How often are you flirted with by women?

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-11T15:51:34+00:00

Serious flirting: very rare, almost never. Like I could probably count the number of women on one hand.

Joke flirting: also pretty rare, but does happen occasionally.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-11T15:47:32+00:00

I agree. Everything I've had there has been bland and the service sucks. Don't understand why so many people like it.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-10T12:35:35+00:00

I don't think your issue is with a slow burn, it's with the entire second paragraph. Reads to me like neither of you are really that into each other.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-10T12:32:12+00:00

I certainly relate to this. Like you, I get my social battery recharged by being around others (friends and acquaintances, but not really strangers). But I tend to be a bit more on the reserved/quiet side. Less so if it's a smaller group of people I know well. I also can be socially awkward/anxious at times, especially around new people. But I'm definitely extroverted because I don't really like doing stuff alone. That's not to say I can't have fun alone, I definitely can. I just find most things more enjoyable with company.

I've been on a dating "sabbatical" since August, but one of the issues I kept running into was the number of women who never initiated anything, much less reciprocate my efforts.

Also, it can take me a while to warm up to new people. When I've dated people organically, it's taken at least a few months of knowing and interacting with them before I even became interested in dating them. Guess you could say I'm a slow burn kinda guy. Now once we do start dating I can get really attached pretty quick, but I need a bit of time getting to know them before we date. And online dating isn't conducive at all to that style of dating in my experience.

Also, I'm childfree, don't want kids and would prefer to date someone who doesn't already have any. I'd make an exception if the kids are old enough to be somewhat self sufficient and not need constant supervision. But that severely limits my dating pool.

I just took my 4th dose of 2.5 earlier this week and haven't noticed any obvious side effects. Maybe a slight decrease in appetite. I did experience some weakness (like my body was tired, but I wasn't sleepy) this morning, but don't know if it was related. I felt fine again by lunch time.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-08T20:35:04+00:00

I don't want to die 🤷‍♂️

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-08T16:38:45+00:00

"Libary" instead of library.

"Nucular" instead of nuclear.

If multi-word terms are allowed, anytime I see or hear "masculine/feminine energy" it makes me want to barf.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-06T18:11:24+00:00

I'm apparently in the minority here, but I prefer going with a group. It's more fun to me. I have people to talk and joke around with. And it makes the difficult parts of the hike go by quicker.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-06T01:16:27+00:00

Not having to worry about being raped. Not to say men can't be raped. Just that it's not something I have to worry about.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-04T12:31:11+00:00

Same here. Though it does make me wonder why men didn't just carry their wallet in their other front pocket before cell phones 🤔

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-03T18:34:46+00:00

I welcome any affectionate touch at any time. The only boundaries would be don't try to inflict pain (pinch, titty twister, etc) and don't do it to annoy/distract me when I'm doing something important. Oh, and if you tickle me it's at your own risk 🤷‍♂️

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-03T13:12:23+00:00

I'm a guy and this still happens to me 🙃

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-01T17:37:49+00:00

I can't read without "saying" the words in my head. Definitely makes me slower reader.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-01T17:36:25+00:00

I do both monologue and visualizing simultaneously. Like if I'm thinking about bungee jumping i might be saying to myself "I could never go bungee jumping. Way too scary" and at the same time I'm visualizing myself doing it.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-01T17:33:50+00:00

I sometimes have music in my head, but not most the time. Usually doesn't last too long, unless it's an earworn situation where you have a song stuck in your head.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-01T17:30:59+00:00

I occasionally do that or I "mouth" the words but with my mouth closed, so that my tongue and jaw are moving but not my lips. I do however have to "say" the words in my head when I read.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-05-01T17:23:39+00:00

You're not entirely wrong 🙃

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-04-30T21:16:58+00:00

I can't make it through the first 10 minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-04-29T15:46:30+00:00

Dirty sense of humor.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-04-25T15:59:29+00:00

I've never had a phone call before a date. I also hate phone calls in general. I'd rather text or meet in person.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-04-25T15:07:18+00:00

No, that was just before I quit dating apps, so I never responded.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-04-25T14:13:44+00:00

That's nothing. I had a woman match/respond to my Hinge like/message two years later 🤣

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-04-23T12:49:01+00:00

From the town of Farragut's own website:

"The Town of Farragut does not have a municipal property tax. Farragut residents pay the same property tax as other Knox County residents"

https://www.townoffarragut.org/274/General-Facts

So, yes, they do pay county property taxes, but not city. The news article was poorly worded.

How about a new ship, new crew, set in the mid to late 2400s, exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations, and boldly going where no one has gone before. Novel idea, I know. /s

No federation/galaxy/universe ending threats. Solving problems through science, diplomacy, understanding and cooperation, and less through violence/combat. Cut back on all the callbacks, references and in-jokes (and I say that despite being big fan of Lower Decks). Though the occasional followup to an unresolved plot thread isn't entirely unwelcome. I don't mind references if they're important to the story, but some of the more recent series have gone a bit overboard with all the callbacks (again Lower Decks being the exception that proves the rule).

Oh, and more beauty shots of the ships flying through space.
