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.
I’m a man and don’t have strong opinions about this, so count this as one vote against it.
Lol I was thinking the same, neither sounded really appealing to me but it’s not like I’d start a fight over it.
I need an option that includes air conditioning.
All right, I’ll throw hedge fund manager in there.
Ninja. They are so good at hiding that you probably don’t even see it as one of the options.

Pirate by a mile, I don’t know why just the freedom or the fact I really enjoyed the Black Flag game.
Those fuckin Sea Shanties, bruh.
Yarr!
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…
I give up my space on the ship for someone who can appreciate the company

Cowboys still exist today, and they have running water, medical care, etc. so if we are talking modern cowboy I’ll go with that. But otherwise yeah I bet samurai had the best amenities.
They’re also the only one with systematic mind/body training instead of just winging it.
¿Porque no los tres?
Can I be Hasekura Tsunenaga, the samurai who went to Mexico? That way I could be a cowboy samurai. Plus I could be a pirate during the journey from Japan to Mexico. ✓ ✓ ✓
So you got to eat your pirate rice cake with beans, and have it too.
Cowboy you get to live a normal life in modern times compared to the other two. A modern day pirate is a shitty 3rd world existence and a samurai means being in Japan. I’ll take Cowboy with a loving wife and kids raising cattle and in the evenings getting to stream 4K content with Starlink on my OLED tv eating amazing BBQ anyday.
But I already am a pirate?
Yarrr beat me too it
Pirate!
I think I would be a samurai. Samurai, while fierce warriors, were also poets and great appreciators of the arts.
Have you read Musashi, the novel?
I have not but I did read Shogun by James Clavelle. It is an epic novel and quite a good read. I should check this one out. I am quite curious about it.
There is also a miniseries made in 1980 by the same name, which is very good (in spite of the age).
Nice, thanks for the recommendation!
It’s actually a series of books Clavelle wrote. He’s really a good author too. The research that he put into writing his historical fiction accounts remain true to the known records of the time. I don’t often reread books but I genuinelly enjoy revisiting his series.
Nice, actually I think I heard about it a while back.
