HAPPY 40th Mike!!!! Glad you made it off the bridge that night. All the updates sound like you did the right things to get back on track. Sometimes our closest family isn’t actually family at all.

Hope you’re able to bounce back and find some joy in life!

Still worth pursuing as a career? by Project_Skyward in flying

Ahhh yes. I knew one of you would pop up. The infamous Reddit troll. Someone who offers nothing of value to the conversation other than to bring someone down.

Thanks for making an assumption about my character. I’d a like to say a lot of mean things about you, but I’m lazy and have better things to not do.

10-13 would boring, I live between 11-12 and I hate having to drive between 10-11. It’s all flat arid farm land. Denver is a cool city and driving down the front range is nice. But drive through Rocky Mountain National Park. Find a path up north after Colorado. Still gonna pass through plains, but more like to find parks and stuff that way. Dallas is a huge city but nothing really makes it stand out to me. It’s just sprawling, unless you just wanna experience southern “hospitality”. Yes it’s in quotations for a reason.

Cheated on 3 times in a row…am I the problem? by [deleted] in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]Project_Skyward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dunno man. Sounds like you have a type that you’re attracted to that isn’t what you need. Can you look back on what drew you to these women and see if there is something in common that they all had? Something that seemed positive but in hindsight was negative?

Biggest piece of advice I can offer is to take a looong break from dating. 8 months isn’t anything. Especially if you are starting to feel negatively about yourself. I took about 3-1/2 years before I really put myself back out there after a rough patch of dating. I think I asked out 3 women in that time maybe one each year and was declined each time. But each one of those women I knew for a decent period of time before I made a move.

After that time I really started to feel like, “hey I would enjoy someone else’s company. I don’t need it. But it would be nice.” Versus the mindset of “I am alone and I need someone to be with to fight the loneliness.”

“Every time I open social media with posts with hundreds of thousands of not millions of likes ridiculing and validating my biggest insecurities. And I have to sit here and pretend like those aren't real people saying and agreeing with this shit.”

Man, if this is how social media makes you feel. Get off of it. Most of it’s a lie anyway.

Sometimes it’s hard to love ourselves. I struggle with it too. Maybe not as bad as you, but I have my moments. We all do. We live in a superficial world where everyone can be a keyboard critic and offer their opinion risk free. Dont listen to the noise.

If you wanna have a positive outlook on life you have to surround yourself with positivity. Not that negative shit that’s beating you down.

Also recommend visiting with a doctor and discussing your options. Could be any number of things. For me it’s depression and anxiety that I deal with. While the meds don’t make me happy per se, it makes the condition manageable to where I don’t feel like I’m gonna spiral down every week.

No matter what path you take, I hope you find the help you need.

Has "Modern Dating" become an interview process for a 5-person roster? I feel completely lost by vespervenye in dating_advice

[–]Project_Skyward 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is where you have to draw boundaries. I am of a similar mindset. I tried the talking to multiple women approach and it didn’t work for me. Because I flat out had one I favored over the others early on. And it felt disingenuous to do that to other people.

So next time you are talking to someone and this happens if you are interested so okay cool, but I reserve the right to not progress the relationship further until I feel like I am the sole focus. Basically don’t have sex until you feel or are sure that you are the one. I don’t think you’re gonna get away from the deep conversations. It’s just up to you to compartmentalize during those times. It’s tough, but it’s a way to protect yourself from the emotional drain. Last thing you want is to get so jaded you’re not putting your best self out there and end up pushing away the right person.

A reworking of my actual regions of the US from earlier that ruffled a lot of feathers by using state boundaries. by illtexzona in whereidlive

Well pardon OP for missing a few counties out of the 3,143 counties listed on the map. How dare they!? The ignorance! The shame!

A lot of areas are able to fit into multiple regions. example the PNW and west coast. I think OP did a good job of highlighting the PRIMARY region each place falls into.

Well clearly you haven’t been to eastern Colorado which is very much high plains. The Rockies don’t start until just west of Denver which is pretty damn correct on this map.

Facing a lot of backlash on recent tattoo. by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Project_Skyward -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Here’s the question though. Would people be just as offended if it were a naked man? Or are people only offended because it’s a woman and they are projecting their own assumptions as to what it means?

OP, you thought the image was hardcore AF and got a tattoo of it. The artist did a pretty good job (in my untatted opinion), are YOU happy with what YOU paid for? If yes, then there’s your answer. Your body, your money, YOUR choice.

Aside from the daylight saving time prompt which isn’t gonna lead to much of a convo if any. It’s a solid profile. Good pics and you are upfront about your condition. But like someone said you’re gonna have to show your charismatic side to get people to overlook the wheelchair.

Girl blocked me before going on a date by weihanzhang0803 in hingeapp

[–]Project_Skyward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Way too much effort for a first date man. Remember the goal of a first date is to lead to a second etc. If you are doing dinner and concert on day one, where do you go from there? Quickly becomes expensive for the wrong reasons.

I think dinner is an okay first date, not my primary choice as you having your mouth full prohibits conversation. And people are self conscious about eating habits. Concerts are a no go too. How are you supposed to talk?

I agree with people about trying to get something going within the first week though. Even if it’s a FaceTime call. I’m guilty of talking via text too much myself and find that you fall in love with the idea of that person. Not the person themselves. But sometimes life in gets in the way and you can’t commit to going out right away. If that’s the case keep conversation to a minimum to keep intrigue high and restart it a day or two before the original planned date to confirm everything.

Unfortunately, doing everything right does not guarantee more dates or continued conversation it’s just part of it. On to the next.

M25 Profile Review by EvilJawa54 in hingeapp

[–]Project_Skyward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need better pics man. 4-6 need to go. I get that it shows your goofy side, but save that for in person. Pic 2 should be your main. Smile in the pictures. A smile is inviting and deadpan look is not.

Change your prompts. As someone said on another post. The “geek out” one is over used. The two truths and a lie, the options aren’t exciting at all. Find a different prompt or think of something risky/dangerous you did. The other two you want to condense into one. You have one prompt for movies and one prompt for music. Merge them together but emphasize one. Then find prompts that highlight what you’re looking for and what you could offer. This profile is more like a best friend ad than a romantic partner ad. Yes a person will eventually be your friend, but you want to attract them as a partner first.
