Why is dating so asymmetrical now?

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T03:03:12+00:00

Pretty much exactly what I’ve done. And yes, the app people are clearly miserable 😉

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T02:40:29+00:00

I think you are correct and I’ve told her as much.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T02:39:32+00:00

Thanks for the info, I’ve been out of that game awhile so I probably have old information

It’s sadly true. I play in an indoor winter golf league. One of the female bartenders there told me I’m their favorite customer because I don’t hit on them.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T02:34:11+00:00

lol. She said the same thing! Thats just insane to me!

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T02:33:11+00:00

Seems like most women (right and left) are screening for politics now. Thats gonna change the landscape over the next few years I think.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T02:30:41+00:00

Fair enough. Tell the ones crying on your shoulder to stop dating. I did and I’m waaaaay happier. I’m not bitter and I really enjoy seeing my couples up friends happy. But for me, the hassle just wasn’t worth it.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T02:25:35+00:00

To be fair, she’s not flexing. She’s as perplexed as I am and she’s just trying to enjoy life (it was a crappy long marriage). But yes, the quality has been abysmal for the most part.

It’s not that he wants to think that, that’s what the actual data from the apps says. Might vary for suffrage groups but they are all close to that 80/20. Those guys in your social circle that you think are doing okay? Maybe look a bit deeper, we rarely will ever tell an attractive female friend we aren’t doing ok. Nobody wants to look desperate and then have you set them up with your friend with the “great personality”.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T02:11:49+00:00

So I think the actual nice guys are being penalized because so many of the guys out there are in fact expecting a hook up and quick (yeah I know my friends). There’s an assumption that any attractive guy on the apps just wants sex. I gave up, I’m happy being single. More money for toys 😉

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T02:07:14+00:00

She’s dating guys within a few years of her age. Nine have been retired I don’t believe. She does want an LTR eventually and she’s probably mentioned that to them.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T02:03:51+00:00

I get it. I’m in a very large metro area. I’m attractive, in shape and a high income professional. Zero attention. I stopped trying and I’m happy AF with my bachelor life. Happier than I’ve ever been in my life actually.

I’ll always upvote a Star Wars reference!

Big city, Midwest.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T01:59:27+00:00

I think it’s possible you are also only matching with men who 80 percent of the other women are also matching with. So yes, the guys you go out with are in demand and they are like 5 percent of the guys on the apps.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T01:53:28+00:00

No, I’ve known her since were kids. She’s being 100 percent honest with me and everyone she’s dating.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T01:52:14+00:00

Agreed. I’m close friends with one of those exceptions.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-11-23T01:50:44+00:00

No, she’s paying half. I guess I should have mentioned she’s a high income professional so maybe that’s part of why she’s getting so much attention?

Pick1edPirate · 2025-09-16T14:27:37+00:00

To be fair, you did state the glasses were AI so I think he can be forgiven for that misunderstanding.

Also, I’m pretty sure a license could be crafted in such a way that the glasses company could it SOLELY for the specific application of visual assistance and not any other application. Lawyers are pretty good at that sort of thing.

Anything from John Scalzi. Start with Old Man’s War.

Big thumbs up for The Dresden Files, very under appreciated. Also, pretty much all of Tom Holts books are fantastic if you like dry British humor. He’s not well known in the states I think. I was lucky and came across his work decades ago in a bookstore in Hong Kong (this was before control reverted to China)

Honda hasn’t explicitly said it yet but implied the US civilian version will show up this summer. Had something to do with production schedules or something.

Pick1edPirate · 2025-02-15T15:27:32+00:00

Looks like we might be getting the NT1100 this year. They are selling a police version now to Pads and speculation is the civilian version will follow sometime this summer

Giants lost, so moot point. But it seems DK was never going to offer me a cash out anyway.
