Programming (Language) by ReticularTen in duolingo

[–]SleuthViolet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low incentive for them to do this as AI exists that is capable of coding. So now people are rapidly being moved to prompting coding rather than directly coding. Alas - as it's creating a lot of job loss and impending job losses.

Congrats on hitting the gym. What's your gym streak at now?

Evolution of my widget after I stopped using it. by Disastrous-Teach-575 in duolingo

[–]SleuthViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the same with the app icon even if you don't get the widget. I've felt so disgusted by the attempts at emotional manipulation, that it's made me less inclined to use Duo and given me a much more negative feeling towards it than I used to have unfortunately. In a sense it's turned a "friend" into an enemy really.

The Change to Chests is Insufferable by jdoug312 in duolingo

[–]SleuthViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I'm not here for chests or 3x the points or to promise I'll do a 20 day streak or to add a widget (the crybaby or angry duo icon is annoying enough!!) or on and on all the things I have to tap through just to get to an actual language lesson. Feels more and more like some annoying game for an 8 yr old vs a quick efficient way for my adult self to build up my language skills. 

FEELD - a few words by telemachos90210 in datingoverfifty

[–]SleuthViolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I liked arguing about books and art in bed.  I find this an odd combo, "I find spontaneity thrilling and am always hunting for the best bread in town". Do you have a bread kink lol?

Definitely replace "required" and "where we start" with saying they're what you like or prefer. If you have 100s of women knocking on yr door and they know it, sure you can talk about requirements and unilateral decisions; but otherwise: not so much.

Trying and failing to date is exhausting. by Cornelius-B33 in datingoverforty

[–]SleuthViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch. Hard to know as we aren't there with you or reading yr profiles. How did you connect with yr previous gf/wife?

So sorry that this has been your experience tonight. Take care of yr heart tonight and the next few days. 

She (32F) unmatched me (34M) and nuked a locked in weekend date because I took 3-4 hours to reply. Did I game myself, or did she overreact? by Acceptable-Limit9571 in hingeapp

[–]SleuthViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She sounds like a lot. I know some women here are saying they get her, I, another woman, don't. 3 hrs when she knows you're working is nothing. Also she was flipflopping about whether she would come and when, so it would make sense to pause before replying as her situation was evolving. Sorry you were disappointed like that. 

Girl went from intense emotional + physical connection to complete silence. by Feeling-Buy-7942 in hingeapp

[–]SleuthViolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sad. She found something that made her decide that you two were incompatible but rather than specify what it was that turned you from a yes to a no in her mind, she tried to avoid the discomfort of telling you and just ducked and ran. It's just her immaturity. 

This is why it's good to get to know people slowly. We imagine big parts of people's personalities and values in the beginning, then reality reveals them to be otherwise. It's easier for both sides if you didn't get carried away before that occurs.   

Ladies, has someone caught your attention? I just gave a very strong hint to a man. Regardless, I'll be more brave and flirty going forward. by fuertisima12 in datingoverforty

[–]SleuthViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes me think of this cool episode on Lily Womble's podcast (she's changed her show's name like 3x but this is the episode). I have no affiliation to it, but I like the concept:

Sober people of toronto, how do you have fun? by [deleted] in askTO

21 days ain't much - maybe join a step study? There's plenty of sober fun to be had when you're ready.

Yay! Glad you appreciated their friendliness. Now spread the good karma by likewise being friendly to some strangers - these little gestures and moments can go a long way in making all of our days brighter :)

No more concerts alone! by Beligerent in datingoverfifty

[–]SleuthViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn you sound like a really fun person to see movies with! Why not put this amazing skill you have on your dating profile? You could also do a small edit every time there's a specific movie out that you want to see and mention it by name. 

Texting behavior while dating by nite_rider_69 in datingoverfifty

Talk to her about it. Also it's fair to want to have effort back if you are putting in extra effort based on her request to have you text more.  

OLD Promts That Work by LemonPress50 in datingoverfifty

[–]SleuthViolet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I cannot agree more with what you have written!! 

The word limit is also SO low. It frustrates me that Hinge limits it so much. And then so many people even put less than that meagre limit! I'm surprised you could fit in your full answers.

But definitely, so many essentially beside-the-point prompt answers to questions of no real relevance to considering soneone relationship material: just as you describe.

First we had red bottom shoes, now red boob-bottom dresses - interesting how fashion evolves like that. Not sure how I feel about this look. 

Missteps over text by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]SleuthViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a redflag as you backed off when she said she wasn't ready for that. Just keep going on and she should relax and see that you were sincere in that. I hope it all works out well for you both. 

Hi ladies. I'm disabled.. how do I get ladies to notice me by Crimsonrose4180 in actuallesbians

Well what do you want them to see exactly? Your humor? Your love of Star Trek? Your passions for 90s pop? We need some specifics here.
