    Sometimes extreme low self-esteem can lead you to give up on “scoring” so you start talking to beautiful people with no hang ups. It’s not like you have a chance, right? Might as well enjoy their company, even if it’s just for friends. Suddenly you realize you have tons in common and you like their company. You hang out together every day. They are such a good friend. Then one day they say “hey”, look at you straight in the eyes, and kiss you.

    We’ve been together for thirty years last August.

    I can see shaggy being a total hit with goth girls. He’s got lots of spooky stories and he brings snacks. What’s not to like?

    True in my case, but there’s a good reason. We started dating in HS. She has a late growth spurt, and her boobs got huge. She really filled out everywhere. And considering she was an ex athlete, she really was something to behold.

    I remember being at work, and seeing a bombshell walking across the parking lot. I was in awe. And then I realized it was her. I knew it was doomed from that point on. She was constantly getting hit on by everyone by that point.

    My girlfriend even went to metal shows with me. She crawled through GWARs worm once. I was so close with the band Lamb of God. This was the years 2000/2001, so they weren’t popular yet. Apparently John Campbell would talk about her tits behind my back.

    I even had several people say I looked like shaggy. And over twenty years later, I go to the grocery store wearing brown sweatpants and a green shirt. That was today.

    Matrix confirmed.

      They’re not posing to get their picture taken, Shaggy just appeared there, and she was instantly paralyzed

      A few friends said that me. Pretty sure it was just to keep me going. Though One time my old 4th grade teacher stopped me when I went to my brother’s parent day. Asked me if I was single and wanted to meet her child. Sadly I wasn’t and my brother was there so couldn’t lie even if It occurred to me to. Felt very random. Especially how forward she was on all that.

          Weirdly, Not as uncommon In my life. I had 2 arranged marriages that I am very happy fell through. My father kept trying to arrange with his customers kids. He made huge deal when I wouldn’t indulge him any further.

    Ya’ll better put some respect on my man’s name. Shaggy was a real one, even when he was scared. And he came with snacks.

    I remember seeing a pretty goth girl holding hands with a guy in a full Adidas tracksuit and thinking how unusual yet awesome it was to see people from completely different social groups in a relationship.

    One review of Multiversus mentioned “I never thought I would describe Shaggy as one of the most powerful shoto charachters, but that seems to be the case”.

    As a bitter short guy the first thing I saw was “yeah, he’s tall.”
