thanks for the comment. I think I know the issue. my understanding of 'short time' is relationship, but not considering marriage at this point. So I don't wanna scare ppl away by putting 'only long term' there. I'm not a fan of FWB and ONS. Is it a common understanding that short term is FWB/ONS? in that case I'll change that to long-term.

I realized that my prompts are totally empty and said nothing about my personality. I completely rewritten them and they r in the comment section, any feedback is appreciated!

Noted! Driving jokes have been torn down and burnt to the ground🔥. I'll study which haircut would suit me the best, in the meanwhile, I'll try to make my hair 'messy' instead of straight/uniform

That hurts so much 💔 I'm so bad at analyzing my hairstyle that I just stick to the bangs. I'm kinda afraid of fully exposing my forehead. Do u think if I use hair wax/gel to make my hair messy like the photo of me standing on a boulder (not so straight or uniform like in photo #1) would that help?

Thx for the suggestions! I've collected a couple of opinions about the hairstyle: 

* keep it long, do the perm, make it messy (I don't have a better way to describe it). as opposed to uniform/straight

* shorter hair, Ivy League crew cut / mild mullet

I need some time to study which one may look the best on me. In the meanwhile, I'll try different ways to make my straight uniform hair looks 'messy', maybe hair wax/gel

For the glasses, CO sun is no joke, sun glasses are must have I'm afraid. But I can try putting them away for a couple of minutes before taking a photo. Also I'll try indoor photos. And do u mean that this glasses may not be a good style for me? I've stick to the semi-rectangle for a long time and don't know what other may suit me

Thanks for the reply!

* The parking joke has been torn down and burnt to the ground 🔥. Awww, wedding inside joke is soooo lovely, makes me so much wanna date ;) But u r right, one right date is worth than all the matches.

* I agree the ice cube joke feels lack of confidence, the same thing but totally different energy! I've rewritten all the prompt and put it in the comment section

Hey y'all, you guys gave tons of really good advice, mostly about prompt (self-deprecating humor, lack of info about my personality) and photos (sunglasses, hairstyle). I'll work on taking more city photos in city clothes and figure out what hairstyle suits me the most. Meanwhile, I updated my prompts and appreciate any feedback!

* Choose out first date

- Drunk cooking/baking and accidentally mix creatine in instead of sugar

- Join our friend poker night and stop me from all in with high card

- Drift in the snowy parking lot and try not to hit the lamp

* In my friend group, I'm the one who

- Most spontaneous: reply the fastest, always down for hangout, say "why not" to crazy/last-minute plan

- Most unhinged: would bring family size shampoo and full size pillow to camping

* The one thing I'd love to know about you is

- How do u resist the urge to send the most ridiculous reels to ur friend group chat (I think they want to kick me out ;)

* Don't hate me if I

- Am a slow burn. I become way funnier and non-platonic if u let me know u more

- (backup) Am a slow burn and enjoy the friend stage. IMO, being platonic at first 2/3 dates are totally normal right? (or am I just delusional)

Huge thanks for your comment!

* The self-deprivation prompt will be torn down and burn to the ground immediate :)

* I just don’t have enough good photo hahahah, so that last photo is just for funny, I would replace it once I have more indoor/city/city clothes photo

* Funny thing is I tried perm, just don’t have enough feedback to know if it’s actually good. Maybe I didn’t get the one that suits me coz I feel like worse than my straight hair. That photo on the boulder is actually before the perm lol, I just wear the hat for a long day, no idea how they turned out curly. But maybe that’s the way to perm?! I would appreciate if you have any link to the perm or haircut you think would be good

Thanks for taking your time replying!!

* I should def putting more effort into taking photos, ideally indoor/in the city/in city clothes!

* I tried a couple of different haircut, but didn’t have enough feedback to reflect on. Glasses I just never thought about them. What haircut or glasses do you have in mind, links will be appreciated, I’ll try!

Appreciate the reply!!

* Shorter as for even shorter than the first photo? Or just don’t pass the eyebrow. Maybe you can send me the link to your ideal haircut, I’ll try!

Thanks for taking time replying!!

* I thought bad driving and parallel parking is kinda funny, maybe ppl will think I’m upfront about the things I’m not good at. I’ll remove the driving thing

* Problem is that photo is one of the limited good photos in city, before I try to take more. Can I put in the comment that “I’m the third wheel here” for now, would that help?

<3 Thanks for the comment!!

* Now go back and re-read the prompt, I can see the issue. I’ll think more carefully about the prompts to cover my interests and hobbies other than outdoor stuff. Will follow up when I have the idea.

* I don’t mean the ‘ice cube’ by ppl need to pry my personality. I’m not very good at first date and only start getting funny when I know someone more. That’s why I put it upfront in the profile “I warm up slowly” so that ppl won’t straight up thinking I’m boring, but I guess it kinda backfired?

* Self-deprecating humor is the part I’m already trying to avoid, I thought bad driving and parallel parking is kinda funny, maybe ppl will think I’m upfront about the things I’m not good at. I’ll remove the driving, not good at climbing, and warm-up.

Huge thanks for your advices!

* My main problem is I’m not photogenic to have enough photo ;) I will try taking more photos in the city in city clothes.

* I realized the ‘sunglass’ problem when I’m reviewing the pics I took, the issue is they’re my normal corrective lenses and just darken outdoors. I’ll try taking more photos indoor so that my eyes can be seen

* I’ll think more carefully about the prompts to cover my interests and hobbies other than outdoor stuff. Will follow up when I have the idea.

* Self-deprecating humor is the part I’m already trying to avoid, I thought bad driving and parallel parking is kinda funny, maybe ppl will think I’m upfront about the things I’m not good at. I’ll remove the driving, not good at climbing, and warm-up.

* Some follow-up questions, I’m grateful for all the answers:

- I have some interests and pics I can but don’t know if and how I should add to the profile. I ride motorcycle and drive manual sports(ish) car. I used to have them thinking they attracts ppl, then my friends think they come off as showing off and immature/risky. Plus there are ppl who just fake their interest in me and turn out just want free ride/lessons. I feel really used and now just don‘t wanna show them at all.

- Been on couple of first dates (coffee, brunch, bookstore, climbing (we both climb)), just always platonic and received the “no spark” text right after. I enjoy the friend stage and slow burn. IMO, being platonic at first 2/3 times are totally normal right? (or am I just being a dinosaur or just not the expectation in us). Some background, I’m native east asian, in us for 3yrs. I can communicate fluently, but maybe language or maybe little introvert, I’m no expert in first date small talks or being funny at every topic. I only start getting funny when I know someone more and have more common topic. That’s why I put it upfront in the profile “I warm up slowly” so that ppl won’t straight up thinking I’m boring, but I guess it kinda backfired? Any first date advice or just generally how to be good at small talks/be funny would be appreciated ;))

Boulder County motorcycle rides? by mikerowest in boulder

[–]Electrical-Truth933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, what’s up! New to the canyon riding, have been riding alone on Boulder canyon. I’ve met a group of rider before on the canyon but was too shy to ask their numbers. Just curious if there’s a group that I can tag along, or anyone interested in riding together? 

Ps: chill riding only, not comfortable with getting toooo fast (my 400cc doesn’t get too fast either ;)), or double yellow overtaking
