I don't like mayo either.
-
Not liking mayo I can get. Not liking pickles I can get. But liking neither of those things?!? That's just criminal. I love me some pickles. I have like, no joke, fifty jars of them in my basement right now because I fucking love pickles. But I made them. And I also make my own mayo, with olive oil, not the store bought stuff, because I enjoy it quite a bit, but I usually also add spicy things to mine to make different sorts of spreads.
I just... I cannot fathom how people could hate both of these things.
Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.

But mayonnaise is disgusting.I used to not mind it. Then (along with soda and a handful of other things) I decided I was just going to cut it out of my diet entirely, and I didn't eat it for like a year. Then, my last time in my local sub shop, I forgot to ask them to leave the mayo off my sandwich.
OH MY GOD DISGUSTING WHY DID I EVER EAT THIS WHY.

Next you philistines are going to start extolling the virtues of Miracle Whip.

Let's get something straight. Mayo is good. Miracle Whip is good. Miracle Whip is not a substitute for mayo any more than ketchup (whis is good) is a substitute for mustard (which is also good). They are different condiments.
-
I hate both mayo and pickles. Refuse to eat either. I don't even understand WHY I don't like pickles. I like cucumbers, I like vinegar... but the two together have me recoiling in horror. Just a thing. Mayonnaise I just flat out hate the taste of. But, I'm not a huge fan of eggs, either.
Sidenote: I've bought and been given games before. I've even been given items and/or gold in games before. But some of my GW2 guildies and friends can also say that I've spent a metric butt-ton of gold on them in return. I have nothing against being given or giving things, but I refuse to ask for something or congratulate someone for getting something 'because I'm a girl and therefore helpless'. That's just disingenuous and horrible and plays into the exact stereotype most of us gaming girls have been fighting decades to get rid of. That we're inferior players and thus need special aid because of our gender. So no. No 'good on them' for perpetuating a stereotype that leads to more girls being harassed on games because we happen to be female. Fuck those bitches.

Using sexuality to get something in a game is fairly common and happens with male gendered players. The transactional nature of what and how they get it is different but its still the same thing. This is likely unintentional of you but specifically framing female gendered players as the ones who are transgressive in this situation is coming off a leeeeetle bit slut shamey.
Female gendered players who do this tend to be more open/obvious about it because in that case, general female gendered players are socialized to be openly performative about it.
Just a little bit?

When someone says something I said but better. shakefist

Yup, I get all that about sex and stuff. It's still a peeve of mine for a female in gaming to say "Tee Hee, I'm a girl, give me stuff or do it for me."
(I also like mayo, but to my dad Miracle Whip IS mayo, so I don't get it much.
) -
I'm sorry @Insomnia, but your father is a monster. I would strongly recommend putting him down for the good of humanity.

Miracle Whip is bad. mayo is bad. Ketchup sucks. Long live honey mustard. And pickles are horrible.
-
I, too, am a life-long loather of mayo. And miracle whip. Even the smell of mustard can pretty much cause my stomach to turn on a dime from happy to 'someone get a bucket!' as a raw condiment, but weirdly, it's fine cooked in/on things.
There was, once upon a time, a magic dipping sauce made by one hole-in-the-wall place that involved both mayo and mustard and it was horribly delicious with the combination of spices they used on their chicken... chunk things.
That place went out of business before I could wrestle the recipe out of them. I'm still sorta pissed about that, because that was some fucking voodoo I would have liked to understand.

@WTFE I just started buying my own, less red tape.

Well that's a solution too, I guess.

This is a fairly simple concept to grasp... yet so many fail.
I will say miracle whip is terrible for old fashioned tuna fish sammiches though. Then again when it comes to Mayo it needs to be Hellmans or not at all. Best Foods I think it is on the west coast.
Then to drop this on folks: The amazing moistness to Chocolate 'mayonnaise' cake.
-
I do have to give props to Hellman's for using free-range chicken eggs in their mayo. My mom is a big fan of all things organic, so I was initially a bit o.O when she asked me to pick her up a small jar of Hellman's mayo. Then I caught the little flag and I understood.

@WTFE Far less jail time too.

Tablet seems dead. Goddammit. >_<

@Ycevolod & some others:
Full disclosure. Once upon a time, when I was a wee young lad, I habitually played girls in video games to get handouts. I sometimes wonder if my e-bfs from those days ever think about me.
Rambling on the subject:
I used to play mostly female characters on City of Heroes. It started out because I was in on it from the start and the female costume options and details outnumbered the ones for male characters by factors of a whole goddamn lot, and I liked coming up with costumes as much as playing.
I noticed pretty immediately that people were far more helpful and pleasant, and that yes, they gave me stuff (power leveling, currency, enhancements, etc). There were a couple of guys who acted like creeps, but since I almost always formed my own teams I just booted them and moved on. I appreciated the early help so much that later on I went to spend a huge chunk of time helping others in a similar fashion, though I was pretty equal opportunity about it.
Mind, the CoH community was overall a pretty good one, so even when I played a male character people were generally pretty cool. I did notice a pretty marked difference in how much leeway I had to poke fun at people while we played. People tended to start shit with my male character if it got too pointed, and usually as publicly as possible, while with my female characters I'd generally just get a polite private message letting me know they didn't appreciate something.
I never really claimed to be female RL, but I also never corrected people one way or another regardless of the character type, and let folks assume whatever they wanted. I didn't play any romance games with anybody, though.
On the actual subject of flirty chicks and it getting them stuff, it's worth noting that a lot of people will give free stuf to pretty much anybody who's friendly, which flirty usually qualifies as. It's not hard in most MMOs to have ridiculous levels of wealth and resource acquisition, and sharing it with folks who have less (when it costs you nothing to do so really) is something people find fun, so odds are at least decent that the person giving something out to somebody else who's being all flirty at them would do so even if they were just being friendly period.
Let's get something straight. Mayo is good. Miracle Whip is good. Miracle Whip is not a substitute for mayo any more than ketchup (whis is good) is a substitute for mustard (which is also good). They are different condiments.
This is a fairly simple concept to grasp... yet so many fail.
That's like saying a car is not a substitute for a truck (because despite both being vehicles you can't cart a piano around in a car) any more than a bicycle is not a substitute for a fighter jet (because despite both being conveyances you can't fire missiles from a bicycle). Other than being condiments, mustard and ketchup are completely different beasts, but miracle whip was created specifically as a cheaper alternative to mayonnaise and made using the same key ingredients as mayonnaise, just in different amounts. In particular, the only reason miracle whip wasn't labeled as a type of mayonnaise is because it doesn't meet a minimum vegetable oil content required for labeling purposes.
Sure, they're 'different', but in the way that two very similar but not identical things are 'different'. That is not even remotely the way ketchup and mustard are 'different'.
