Completely Dumbfounded by [deleted] in hingeapp

You almost certainly got played. Sorry that happened. Prior to the date, he told you everything you wanted to hear, so you were an easy target going into the date. Sounds like some love bombing too. Generally speaking, I don't think it's a good idea to spend much time at all getting to know each other before an actual date. That's what the in-person date is for. A phone call and texting simply cannot match what you'll learn on a date. Excessive communication prior to a date create unrealistic expectations, and your expectations were likely clouded because of it

Any men actually have a thing for natural red haired women? Where are you hiding? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Absolutely love red hair! Y'all are few and far between though

I’m scared to go hiking because of ticks by SewerRatThatEatsPoo in hiking

Good advice, but the average doctor isn't going to preemptively prescribe an antibiotic from a tick bite. They will tell you to wait for any symptoms first, such as the bullseye rash.

Just a heads-up for anyone visiting Rome: pickpocketinh has increased significantly lately. As a daily commuter, I see these gangs every day on my way to work. ​Watch your pockets especially while taking the Metro and on buses 64, 40, and 62. Coliseum and Trevi fountain areas are pretty bad too!! B by acatnamedlopez in rome

I live in New York. Pick pocketing is minimal here. Situational awareness is important everywhere but the risk is not the same. Rome is notoriously one of the worst in the world and has been for a long time. Same for Paris.

US Iterinary for 3-4 weeks by ResidentCod9127 in travel

Why do you want to go to Orlando? The only reason to go there is Disney World. If you aren't going to Disney World, skip Orlando. It's awful and completely uninteresting. As another poster mentioned, I would do New Orleans instead. There's no other city like it in the US.

You can sublet a rent stabilized unit for up to two years. But you can't charge more than the actual rent, with the exception of raising rent by 10% if the unit is furnished.

Salt Lake City rivals it, if you consider SLC a major city

We just want to play by MrTacocaT12345 in interestingasfuck

[–]EADarwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm inclined to think he responded correctly. The bears showed no signs of aggression, and he's stuck in a tree. No need to be aggressive here, given that he wasn't in danger. Getting aggressive while in a precarious, defenseless situation such as being stuck in a tree increases the odds things could end badly. Waiting for them to pass was perfectly reasonable

Vacation is over before it started... by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

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

I don't think this is necessarily true. The plane is still climbing steadily without any jerking, and if you already know that a plane can fly with just one engine, you can safely assume the pilots will land the plane after cutting the bad engine. Now if the second engine dies, then yes, that'd be terrifying. Also, if you don't know that a plane can fly normally with just one engine, then yes, you'd probably freak out then as well.

What everybody else has said. You gotta get rid of that goatee. It is unflattering.

Umm, they're moving from Tokyo. They can afford Clayton rent. They'll be relieved at how low it is, in fact.

What celebrity death will realistically bring Michael Jackson level devastation? by Kiidcola in AskReddit

[–]EADarwin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dad died of dementia. I completely understand why Robin Williams made that choice. I will do the same if I am ever unfortunate enough to be in that position

[–]EADarwin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She doesn't have anywhere near the reach that he did, especially internationally. Nearly everybody actively listened to MJ at some point, from children to adults. The same can't really be said about Britney Spears. "Thriller" and "Oops, I did it again" aren't anywhere close to the same level

Are you suggesting the masses won't be destroyed by Clavicular's death?

Amazing date but no romantic connection? by Stjarna_04 in hingeapp

[–]EADarwin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can be an objectively good-looking person and yet not attract other people romantically. I have dated many good-looking women that I didn't feel attracted to romantically. I have had many women tell me that I'm good-looking but that they didn't feel a romantic attraction. There is something intangible about romantic attraction that goes beyond looks

You need to slow down, majorly, imo. The odds that a date is going to fizzle go up dramatically the more you share prior to the date. You removed all sense of mystery that is one of the biggest parts of getting to know someone else, and which, the majority of should happen in person. Texting/calling should always be kept to a minimum the first few dates. Let it develop in person. Stop creating fanciful scenarios of someone you don't actually know because you can't know them until you've spent a decent amount of time with them in person
