He said it because your comments about marriage are hilariously childish, on top of you getting divorced for not wanting kids (something only a fuggin child doesn’t discuss pre vows)
Thinks lack of nutrition, orders pizza.
Everything’s coming into focus now
Based on how charming you are, I’m sure it was mutual…
I share this observation as well.
That kid should only work part time, to make sure he doesn’t get ugly before 35.
I don’t think he can handle well-adjusted traditional girls in the first place. From the vibe I’m getting from this guy, traditional girls will most likely look at him as a whiny, weak loser.
Since half of him is made up of superior male genetics, he should be good until at least 50.
no. When I had a dating profile, I had a couple pictures of me from competitions, which showed that I was a competitive athlete, but I’m smart enough to know that shirtless gym-selfies will automatically get you dismissed by A LOT of women. If I remember right, I had like a couple competition pics, a ‘casual’ picture, and one dressed up nice (button down and dress pants), which was a selfie. something like that. I didn’t focus on having great lighting or filters or do anything to alter my image. I agree wholeheartedly that a lot of women do things to manipulate their appearance for dating profiles, and I don’t enjoy that. I do know that if every picture a woman posts is neck up, or from a weird angle that makes her boobs look big and hides her stomach, that she is going to be 50 lbs overweight, at least.
Men do it too though. I’ve heard so many stories about men posting pictures that had to be from like 10-20 years ago, not even looking like their pictures, etc. They also lie about height a lot. Almost every woman I’ve asked about her worst dating experiences has told me they’ve been out with at least one guy who lied about his height by at least 5 inches. Which, to me, is fucking insane, but whatever. So yea, guys do it too. Most people in general are just trying to present the most favorable version of him/herself as possible. I think guys straight up lie more, and girls manipulate photos more. Just my observation.
his thoughts. duh. and maybe gaze into eyes more. or admire his muscular physique.
Just not the language. don’t focus on the words he’s typing in this thread.
better make sure she stops that shit before she’s 35. you know what happens…
At least she’s got a couple of years of hard labor left in her.
why is marriage in quotes? were you not actually married?
If there were PMs I’d explain it to you.
Anyways, the shirtless pic question was out of genuine curiosity, nothing more. I’ve heard women immediately swipe left on shirtless pics, but then I don’t know how much of that is pure bullshit.
And the rest of my comment had to do with the fact that men are not good at creating selfie word description profiles of themselves, less so than women I think. Women are at least somewhat good at making themselves seem hot when men always tend to come out weird, or creepy like you even suggested.
Seriously though why does everything I say always end up coming down to some personal criticism about what you perceive I can or cannot do. I say that most profile pics are altered, and that is probably true, and I find that most of the encounters the people will lie. This has been pretty much well documented, even you and flip admit so. So why can I not say that without being dinged for some personal fault? Once again lol, it’s fucking stupid and annoying “oh you don’t push through difficulty” like huh? wtf does this have to do with me. I’ve met some cool people in my short time on those apps, had small relationships with some, nothing crazy but my criticism of the apps are still on point.
Too much emphasis on user error when the app themselves are flawed. And to go back to what @flipcollar mentioned briefly which is pointed out in the article… going to a bar and only having people there to choose from kinda sucks, but too much choice can also be leading to its own set of problems. You value connections less, and you always think there is something better around the corner.
@Basement_Gainz
Unsupported claims? the article is a discussion on WHY things may be happening, and various claims are made, both by science and research, and by personal anecdotes. DO you ever think there is going to be a solid consensus on something like this? like, really? this isn’t an experiment on rats.
I don’t get this dig on the word journalist, apparently I’m not in on the joke. Is it because I used journalist instead of blogger or something?
Biological urges aren’t voluntary.
well, those are personal choices. that sort of thing isn’t forced upon you. dating apps did not change my personal values.
You keep saying the apps themselves are flawed, and I’m not sure what you mean by that. Also, every app has a different design, so let’s be specific and say Tinder, for the sake of this conversation, and simplicity. What is the design flaw of Tinder? I know that they have had issues with fake profiles/bots in the past, and I know that they have worked to minimize that issue. Are there other concerns about the design that you have? As far as gender is concerned, it’s obviously balanced. Nothing in the design allows one gender to do anything the other can’t.
If your concern with the app is more the nature of dating apps themselves, or the idea of ‘swiping’, then that’s kind of a separate conversation that can be had, but I don’t think calling that a design flaw would be reflective of what you actually mean.
Also: if you were to design a dating app from the ground up, what are some basic features you would want to include that would differ from what is on the market today? Would you want it to be gender neutral, or would you do something that gave one gender or the other certain features that the opposite did not have. An example of this: Bumble does not allow men to initiate conversations. When 2 people match, they are both notified, and the woman must then initiate a conversation within 24 hours. Then the man has 24 hours from that point to respond. Then the conversation can flow however, it becomes gender neutral at that point.
The satisfaction of them is though. This is how asecticism is a thing.
Not familiar with it. I’ll look it up.
However, despite my unfamiliarity, I don’t see where this goes. I mean, eating is voluntary too, right? Would someone be accountable for eating?
Does misanthropy guide a misanthropes life the way religion does? (Being serious here.)
I don’t know which way religion guides someone’s life.
I would say no. It’s more of an opinion on human nature rather than a set of guiding principles. But, it could be a big factor in how one determines what guiding principles they should live by.
The Apps are based on looks, if he was short and balding do you really think a lot of women would find him attractive? That’s like a short and fat woman complaining that guys don’t find her attractive. She might have a great personality but that can’t be shown simply from pictures.
Plus, the guy was in a 7 year relationship. That’s 7 years not having to impress a woman, or trying to get to talk with someone completely new. 7 years out of the game will do that to people no matter how good looking or personable you are.
I don’t think it should be that hard, you want girls to like you, be likable.
Wouldn’t this be self evident simply by even observing some religious people, for everything from clothing, to sexual practice, dietary habits, forbidden behaviors, and so on? I’m assuming you know this. I mean, one can spot some religious people just from their appearance.
