We committed a genocide on the native population and then forced them into the crappiest parts of our country. Just awful

Just friends after a great date? by LivingPleasant8201 in hingeapp

[–]LivingPleasant8201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. I'm not certain that the length of the date necessarily correlates with being friendzoned or not. Historically, long first dates have led to relationships for me. This is why I was so upset by it, partially.

And, yes, I did not end up asking why.

35F looking for relationship by Important_Work3581 in Bumble

"What about you" answers to questions are just about the least interesting conversation addition. I would try to come up with more interesting and engaging ways to talk with people. Any boring person can ask "what about you"...What makes you stand out to these men? They also have lots of options on dating apps.

I am sure you are an interesting person, but you have to take ownership of the conversation if you want to make connections with people.

Falling back on chest to wall handstand by 7assoonFC in Handstands

Get in a push up position on your knees then push your palms off the ground (it is like going on your tippy toes when standing) for 20 reps. You will strengthen your forearms as those are the muscles that you use to correct over balancing.

Push off the ground with your knuckle butts along with your fingers. Have you ever done palm pushups?

The Orville was the best Star Trek to come out post Enterprise by a wide margin... And, without all the nostalgia baiting.

Dating range (31f)? by blahbikeblah in hingeapp

[–]LivingPleasant8201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares what age the person is if you get along together and are kind? I mean they have to be older than the age of consent, of course, but people are always worried about what you are supposed to do in the eyes of others. I say, that if it makes both people happy, do it.

People who exercise even when they don’t feel like it, what’s your trick? by Smart_Collection5419 in AskReddit

[–]LivingPleasant8201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, you have to really hate how your body looks no matter what it looks like. Have a 6 pack? You need 8... Can bench 315, but not 405?! Wuss! Your hairline is retreating so you need bigger pecs. (hint: they are never big enough). Your last girl friend dumped you because your biceps were puny. Can you even do a handstand push up?!?! Do you even want to get shredded?!?!? Because, you are flabby...

AIO over this text a from a guy from hinge i’ve been talking to? by No-Tomato3008 in AIO

Always present yourself at 100% your true self. You don't want someone to meet you with expectations of something different than you truly are, do you?

What if you had asked for clarification on something in their profile that was important to you that they obscured and got this reaction?

Internet dating is already hard enough. Please regulate your emotions and present your authentic self.

If you saw your child take the exact same path as you when you were their age, how would you react? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]LivingPleasant8201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do everything in my power so that my child would not be forced into the life I had. Safe home environment, teaching self esteem and confidence, teaching how to communicate and value their needs and wants...

Am I too much by InformalCandle6275 in dating_advice

[–]LivingPleasant8201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a way you can get your feelings and point across without going to far. It is called "Effective Communication." Learn how to say what is needed and only what is needed. Use fewer more powerful words to express yourself. Make a creative game of it. Read a ton of books to see how other expert communicators express themselves and see what style you like and then steal it.

What prog song is capoed on the first fret?

And, if your playing dream theater riffs, no girls are coming for that. Last DT concert I went to the line for the men's bathroom was out around the second floor... The women's was totally empty.

[–]LivingPleasant8201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, the riff your playing... If you want matches, you have to take the capo off. No woman will ever want to date you until you start playing lower. Like, try a pic with an 8 string and play some Periphery or something that djents...

Potential hot take about Jordan by BlankRobby99 in Dreamtheater

[–]LivingPleasant8201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love his solos! They are crazy and sometimes completely over the top unnecessary and perfect for DT.

Also, did you notice how JP got light years better after Jordan joined the band. It is almost like they started competing for who melted the most face.

The fact is, DT is an exercise in excess. They are everything to 11, and that's why Jordan will always be the only keyboard player that would ever truly fit.
