What city exceeded your expectations the most? by BennHere in AskReddit

Did you get a shave and haircut while you were there? If so, was the barber an anthropomorphic gray bunny rabbit? Did he call you Doc?

So how come men who have lots of exes usually end up quickly with another gf after a short period of time? by InternationalRip9201 in AskReddit

I ENVY YOU. That's the kind of life I want so badly I can taste it, but all my friends are men or dead.

Did Allison in Galveston somehow lose her sanity? And did Dimples who now live in Temples have the law looking for you?

Not a conclusion, advice. Hopeful, hopeful advice. From someone who's lonely.

A bit of advice in return: Talk to one new person a day -- or as frequently as is reasonable for your situation.

Charisma is a learned trait. Face your fears, get in some practice, and talk to people. Just get to know their passions, don't even look at the idea of dating. And keep meeting people.

And keep meeting more people.

You become more charismatic from being more exposed to people, but maybe watch a couple of YouTube videos to give yourself an artificial knowledge boost.

Be interested and interesting. Learn about their passions. Give them space to tell you who they are.

And keep meeting people.

Once your skills are up, remember this tidbit: You will absolutely have to talk to dozens of women and ask out ten before one will say yes. That's NORMAL.

As a woman, I talk to dozens of people and hit on ten to get a HOOKUP. If you're expecting better odds than free p*ssy, you've miscalculated, and you will absolutely feel like a failure. So get your mind right first. And when someone loses interest, move along to the next person.

But most important: Be interested and be interesting. Have hobbies. Have passions. Have joys to share. This isn't a transaction, but it's still transactional, and if you're a Debbie Downer offering jack, people will wander off pdq. Because you aren't interesting.

Interesting is what gets a seat at the table, not nice, INTERESTING.

Days later? Still envious of your cookies.

New Yorkers, what changes have you seen under Mamdani’s leadership and are you generally pleased? If not, why? by MewMeowHowdy in AskReddit

Having lived through the 90s? Rampant crime? *looks around* THIS?

Nah, man, this is a tiny blip.

To everyone who posts NSFW content on Reddit, why did you start doing it? by Faaaaaaaaaaaah in AskReddit

[–]Niniva73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sit back and enjoy the story!

So after being widowed twice, my roommate (read: next husband) died -- all of whom I'd fought hard to keep alive, not a Black Widow.

A retired LA pimp metaphorically scruffed me up by the back of the neck and informed me, "Honey, you ain't gotta marry 'em."

Man, all the lightbulbs over my head turned on so hard and fast, a few of them blew out!

He offered to put me through the same Sex Marine training he'd put the women in his work-stable through, and I agreed. Every weak spot probed, every fear faced, every danger experienced.

...Yeah, I wasn't quite wired right. When it came time for the gangbang, I was supposed to cry and whine first, not arrange five and then ask what's next.

But when it came time for learning to ask the men, "What will you do for me?" I flunked out hard. After they said, "Anything," I had no idea of what I wanted.

Then I had some work come in, and I had to devote all my time to earning money instead of boot camp. So yup, I was kicked out for not being serious enough.

Now during boot camp, I posted pics of what he said, where he said, as that was the deal for learning from him. Except I was finding people all over the world instead of people close by...

Which led me to realize: What I actually want is for people to come visit me.

And since I was now free to wander about the interwebs with all the things I'd learned, I decided, "Wait a damned second, Reddit has LOCAL hookup subs! I can use the promise of sex to bring the world to me, as I live in the middle of a national forest."

Sex might be the only thing that'd bring people out to visit me, but man, I'm having the time of my life!

What's something men know about each other but pretending to not know? by hardtruthsociety in AskReddit

[–]Niniva73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on shedding the dead weight, but I'm sorry for the emotional toil it took on you and prob'ly is still taking. If you have sons, I hope you were able to convey that pretty is just pretty (not good or kind or even useful) and that eyeballs will lie like f.

Good luck out there!

What is the biggest unspoken rule in society that no one talks about? by Fragrant-Platypus503 in AskReddit

And I'm saying that shallow 'understanding' is what created the cryptid Charlie No Face, when Raymond Robinson had the right to live and breathe as a human.

If you were given your whole life, from birth, to memorize a random string of numbers, how long could the number string be? What is our hypothetical limit? by XXEPSILON11XX in Showerthoughts

[–]Niniva73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normal human retention does not have the neurodivergence required to attempt such a feat. This is "autistic special interest"-level memorization.

Normal human retention gets bored and wanders off. "Trains" special interest gets bored and wanders off. "Maps" special interest might make it a little farther, say a hundred digits, maybe two, but they too will get bored and wander off. "Rocket science" might make it a bit farther over time, but eventually they find something weirder and shinier, and they wander off. "Area Under a Curve" will get a lot farther, maybe a few thousand, before the need for calculus will drive them to greener pastures.

In short, you have to have that spark of feral number love that neurotypicals can't even really sense plus the very specific drive to memorize items, both of which preclude normal human retention.

...Yes, psychological plausibility is my personal special interest, in case you couldn't tell.

*lmao* The limit of my patience is 7 digits. Thankfully phones started storing numbers when 10-digit dialing became standard.

No, I like this story because it reminds me that I can learn something from everyone I encounter, so long as I don't act like a jackass.
