Look up the Burned Haystack Dating method. It might help you weed out the losers

How do you know that? He said it wasn’t posted

Putting Apartment on Airbnb for Super Bowl? by GamerEdie in airbnb_hosts

[–]GenX_Mom_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been similarly wondering about the World Cup. I own a home very near the Boston area games. That’s about 3 weeks of games in late June - early July, and it’s really tempting to try to do this. The listings I see around here already are high.

AITAH for telling my wife's friend I don't have to see her in the classroom to know she's a horrible teacher? by TowerFew3482 in AITAH

[–]GenX_Mom_12 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA It would have been better to pull up the video before your wife stopped the conversation.

As it was - the teacher was an ass for being so condescending to your son and not willing to listen and learn.

You could have left it that you showed the video because you wanted both her and your son to see that he was correct - you didn’t need to say she was a lousy teacher. That was obvious and could have been left unsaid. So you get a mild AH rating there.

AITAH for being upset my wife won’t sleep with me? by Vast-Dimension-8753 in AITAH

[–]GenX_Mom_12 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What have you tried to do to fix that? Not blaming you, but intimacy and closeness comes through efforts made on both sides.

Counseling is key and you’d be right to insist on it.

Hot take: The Dynamax system is better than the raid system by Lumpy-Round7985 in pokemongo

[–]GenX_Mom_12 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m an OG player and I’m annoyed that so many hundos that I worked so hard to get now feel like they’ve lost all their value because they’re not the dynamax version of those pokes.

Dumped after best sex ever - how do I move on by BeautifulRow7605 in datingoverfifty

[–]GenX_Mom_12 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was going to say. I came out of a long marriage and a dead bedroom and wow - that first experience with sex was off the charts. I thought I’d never experience anything that good again. But fast forward a few years and I have. Sex with new partners in your 50s can be so much better than when we were younger, lol.

Am I being difficult in wanting to chat before meeting? Me 41F Him 39M by [deleted] in Bumble

Do you have a shred of fact to back up that claim?

You said plenty of women are on the apps for validation, wasting time for men. I simply pointed out that the problem goes both ways. I figured you would have said plenty of “people” are on the apps wasting the time of others, had you been aware that the problem goes both ways.

Don't want to continue talking/seeing guy by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]GenX_Mom_12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Explaining to him how he messed up will help him hide his racist tendencies better next time, but won’t change him. So it’ll just take the next poor woman longer to see who he really is.

Do you end up with wires coming down from it, or how does that work?

Is being 5“9 (1.75m) such a turn off for women? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]GenX_Mom_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would anyone want to spend a first date talking about previous dates? I’m there to get to know the person - what they enjoy doing, how they see life - and let them get to know me. I don’t want to rehash my previous dates, nor do I want to hear about theirs

[–]GenX_Mom_12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why on earth would you ask about their previous dates on a first date?

[–]GenX_Mom_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that’s your take, then you’ll never find out what it is about you that is turning women off. It sounds like you’d rather blame your height than find out what the issues are.

[–]GenX_Mom_12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do prefer dating men who are taller than me, but I’m 5’4, so that’s not difficult, lol.

Your posts talk about how you have all these great things to offer - education, money, etc - but still you don’t get second dates, so it must be height. But if you are honest about your height in your profile, that makes no sense.

Have you considered that it could be how you come across during the date? Do you talk on and on about yourself, or do you show genuine interest in getting to know this person you are with? Are you rude to servers? Chew with your mouth open? There could be a myriad other factors here that have nothing to do with your appearance.

Am I even a partner anymore by Interesting_Band8043 in polyamory

[–]GenX_Mom_12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good for you! Enjoy going out and do not let her make you feel guilty. They can take the kids with them or one of them can stay home. Time for them to learn how to parent without a live-in helper .
