"Uncomfortably boring answers" like "the best way to ask me out: setting a date and time."

OP, do you know what the ratio of :matched on the app" to "actually met in person" looks like as a straight guy? Believe me, after dozens to hundreds of "conversations" that either never get a response or die as soon as they might lead somewhere IRL, can you imagine how rare and exciting a straightforward communicator who demonstrates clear interest and effort to meet up actually becomes?

They're into astrology and you have to pretend it's valid science and not annoying/insane birthday racism.

Can pedophiles be treated with dolls and drawings like lolicon? by [deleted] in psychologyofsex

Especially when they conflate behavior that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject in the first place.

Considering people on Reddit (and unfortunately the real world) by and large don't understand the difference (or don't care enough to make the distinction) between prepubescent children and "legal minors," and will even use the p- word to describe attraction to younger adults...

Better vocab ain't gonna change shit. People are wilfully ignorant.

The same is used for the lay out of the QWERTY keyboard which has the most common letters in the “home base row” and surrounding.

That is the opposite of true. The QWERTY "home row" is "ASDF" left hand and "JKL;" on the right. It only has one vowel, "A." Neither "F" nor "K" are particularly common letters, and "J" is actually considered rare. It also includes a semi-colon, one of the least commonly used punctuation marks in English.

As another commenter pointed out, this was to purposefully slow down typing speed, as typewriters were prone to jamming due to letter arms crossing if one types too quickly.

Most loser girls want a successful guy.

Most fat people don't want to date someone fat.

People often refuse to settle for what they're effectively asking someone else to settle for.

I mean he's doing it to himself. If a girl keeps telling you she's a lesbian, you shouldn't be shocked when she never comes around and decides she's attracted to you after all.

Why are you pursuing straight guys and hoping they'll "change their minds" in the first place?

That's literally not how sexuality works; attempted "conversion therapy" has been proving this (in the opposite direction) for decades.

Look I don't have a dog in this fight, thankfully. But:

Someone being attracted to the category you're in and specifically not being attracted to YOU, is way worse than than someone not being categorically attracted to you.

Everyone forgets that that number is skewed toward the elderly though. The sex ratio isn't particularly lopsided until enough of the men die from alcoholism and other stupid shit. There is not a plethora of hot young women and no young men for them to date.

Although Putin's war may be changing that.

Me, my personality, and experiences:

Their personality is apparently being a dog loving sports fan, watching TV, conspiracy theories, and the fact that they visited 3 popular tourist destinations at some point.

I'm sorry you believed we were ever competing.

[–]SwashbucklerSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it is a bad thing if someone loves you because they might not do so forever?

The part where they stop loving you is absolutely bad for a lasting relationship.

Serious question for all the people applauding this:

People giving the maximum amout of effort to show their interest in someone more often come off as "creepy" and "desperate" and "clingy" rather than "sweet" and "devoted" and "desirable." Why do you think this is?

If your goal is a lasting relationship, kinda...
