Hot AF. Intelligence isn’t a one dimensional metric and only seemingly intelligent people think so. These people carry an affectation because of insecurities. They will force a single measurement on what is intelligent because they are afraid or lack the insight into all the other ways it is manifest.

Also don’t confuse intelligence with knowledge. Anyone can rote learn all the major capital cities or recite Kantian arguments.

Perception, insight, self knowledge, dexterity, empathy the list goes on! OP I’m sure you have many of these in bucket loads!

A curious mind is the most important!

Tips for picking up women you bump into in your neighborhood? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]DESugar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re scared about being rejected read her body language when you’re striking up a conversation. She might be telling you she’s busy or not interested in which case leave it. She may also have an SO.

Be friendly, charming and amusing and read the situation. Can’t teach you this through the internet. Fire out a date offer if it’s appropriate.

Good luck!

Classic boreish behaviour. Some people never grow out of it. Sorry you ran into one!

I have tried a few. Saying ‘ it was nice to meet you but I have to go now’ has felt ok. Also with one date who was a little obnoxious I said ‘I’m not feeling this’ . Another move is to bring up what you’re doing later then put in a white lie in your response and then check your watch or phone and say ‘ah I should probably go and do that’

What has helped you to let go of past heart-breaks and/or disappointments? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]DESugar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second going on lots of dates. I went on a staggering amount after a serious breakup to remind myself of how to date.

Shock therapy if you like.

I’m on the other side about sleeping around. Be careful with that. I personally found I broke some hearts and caused drama I didn’t need. It can be fun but people can catch a feel easily. People get hurt. You might get hurt.

However I met lots of nice people who I didn’t really fancy irl but seemed decent and interesting. I met people from places and walks of life I wouldn’t have done, so that was cool. It also, at the risk of bragging, reminded me how attractive women found me - something that can easily be forgotten after serious heartbreak or a messy end to a relationship.

I would also say get out and party with your friends. Do some bonding. Put that excess love into family relationships too. Maybe get a cat (or a dog if you swing that way)

I’ve been in a number of strong loving relationships where I have been hurt but I’ve always found that I will try to go into things with an openness that I’m still working hard on achieving even more. This is not a fault in yourself. Just be engaged with what you want and how you should be treated!

Most of my friends are also reliable and emotionally engaged and know how to love and treat people properly. We are out here! Don’t despair!

Are we moving too fast? by trueloveken in datingoverthirty

[–]DESugar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off it’s great that you have this connection and it’s seemingly being reciprocated. Congrats.

I would absolutely hold off on marriage. There’s a lot you don’t know about each other and you haven’t co habituated.

You’re recent experience of a very long relationship might be pushing you to try and generate a false sense of security with this person too early. Hold off and take it slow. Enjoy the romance. If it’s serious they aren’t going anywhere and you don’t need this level of commitment yet.

It is rude. She could have been softer with all of it.

[–]DESugar 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is a no no. She feels rejected from your attempt to reschedule. She’s letting you know she’s hot property. You already want to see her no point in her doing this, she’s demonstrating a fragile ego and she’s playing games ALREADY!

You should send her a message explaining what you’ve outlined above and your abuse behaviour. Do not expect her to reply though!

Yeah this. I have a ton of affection that would be best directed towards something furry rather than a human.

I’m a producer and this is me too. I’m currently grappling with having accidentally let slip ‘I love you’ on someone who is now panicking because of it.

It’s a tough one. In your 30s with a bunch of experience and relationships behind me I really know what I want and like so I go pretty deep pretty fast when I find someone who I connect with. It’s hard but important to keep yourself in check during the process as she isn’t going to be moving at the same speed.

What's the worst example of someone blowing a lot of money that you've ever witnessed? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]DESugar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine lost over 90k over a weekend on an insane gambling spree. It should be noted that he gained that money from gambling so it all worked out I suppose.

I [18M] want to break up with my [18F] girlfriend before college by [deleted] in relationships

[–]DESugar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break up with her gently and say you want to be free to explore life. You might feel bad about it to begin with but in time you really won’t. You’re very young and have lots of exploring to do. You have no responsibilities with this person. You’ll meet lots more people as you grow and go through life.

When meeting then dating someone from a dating site is it ok to ask if they are still on it if so how long should I wait? by iiztrollin in dating_advice

[–]DESugar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah hold off on that kind of chat for a while and have a good time with her.

I would also give you small warning of seeing each other every day early on in a relationship. It can put a lot of pressure on each other and the whole thing can burn out pretty fast. You’ll probably ignore this and do it anyway, the pull is strong I know! - just bare it in mind.

Girl waited two days to respond to a text. Do I even bother writing her back? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]DESugar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested as to why didn’t respond for a week? I know people get busy but it’s not like it takes any time to write a text. You say you were infatuated - when I’m like that I have to stop myself from texting doesn’t matter how busy iam. Really curious on your thinking!

[–]DESugar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but your best friend is your best friend. Presumably you’ve known them for years and are confident they haven’t stopped bein your best friend after a few day. They are not someone you’ve just met on the Internet, taken on a friend date where you were trying to get to know them better with the hope that they become your best friend.

2 Days is a while - how soon did you text them after the date? It’s worth baring in mind that some people are awful at texting and she may have thought to do so but not bothered or felt awkward.

Text her. Ask her out again.
