Yeah… those old hippies with their “be yourself” and “let it all hang out” - clearly the key to life is to wear a mask. Such enlighten. So fulfillment.
You can be yourself without a deluge of your own interests flooding the conversation. Unless being yourself of taking only about yourself and no listening. In that case mask on.
Bud, fuck that come get shitfaced with me and nerd about about the Titanic
Something something Rockerfeller
Every time we launch a titanic a buncha rich cunts die.
We need a fleet
I couldn’t possibly spend a moment with a woman who couldn’t talk with me about historical disasters.
I held to my values and wanted good things for myself and that’s what I got.
Ayup. Autistic abrasive af here, never made any attempt to change or hide who i am. Been happily married 20 years
Major congratulations. I despair seeing so many people who ostensibly want the same things and yet live in constant stress for living up to some imagined image of what’s “normal” or “proper” for a relationship.
People tend to argue for why they’re lonely so impassionately that you start to realize that loneliness and hopelessness is what they actually want on some level because it’s more comfortable than the challenges of sharing your actual life with someone, and their brains are just inventing stories for why they can’t find a partner who they can be friends with and enjoy things together.
We have entire industries of scammers on social media pushing videos that serve only to feed this insecurity and avoidance and it’s making everything so much worse. I’m very glad I’m not part of the modern dating world because I’ve known what I’ve wanted since the beginning.
I know so many people who are in unhappy relationships because they’re following a scrupt.
I also know a great many who have wiped their arse with it.
Best thing you can be is yourself, ya got no other fucking choice anyway
Checks notes
POV: You are a conservative (Politics on “No” column)
Imagine dating a conservative. Ew.
Imagine dating and politics being such a polarizing dealbreaker you miss out on potential partners and good company
Not hard to imagine at all when we are talking about literal fascist supporters.
If I lived in the US I might agree. Never met one.
Luck you lol
Its difficult cause conservative in your country is much different then here in most European countries. Normally I’d kneejerk about auto conservative hate but our conservative is like left-middle democrat.
YES:
- You’re basically a centrist!
- Both sides make some really good points.
- Possible ice-breaker: “Have you noticed how nobody wants to work anymore?”
- Possible ice-breaker: “Have you noticed we can’t joke about anything anymore?”
Could also be a radical leftist, i know from the experience tslking about the opressive nsture of capitalism and how were brainwashed by the media into a consumerist lifestyle isnt something most baddies cinsider good first date talk.
I’d marry but I’m a bit weird (Lemmy user and all)
including the Titanic
B-b-but…
Oh, relax - your heart will go on.
I assumed this was a cheat sheet with the dating profile of someone they were meeting from online dating, but judging by the comments i misinterpreted. Why would someone need a cheat shret with their own name and not know what their own job is?
My interpretation is that they’re bad at smalltalk and will forget basic facts about themselves. It would fit in with them needing a list of smalltalk topics to choose/avoid…
5 beers a day
- “Finance something”
- variable income
I know it’s a joke, but he’s lying to get laid.
Because it’s their catfish identity I guess.
Are people touchy about Tornadoes?
Not the “getting laid” vibe.
Probably over overly enthusiastic which can be a bad thing in the Midwest during tornado season.
Midwest here.
a tornado once broke into my house and raped my cat. this is why when I see one of those sumbitches I shoot at it.
the only good tornado is a dead tornado.
I mean like storm chasers.
like riders on the storm?
I too sometimes forget my own name and work in something field.
All fields can be “finance” depending on how you look at it.
5 beers / hour
Thats why you go for femboys! He is a bro with a hole!!!
everyone can be your bro with a hole
I guess? But I am personally not gay
Not with that attitude
just focus on the fem aspects then youll be fine 👍
PACE YOURSELF! 5 beers/hour
Open bottle of tequila
You’re not following the instructions!
Tequila isn’t a beer, there were no rules stated about tequila, thus there are no rules against drinking tequila, it’s fair game.
It doesn’t limit tequilas/hr
“Name: Michael” in case he isn’t following instructions.
you have to pregame at least enough to be able to talk to the girls and not just hide in a corner
My talking to girls level is two drinks past pushing rope territory.
Damn man, that blows.
Thats unfortunate for you. Im sorry to hear that
Yeah, not being a kid and knowing enough about Five Nights at Freddy’s is a major red flag, good that he recognises that (but still bad that he even has to in the first place).
Why do people care about incomes and jobs when they date? What do you care how much money i make, you ain’t getting any of it. My job is my way of making money and in no way reflects my personality in any way, so I don’t even like talking about work and capitalism on a date.
Some people wanna live good lives, there is no other way of saying this! Is it unabashed to openly have this in your list of criteria? It is
One of the very few, but strong reasons I don’t have long term relationships with woman! I would recommend for you to look up femboys OwO
strong possibility they work in cybersecurity or IT too
And use arch linux. Deeply considering going this way :3.
It’s fine for long term but I see it even in people who advertise they’re only looking for casual, and to be fair it only seems to be an issue if you’re a man. If a woman is a dog groomer making minimum wage, she’ll look down at a guy making slightly more. Tbf I’ve only dated women and not in a while, but I always found that society cares more about a man’s pay when it comes to dating
Probably people who are looking to form a long term committed relationship where resources will be shared.
Many people don’t want to date someone destitute or with poor financial prospects. That’s just going to be hardship, and there are many other people that are probably just as good a fit without that problem.
Similarly, someone who makes way more money than you can add tension. They might be like “oh let’s go out for dinner!” to someplace expensive, and you don’t have the budget for it. Are they going to pay for it? Are they going to resent that? Are they going to pressure you into paying? Their expectations and standards may not align.
Also, if the relationship is going to be long term most people assume there will be some merging of finances.
Some jobs are also just gross. I wouldn’t date someone who worked at Facebook. I wouldn’t date someone who worked for Fox News. Your job 100% can reflect your values and personality.
It’s sad that money trumps love and attraction now
I mean, that’s kind of been the case for like all of recorded history
now
laughs in class-ism throughout human history
Ideally in the future it will build into a partnership where it will matter.
This made me Google Coleen Hoover to find out what she does and I still dont know what she does. Something to do with flowery pastel book covers.
If you’ve heard about the “pip boy” you’re gonna love the new Incel-erator 5000
I believe it’s a playbook that NFL quarterbacks wear, but I like the Pipboy idea way better
