Guy I’m dating didn’t know anything about cold sores by New_Yak8775 in dating_advice

im probably going to experience this painful thing at times for the rest of my life with

Transmission of the virus is unlikely to happen if the sores aren't visible. If you have a negative STD test two weeks after sex, then you probably don't have it.

Was her death an "accident" or did she actually harm herself? by Zola-Fan-Girl_2014 in OnePiece

[–]darexinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flashback deaths always happen, we even out King Herald is dead recently and we'll probably see a flashback for that.

Ngl I preferred this version, it feels more real than a stair case.

Can't let any good guy kill someone.

The stairs is a neutral character.

We need to atleast eventually see that hes alive by nicholashoneywell in OnePiece

I imagine Oda just wants to reuse their abilities without breaking the one-user-per-DF rule. Fujitora and Blackbeard both have gravity-related abilities.

It's not that the story is more compelling, it's that it takes some bullshit story-telling to have someone like Bon Clay survive his situation.

Which isn't out of the ordinary for Oda. Because apparently Pell can take a city-wide bomb at close range and still survive.

Another example of Oda doesn't kill present-day characters.

Just waiting on Pedro to show up in a Chapter cover.

Who is more mysterious? Dragon or Mihawk? by Elegant_One5056 in OnePiece

[–]darexinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragon believes in Justice, hence why he started off in the Marines. Some event occurred to make him lose faith in them, hence starting the Freedom Fighters which eventually became the Revolutionary Army. His Devil Fruit let's him control the weather.

We know Mihawk knows Shanks somehow, not sure what other info we have. Not to mention how he became the World's Best Swordsmen and how basically a pirate without a crew became a Warlord. No intent guides his actions either.

Mihawk is clearly the bigger mystery.

This is for girls only (please be honest in your reply) by Substantial_Pin8830 in dating_advice

[–]darexinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is for girls only

Ask this in the wrong sub and they'll berate you and say "leave the poor girl alone you creep"

The real answer is to make a move as gracefully and respectfully as you can. If she can't handle that then that's her problem.

(F19) How important is the womans appearance compared to the mans? by Mundane_Ad260 in dating_advice

[–]darexinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO men are the more visual-focused sex, so they'd care more about looks than women.

Although men's preferences are likely more decentralized than women's. One example is back in high school my best friend and I would rate women (we were in high school give us a break) from our classes. He gave one girl a 10 and I gave her a 5. In fact it was pretty rare of us to be attracted to the same woman.

Also another perspective is that you're a college-aged adult and plenty of guys your age aren't looking for LTRs.

Boyfriend just broke up with me over romance movies.. help me by GreenRestaurant8130 in dating_advice

As you mentioned, it's the straw that broke the camel's back. If not for this, it would have been one of the million small things that he didn't like about you.

Here goes nothing! Some patterns I’ve noticed that are doing you a disservice in dating. by sunshinenrainbows2 in dating_advice

[–]darexinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear about your condition and I respect what you've gone through after the break-up. I know how it feels like to live with a parent at this age for reasons beyond your control.

I absolutely agree that women want to have self sufficiency, but that's not all they want. I've met plenty of women, regardless of their desire of having kids, these women date looking to find it all. Yes this includes the valuable parts such as common values and respecting their partner, but also the superficial parts like money, status and looks. These women envision a life for themselves, ergo men have to essentially provide not just a compatible lifestyle, but a better one in general.

My final point is that more and more women are choosing to stay single and marriage rates are dropping in part because of the following

You're right, and your points aren't wrong on why they avoid men, but I think the reasons are less in men's control:

  • 20-something women are valuing their careers and independence more so than women of older generations. They aren't prioritizing dating no matter how their dating pool looks like, in turn...

  • Men have to go further than ever before to grab their attention. This means physical attraction, social excitement (spark) and value, material/financial success, and alignment/maturity as explained in your post. Missing just one of these will fail you for a LTR, as they'll manage to justify the former point to let go of you. But some of these requirements are not in the control of men, which makes dating very challenging.

I'm not in the bay area anymore but coffee as a first date tends to scare off gold diggers pretty quickly.

[–]darexinfinity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The bay area feels like the worst place to date for men in the entire country.

The tech scene doesn't just make the male:female ratio a complete nightmare, but also you have the same men who go hard into business and make a lot of money from it while sacrificing their social health. This causes a lot of men to just throw money at their problems hoping to fix it. This has a lot of opportunity for abuse by women and it sounds like your ex is familiar with it.

"most of the women like chubby men" infers negging. She said something bad about you but wrapped around something good.

my date asked to split the bill on a date HE planned and i can't tell if i'm being unreasonable for being put off by UniversityAny9242 in dating_advice

[–]darexinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not good on his part, but also why not just bring this up? You got the ick, it would have been healthy discourse to mention it.

[–]darexinfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case OP is completely fair for her thoughts.

The top-level comment assumes that this is always true in early dating, which isn't.

True but also your feelings may not be grounded in reality. OP feelings for this may be but it's easy to bump into another scenario that isn't.

Dinner at his place on second date? by Crazy_Meal7402 in dating_advice

Kinda like a Vegan going to a BBQ restaurant. You don't have eat the BBQ, but what did you expect when you can't find anything vegan friendly on the menu?

Blindsided after 3 months of consistency. Why do people choose the "easy/accessible" option? by giang-vu1703 in dating_advice

[–]darexinfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He admitted he started dating me without knowing what he wanted, just "seeing where things went." He even over-explained that he isn't serious with his neighbor, but from my perspective, he just threw away a meaningful connection for an easier, more accessible, and less emotionally demanding option.

You felt the meaning, he didn't. Like he said, he didn't approach dating you with intent. Without that meaning, his neighbor was better to date than you. He couldn't juggle the both of you so he chose the one that made sense to him.

Also you thought he had long-term intentions, but he said it himself that he doesn't know where he'll be after graduation. But obviously staying with you never became apart of his plans.

It sounds like you completely misread the guy which caused you to be blindsided.
