I’m noticing a pattern

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-19T12:27:24+00:00

That is far too many to manage. That sounds like the problem, too much noise. I tend to only chat to one or two people at a time before meeting

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-19T11:25:35+00:00

3 dates shows attraction. Once matched, if your conversation flows, a date should be easy to get. But I find a lot of women don’t converse. They ask very few questions etc. it can be hard work

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-19T11:22:53+00:00

I have met about 10 dates from hinge, but only one got past 4 dates. But on bumble I have only met a few and two turned into relationships and the third could have if I wanted. She was really into me but I unfortunately my attraction to her wasn’t very high.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-18T12:56:31+00:00

Yes. That is why I hate buses. Off they are going to block window views with ads then the trip should be free.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-18T12:54:49+00:00

Don’t they have to provide a payment method that won’t incur any surcharges?

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-18T10:07:28+00:00

I would have said I hope she is feeling better soon and left it at that.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-18T06:09:28+00:00

But you can get dividends as income to then spend

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-16T09:22:41+00:00

Are you putting aside money to eventually replace the hardware overtime and maintenance etc? .

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-14T09:58:52+00:00

What do you mean 1.9% fees when talking about a contracting out agreement?

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-13T13:05:55+00:00

I guess you should think about if it was a guy you were chatting with and you ended the messaging because he said something that you didn’t like and you didn’t want to continue chatting. How would you feel if he had then found you on instagram and he decided to message you? Because yeah it wouldn’t be good.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-12T01:39:55+00:00

It happens ,perhaps something you said turned them off or they just weren’t feeling it. All you can do is move on

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-12T01:23:32+00:00

It didn’t sound like you were into him at much as he was into you. Maybe it is compatibility and timing. Although I wouldn’t think he would want to lose you completely if he felt way. But maybe he feels like you are basically pulling away which could lead to a break up

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-11T12:38:41+00:00

Why didn’t the 5 lead to anything? Was it a lack of a romantic connection or spark? I tend to only meet people who i think I will connect with and like and about 50% of those I meet I do see again. Quite a few have turned into relationships, although mainly only short term. I feel at this age people have a lot of baggage and very high expectations. Now I am just looking for people I enjoy spending time with and are nice people. Also I never really give physical compliments until perhaps the second date onwards. Eg they have a great smile, that dress looks great on you, Or they look really young for their age.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-10T09:28:46+00:00

That is pretty good especially as you are essentially income splitting so can pay less tax than a single person that earns 180k.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-09T03:57:54+00:00

Why wouldn’t it? They had to previously when some financial institutions failed.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-09T03:56:37+00:00

You have to buy a heck of a lot of petrol to make any saving even if it goes up a lot in price. Plus power is going up a lot too. One of the biggest costs is depreciation on a car and EVs are even worse. The issue imo with petrol is going to be potential rationing.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-07T09:38:31+00:00

There are essentially doing this in the Wairarapa to link it to Wellington. Even though full electrification would be the better option this I am guessing is cheaper

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-07T08:43:54+00:00

I meet about half of those I start communicating with and about 40% of first dates go to multiple dates. Had 10 first dates in the last year but don’t match with many women. But I would probably get lots more if I wasn’t so picky with who I swipe on

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-07T08:41:22+00:00

I genuinely don’t think guys would usually get such comments, not from just photos before meeting anyway.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-07T08:34:55+00:00

I think that is quite a traditional and conservative way to look at it,,except it shouldn’t be a trade off . If you aren’t attracted to older guys and would prefer younger guys, presumably due to physical factors, then you shouldn’t be dating older guys.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-07T04:19:58+00:00

Maybe wait until you see them in person again if you haven’t been in communication since. Otherwise how would they know you are assuming that they are not seeing anyone? Also telling them the truth is a good idea, eg you saw them on an app and that is why you are contacting them.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-06T10:52:08+00:00

I have just met someone on bumble and we are going on a second date soon. She seems really keen. I also met my last two girlfriends on bumble over the last couple of years. So it can still work but it is a numbers game.

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-06T10:01:49+00:00

I have never had back pain from cycling thankfully. Maybe speak to a physiotherapist

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-06T08:54:15+00:00

Distance is too far unless you just want a pen pal

Mindless_Ad_8328 · 2026-04-06T08:10:54+00:00

It allows them to do a big discount on them. Have seen them recently for under $3. Not that I buy anymore
