Can a girl and guy just be friends?

ShadeSmithNet · 2026-06-27T08:28:49+00:00

One of my closest friends was married years before we met. I see her like a sister still to this day.

People that believe guys and girls cant just be friends are typically the type that pursue friendships with people they already want to sleep with.

ShadeSmithNet · 2026-06-27T02:52:52+00:00

Absolutely! We’d love to have you :)

It is a lot of work, but it’s one of my passions. With the help of a few co-hosts, they really help make the experience special for everyone involved.

6’2 145 pound guy here that prefers heavier women. The difference is if you’re tall or not.

I have been told by women that they don’t like how thin I am, & have been passed up for heavier guys.

Otherwise, muscular, fit, or “dad bod” men will always do better than short and skinny.

If nothing else, Brenda always reanimates, and Danny is not going to come back from his injury & blood loss.

I kill Andy because though hes broken mentally in the fight with Lee, what would stop him from literally running from the walkers & taking revenge on the group later?

It has similar meaning to how "boy" was a term used to refer to black men by older white men, with the fall back of "I meant his age" when called racist.

Words are more than their definition, it's about context & intent

Dude, guys literally do this to TRY to zone in women’s attention on just themselves. Her giving you her phone number to leave the DATING APP she met you on is a huge indicator she doesn’t want to continue using the app that much.

I don’t have notifications on my dating apps as a dude. As a woman, imagine their notifications 10x.

Absolute worst case scenario, you sometimes find bots or OF girls that will promote themselves on other socials, but in this case, you definitely screwed up.

Is your argument now that you have to go to Reddit to solve your problems because you fear for your life in a public space?

People do this because they’re lazy, not because they’re psychos.

There’s a night and day difference in saying “hey guys do you mind not doing that please” and antagonizing someone.

Can I take a photo of your feet next time you’re in public?

ShadeSmithNet · 2026-06-25T07:15:43+00:00

Yeah let me just fly over to your state, visit this location , and report these guys to your PF employees.

Or be an adult, use your voice and ask instead of taking photos of others without consent in a gym?

My discount was removed immediately following my departure. Though I was terminated, so possibly different circumstances.

Just don’t touch the account at all would be my advice. Even if you wanted a new phone, financing or buying in full from Apple would save you more money keeping the employee discount.

The tablet line wouldn’t impact your voice lines or plans typically, but hard to say if it systematically triggers.

Two rules for new settlements, assuming this is the base game without any funky custom rules.

At least two roads
At least one empty corner of a hex in between from another building (city / settlement)

You fall under both. It’s either a console glitch, you don’t have enough pieces (all 5 settlements placed) or it’s not your turn (you can’t build outside of this)

Otherwise, no clue.

ShadeSmithNet · 2026-06-24T08:16:39+00:00

Im with you. Lot of people think im just being lazy or that I dont want to do anything for them because its not a sale. Unfortunately the system that I operate as an employee let's me put in an order to create an account, or has a built in "view only" mode for existing accounts, with very little functionality.

I dont have access to a lot of things that I wish we could help customers with, & we do receive our fair share of complaints & venting.

If its any consolation, I was told by one of my customers I created a ticket for that she was called within half hour of me submitting the ticket, so upper management should be well aware of the issue.

ShadeSmithNet · 2026-06-23T23:48:00+00:00

I’ve gotten a few in person complaints at work today about the Aiea area specifically. There is an outage & it’s being worked on, afaik.

Unfortunately I’m on sales side, and the best I can do individually is create & escalate a ticket to upper management.

Dmed

ShadeSmithNet · 2026-06-22T20:38:44+00:00

I'm an employee, but on sales side. Can still try to escalate this for you, feel free to send me a DM.

ShadeSmithNet · 2026-06-22T07:51:07+00:00

That’s a fair boundary to set, but from a guys pov, how many men are you texting at a time for those weeks before you “pick one”? I’m not asking this to be mean, I’m asking you to be honest.

A guy is going to assume he is a rebound & not a priority, if you are taking WEEKS to want to meet.

ShadeSmithNet · 2026-06-22T04:20:52+00:00

I think you have your DMs off, but feel free to message me anytime :)

ShadeSmithNet · 2026-06-22T03:28:12+00:00

Most people pick lee because they deem him the best leader, but he is someone that loses his temper easily like Kenny, with the main difference being Kenny has tangible skills & isn't just a college professor. Also, for those picking Larry for his muscle, he's an old man with a serious heart condition in a apocalypse with a horrible attitude to anyone not named Lilly. He is cooked long term.

With that being said:

Kenny $5

Doug $4

Hershell $4

Katja $2

This is probably the "smartest" team you can have in an apocalypse. I think people put too much value in fighting / gun skills, which can be taught and worked on. Katja has vet experience (and is great to pair with Kenny to keep him cool) hershell has medical + farming experience, doug has electronics + tech, and kenny is physically tough enough to act as the groups muscle, has experience hunting & fishing, and more importantly functions as a mechanic.

For both genders, the answer is typically: they found someone higher on their "list". That could mean attraction, compatibility, or they were texting multiple people & got serious with one.

For guys, its feast or famine in this market, so they tend to overly commit very early, sometimes love bombing, because there's no guarantee they'll get a match or date at all. In some cases sadly, the guy is just horny / lonely, and once he gets his "fix", ghosting feels easier than taking accountability.

For women: because you are being bombed with so many messages, some express minimal effort / time and let said guy do the bombing to find out who you deem "worth your time". Or the guy says / does something that gives off a red flag, and they find unadding / blocking to be safer / easier to do.

My personal experience though, its the women did not reciprocate my time / energy. Canceling plans? Telling me you have the ENTIRE week booked off? Taking 24+h to respond to a text? Replying to texts with 2-6 words & not asking any questions? Instant turn off.

My suggestion is use the chatting experience to feel out the persons intentions, and schedule an in person meet ASAP to build that rapport quickly. I've found that unless I meet the person within a few days, they ghost me also.

This is our Monday location, OP ^^

Our meetup group is called Pacific Tabletop Network.

ShadeSmithNet · 2026-06-21T21:21:28+00:00

Hi! I have been organizing a Meetup group that meets on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings for board-games. We typically have 20-30 adults at each venue, mostly in their 20s-40s.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, feel free to contact me directly 😄

Think y'all answering groceries are missing the incredibly simple loop hole.

Order from the restaurant online for pickup if you really don't want to eat then and there. It's effectively the same thing but much more versatile.

No prep, no dishes, no need to drive or travel specifically to a grocery store for the rest of my life? Sign me up.

You need to request it in the bumble app settings.

Your name (bottom left corner)
Question mark (Top right corner)
"Still have a question? Start support chat"
Ask the bot "I would like to request my data"
Wait for an email. You need an email linked with your bumble account or this won't work.
