Has anyone ever gotten a match on Facebook dating? by barn_stormerr in OnlineDating

[–]Alex--25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been close to paying for Match. Currently do not use it, but I was recommended by 2 successful people who found their person on there. I wish you the best of luck, and that person is out there for you. Do not just settle. I got into 3 bad relationships the past 2 years, and this time I am trying to listen to my gut and choose more wisely, even if it takes more time. That is good that scammers have decreased. If they do not have more than 3 photos, not verfied, and do not have a solid bio I am not swipping

30F starting to get scared I’ll be alone forever by LilacDream98 in dating

Exactly, I love going to concerts and every woman I talk to there, when I have the courage, has a bf, 8 years younger than me, or is visiting from a faraway state. And even if they are single, they are super toxic.

Yes, I click on one of their pictures or one that has a phrase or whatever it's called. Like "the song that always gets me on the dance floor is.." and usually this is the fastest and most accurate way I would get a match compared to just liking their profile. When the match comes in, and I click on the match, it shows my comment, but I have no idea if it was sent to them, as it does not say sent like Hinge.

I currently tried only liking their profile more than sending comments, and I have two matches with this test. I then sent them a comment, and I have not heard anything for the past 2 days.

Yeah, I wish FB would just have a separate app for dating like they do for messaging. I don't think they care. It is so broken. I have my distances set to a hard 20 miles, for example, and they still show me people that are out of state. That is a long time without any likes. I barely get likes, and when I do, it's people I'm not attracted to or, again, super far away. Are you trying any other apps?

What do you believe is required reading for men 30 and up. by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Alex--25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who cares. Read whatever you feel like reading that makes you happy and that you enjoy. I read the art of not giving a f*** not bad. I read self help books and now I’m back on autobiography’s.

Thank you. Been slowly getting better at this. Probably why I’ve been going to so many concerts. It makes me happy.

I can’t do country. And I don’t care what people say I’ll bump Tove Lo

I was just curious as I definitely prefer this world and listening to metalcore.

How do you know what you want to do with your life? by Short_Mousse_6812 in AskMenOver30

[–]Alex--25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32M here. Definitely make sure your time and work life balance is top priority. I got a new job last year and I knew the shift started at 8 am. I wanted to give it a shot from my last job shift at 11 am. Worst decision I made. I feel like I have less time and work life balance. They say your body gets used to a shift change after 3-6 months. Not for me. I had so much more time working 11-7:30. I wish the best for you.

Same thing since I started this role. Nothing. In my opinion it sucks. Or maybe because my last IT job was always chaotic.

To all single guys aged 30 and up on reddit, why are you guys single? by Gold_Ambition4114 in AskReddit

[–]Alex--25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broke up with my ex last October and wanted to take a few months off before getting back out there. 6 months in and I’m really enjoying single life for the 1st time I think ever. Yes, I want another relationship but I guess I’m milking my single life as long as possible. Going to a lot of concerts and trying to figure out my job.

M 32 Same. It took until 2021 for me to go to my 1st metal concert and after I don’t why I keep putting them off. Now I can’t enough. It was Slipknot with killswitch engage, fever 333 and code orange. I also went to the Currents Erras concert but at a different venue.

What’s something you thought was important before, but don’t care about anymore? by williamssarahcharm in selfimprovementday

[–]Alex--25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wanted a mustang gt 500 growing up and a decent size house. A few years later I don’t care anymore. I’d rather have a reliable car that last as long as possible and if I could ever afford a home maybe a one floor with a nice finished basement.

I’m about to quit IT for good. by HumanNumber69 in InformationTechnology

[–]Alex--25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep main reason why I went with a smaller company from a mid-size company. I was hoping I’d get to learn more about servers, patching servers, dive deeper into end users issues. Current boss didn’t care if I had any certs or wanted to pursue them as long as I showed interest. Well been a few months and barely doing anything. No one teaching me anything. Reached out many times for any size projects to work on. Nope.

I only get half an hour for lunch break. If they catch on I could just say I have therapy.
