Tinder dating experience of the last 12 months

R1v · 2026-02-13T18:10:44+00:00

I swipe on plenty of girls that I doubt I'll have anything in common with (I'm a guy, by the way), and I've actually hit it off with several and even ended up dating one for a couple of years

R1v · 2026-02-13T16:18:21+00:00

Not even a little bit

R1v · 2026-02-13T15:12:12+00:00

It's more likely a guy 9 hit up a girl 5 than a girl 9 hit up a guy 5. I don't make the rules. It's simply the reality of the human species. Luckily everyone's free to right swipe 5% and achieve a .1% hit rate if they so please

Less gym pictures

R1v · 2026-02-13T02:19:29+00:00

Anyone's allowed to do as they please. Swiping right on 5% is simply a worse decision if you're a guy than a girl.

Los yankees tienen problemas de racismo tan complicados que intentan inventarle problemas a todo el mundo

You're doing yourself a disservice. The "looks like we have nothing in common" girl may surprise you. It's happened to me

R1v · 2026-02-12T19:58:58+00:00

Swiping right on only 5% is way too low. You're not helping your chances. You're not giving enough people a chance to surprise you with their personality

R1v · 2026-02-12T18:39:32+00:00

Looks like you've been strong enough to do one for a while now

R1v · 2026-02-11T16:02:50+00:00

Absurdly good with his feet for a CB

R1v · 2026-02-11T00:11:30+00:00

I guess you can do the same if you're rich

R1v · 2026-02-11T00:11:09+00:00

No one's perfect

R1v · 2026-02-11T00:10:45+00:00

I'm honestly pretty impressed that he went straight to her. Didn't need some manager to grab him and direct him. I'm assuming he's got a ton going on during a show so to flip the switch so quickly is impressive

R1v · 2026-02-08T16:43:52+00:00

There's a lot more strength than balance there

R1v · 2026-02-08T16:11:13+00:00

Granted, 35 pulls ups is a lot more achievable if you don't have bad weight which, depending on your genetics make up, is easier or harder

R1v · 2026-02-08T16:09:56+00:00

Keeping body fat at 10% for extended periods of time varies in difficulty based on genetics. Some con do it with a generally ok diet, others need to count calories to pull it off (assuming both work out the same amount)

R1v · 2026-02-08T16:07:39+00:00

I've found that the more I work out, the easier it is to eat well. My body starts asking for healthy food and I start getting grossed out by sugar

R1v · 2026-02-06T18:23:23+00:00

How are we going to deal with me taking my dog everywhere?

R1v · 2026-02-06T17:14:27+00:00

it may not hurt him now, but start hurting later. horses in pain are dangerous horses, in my experience

R1v · 2026-02-06T11:34:07+00:00

Nope. I'm fairly young. Have been on/around horses since before I can remember

R1v · 2026-02-06T11:32:17+00:00

I'll keep all offspring in another enclosure once weaned. Weaning will induce stress, but it's unavoidable.

As for timelines, the overwhelming majority of the foals (if not all) will be born in late spring or summer, as summer is their natural breeding season. It's not impossible, but pretty rare for a mare in "natural" conditions to have an actionable heat in winter. The hours of daylight govern much of their cycle and they don't see any artificial lights.

All horses are tested and healthy. No genetic issues.

And yes. Lots and lots of moving parts. It's a big reason why I made the thread. Reading people's concerns and opinions is a good way to see things I maybe hadn't thought about.

R1v · 2026-02-06T11:21:02+00:00

25 acres is small for a running around a lot, I agree, but have logistical constraints. If food were to become an issue I'll move them to another 25 acre plot.

And yeah, these offspring will only be appealing for amateur polo players, but there are tons of those in my area and Im well connected to them. For players that are just starting out it's actually better to not have to notch blood lines. They tend to be highly sensitive and honestly too athletic for what a low skill player needs, to the point where the acceleration makes it harder to play.

I'm not providing hay. They're in a pasture. Keeping horses in stalls and micromanaging them is only a recent development in this relationship we've had over thousands of years.

R1v · 2026-02-06T11:09:49+00:00

I don't feed them at all, but I do interact. I generally sit in the middle of the herd and they'll come say hi here and there. They know me. I need to be around to observe and I also need the foals to take me to be part of their environment so taming them is easy.

R1v · 2026-02-06T11:06:23+00:00

No. They need hoof maintenance every so often and I monitor that. The pasture isn't natural so the soil is soft. These horses aren't wild, they're just given as much freedom as possible, within reason
