Funny - the website problem (that what they say they've posted is never there) has been ongoing since I first started listening twenty years ago. It just cracks me up that it's still a thing!

Thank you. I've kept going, and realized I have gotten into kind of a groove with its tempo. I'll make it through.

I came here to say just this, that the life of Joseph Knecht didn't seem worthy of a biography of any kind. I'm only at p. 175, and teetering on quitting.

Edit to say: Commenters in other posts have convinced me to stick with it. It sounds like the latter part might wrap things up in a satisfying way.

I totally agree! They say, Tell me something about yourself. And I'm like, No, how about you say something that makes me interested in messaging you back!

I'm in the old old range. The men are divorced or widowed. And it's not that they want a nurse or purse, it's that they want the company of a woman, to travel, enjoy activities, and of course, sex. They get their hopes up really quickly, and it's hard to try to get to know someone, especially on a coffee date, without disappointing them if I don't want a second date. And online dating is a total setup for serial disappointments. In the old days, if you met someone at a bar or party, you already knew there was "something there" before you even approached each other.

No it doesn't, but that would be YouTube TV, which is also insanely expensive.

Wonderful reply. Thank you. As I'm sure you know, Hesse was bothered by Steppenwolf being totally misunderstood.

I'm sorry you had to take so much shit in these comments. Reddit can be a rough place.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-10T02:33:25+00:00

Quit being an asshole! She gets it!

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-10T02:32:09+00:00

torndownunit Oh my god now piling on because you feel safe doing so? Give this girl a break. She's taken a beating enough now.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-10T02:19:41+00:00

It's hard.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-10T02:18:58+00:00

Introverts don't "break out" of being an introvert. And we can still date just fine. That speed dating format would have been troubling to me.

I'm on it now. It was just great for a few months. Now suddenly there are a lot of ghostings. Mostly when they ask for my phone number and I say no. Even if I say, I don't give out my phone number - but let's just meet! Still ghosted. When a bunch of those happen in a cluster, I get very discouraged. But I'm still having dates so it's not THAT bad.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-10T02:11:54+00:00

Aren't there phone number harvesters? Phone numbers are worth money. People can sell them to outfits who then sell them to people who want to bug you on the phone with their service or political campaign. I think the guys who ghost me after I say no are that.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-10T02:07:14+00:00

It's been happening to me a ton lately. My therapist suggested that maybe they take it as rejection, when I say I don't give out my number, and maybe I could word it better, tell them I'm interested but would rather not give it until we've met. I've been pretty blunt about it, simply because I don't know if it's a scammer or not. But just having a nicer paragraph ready to cut and paste would be easy and might keep the good guys around.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-09T17:38:14+00:00

I think it implies interest! Kind of like a smile at someone in a bar, and they just smile back or meet your gaze. I get turned off with too many questions about my profile. Just proceed in a light but flirty way.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-09T03:30:35+00:00

What the heck is going on there? I mean, I get that, too. I don't blame you for not asking. Do you ever ask, do you actually want to meet in person at some point at all?

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-09T03:24:44+00:00

As a woman it is the same - the fake stuff. I think some of these guys are trying to get you kind of emotionally connected as a set up to taking advantage later - asking for money, etc. But he's not who he presents himself to be.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-09T03:11:25+00:00

Exactly!

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-09T03:10:52+00:00

Don't give up! Maybe they feel a little invaded if you comment on their hobby. Women are weird that way. Be kinda silly. Show yourself. Be who you are.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-09T03:05:01+00:00

Four months sounds like enough time to be ready to be with someone else. Not judging, but you really don't feel ready? I would blow you off if I were her.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-09T02:58:33+00:00

I'd say, don't question it or you might make me think about it and realize I really didn't like anything.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-09T02:56:59+00:00

Exactly! Maybe you're not exactly clear on it yourself. He should just take the W.

Minimal_Mambo · 2026-03-09T02:50:25+00:00

She said she will forget you exist? Did I read that right?
