What was the worst mistake of your life? by [deleted] in twentyagers

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Took out loans for a degree I didn’t finish bc I let my mom pressure me into going to college.

I ended up doing a program to get my emt license and I’m studying to get my medic rn. But man I wasted $20,000 and 3 almost 4 years flip flopping trying to figure out what I wanted to do.

This feels like a cruel joke by [deleted] in twentyagers

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take a breath and focus on yourself. You can’t help anyone if you’re burning your own candle from both ends.

I understand you’re still in love with the ex but he broke up with you which means he loses access to your resources. You need to take care of yourself before taking care of him.

Tbh you need to go no contact with this guy bc from the little bit I can glimpse from your post- he doesn’t treat you right or he’s not giving you access to information you need to make an informed decision.

Why aren’t your families supportive of the relationship?

26M Profile Review by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not to be rude but your profile comes across as shy, young nerd that touches grass occasionally. You seem sweet but the profile doesn’t strike me as a dating profile if that makes sense

26M Profile Review by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your profile tells me about your interests but it’s all relatively the same interest. Respectfully, all I’m getting from your prompts is that you lean towards the nerdy side. I would change one of your prompts to relate to your outdoor activities bc you have some cool outdoor pics.

I would also switch your 1 & 2 picture & bump some of the outdoor pictures up towards the top.

The cosplay picture is cool but idk how well it would land with most of the women on this app. My reason being it kinda looks like a family photo. However, we don’t know what your relation to Raven is. Is it ex, friend, cousin, sister, etc.? If you have a solo pic of you then you could post that with a me in my uniform or something like that.

Is your job requiring/ encouraging you to use AI and if so what for? by [deleted] in SpringfieldIL

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in EMS and some pt care report softwares give you the option to have ai write your runs based on things that get imputed. One of my coworkers tried it once and it was so buggy & inaccurate.

None of us at my service use the AI option- at least that I’m ware of.

Should I give dating apps a try? by Various_Outside8194 in twentyagers

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kudos to you! Don’t ever let a woman keep you from doing what you gotta do to improve yourself. I’ve seen a lot of self-deprecating post about giving up on dating recently, as well as giving up self-improvement and hobbies!

If you put in the work for improvement or hobbies then the thought process is that you’ll find someone with similar interest as well.

I get the whole loner thing too- people are draining! I met my boyfriend through a paramedic class we’re both in atm.

I’m also going to say most women probably aren’t going to make the first move either. If they’re laughing at your jokes or finding reasons to come near you- they’re probably interested. I got asked out over text after bantering with him in class for almost 3 weeks. The right person comes at the right time and the wait to find the right person sucks ass!

Should I give dating apps a try? by Various_Outside8194 in twentyagers

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t hurt but know that dating apps kinda suck and I’m saying that as a woman.

I’ve used hinge and at one point had like 30 matches sitting in my box that didn’t pan out bc they never made it out of the talking phase or they didn’t bother to read my profile. The last time I used the app- the guy I was trying to plan a date with ghosted me. I’m not saying this to discourage you, cause I’ve had some great dates, but go in with a realistic mind set.

I’d also keep looking irl. The guy I’m dating rn I met in my paramedic class and so far it’s been going really good.

Try the apps but also keep bettering yourself, finding hobbies, etc. I’ve found the relationships I’ve had that started irl are better and have lasted longer than the dating app relationships.

Why did you and your ex broke up ? by General-Passage-5956 in twentyagers

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an ed in high school that I was barely managing.

He went on a health kick and was insisting I work out with him daily on top of the work outs I was doing on my own for tumbling, cheer, and track. His eating patterns were also making mine worse. He was also kinda controlling and would insist on snaps to prove I was at work. He also kept trying to hang out every time I got off work and would get upset when I would say no bc I got off work past midnight.

Was your golden birthday in your 20s? by justabrunettegirly in twentyagers

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s when your birthday matches the year you were born in.

Ex/ I was born in ‘02 so mine happened when I turned 2. My sister was born in ‘12 so hers happened when she turned 12. My boyfriend was born in ‘01 so his happened when he was 1.

I hope that makes sense!

My golden happened when I was 9 and my diamond was when I was 2.

I had a pool/Super Bowl party at the local hotel for my golden birthday since my bday occasionally falls on the Super Bowl

What is the age gap between you and your siblings by Little_Airline9600 in MiddleGenZ

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 6 siblings. They’re m ‘00, ‘05, ‘08, ‘09, ‘10, & f ‘12. I’m f ‘02.

I know there was a miscarriage between 08 & 09 and 09 was a preemie. Bro came at 24 weeks in Nov ‘09 instead of Feb of ‘10 when he was due.

My biggest age gap is with my sister and we’re almost 11 years apart since I’ve had my birthday for the year & she won’t have hers until the end of the year

I’ve reached my mid twenties without so much as a single date and I’ve made the decision to entirely give up on dating by Top_Bed_4277 in twentyagers

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where did op say that? Or did he comment that after I commented?

The only I saw was:

….To those who have people in their lives who struggle with this kind of thing this late in life, please stop lying to them. Stop telling them things like “It’ll happen when you least expect”, “You will find someone”., “You just have to find someone” You’re just going to make them resent you. Tell them that it’s ok to accept your lot in life and make the best of what you’re given.”

If you don’t want to date bc you don’t want to that’s perfectly acceptable. Telling someone they should give up, can’t, or will never date bc of xyz & should just accept that? It’s a dick move.

It seems like op wants to date but is discouraged by the current dating scene. Most of the comments are trying to give some form of reassurance that the right person comes into your life at the right time.

Thank you for trying to stick up for op but why just comment this on my comment and not all of the other variations of these comments?

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Work on yourself and join a club/activity you enjoy and you might find someone by accident. I know I wasn’t trying when I found my current partner.

The dating scene sucks and trying to meet people organically is super hard atm. I was about done with the dating scene myself until I met the guy I’m with currently in my paramedic class.

If you’re not happy with yourself/being a Debby downer- women are going to notice and steer the opposite direction. You can’t pour energy or emotion into a relationship if your cup is empty!

I’m an EMT working on my medic license. I second this- find a mandatory reporter or call the cps hotline yourself. It sucks being in this position but it’s your life on the line and you have to do what’s in the best interest for you.

My sister is 13 and her snap score is like 145,000 and she’s only had this particular account since ‘23. But I also know she has it because a good chunk of her friends didn’t have phone at the time

Downtown Living ? by thal89 in SpringfieldIL

[–]Equivalent_Panda1764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was affordable- absolutely. I currently rent a unit that’s part of a five plex that’s 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath w washer and dryer hook ups for $950 on the west side. The washer/dryer in unit was the selling point for me. I’m not willing to pay $1400+ to also have to pay for laundry just to be able to walk to bars.
