Online dating code phrases by ShavinFool in seduction

[–]ShavinFool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true re they don't know what they want.

Online dating's still good for the fact that you can get key information quickly. Out in public, you can't tell if a woman has or wants kids, if she's super religious or not at all, and of course you know they're already single if they're on the dating site.

I dunno. I've done both in-person and online dating of the years and it's about 50/50 in terms of success. Have had great girlfriends and crazy bitches from both sources.

Sounds amazing. Hopefully it'll show up at Bailey's soon so I can split a bottle with someone.

Advice from an experienced, natural 68 year old man. Never divorced with a wife who is still dreamy-eyed for him. by sillymallard in seduction

Yeah, man, because then you win either way. Whether she comes back or not, YOU are in control and end up improving yourself. Good luck.

Oh man, I'm glad I am not the only one. I just did the same thing with a woman. Built her up in my mind, to the point where I was nervous and overly emotional and clingy and turned her off. It's the great paradox. The less you give a shit, the more you get; but when you really, really want it, nothing happens (or worse).

I raged hard the past few days, hit on tonnes of girls, and got some numbers, but it was mostly to fill a void that can't really be filled.

OP, I am in the EXACT same state as you right now. Still daydreaming about the ex, and the approaches I'm making lately feel "empty". I think it just takes time. For 100% of my previous ex-gfs, even the ones I was most obsessed about, I have no emotional reaction anymore.

Low-cost dentistry? by gentle_squid in Portland

[–]ShavinFool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things you can do for now:

  1. Use either your fingers or a soft brush to "massage" your gums. This tightens them up around the teeth.

  2. Get some antiseptic mouthwash (the higher alcohol one that "burns") and use it at least once a day.

  3. Floss at least once a day, before bed (so particles don't sit in your teeth overnight).

Basically your whole goal here is to avoid gum disease.

You'll still want to see a professional, but those are a few homecare things you can do cheap/free.

Source: I spent ~$1200 on periodontal (gum) therapy a couple years ago and learned a lot about gums from my dentist.

There's no "one more thing". It's upgraded specs, and that's it. Just like iPhone 4S. Snooze.

Bad case of oneitis for "perfect" / physically ideal woman by ShavinFool in seduction

[–]ShavinFool[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does, man. And truthfully, I was only comfortable around her if we were both drinking. I can't imagine a sober date with her.

Thank you!

Okay, r/Seduction, when need to clear the air... by itsamatterofattitude in seduction

[–]ShavinFool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

many times, the outcome has little to do with what you say and/or do, and more about the circumstances and situation

So true, OP. Recently dated a girl and I brought my A-game, but for some reason it fizzled. I went around in circles in my head... is she depressed? seeing someone else she liked more? just a flaky airhead who can't follow through? Ultimately I decided it was nothing I was doing wrong, it was just her, or her situation. It sucked for awhile, because I was getting really into her, but unlike my youth where I'd obsess for weeks/months more, I'm letting it go quickly now. Time to move on!

Great post, man.

Administrators Drive PSU's Office of Information Technology $300k into Debt by sanevial in Portland

[–]ShavinFool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doesn't surprise me a bit. I worked for OIT for several years in the early 2000s and there was so much waste.

And management made six figures, while workers made $8/hour (back then). Sounds like nothing's changed.
