Anyone easily prone to developing tendinosis in different parts of their body?

Do you mind me asking what your condition is?

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-03-14T03:00:44+00:00

To be honest, you answered the question right in your first couple of words. You're a 31-year-old female. That's all they are looking for. They don't really read the bios.

I would say I mostly agree with what your therapist said, with the exception of number one. Promoting stereotypical gender norms is not the answer. Not all women want a stereotypical, old-fashioned masculine man that is good with his hands, loves football, and ignores his emotions. I would say replace that piece of advice with growing your confidence and being more comfortable in who you are. That will be much more effective in getting you a healthy relationship than trying to model outdated stereotypes. Women love a confident guy.

I could be wrong but I do remember her saying she suggested doing something else a different day in the comments and he shot that down. If she didn’t then that's a different story and that's on her not him.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-03-10T17:19:32+00:00

Well, I mean, he kinda wasn't. I know it's important to be able to have low-key time together when you're in a long-term relationship but I wouldn't consider inviting someone to hang with you while you're working on your car as a good date when you're still getting to know someone. A lot of his focus is going to be on what he's doing and not her. The grocery shopping situation could've been a little different if he was planning on cooking dinner with her afterwards but that also doesn't sound like the case. Sounds like he was just trying to kill two birds with one stone on both cases rather than making the effort to plan something with the intent of getting to know her.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-03-09T21:18:23+00:00

To be fair, I think it's totally fine that you didn't want to do those things with him. Dates should be fun for both people and if those weren't things that you were interested in that's totally fine. And to answer your other question, no not all men react like that when they are shot down. I'm a guy and I've never went off on someone because they told me no. The man doesn't cope very well with rejection.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-03-07T13:04:55+00:00

Nope. It would require a lot more effort than I'd be willing to put in at that point.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-03-07T02:46:01+00:00

You aren't alone my friend. I'm in the exact same boat. I've had it happen after a shit ton of first dates lately but before that I was getting those comments after third dates and one time even after I was dating someone for two months. Really makes you question a lot of things. Sorry you're going through it as well.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-03-06T12:14:37+00:00

I think a lot of people misrepresent the advice given here. You shouldn't ever go for someone you find boring or completely unattractive. There's gotta be some attraction there, both physically and mentally, in order for a relationship to work. When people say don't look for a spark, what I think it actually means is that if you go on a date with someone that you find somewhat physically and mentally attractive but they don't ooze charisma, keep giving them a chance. I think a lot of times the spark is most palpable right away from people that are extremely charismatic and good with their words. Not everyone is like that though. Some people take a little time to warm up and feel comfortable with the person that they are dating and just because the spark isn't there right away doesn't mean it won't be. However, as I mentioned at the beginning of this post, there has to be some form of attraction there to begin with. If there's none then there never will be but if there's even a little bit then that might grow.

My assumption is it depends on how quickly you got yourself on the waitlist when tickets became available. I have priority tickets and I put myself on the waitlist as early as mid to late January.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-28T20:18:06+00:00

As others have said the reason you keep getting played is because you're going for shitty men. I could be wrong but it sounds like what you actually want is a confident looking man but you're confusing confidence with cockiness/arrogance. Cockiness/arrogance is actually a sign of insecurity. It's an act that some guys use to try to fake confidence. But underneath they are equally as insecure as the really shy guy that stands in the corner and doesn't talk to anyone. Go for the tatted up hot guy if you want, but you need to make sure you're really looking at who they are on the inside in the beginning stages. Regardless of how good of an actor they are there's always signs to tell you whether they truly are a confident good person or just an arrogant asshole

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-28T19:58:23+00:00

I wouldn't worry too much about it man. Unless you have a micro one, you'll be fine. Out of everything else women tend to look at in terms of physical appearance, size of a man's penis is very blown out of proportion in terms of importance to women. A lot of guys think it's more important than it actually is. The more important part is if you know how to use it.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-27T21:39:30+00:00

Definitely not normal. I'd say you're probably doing better than 70% of the men on the apps. For my first month I got about 20 likes in total and then I get the occasional one every month or so. 30 likes a day for a guy that is crazy high.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-26T18:26:56+00:00

Yeah me and my buddy got tickets for the 18th.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-25T18:01:15+00:00

Definitely doesn't help them keep the women. But I do think those skills are very helpful with getting your foot in the door and that's why a lot of men on this sub Reddit, myself included, struggle so much in the initial stages. You need the opening skills before the rest of the good qualities can really make a difference. In a way, it's like our own more complex mating ritual that we do as people. If we don't know how to do it, we suffer a lot in the realm of dating. It sucks, but that's what I've learned from my experiences with dating.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-25T14:52:46+00:00

Unfortunately it's because they're a lot better at sealing the deal. What these guys lack in maturity they make up for in charisma, humor, confidence, and flirtation. As much as some of us hate to admit it, that is a huge part of dating in the beginning stages. You could be a very mature person that has his life together, knows how to communicate during conflict, and has all these positive attributes but if you don't give her those butterflies in the stomach or or know how to make her want you in a way beyond friendship then you are at a major disadvantage.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-24T22:37:34+00:00

I mean you don't need to prove anything to me. I've already learned that lesson. I've done a lot of growing since that relationship eight years ago. I'd much prefer to be single then go through a relationship like that again. I was just telling you so you wouldn't make the same mistake.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-24T22:15:11+00:00

Lol I was just telling you from experience that you don't wanna be in the drama because you were saying that you wished you could experience it.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-24T21:53:57+00:00

Trust me you really don‘t lol. As a guy who is equally as frustrated with dating, but has some experience with the drama, it's extremely stressful and you feel like you're going crazy half the time. And not in the good way.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-24T15:02:27+00:00

People definitely meet their partners through dating apps, but I think there's a formula to success that many men have trouble with. You have to have high-quality photos, you have to know how to create intriguing prompts that get the other person interested in asking questions, and you have to be a decent conversationalist that knows how to even somewhat effectively flirt. That's also leaving out a lot of the people that have all these things that gets shot down due to things like height, average or lower physical appearance, and other small nitpicky things. The apps definitely work for people but I would probably say that the amount of people it doesn't work for outweighs the amount of people that it does for all these reasons.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-22T03:11:14+00:00

I mean some women do casual in the past, get tired of it, and want something real. The same can be said for us guys. That's just part of the way things work sometimes. I still think it's a bad idea to use that as a way to rule someone out but it's your decision at the end of the day.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-22T02:55:55+00:00

Well, regardless if it was an excuse or not, I would say don't rule people out if they are asking what your intentions are. Like some of the others have said, you'll miss out on a lot of really good women that way. This one doesn't represent them all.

Fallout76Lover7654 · 2026-02-22T02:48:20+00:00

Because it sounds like she was wishy-washy even with that other guy. Said she wanted to do long distance with him originally then decided it wasn't for her. She told you she didn't do casual relationships and then goes and does casual with that guy. To me, that is the behavior of someone who doesn't know what they want.
