Keeps reading the cout no matter what the string is.

[ryansspace]

So I have set up predefined keywords as chars and it checks if the mood input is equal to first the weezer char, then the nirvanaisbad chars, etc etc, and if it isn't prelogged anywhere it will just move on to confirmation. But no matter what I enter, it saya "Get laid, virgin" no matter what. I have spent 3 days trying so many different things and I just want to start working on other parts of the program. All help appreciated! Code below.

  #include <string>
#include <string.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
        string mood;
        string answer;

   char const * weezerresponses = {"weez"};

   char const * nirvanabadresponse = {"i dont like nirvana" "i don't like nirvana" "i do not like nirvana" "fuck nirvana" "nirvana sucks" "nirvanas trash" "nirvana is trash" "nirvanas garabage"
                                "nirvana is garbage" "nirvana blows" "nirvana sucks balls" "nirvanas ass" "nirvana is ass"};

   char const * britishpunk = {"u/britishpunk149" "britishpunk149"};
    start:

    cout << "Oh hey! How are you feeling today?" << endl;

    getline(cin, mood);


        // responses to phrases in the mood string

           if (mood.find(weezerresponses) )
           {
               cout << "Get laid, virgin." << endl;
           }




          if (mood.find(nirvanabadresponse))
         {
             cout << "Yeah... you're right :/" <<endl;
         }


         else if (mood.find(britishpunk))

         {
             cout << "Oh yeah man! I freaking LOVE u/britishpunk149!!! I am her biggest fan :D" <<endl;
         }

         else{}



         // confirms mood
        cout<<endl;
     cout << "You answered " << mood << ". Is that correct? " << endl;

     getline(cin, answer);



     //confirms the users answer
     if (answer == "yes" || answer == "yeah" || answer == "Yes" || answer == "Yes")
     {
        cout << endl;
         cout << "Okay cool!" <<endl;
     }

        // if answer string is no
            else {
             std::cin.clear();
              std::cin.ignore();
                goto start;
            }


    return 0;
}
