No matter how many times I kept telling him, "I'm not telling you her Charisma score but you definitely think she's hot", he kept saying, "You don't have to tell me her score but I want to know how much better looking she is compared to me" (he had like a 14 Cha). If I'd say, she's a bombshell & you assume she's out of your league, he would reply back with, "but bombshell could mean she has a 16 Cha for all I know". Then I'd say it again, "I'm not going to tell you their Cha score" and I'd describe another woman he saw that was good looking. He's still saying that I don't have to tell him the Cha score but he'd ask me again, "How good looking is this woman compared to my character?"I had no idea what he wanted me to say other than tell him, "She has an 18 or higher Cha". I kept trying to end the conversation and move on with the game but he kept it going for 30 minutes. Finally I got frustrated and loudly told him that he finds a girl with a 30 Charisma, they go to his room and have sex, and he wakes up in the morning. By that time he knew I was pissed off and I think we ended the session there.I was still pretty new to DMing at that time and I didn't learn the art of ignoring an annoying player & keeping the game going rather than stopping to argue with him. I actually recently talked to him about that bad habit of his and he games with us again.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
