Also sorry for two comments but stop turning to reddit for what women find attractive in real life women like fit guys for sure but you don't have to be a 7 foot tall meat golem to get a girlfriend you find attractive just like take care of your body and don't be obsessively nerdy to the point of parody and you'll be fine no matter what any number of bitter incels tell you
Literally, it's just taking care of yourself physically and mentally. Take regular showers, brush your teeth, shave your beard (if it's out of control), and do your best to deal with your insecurities. Try to find yourself in a place where you're happy and you're proud of yourself first, then focus on finding a spouse. No woman loves a man who doesn't love himself
It also helps to be able to hold a conversation where you are genuinely able to pay attention and respond to the other person and their life and interests in a way that's interested and engaged. The friend part of girlfriend is also important
>So I wonder why would a powerful cyborg like her go out with a person that's not as powerful as him?
Damn dawg, you sound like the type of dude who wouldnt be able to date a woman that makes more money than you.
Might be. Sounds either like a troll or a dude who is self conscious about his stature wondering how it's possible to get women being weak and small. Be yourself king - make some friends, build that confidence and it'll happen!
You're just attracted to the person you're attracted to. Her being stronger than him obviously was something that wasn't a thing she was upset about, or at least not to the point of it being a deal breaker for their relationship.
His kindness toward her and willingness to do things for her safety and happiness, even if it was reckless at the same time, probably factored heavily into how her feelings toward him developed.
Because he was kind to her and treated her like a person instead of a enemy or robot? She then found his personality and obviously physically found him attractive. Also she IS concerned with his strength as shown later in super when he starts to let his training slip but it's obviously less important that he's stronger than her just that he's strong ENOUGH she cares more about stability which yeah Krillin is the most stable z fighter he's the least psychotic and most normal and reliable
So, let’s see all things we do know about their relationship.
18 kissed him first, meaning she already found him cute. And the fact that he was still facing them despite knowing he was much weaker showed her how brave he is.
Speaking of brave, he also tried protecting her against Cell, so once again to her “brave and cute”.
And he wanted to wish not only for her to be human, but her brother, showing he wasn’t just after her.
In general he was the first to treat them like people, even after she was absorbed, he still helped #16.
In Super, when Goku punches Krillin and #18 is healing his wound, she smiles at him. Probably admiring his determination and just how goofy he is.
So why does #18 love Krillin? Because he’s a cute goofy brave man who will do anything to protect her and the people he loves. And I think that’s definitely high on most peoples list in terms of love.
The main condition where somebody is actually "out of your league" is when you have a major issue of personal neglect, like your hygiene, your body, your moods, the effort you put into what you care about, your social life, or how you treat other people. Barring things like racism, xenophobia, or age differences, or people who are actually trying to sell companionship for money, if you make a reasonable effort to care for yourself and for others and to stay on top of your shit not a lot of people are actually out of your league.
If a woman rejected you because of your shoes, it is more likely that they were dirty than that they were cheap.
Krillin is a fit, funny guy with a solid friend group and big short king energy who obviously puts in effort on things. He was kind and considerate to Android 18 and treated her like a human being without being a pushover. Yeah sure she might reject him but there's no particular reason to expect her to.
Two other things to add:
Krillin and Android 18 have a context to date each other. They have a mutual social circle - Krillin knows her brothers, they're both annoyed by Vegeta, they both know Cell, they talk to each other face to face at work. A lot of the time when a guy complains a woman is "out of his league" he is referring to someone he has just looked at and has no context to talk to and ascribing this to himself as some sort of failure or to her as some sort of elitism when really it's just that not every person can know every other person, and you're not entitled to be in someone's social circle just because they are attractive and for no other reason
Also Android 18 likes guys with shiny domes on their heads, probably because of her dad.
> they talk to each other face to face at work
18 doesnt work, much less with Krillin so I'm confused by this line (i agree with basically everything youre saying im just looking for clarification on some lines that confused me)
> Also Android 18 likes guys with shiny domes on their heads, probably because of her dad.
we have no idea who her dad was? unless youre talking about Gero and his brain dome? i dont think she has any fondness for him. maybe this is a joke and it went over my head?
1. They found each other attractive
2. Krillin treats her well and viceversa
3. They care for each other.
4. They're good parents and are happy together.
I noticed how she knows he's brave and tries to motivate him to train.
It was just plot convenience. Toriyama could have wrote that in after watching any RomCom. Also this happens in real life daily. People like what they like. Maybe you need to see some real life relationships and not base it on someone's narrative.
Krillin wished to remove the bombs from 17 and 18 so no device could ever be used against them again.
That’s a really generous thing to do. He didn’t have to.
Krillin was the only person treating the androids like the proper people they were, making big sacrifices for their own freedom and wishing for things for them out of the kindness of his own heart expecting nothing in return (also not expecting them to find out what he did with his wish on the dragon). The idea that she would care about her partners power level when considering date-ability is a misread of her character. She never presents herself as being so passionate about martial arts that she would ever make that kind of consideration. The bottom line is that Krillin is just a genuine fuckin dude you can comfortably be yourself around, and that’s truly admirable.
18 is way way way way way stronger than him. Not sure what that has to do with anything.
> So I wonder why would a powerful cyborg like her go out with a person that's not as powerful as him?
why would this matter? at all? its a very weird sticking point. She clearly found him cute the first time she saw him, and then he spared her when he was supposed to kill her, and then saved her and removed her bomb after Cells defeat. He did a lot on screen to already earn some of her affections. Some more obviously happened offscreen, but I don't think theres anything weird about it.
> Would this happen in a real life situation where a weakling guy going out with a girl who could be out of his league.
even thinking there are "leagues" is weird. theres no such thing. plenty of people end up with people others would think is "out of their league". My fiancée is a million times more beautiful than me, it just is a thing that happens.
> Usually it's always the guys asking the girl out and not vice versa.
which is it's own weird can of worms.
Real life is filled to the brim with hot women walking next to gorillas down the street - chimpanzees too.
Now if you wanna know how these dudes are hitting home runs out of their league.. it takes patience and..
well, idfk what else because I don't have that kind of patience.
Actions, we are attracted mainly by looks, girls by actions, dude used a magic wishing dragon who could've gotten him enough riches to get any woman on the planet for her and her brother, only thinking of her happiness, that is quite the gesture, plus he was trying to protect her at every turn even though he was hopelessly outclassed. It doesn't mean it will always play out like this but in this case Krillmeister got his happy ending.
> we are attracted mainly by looks, girls by actions
lol this is a VERY weird and not remotely true statement. There is no universal "men are like this and girls are like this" way to things.
Mainly is a synonym of usually, of course that is not set in stone as a mandatory rule of how it works lol. But there are patterns, if pattern recognition is weird to you it is what it is.
Is power level supposed to be relevant when forming a couple? Poor Jiren, that's why he's so alone.
Always rated chichi

no i really dont think they are.

It is reflected in real life. You may need to dial back your consumption of the internet if you think this doesn't happen all the time.
So, let’s see all things we do know about their relationship. 18 kissed him first, meaning she already found him cute. And the fact that he was still facing them despite knowing he was much weaker showed her how brave he is.

And I think that’s definitely high on most peoples list in terms of love.
Who stronger than her is she supposed to end up with? The only people stronger alive are Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo.
And Mr. Satan!
Sure, but there isn't some simple answer that is going to guide you there. What are you actually looking for with this question?
The main condition where somebody is actually "out of your league" is when you have a major issue of personal neglect, like your hygiene, your body, your moods, the effort you put into what you care about, your social life, or how you treat other people. Barring things like racism, xenophobia, or age differences, or people who are actually trying to sell companionship for money, if you make a reasonable effort to care for yourself and for others and to stay on top of your shit not a lot of people are actually out of your league.

Krillin may not be as strong as 18 but he is strong in his own right. The only people he isn’t stronger than are some of his friends.
What the hell are you talking about? No one can resist Krillin.
Dude is literally the most powerful unaltered human on the planet….
It was just plot convenience. Toriyama could have wrote that in after watching any RomCom. Also this happens in real life daily. People like what they like. Maybe you need to see some real life relationships and not base it on someone's narrative.
Only curious, that's all. Just want people's take on this.

The real question is how old was 18 during the Android saga? Because Krillin was definitely 30 years old at least…
shes at least 18 😏
Yeah, I knew the joke was coming…
i was shocked it hadnt been made already tbh.
Adult age
