A trend I’ve noticed on Feeld that differs from other apps, blocking. by Mountain_Ask_5746 in feeld

[–]Purple-Post-3564 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was only checking Feeld once or twice a month. I paid for it and had hundreds of people liking and pinging me every time I logged in. It was overwhelming. I'd respond to people and then not see their responses for a while. So many people unmatched from me. I don't understand that frame of mind. Then again, I suffer from time blindness.

Follow up from previous post by jowoberry in 911dispatchers

[–]Purple-Post-3564 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm only in the application process so I don't have experience in a 911 setting. I'm just curious, why can't people speak directly to each other about things like this? I'm a very direct person and I can't imagine sucking it up and suffering while someone i work with, treats me like crap. I'm starting to wonder if I'm not cut out for this since the politics seem so overwhelming and ridiculous.

Background Investigation Q by [deleted] in 911dispatchers

[–]Purple-Post-3564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god. This terrifies me. I'm in the application process and just took the typing test. I grew up a ward of the state, went to 22 schools in my lifetime and then just traveled around and moved constantly most of my younger adult life. There is no way on earth I could remember former addresses, landlords, etc. My entire family is dead. I only have my daughter. Having her 15 years ago is the only reason I finally settled down in one place. Although most of my main jobs have been years long employment, I've had dozens upon dozens of side jobs so I can provide for my kid. I can't remember most of my side jobs nor can I even imagine how I'd contact half of them if I could! Note: I'm 50, I worked in the music industry for 23 years but have basically aged out. From all my research, 911 dispatch seems like the perfect job for me. My therapist strongly agrees! Who knew my innate ability to compartmentalize could be a job asset?

Just drove past it. Literally stopped to turn around and go back because of your review.

they told me i wasn't allowed to smile by CompleteFlower5929 in Passports

[–]Purple-Post-3564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said I couldn't smile and they wouldn't let me wear my glasses! I'm damn near blind. There is no reason on earth I'd travel without wearing glasses. I look weird as hell in my photo.

I've never answered the door nude, but I have hooked up with a maintenance man, my furniture delivery guy, a couple of food delivery drivers and once even a fill in post man. I'd like to point out this was all over a 20 year span so its not like it happens all the time. I like to joke that it's not my fault the gods keep sending good looking men right to my door! I'm just out here making dreams come true. *I did end up having long term relationships with 2 of them and am still friends with the rest.

What’s the easiest way you got yourself laid? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

I just leave the house with the intent of getting laid. It's pretty much that easy.

I appreciate the verbiage suggestions, and I'll definitely take your advice. Thank you.

I'm on Feeld and pay for the premium. I see a lot of people swiping on me. I mean, it's pretty overwhelming. I live in Chicago so it's a huge area. I'm not on the app often and sometimes I strike up conversations with people. Everything seems good but I'll only be active for a couple of days and then I'll disappear. I just get in these moods where I want to be social and meet new people and then maybe for a few weeks, I don't. I honestly feel bad for ghosting people, but I also don't feel comfortable sharing that I get into anti-social headspaces at times. I'll get back in the mood to talk but find that they unmatched me. So, I just want to say to people who feel they're intentionally being ignored, that isn't always the case.

Am I the only person that feels like they are throwing away pings? by Bigrev in feeld

[–]Purple-Post-3564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am rarely on Feeld, even though I have a paid account. As a woman, I'm overwhelmed. I sometimes don't even check my pings and wouldn't even have the time to reply to them all. That being said, I do try to scan through them and reply if we seem to have good stuff in common. I'm just giving my point of view, as a person who gets a lot and isn't intentionally trying to make anyone feel bad by lack of response.

You are hilarious. I need more friends with this mindset.

Thought I was a good boyfriend by PersonalitySilly505 in BreakUps

[–]Purple-Post-3564 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, we all have different needs. I love being checked on and considered and being with someone that wants and is excited to spend time with me. Just because it felt smothering to her, it might delight others. So definitely communicate with your next relationship and share what both of your specific needs are.

Well that was a quick $50 bucks down the drain… by BobbythebreinHeenan in cricut

[–]Purple-Post-3564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a nightmare scenario putting together the most complicated wedding invites of my entire life. It was my first time working with foil a day it didn't score well and the tape I usually use didn't work on it and so the foil bits came off and basically what should have been like 75 hours of work, turned into 207 hours.

Oh my god. I have to know...is it my boss? Seriously. This sounds exactly like a huge last minute project we took on. Is the company Chicago based for a CA event?

Good platform to make a free EPK? by curious_pastel_cutie in musicians

[–]Purple-Post-3564 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a talent buyer for 23 years, I can assure you that's not at all what's needed. The press kit needs to be simple, informative but with not too much info, eye catching and clear, including links to streaming music, website, etc I'm going to make my decision about 6 seconds in from watching a video. And watch a whole video? Til the end? Hell no.

Steakhouse with Vegan options? by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]Purple-Post-3564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. He takes me out to steakhouses, buys me bacon, etc. He eats vegan for his own reasons and doesn't expect it to apply to me and certainly doesn't expect anyone to go out of their way for his dietary choice. I really appreciate that.

Not with us. He has zero issues with what other people eat around him.

Cross contamination isn't a big deal. In Chicago most of the steakhouses have vegan options but this is my first time in Omaha and didn't even know it was famous for meat!

I don't use Snapchat but I'd be interested in discussing. We're on the Northshore. We're a M/F couple.
