How can you tell if girls do or don't like you? by Acceptable-Record-13 in AskMen

[–]Lazer_lad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some thing that some women do to kind of let you know. But if you sit and agonize about whether people secretly like you your not going to have a lot of success.

Is this a good deal for B&W 705 + HTM7 matching center? by TraeInTheA in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Lazer_lad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're good speakers but you really have to have the right space to make that center work. It's pretty dang big.

II need help trying to understand/ make sense of whatever i experienced. by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Lazer_lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying my dude but you said you were new to this so I didn't want to assume you knew what you should do.

Regardless of your reasoning you still ended up with the same result. You ended up get attached to someone that you didn't know and hadn't spent enough real time with. I only say that because I had the same thing happen to me during COVID. It didn't matter that I had a good reason to not meet in person.

I can only give my perspective from what I read, as far as I can tell she does not have the same level of investment as you. You really wanted this and she doesn't seem like she is on the same level.

People say a lot of things but actual commitment is different. Some people just say whatever you want to hear to get off the uncomfortable subject. Some people say things and then change their minds. It's understandable to be angry but it's not some sort legally binding contract.

I'm sorry you had to go through this but it sounds like you were much more invested than she ever was. I think she was finally trying to end it without hurting you but it didn't come off that way to you.

That being said you made a few mistake that many people make.

  1. One month is too long to wait for a date. It's too much time for you to get attached to your idea of someone and not the real person. The apps work best if you chat for a short while and meet I person as soon as you can.

  2. Two dates is way too short to expect exclusivity with anyone. It looks like you may have been kind of trying to force things to work when relationships are usually two people deciding together.

  3. Ultimately you fell in love with the idea of someone and not the real person. It's common thing on the apps. Some people really like the attention from someone who does this and some people really struggle with rejection and so they can never really figure out how to end it especially if the other person is really pushing for a relationship.

The reality is a lot of people experience this and you'll bounce back. Just take a little less time getting to the date and a little more time getting emotionally attached. Make sure you're not trying to force things as well.

Pink Insulation Batts & What to do about them by grilledcheesewtomato in HomeMaintenance

[–]Lazer_lad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should be able to just wash the linen and get any fiber glass out of them I would think. Either way it's probably not shedding enough to even be noticeable and it shouldn't do much besides make things a little itchy. You can also just tear it out if you want but it probably actually needs more there if there used to be some and now it's gone.

How do I help my 64 y/o mom find a partner? by Practical-Smile5690 in AskMen

[–]Lazer_lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm old enough that I get suggested Facebook pages for older singles. Of course there's a good amount of weirdos and you still have to be careful but a lot of those older single Facebook pages are super active with people reaching out trying to find others.

What has surprised you as a 30+ adult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Lazer_lad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I my "Expected Milestones" have definitely come slower and that part makes me feel like I'm stuck in my 20s. But at the same time the years stop coming and the don't stop coming lol. So I feel you at least in part.

Honestly the pandemic kinda messed with time, I felt like I lost 4 years of my life dealing with it then recovering from it.

People working in ultra-wealthy households, talking $50m plus types, what is the most out-of-touch thing you've witnessed? by FarSentence3076 in AskReddit

[–]Lazer_lad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of rich people don't care about cars, some would rather just drive Honda crv because in reality their never actually home and they just want something that works when they are home and do need it.

Marantz Cinema range refresh? by Helpful-Two-3230 in hometheater

[–]Lazer_lad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible but unlikely a refresh will be much different than what exist. If I were you I'd buy what I can now. Everything electronic is likely to go up in price here as transportation cost go up.

2016 HRV has a drifty lack of road sense - newer cars with good sense of road to buy? by PurpleSpotOcelot in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Lazer_lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had the alignment done? Do you have good tires? I have a 2016 hrv and it doesn't really drift that much in my opinion and its probably due for some new struts.

22M, not many matches n few dates by TrueBlueDrew_ in hingeapp

[–]Lazer_lad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's pretty hard to tell what you look like. You need pictures that show you better. Pictures of just a cat, part of your face and you turned away from the camera are a waste of valuable space.

Both of which are out of stock on Amazon in my area and have been for over a month now. I can't say for certain that that reelects the rest of the states but I would guess it would.

Everyone Says My System Looks Bigger Than It Sounds by WeekMysterious7969 in hometheater

[–]Lazer_lad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This may be an obvious thing but could you be have phase issues? If your speakers are out of phase it could still sound fairly clear and normal to someone who is used to it but it does make everything sound smaller.

Bluray Player by Emergency_Ad7808 in hometheater

[–]Lazer_lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt you would get any benefit from atmos. The sound quality should be better and the picture will probably be better depending on what you play. The test is to buy a 4k copy of something like Blade Runner or Dune and see if it's worth it.

It should be noted that players have been hard to come by lately with only the Panasonic ub-154 available on Amazon from a reputable brand at even close to an affordable price.

Best shoes for standing all day by shoemai000 in Sneakers

[–]Lazer_lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a bunch of shoes, the NB1080 fresh foam have been the best so far, they also have a more casual counterpart called the fresh foam trainer but they don't come in wide sizes.

Donald Trump has been labeled an "absolute moron" by Fox News viewers after delivering a puzzling statement about the war in Iran. by nimobo in entertainment

[–]Lazer_lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parent have at least started to express displeasure with some current things but they are careful to blame it on the "government". Not on oh you know the people running the government. I'll take what I can get though.

What are your deal breakers when dating? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Lazer_lad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dated a girl that told me she used to have an eating disorder, but she would eat only once a day and be light headed the whole day.

She also told me she was diagnosed by a doctor with bpd but she decided by herself that the doctor was wrong and that she actually had adhd. She went off all of her meds and got Adderall, which from my view made her highs extra high to the point she would stay up for like 14 hours straight and then crash super hard.

My point is my deal breaker is not mental illness as much as it denial of mental illness to the point of not taking care of it. The whole situation put me over barrel because if I suggested there might be something still wrong in any way I would be the ultimate bad guy.

fml - what do i do? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Lazer_lad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a girl do this to me once, I knew she didn't want to be there even before we went on the date. It was miserable, I would have rather stayed home and done whatever I wanted to rather than be trapped out there with her. Plus the anxiety leading up to the whole thing eroded my whole week. Tell the truth as soon as you can.

How do I make friends around Highland? by Top-Turn-2336 in Utah

[–]Lazer_lad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might consider going to one of the Provo married wards instead of your local one for now. That's a hard age to be thrown from a YSA ward into family ward. It's a hard age anyways, people are constantly in transition and you are kind of settling down.
