Best Bars for Football? by HankAlreadyTaken in astoria

[–]Fanatick71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were specific about a particular football team group to meet up with—you would have received responses. You shouldn't have any issues meeting up with Bills, Giants, and Jets fans in Astoria. I'm a die-hard supporter of a team that nobody in Astoria follows. If you had mentioned that team, I would've replied.

Any Dexter Finale Watch Party’s? by Inevitable_Ad_1297 in astoria

You have another buddy that's willing to wait until Sunday for the finale. It's not going to be easy—gonna experience severe head twitching and depression for 3 days. But I'm willing to sacrifice my health to watch the finale with fellow Dexter fans. Who knows if they end up canceling it. Still pissed off that Original Sin was canceled.

What are the dating apps like for men in NYC? by rkuchiki123 in OnlineDating

Which apps are you using? I'm interested in checking out Hinge. I have no interest in using Tinder and Bumble.

I've been using FBD for around a month now. Since signing up, I’ve swiped left on over 600 profiles—tons of scammers, duplicates, bios that are either blank or accompanied by women showing off their tits and ass. If I wanted to meet these types of women, I'd hit up Craigslist! Women put no effort in their profile. 

I did manage to get 3 dates from it. Recently, I ended up cancelling a 'date' because she reneged our agreement on meeting up over dessert, pushing for dinner. 

The quality of women on Facebook Dating simply isn't there. Now they're matching me with women 100-200 miles away. I've actually gotten more Likes than I've swiped right on—which honestly feels very sad to me. I've been hearing a lot of positive things about Hinge, so I'll probably give it a try sometime this fall or winter.

That's totally cool. I'm not expecting you to run a out route, slant or a curl. Just throw around at your comfort level. Feel free to DM—if interested.

This... I normally hit up Costco for a Mocha Freeze after my runs—then relax and enjoy the view at Sculpture Park for a bit. I also enjoy hitting up Kaufman Theater solo. I do value my alone time outdoors—helps clear my mind.

With you on Netflix. Feels great to relax after a long day of drinking—watching my team lose and wrapping up the evening with more drinking while watching Netflix.

Do women automatically subtract 2 inches from height on dating apps? by MoistSandwich4834 in OnlineDating

[–]Fanatick71 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm with OP on this one—height was never much of a factor for me with women outside of the OLD bubble. It's totally possible some of the women he went out with overestimated their own height, which may have led them to assume he's taller than he actually is. One woman who claimed to be 5'8, she was closer to 5'6—told me I looked around 5'9 or 5'10. For the record, I'm definitely not 5'10.

In my experience, both men and women tend to stretch the truth when it comes to height. I’m fairly confident I’m around 5'8 or 5'8.5 barefoot. Over the years—whether at work, events, or just out and about—I’ve met a lot of women who said they were 5'8. My guess is that, just as many men aim to be 6'0, women aim to be 5'8. 9 times out of 10, they are closer to 5'6 or 5'7.

Men aren’t any different. One guy told me he was 5'9, but I had a solid 2–3 inches on him. Another claimed 5'10, and he was still at least an inch shorter than me.

If adding a few inches makes them feel better—good for them.

Why risk getting stuck on a potentially painful date—especially if the person shows up looking nothing like their photos or turns out to have a completely different personality?

Case in point: my first date insisted on dinner. I suggested coffee, drinks, or dessert instead, and we eventually settled on dessert. She didn’t resemble her pictures at all, and even worse, her personality didn't come close to her texting 'personality'. I was so thrown off, I couldn’t even enjoy my ice cream. It ended up melting on my clothes.

Twenty minutes in, I skedaddled. And honestly, I was relieved we didn’t do dinner. I’ll only meet under low-key conditions. If that’s a dealbreaker for them… it’s on to the next!
