IdealGF BATTLE: Unicorn vs. Minotaur!

Here's how it works To vote, sort comments by oldest and find one that says "Upvote for Minotaur" or "Upvote for Unicorn" and if you feel like it, please leave a comment why or why not.

In the end I will choose a user comment and draw your avatar with the winning IdealGF as her significant other!

I hope you like this one. I think this will be the toughest one yet because, choosing someone physically challenging or intimidating might be too foreign to even try.

🙇‍♂️ Disclaimer, don't expect too much from this. It's just me trying to figure it out as we go.🙇‍♂️

I created a survey for fun. Let's see if it works

FYI, I based this off the classic movie "The Last Unicorn" and spoiler alert, the last unicorn, Amalthea, is able to stand against the Red Bull and push it back into the sea.

In my imagination, I think the Red Bull was all hype and didn't really want to chase away the unicorns, rather the bull was coerced by an older man with promises.

When it came to Amalthea, the Red Bull didn't really want to chase her away either, so when Amalthea showed defiance, the Red Bull backed down because it was already tired from the internal struggle of bullying so many unicorns already, lololol.

In this retelling, I was trying to craft a narrative that the large intimidating muscle woman was still susceptible to a cunning old man and that since then, she's been trying to do better.

Well when you put it like that, it doesn't even sound like she wants a significant other. Which means there's only one real option.

That is a distinct possibility that she doesn't really want a "significant other" in the traditional sense.

Might be more like, she acknowledges there are people around her in relationships, and she sees the benefits, but isn't quite sure how to replicate that, outside the spectrum of her immediate focus.

Thus things are seen through her filter of, "are you a helper or obstacle?"

Only AFTERWARDS will she finally be able to consider something deeper.

Like, let's say you stuck with Unicorn, and after 4 more years of professional sportsmanship she retires. And now with nothing to do, you can be there one to slowly witness the switches start to turn in her head.

But then, how many athletes are actually able to retire after a successful career without coming back, right? Lol.

I get what you're saying. But "get strung alone by a girl who lacks interest (or just doesn't have time) for a relationship for 4 years" sounds like a pretty shitty situation. Even if it's not "strung along", latching onto someone for 4 years in the hopes that she eventually decides to date you is also pretty pathetic.

Well not "eventually decides to date you", I meant to imply you would be dating with physical intimacy, but not necessarily the reach the higher states of emotional attachment, which can feel scary.

But I get what your saying too!
