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.

When thinking of each, if it was in a world where life is good and I’m living in the picturesque lifestyle that comes to mind for each one, then probably a Pirate.

Sailing the open seas is the picture that comes to mind and it’s the most “romantic” to me.

Pirates wiped their asses after a shit with a rope. The same rope was used by the entire crew and never switched. I would not enjoy being a pirate. Not at all.

Was that restricted to pirates, or just the way it was done on these ships?

Cowboy literally just means rancher. It was not a particularly good job in the wild west and it’s only marginally better now.

Samurai were well respected, well paid, and had social status. The downside is that they needed to kill people or die trying when their boss said to, which doesn’t sound like fun to me.

Pirates also have the problem of having to do violence on a regular basis, but without the glamour and respect of being Samurai.

All in all, I’d probably choose samurai.

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…
