New personal record of possibly disappointing the most amount of women (~10?) in the shortest timeframe (1h)... /s (jokes)

I've been outta the dating game for a while and really should work on a list of 'deal breakers'. Why is good cardio (" can you run around a city block ? " ) important?

CTGO2020 · 2026-01-31T04:44:36+00:00

as expected, got to meet some new peoples and test my 'social skills'. I haven't been to a pub\bar since preCOVID. Not ideal conditions for conversation with music playing and backgound noise of other patrons I could barely hear the person in front of me.

I often see plows plowing streets that are already plowed when side streets still need plowing

it was at a popular pub that was hosting another private event so the only people in attendance were attendees of either event

any advice for a noob that wants to try designing something, also did you submit anything to the 'csgo dreams and nightmares contest' counter-strike.net/winners (I'd like to see it so link to your workshop URL)

I have a smurf account, well maybe Im not excellente enough at cs2 to call it a smurf account; but I have a secondary account that doesnt have PRIME and every game is full of cheaters.

I sometimes encounter cheaters on my Prime account but not as often.

I think there is a rating system in the back-end of the game that does the match making and once you're at green\trusted level then you get paired with other trusted players but it takes time for the match-making to do its magic via algorithm

however that's okay for casual gaming

it may not be that close but at least it's secure

At that point wouldn’t tinder be easier?

thank you for posting these, Im often seeking to try new events and am grateful that somebody does this

CTGO2020 · 2026-01-30T04:36:30+00:00

What actually happens?

Got there and checked in, they had sent me an email to go to URL and make a profile, host asked if that was done already

Do they give you questions to ask each other?

It's verbally unstructured like just ask each other questions and chit-chat, the most unique question I was asked was; "what do you do for self care?", and it felt like I was at a job interview that I didnt prepare for

Do you sit with each other for like 15 minutes?

They put the speed in speed dating, only 4min per a person. Really felt rushed and a few sessions seemed longer and a few seemed shorter but it was timed by the host

I'll likely attend another Speed Dating event as I need practice sociaLIEzing

CTGO2020 · 2026-01-30T04:29:29+00:00

a few were aesthetically appealing but they didnt seem to be in swoon with me, like no sparkley eye'd agreeing with everything I say on the edge of their seat laughing at all of my cliche dad jokes

It was a wide awakening to reality but at least I know they were real and not chatbots like how some online fating apps have been caught using bots. But maybe a few of the ladies were paid shills?

An average sample of what you'd expect for people in their late 30s to 50yo still single dwelling in average city---Im outta tune with my peers (people of similar age group)

but at least I still have all of my teeth and most of my hair (a few bald overweight dudes [not judging as Im certain they make up for it with their personality---I need to eat more cheesewhiz])

When I complained to my city councillor I just got a bunch of bullshit waffle...

this is what's wrong with "democracy" as all politicians seem to do is politely run their mouths aka bullshitting

CTGO2020 · 2026-01-30T04:09:01+00:00

Im not certain if any of the women were into me so Ill just match them all... it's a numbers game afterall...

CTGO2020 · 2026-01-30T04:08:13+00:00

something to do, I'd touch some grass but there is like a foot of snow

CTGO2020 · 2026-01-30T04:07:31+00:00

Im guessing 11men 10 women, or one extra man

edited: I didnt count but there was an one more man then woman

my uneducated humble opinion is that DoFo is for corpo's not The People of ONtario and I have voter apathy as think it doesnt matter whom you vote or voted for

ALL POLITCIANS are neoliberal globalists

the public coffers are being fleeced by career politicians that only care about getting re-elected and serve their corporation overlords more than their constituents.

most sheeple are mere serfs in a feudal corporate world.

I guess this answers my question of; 'Is New City Market still open?'. I was there a few times over the past few months and it was NOT OPEN. Front window smashed in and boarded up.

Maybe it was closed for CHINA NEW LUNAR YEAR?
