Brian Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 My only rule when I was dating no crazy ex. If you have one, I’m out. Nothing is more fun than going to a bar and having the ex eye fuck you for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the person says that all of their exes are crazy or assholes, it's usually just a matter of time until you're another crazy asshole in their past.

Nothing is more fun than going to a bar and having the ex eye fuck you for hours. I have a crazy ex, I think she's finally done though thank god. A year after she dumped me she sent me a dollar on Venmo with a longwinded message asking for life advice saying she was doing it because she didn't know how else to reach me. Because I'd blocked her everywhere else after she showed up banging on my door at 11 PM for an hour straight a month after she dumped me. She dumped me because I wasn't ready to get married and have babies and I think after a month she realized her biological clock was ticking and she wasn't going to find anyone else ready to make babies with her on the timeline she wanted.

Baby daddy *certainly* doesn't want you stepping in on his territory. Dating someone who already has a kid or two is kind of freeing. It's like "you do your thing, I'm gonna do my thing while you're doing your thing, and we'll just meet when it's convenient and baby daddy has the kids for the weekend." Post menopausal is the best because you can go IN! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have kinda warmed up to this idea. I said recently in another thread that I’ll never have kids, but if I’m going to start dating in my 30’s, if she already has a kid that’s already in school or whatever, and I can just kinda be the guy who shows up occasionally as needed, that doesn’t sound too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Another one for the dating apps: All of their pictures are them trying to look like a hot/sexy model rather than just being a normal smiling human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont: get me started in dating apps... I could make a list a mile long. Some of the big ones though: Every photo taken from an angle that only seems possible via drone. Every photo is a selfie and/or has a snapchat filter. Gives one word replies, here is one of my all time favorites: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamusha Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Well on my last date she told me she couldn’t drive because she had two DUI’s, then preceded to get drunk over the course of the night. So that, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't drive because I got into a really bad accident and now it plays over and over again in my head whenever I get behind the wheel. I essentially don't drive because of PTSD. One of my best friends can't drive because he has epilepsy. And I also have one friend who pretty much chooses not to drive because she also had 2 DUIs and she would rather give up driving than drinking.

My uncle did actual prison time for his third DUI. Or maybe it was his fourth. One of my exes got her license revoked. Not suspended, revoked.

This won't happen in the US because collectively we don't want to deal with the consequences of making driving a de facto requirement for participation in society in most of the country, but what would probably make sense is something like first DUI is severe non-prison consequences, second DUI is permanent license revocation, and only proceed to prison time if the person keeps trying to drive after having their license revoked.

The solution is investment in public transit. The thing is WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BAN CARS, FOR FUCKS SAKE. we're just trying to give people transportation options that aren't cars. It's like people who oppose high density housing. We're not trying to force you to live in skyscrapers, we just want the option between mcmansions and condo towers to be a thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is to give people options to not have to drive a truck. That shit drives me bonkers. Over half of the population of the US lives in major metro areas, and the average american spends $11k/year on their cars. For most americans, that's like a third of their income. Fucking stop. We could make a serious dent in eliminating poverty if we just put money into pubilc transit. "oh but TraAinS aRe A WaStE oN PubLic MoNeY." When was the last time you drove on a toll road?
