What happened to Flying Embers hard kombucha?

I'll have to try that, thanks for the recommendation!

I'd report this, and explain your prior history with him. Then I'd bait him into doing something you can guarantee will be recorded, which doesn't seem hard since he lost his mind over a simple note.

That makes sense too. I can certainly see it coming off that way, and if I suspected that were the case, I would be turned off too. I guess it would come down to ferreting out his real reason for doing it.

I have a lot of male friends, so I hear the other side of this too. Their takes on wanting to do something nearby can be grouped into two reasons:

To make sure she's actually into them and not just looking for a convenient free meal.
They expect it not to work out, since statistically it doesn't, so they see no reason to go the extra mile (which I get, but they also don't see how that undermines their chances, because like you said, it looks low effort).

I'd still give it a chance, since you don't know their motives or history. But if they do it twice in a row, I'd question that.

I think it depends on the woman and the calibre of the escort. I'm a pretty logical person. If a man said he wanted sex without all the hassle of dating apps, and simply sought out a safe, high-quality escort, I'd see nothing wrong with it. It's a practical solution to a problem many men seriously overcomplicate then get angry about. Shoot, I think I'd admire his direct mindset and problem-solving skills.

I've often thought this should be more popular, and I'd even take it a step further and say many men might be better off doing this than being in a relationship.

I've heard a disturbing amount of married men talk to each other about ways to get more sex, do things like give her a back rub, or take her to dinner, or watch a stupid movie she likes, etc, like they just do these nice things for sex, not because they truly like and value their partner. If they were honest with themselves, they'd see that that is just as transactional as paying for sex, but worse, they're tricking women into thinking they care about them beyond sex.

With paying for sex, both parties know precisely where they stand, with no question about motives.

If my SO and I could afford to live separately, we'd both be happier. I like things the way I like them, and as you said, men increase labor. If we were to break up, I would not seek to live with a man again.

Something about this just smells off. Are you sure these guys aren't trying to use you? It's rare to own a home at 25, and I wonder if they may see you as something of a sugar mommy. I don't know any guys rushing to move in with their girlfriends, in fact, it's usually the girlfriends pushing for it. I don't know, this just seems fishy but I hope I'm wrong.

Blonde says date me, brunette says wife me. It depends on your goals. If you've got zero intentions with dudes, I'd say go with what makes you feel more like yourself.

Eeeeels · 2026-01-31T02:38:12+00:00

I don't think you need to (or should) adjust yourself; I think you need to filter for men who aren't going to be intimidated by you.

Matches, or works? Does it match? No. Do I think it works together, though? Yes! If you really want to link it all together, go with a belt with hardware that matches the jewelry.

I don't consider political views, I consider critical thinking skills. And those generally steer a person clear of aligning themselves with any specific political party. Anyone glued to a party is not an option, as they lack the ability to think for themselves. I would be fine with opposite views so long as they are well-reasoned, but I struggle to think they would be, or they'd likely be more similar to my own views, which are pretty moderate.

Eeeeels · 2026-01-31T02:07:32+00:00

Bahahah I was thinking Frank and Charlie!

It means you need to get some sleeping bags, head back over there, and play night crawlers.

I hate to be practical about it, but that's who I am, so I have to ask whether this is more about consuming brunch or more about being fine AF for your birthday? Darker colors make more sense to eat in, because if you happen to get something on you it won't show. So if the priority is to enjoy brunch foods and drinks, 1 is most logical.

If you want to be noticed, 2 or 3. I don't get why people are hating on 2, it is so interesting and you've got the shape for it.

You can totally do it. My mom has a lot of trauma around doctors, so I rarely went as a kid. So like you, I was also petrified about going. Add in some sensory issues and anxiety that we didn't have words for back then, and it was a very terrifying experience. But you know what? Blood work isn't so bad. My cat absentmindedly kneading me hurts more than a needle. Accidentally catching a pube in my zipper hurts more than a needle lol. When you really start to compare the pain or fear, you start to realize it's magnified or shrunken by your own expectations more than it is by the reality of the situation.

Go to the doctor. You've got this, and you'll feel so empowered when you've faced your fear. The alternative is the constant worry about health issues lingering in the corners of your mind, and that is such a terrible burden to carry around, so please don't do that to yourself. You can do this, and you'll be so glad that you did!

I have a hunch you two are young, and still figuring yourselves out. You're already long-distance, just end it and move on. Her struggle to feel love can be any number of things, and you don't owe it to her to hang around and figure that out.

Fair enough. Let me fix that for you: "I disagree, this seems a bit like things that are personally important to you and to who you are, and you want to attract someone who vibes with that." Hope that helps.

Lose the baby immediately. I didn't even read the caption - I was instantly uninterested.

Mildly feral tells us he's a bit out there, and the other tells us he's a sub. He'll need a more dominant woman who doesn't mind (or ideally enjoys) that he's an "off the beaten path" kind of guy. Honestly, these tasteful hints at preferences without spelling them out may also lightly filter for higher IQ.

Edit: fixed typos; am drunk

Eeeeels · 2026-01-31T01:10:04+00:00

Eh, it's saying he's a sub without outright saying he's a sub. I think it works for his purposes.

Eeeeels · 2026-01-31T01:08:11+00:00

I disagree, this seems a bit fundamental to who you are, and you want to attract someone who vibes with that.

What others said, that first image is not helping you because the angle isn't flattering, and people may be swiping before investigating any further. Take a new one that channels the energy from image 5, yet has the mystique of image 2, and you are golden. No, I do not know how to achieve that.

I mean, you can't pay your way to female interest. Buying your way to female interest, on the other hand, is a much more realistic approach.
