It actually did. She was blown away the first time she me draw, then again we were like 15. But I got a lot better and she loved me for it. Dated for a few years but my art skills definitely helped seal the deal.

>>2751455
That's really cute. Maybe the problem was that I drew them on my own without them posing for it. But they were just little doodles, not full on "draw me like your French girls" portraits or anything.

Slightly unrelated, sometimes I worry about >>2751464 too. Specifically if I date a guy who's also an artist and whether that would interfere with things. It seems to me many artists are very competitive, I can't help wondering if either one of us being more skilled than the other would cause jealousy? I only know one artist couple but they seem to be of equal skill and have literally the same job so I think it works.

>> No.2752105

yeah,

I once spray painting the side of the roof, of one of the tallest building in my city that we should start over. (I was friendzoned for years, wanted to date, always jealous of each other but never timed up) now we have been dating for almost 4 years, probably gonna propose soon.

He's a confident person but gets shy when I stare him down that way even though he's wearing clothes, it confuses me. I would love to get him when he's wearing nothing but that's not happening unless he's passed out drunk and he's always face down when he's drunk.

I've always wondered what being with another artist would be like too, might be really dramatic or really lovely.

My confidence in the arts made me get laid for the first time. Too bad she didn't like me that much and I ended up going depressed.

Also I always find girls who are worse than me in arts and this makes me lose interest in them.

I was fairly popular before I started art, now I rarely go out and hence don't meet any new girls. Wouldn't say art cockblocked me though, it's my choice and I'd rather spend my time grabbing a pencil than grabbing pussies.

i dont think it helped me too much, but it did give me the cute nerd vibe, and I think he was used to the typical vapid 20 something year old.

have a very masculine boyfriend with a good mix of alpha and beta traits who is delicious.want to marry. very buff and manly hng

would personally never date an artist. the average one is super beta and scrawny (work out guys, this is how you get laid). it's also kind of a turn off if they're in the same career as me

Also weird things usually happen and I've seen it ruin some friend's careers.I think it can work if both people are on the same page. It works with my friend (who is very successful) and her bf, but she's the dominant one in the relationship and I don't want that.

Drawing her as a fantasy character and writing some interactive stories turned my 10/10 childhood best friend into my girlfriend of 5 years, we only split up because she went to university overseas.

Coincidentially keeping the character around for a serious project ruined another relationship because that girl was mad jelly of a fictional character.

>> No.2753131

Yes, but indirectly as I met her at art school.

>> No.2753135

no, she has a bf :( still it gives me another source of motivation to git gud enough to steal his grill

>> No.2753193

>>2752796
It sounds good in theory. I would definitely rather have a bf who was as driven in his art than not driven at all, but knowing myself I think it could only work if we weren't competing in any way. It's one of my faults that I tend to take competition a little too much to heart.
>>2753003
I think I would love a guy who gets shy and uncomfortable when I stare at him, it'd be so cute. Maybe I'm just weird. But yeah dating an artist could be good. On one hand you'd have someone who understands what you do and maybe someone to collab with. On the other though artists can be kind of all over the map emotionally, I know I am personally. That could definitely kick up some huge drama at times. And I was wrong before I know another artist couple and they seem to work well together because they each do different branches of art that they can combine like an assembly line so they're always making projects together. That'd be a good dynamic.

> I can't help wondering if either one of us being more skilled than the other would cause jealousy?

Mature and well adjusted people will rationalise that being envious of your partner for being better than you at a skill you can also improve at is silly. Someone who feels envy over that is likely to do so in other things as well so being an artist is not part of the problem.

Now for some anecodatal experiences.
My girlfriend is an artist too and we live together, our work is not comparable because we are both our own people and persue different goals despite being in the same career.

That's a good point actually. I have a group of friends I draw with semi-regularly and I love that. We do compete a little but it's all in friendly competition to get each other to improve and stay motivated. That's something I would never want to give up. I've thought a couple of times about maybe trying to date someone from that group but it's probably better not to fuck up the circle. If anything went wrong in the relationship and I felt like I couldn't hang out with them anymore that'd fuck my shit right up.

For women, men go from cute little toy at ages 0-12, to akward shit that needs guidance at 13-16, to potential rapist unless it's Chad or Tyrone and I'm being a slut at 17-29, to interesting stranger/atm beta provider at 30+.

Focus on bettering yourself and unless you're a "my wife's son" or supreme gentleman type, you'll get the attention you desserve in the near future.
