Found this question on an Instagram reel as dating advice for girls if they don't know what to talk about and that men have a lot of opinions about this. Let's see if she's right.

When thinking of each, if it was in a world where life is good and I'm living in the picturesque lifestyle that comes to mind for each one, then probably a Pirate.

Sailing the open seas is the picture that comes to mind and it's the most "romantic" to me.

Pirates wiped their asses after a shit with a rope. The same rope was used by the entire crew and never switched. I would not enjoy being a pirate. Not at all.

[-] redballooon@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Was that restricted to pirates, or just the way it was done on these ships?

pirates supported same-sex marriage, so I’ll go with that 🏳️‍🌈

All would actually suck if these are the realistic versions, but Cowboy would suck the least, at least as a violence-averse person (if you're not violence-averse I understand why you'd pick Samurai.)

Movie versions, I'd still go Cowboy. I'd get stir crazy on a boat and I don't like answering to people like Samurai need to.

Samurai, during the heydays of the shogunate.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I enjoy camping and am a decent shot, so I guess I'd go with cowboy. Plus, lassos look fun!

[-] lumberjacked@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Can confirm. Lassos are fun.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well shit, now I want to get a lasso...

[-] lumberjacked@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

In high school I worked on a ranch. On a couple of occasions I got to round up cattle on horseback. My friends were competitive ropers and I tried it a couple of times. I couldn't rope anything.

Honestly, the most fun I've ever had at a job though there's no way I would spend all day on a hot horse with my 30 something body.

From what I like the most? Defebatly pirate, cause I could be another pirate Queen and that sounds dope

From whats the least icky one? Samurai after it became a social status and a symbol of nobility with the occasional murdering

[-] sculd@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Samurai gets paid by the fedual lord. Easy choice.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I want to be a samurai. I wanted to be one since I was a kid, and I want to be one even more after having read Hagakure. I even try to live up to a lot of the same ideals Yamamoto Tsunetomo laid out in the book about what it meant to be samurai. It's almost the same idea as medieval chivalry; but more intense and without the religious overtones.

[-] loffiz@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Fictionally, a samurai. But for real, I guess cowboy is the most sane option...

[-] Kraivo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not even considering being a pirate makes me wonder what you were thinking about? Like being in a fictional world is most awesome thing that can happen to you ever. But also for real their life isn't that bad as being scalped alive

A cowboy. I was born in the western US and spent some of my young life on a cattle ranch. It's hard work and at the end of the day, there's a sense of accomplishment.

Not interested in being a pirate, stealing isn't my thing. I don't like the idea of slicing and dicing people, so samurai wouldn't work for me either.

[-] Kissaki@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Be would mean now and here? Or the and there (where they existed)?

[-] Lewistrick@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Your choice :)

[-] anteaters@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Pirate is definitely out - I don't really care to be surrounded by guys 24/7 on a crowded and dirty ship. Samurai maybe but I'd go with "Cowboy". Has the best chance for a somewhat modern life and many chances to meet women...

someone’s got a case of the not-gays...

Samurai. Not quite upper-class but a lot better social standing and conditions than the other two.

[-] Scooter411@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

All three - pirate against capitalism, cowboy against society, and samurai because their swords are awesome and they bathe.
