, blushing, and generally acting like a girl or an incel, then the woman will get "the ick" and be turned off.

I've had much better success just telling my dates what we're watching than having them pick from what's streaming
Or at least just give em a genre to pick from.
When I eventually met my wife I knew I had a good one because I picked a movie then she was like
>oh that reminds me of midnight in the garden of good and evil
Which sucked but at least that meant movie night became a dialogue instead of mindless scrolling or just me picking a few movies

You don't need tailscale to stream remotely with Plex, you do need it for jellyfin though

Why use HDMI cables when you can just duplicate the screen from the laptop/pc?
>>
You guys always meme about the hdmi cable but out of my friend group, the one who is married with kids is the college professor who runs a 60tb plex server and shares it with everyone. Sure a few times it might have an issue here or there but shit, he even setup a way for us to request movies and the dam thing will go out and snag them. Works 99% of the time. Granted he married a polish woman who got her green card out of it but at least for now they seem genuinely in love + a baby boy.

Why would you ever not have the hdmi hooked up already? And you should always plan ahead and have the latest foid slop and old reliables like the Notebook pre-downloaded.

I actually do remember a gf being upset with me because I had downloaded a movie she wanted to see instead of taking her to the theater to see it. It was some rom com with Anne Hathaway I think. Huh. I never did tell her Anne reminded me of an ex. Shoulda done that just to annoy her even more. We did a bit of Moonlighting.

on the one hand i invited a girl i like to my plex server and she was pretty happy about it. on the other hand she ended up saying she has no romantic feelings for her and told me to stop contacting her. so no women don't care if you pirate or use plex/jellyfin but also im still alone :(

>I dont have netflix, let me connect my HDMI
Why would I say it like this? HDMI is just a cable. My DVR connects to my TV with HDMI. So does my Blu-ray player. Any number of things could be on the other end of the HDMI cable.
>stumble behind the tv with a flashlight trying to hook up an HDMI cable
Why would it be unplugged? You know literally all TVs can toggle input remotely, and have had this capability for the last 30+ years, right?
>boot pc up
Why would it be off in the first place?
>it was in rest state, instantly logs in and shows browser open with 17 porn tabs
If it was in a rest state, why did you boot it up? Do you not know what "boot up" means? It's already booted. I also don't browse porn in my living room, or leave tabs open if I'm not actively using them.
>open up piratebay
I have never once used piratebay to torrent a movie, in the more than 20 years I have been pirating movies.
>plastered with porn ads
I haven't seen an internet ad in 15 years. The wonders of simply installing a good adblocker on every browser I use, something beyond the capabilities of 90% of people, apparently.

Buying a big ass flat screen is just a man thing.
Guy college apartments have a huge ass tv
Girl college apartments have a tv they got for free
Even if the girls are rich and their dads pay for everything I have noticed this trend.
Like I literally saw enormous CRTs with round glass screens in 2015 when I was in college in the apartmentss and houses of girls with wealthy families and then my roommate from honduras sells weed and has a 60" flatscreen

I don't even own a television. Watch everything on my PC with headphones on. If I ever get a girl over to my cool apartment I won't be able to show her a movie at all. But there's really nowhere to put one without rearranging the whole room, moving furniture and paintings and shit. Maybe I could put a screen in my bedroom or something instead.
