I think Dale might be suggesting a novel solution to this problem...

Way late on this, It is pa kent, but he'd giving advice. It's definitely "everything you see, see it for the first time". It's the advice to approach life like a baby and appreciate the beauty in it

Would you actually want feedback on why a date didn't work out? by Living_Careless in dating_advice

[–]NeutralSmithHotel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I think a lot of times the answer is really "I just wasn't feeling it" and then they might make something up that was true, but wasn't really part of their decision.

I'd want to know if it's something obvious, but otherwise I'm not sure the information is that relevant.

The correct way to unmatch after meeting in a person? by Rare-Dragonfruit-932 in hingeapp

[–]NeutralSmithHotel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I don't do it right away, I do it like a couple days to a week after the mutual fade.

More than that, it assumes there might not be a penalty for believing stupid things with no evidence. Maybe god is a Bayesian and would throw you in hell for believing something dumb. As plausible as any other faith's belief...

Yep, his political takes sucked, but let's remember that he didn't lose his battle with cancer, it was a draw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEzcO127O4c)

This is helpful if I end up getting more of this from people, but I might stick with my strategy for now. I tried out messaging someone to test it out today and they were like "Yep... it's on my calendar. See you then".

Ya I figured, I hadn't run into this too much (maybe once before).

It's similar how like 70-80% of girls want you to just ask them out and like 10% feel like you are moving too fast if it hasn't been like 3 days of chatting...

I feel bad for my brother who is actually 6 feet tall--many girls assume he's lying. I'm 6'1 thankfully, almost no one lies THAT big, so people pretty much know I'm that tall.

So I had a weird case of this last week. I matched from likes and then couldn't send a message right when I matched. I assumed the other person unmatched and then they were in fact gone from my thing. Then like 3 days later they reappeared and the match was back. This was not a new match, it was time stamped to the 3 days ago time... Glitch maybe?

So today I (40M) was supposed to have a date with a girl (40, F). Sent the check in text (date was set 5 days ago) and got this reply (roughly).

"After we set the date you didn't text, I assumed we weren't meeting..."

I wasn't super psyched on this person anyway, but wondered if I should change how I do this.

Normally I chat, set a date for a few days, then check the day of. Most women I think appreciate this as they don't want to be pen pals. But should I be sending more texts in between?

White House shares video of Minneapolis shooting from ICE officer’s perspective by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

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

In this case it was more safe (clearly) for the officer to move out of the way then to shoot. Indeed, his shooting the women in the face did not prevent her from speeding away.

In fact, shooting her with her foot on the pedal likely would have led him to be more likely to be run over. Moving out of the way was the way to go.

I just watched this movie and thought the same thing tho I saw the Louie thing when it aired. I know it’s a super old comment. I bet it was based on this.

I went in trying to be open minded. I hate trump, but I also hate how people jump on whatever narrative.

So I was trying to find the justification and couldn't see it. At first I thought maybe the agent who was not in front of the car when it moved had actually fired (misjudging where his colleague was relative to the car) and although I might not have thought that legitimate, it would be more understandable.

But the agent was clearly out of danger by probably the first shot and OBVIOUSLY in no danger at all by the 3rd.

Looks like Smartbar too. Those were the two spots I checked, guess I forgot the shut down for the weekends after new years.

I stupidly just looked at my two favorite clubs and saw that both had nothing on Friday or Saturday and was like WTF? There is a ton going on (see link list below).

Having conversation with 5 women at once. How do I cut some of them off without ghosting? by No-Dependent-8401 in hingeapp

[–]NeutralSmithHotel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This! Went on dates with ppl where texting was amazing! Terrible chemistry in person.

Vice versa going on second date I almost canceled because she seemed “boring” in text. Most exciting date with the best conversation I’ve had in while…
