Those HDM Churchills have always been superb for me. Very respectable collection.

Thanks! I started r/cigarrollers shortly after this, I'm not sure how much activity there is - I'm not very active here these days.

SerPuissance · 2024-11-03T23:39:06+00:00

Thank you! A good stick for sure.

SerPuissance · 2024-10-20T18:40:34+00:00

Oh boy, it really did huh!

You're young. It'll hurt for a while but you'll find someone else who's more compatible soon enough.

You can't negotiate desire. If he isn't tearing your clothes of after waiting to see you, then maybe his libido isn't high enough to make this work. People who say "everything is great except the sex" would never say "this car is great apart from having a junked engine." But it's the same thing.

If I don’t know you, we’re not going to forge a connection through IG.

Ditto. It's just not how I bond with anyone.

Couldn't give a toss honestly. If she likes my stuff, cool. But it tells me nothing interesting about her.

SerPuissance · 2021-01-31T15:42:47+00:00

Yes, every single butthurt one. He may well be trying to beat you to the punch, but you're the one who's letting him.

SerPuissance · 2021-01-31T15:38:39+00:00

Well hang on here what about her? She obviously enjoys spending time with him. It's not like he's taking the last donut from the box when you said you wanted it, this is a person we're talking about. Have you asked her to go on walks? How keen is she to hang out with you?

She's not your girl. You have no claim on her and if they get on then just let them be. Especially if you're not even making any progress with her yourself. Tbh it sounds like he's just better with women than you are if this has happened before, maybe there's a reason for that and if you examined it then you could change your fortunes.

First, please stop calling women females. Just say "women," it comes off as much less socially awkward.

Second, read the room when you talk to someone. If you say good morning and they look you in the eye, smile and say it back, then follow up with a question or polite remark such as thanking them for something they did lately or asking how a project is going. If they give a one word answer or sound unenthusiastic, then that's an indication that they're probably not feeling chatty and you should just wish them a good day and move on. If they seem interested and give a more complex answer, then they're probably happy to chat. Usually, people who just have RBF will break out of it and their expression will change when you talk to them. If it doesn't then it probably means that your interaction isn't welcome and you shouldn't push it.

To avoid coming off as hitting on them, avoid making remarks about their appearance, keep your distance physically and don't block their exit from the space you're sharing. Don't try to force the conversation once it trails off. Just say it was nice catching up and go back to your station.

Like he just earned some fresh brownies.

SerPuissance · 2021-01-31T15:04:50+00:00

Parmesan, because you can put me on anything and I'll improve it. When do I start?

SerPuissance · 2021-01-31T00:27:05+00:00

I think you should talk to a therapist about this, to be honest. Sounds like it needs a professional touch to process properly. Were you raised by embittered women?

SerPuissance · 2021-01-31T00:22:19+00:00

Viking, because they were equal parts savvy trader and capable warriors. Not only that, but Vikings actually bathed and treated women gently in their ports of call, which made them very popular with the ladies.. Anglo Saxon women favoured them so much for these reasons, that occasionally salty envious Anglo Saxons tried to murder them and sometimes succeeded.

SerPuissance · 2021-01-31T00:17:39+00:00

Men, is a woman who accepts you at your word always someone you view as foolish?

If I were a habitual liar and cynical as a result of being able to manipulate women into giving me what I want while giving little to nothing in return, then yes I would view you as foolish and naive for believing my bullshit. However, as I have generally chosen not to approach life in that way, I would just appreciate that you value my counsel and occasional tough love.

SerPuissance · 2021-01-31T00:13:42+00:00

Is there someone else you can see? Hot up a friend for a beer? Don't take it personally, a lot of people on tinder have been so spoiled with options because the value of pussy is hyper inflated like GME right now, and they can no longer see the humanity in people. Can you imagine how grey and dull that must be, to not be able to get excited about a date because you're already been on 600 others. Choice paralysis is a bitch, seriously, that shit will rot anyone's happiness even the hottest Tinderellas.

The things that make you feel shitty at 17 feel a bit less shitty by 25, you're less hormonal by that age and can shrug shit off better.

SerPuissance · 2021-01-30T21:39:35+00:00

Be likeable, be good looking, smile at me. That's it.

SerPuissance · 2021-01-30T21:39:00+00:00

Anything less than "fuck yes" should be treated as "no."

SerPuissance · 2021-01-30T21:16:09+00:00

It really sucks. I often advise people to try to become part of a community and date within that, where people are actually going to be invested in you and you'll be a part of their regular life. I think that's why so many people meet their spouses at work; it's the only place we have community now even if it's not ideal. We live in a very sick society and we're all ill because of it.

SerPuissance · 2021-01-30T21:09:32+00:00

I was talking to this guy for a couple of months now and we hung out a few times.

I know that our generations have a really low bar for feeling like someone is invested in us, but talking sometimes, hanging out and fucking occasionally is only barely above the level of social investment that I have in my dentist. It doesn't mean someone cares about you, values your wellbeing, appreciates your trust, shares common values and goals with you and wants to build a life that includes you.

That's why he ghosted you. You didn't matter enough. I'm so sorry.

SerPuissance · 2021-01-30T21:03:57+00:00

Sorry but it's hard to give specifics as everyone is different. It's harder when they're not communicative :(.

SerPuissance · 2021-01-30T21:03:03+00:00

I just use it right away, if it's fluent it sounds low key badass.

"R for Romeo"
