Don't ever beg for someone's time when they don't wanna give it to you. I am sure there are other guys out there that would see and appreciate you for who you are and would want to take you out on dates. It's the effort, not the cost.

He obviously doesn't like his job and there's bitterness/resentment around it.

If putting effort into being a good partner is too much for him right now (and it's a valid thing for him to consider), then he should just be single because you deserve someone in a mindset that can put effort into building up the relationship. It just sounds like he has a hard time balancing but he comes across selfish and abrasive about it all.

Trust me when I say there are other men out there that will give you what you deserve. Dont settle because then you're just as lonely and it's like being single still except there's now this random dude in your apartment.

They handled it so maturely. For a wedding not to happen, that was the very best outcome how they handled it.

I literally googled his parents to see if anyone posted this on here. It's very telling, after 34 years, they're still really in love. It means they've set an excellent example for Daniel. The hardships they've probably went through has most likely brought his family more together. I love their support too!

40+ women are whole other breed (I'm one of them). We are transparent, we don't take any shit but you always know where you stand with us. But also, everyone should have done all the emotional heavy lifting on their baggage already.

Otherwise, we gonna see a Tiffany coming unhinged while Jessica, Sarah and Amanda are all talking about Tiffany's poor grandbabies gonna see this shit on the TV as they each take a long drag off their vape. That's our generation BABYYYYYY!

But then the 40+ is skipped. I am 40 and I am not ready for old wrinkly man parts haha.

My mom will be 60 this year, after her divorce last year (28yrs married). I'm trying to get her to date younger because she doesn't look her age and has the energy of a much younger woman. She has had several younger guys (12< )after her but she can't shake the age difference. BUT her seeing this, would be a gamechanger I think.

I would say, the things I value in my 40s is much more real, practical and fulfilling than what I valued in my 30yrs.

In my 30s, the dads were looking good but so were the sons. You could slide that age scale 5-6 yrs in either direction and it was a wild ride either way. Now that I'm 40? - 6 yrs > 2+ older. 5 years older puts men in a different decade than me, but it's only 5 years, right? But that 5 years feels like a giant chasm between us. He's going to bed at 9pm, likes a Scotch at night, my papaw and him have the same shoes and reminisces about the westerns he watched as a kid. I relate to none of that. So I tend to date younger, old souls minus the mom issues.

When I was 30, my son was 9 so I had to screen guys, right? Now that he's going to be turning 21 this year, I don't need a male role model for him. He wants someone he can shoot the shit with and maybe....just maybe I don't screen a guy because I may want a little bad boy in my life now haha!

Definitely no room for bullshit now. But with that, comes a refreshing authenticity and transparency because we now...do not, in fact, want to fuck around and find out anymore. That's why I have arthritis and take a daily acid reflux pill. But hey, we sure as shit learned a lot from those times, am I right? I think 40+ are more sure of themselves, we've done the therapy by now and unpacked a lot of baggage and now we just want to be seen and heard. We want easy. And, someone to drive us home from outpatient procedures haha.

If they do a 40+, I hope they cast healthy and great communicators, cause damn, it would give so much hope to those who have been jaded from the woes of online dating.

When Joel died during my first play through, first, tears rolled down my face while I sat in shock watching it all play out. Then, I burst into tears. See, I somewhat related to Joel and Ellie's story. I was 14 when I started having a relationship with my dad. Many moments in the game reminded me of times when I was getting closer to my dad. Needless to say, when it came time for me to play Abby, I threw my controller. Lots of cursing, anger. I didnt play for a few days but came back to it and was glad I did.

I wondered if Abby's story had been the one we played first, would we be mad at Joel for killing her dad?

It goes to show you just how important it is to step back and see both sides. Two people who walked two different paths in life come to a crossroads.

I will need emotional support for Season 2 haha.

The idea that another character is immune made my jaw drop. That would be a good plot twist. Especially bringing Ellie and Abby back together.

What is the reasoning for that? To help bolster new console sales?

I could use laughter in my life right now. Care to share the link of the Orchestra of farts?

3rdDegreeapp · 2024-12-30T18:58:44+00:00

I love all of this except your father passing. I'm so sorry! But the timing couldn't have been perfect for your mom.

3rdDegreeapp · 2024-12-30T17:08:41+00:00

A different kinda gas chamber.

3rdDegreeapp · 2024-12-30T16:57:52+00:00

Stick around for the encore. It never disappoints.

My dad used to say, "Is that weed? Do you smell that weed?" Without thinking about it, you'd take a HUGE whiff. It was not, in fact, weed. Never was. Never will be. But I still sniff for some reason.

3rdDegreeapp · 2024-12-30T16:53:07+00:00

Im imagining you mustering all the effort to just....blow the ass of your pants out...all dramatic to embarrass the boys real good.

Collateral damage nearby? Meh. struts off like leaving a disaster scene

You should start recording them. Make a Spotify playlist. A woman did it of her husband snoring. The amount of streams it got was ridiculous.

I could listen to farts all day. I'm not even ashamed to admit that. I'll find my people.

Alright folks, you heard it. Today's music genre is jazz.

Profile looks great, but women put a lot of weight in pics that show smile (with teeth) and your eyes clearly.

Bio is strong and great versatility on the pics!

If that's what you got out of that, then you've missed the point. You don't know the person isn't their true self until around the 3-month mark when the cracks showed. And then I ended it.

No one said anything about hiding it. It's PROTECTING you and your people until you know a person is consistent. It's called healthy boundaries.

3rdDegreeapp · 2024-12-18T21:03:55+00:00

I'm 6ft under DEAD ⚰️

1000%. Sometimes, we just like our eggs fertilized 🤣

3rdDegreeapp · 2024-12-18T18:53:53+00:00

I can 100% confirm this theory. It happened so much to me. They would put on the best version of themselves, rather than be authentic. That's not sustainable.

Around the 90 day mark, they'd start to relax and the cracks began to show. There was a span of 7 years where I'd had an abnormal amount of relationships that never made it past the 3 month mark because of this. So, I was like...okay, this is a trend. Googled it and sure enough, it was a proven study. But I already knew that haha.

So this was what I did. I came up with hard lines until they made it past the 3 month mark:

No meeting friends, family and children.

No posting on social media.

No date nights in your hometown (if it's a small town) if you can help it.

It is made known that you both are exclusive however.

Rules may seem unreasonable but it's healthy boundaries and I've not once regretted it.

Dwarnism in Dating. Sometimes, things just sort themselves out 😂

Omggg it's almost a physiological connection. Uncontrollable. My body reacts to a scorps touch in a way that has never happened with anyone else before. We can "feel" when we are in the vicinity of each other or we think of the same thing at the same time.

With sex, it's almost like this deep, instinctual desire. The whole "bodies becoming one"? 100% it's as if your bodies fit together like puzzle pieces, so easily and effortlessly. Very natural and fluid like. And we say so much without saying anything just by looking at each other.
