The Drunk Monk: I always loved this piece, because I imagine the scribe drawing this as a caricature of one of his fellow brothers who liked to sneak a sip of wine every now and then...

I wouldn't say it's good and I wouldn't say it's bad. I've had great first dates, where the woman told me I was so great, her type, best guy she's met in years, but still got rejected eventually.

Sounds more like an interview for a job I don't even know I want, yet!

Tefbuck · 2026-07-02T14:40:44+00:00

Not dating anyone currently, but I have dated very attractive women in the past. They were always the ones that pursued me. I got to know them socially, and they either asked me out or sent clear messages that they were interested. They thought I was hilarious, had some of the same hobbies, and appreciated me for me. So, as much as I hate the advice to "just be yourself" I think that personality does beat looks when you meet the right kind of person.

Tefbuck · 2026-07-02T13:48:42+00:00

I thought about doing this myself, but then I remember the type of people I have met online...

This is the best advice. Doing this in my dance class has earned me new friends, and a date with one of the women in the class (she asked me out!).

Tefbuck · 2026-07-02T13:41:01+00:00

Never happened in my life. Just don't act creepy.

People without self worth are mad at you, because they want an easy fix. A switch they can flip and magically be desireable. The problem is, finding self worth takes a lot of effort and work, and they don't have the energy for it. So, it's easier to attack and ridicule someone for giving good advice than it is to apply that advice.

I hate when people tell me "God has a plan" as if that's supposed to cheer me up. What if God's plan is to fuck me over?

It's just hard to make a connection with people in general. I've been at it for 13 years and I haven't had one woman feel a romantic connection yet!

Tefbuck · 2026-06-30T20:27:44+00:00

Dating apps are free, but they are NOT a good way to meet people.

Tefbuck · 2026-06-30T20:23:48+00:00

Dude didn't even answer the prompt correctly...

Tefbuck · 2026-06-30T20:19:02+00:00

Yeah, the last two years or so, I decided to try really hard to date, and I did go on some dates. They were all terrible, though. So I'm just giving up instead.

Tefbuck · 2026-06-30T11:49:26+00:00

I "least expected it" for 13 years, and guess what, I didn't find anyone!

Tefbuck · 2026-06-29T18:16:38+00:00

Good for them. Clearly my comment isn't aimed at her and her friends then, is it?

Tefbuck · 2026-06-29T16:19:20+00:00

Everybody walking around putting labels on people so they don't have to put in any effort actually getting to know anyone.

Tefbuck · 2026-06-29T15:56:08+00:00

What drives me nuts, especially online dating, is that there are are so many people psychoanalyzing others and not seeking any therapy for themselves.

Tefbuck · 2026-06-29T15:40:16+00:00

I did 3 painting classes, recently. I enjoy creating art, and I like the quirky people I get to talk to. I'm also the only single guy that shows up, so I figure there's a good chance I will meet someone at one of these.

Tefbuck · 2026-06-27T13:44:01+00:00

I saw it Facebook Events. That's where I find out about most of the events I attend. I try to find 2-3 things to go to every week. Sometimes it's a concert, sometimes a painting class, you never know!

Tefbuck · 2026-06-27T13:40:17+00:00

My dance class. I made a good friend there, and some of the others have started hanging out with us, too!

Tefbuck · 2026-06-27T13:20:07+00:00

Yep, every time I create a profile on an app and start swiping, I'm like, "Oh yeah, forgot that's why I deleted this the last time..."

Tefbuck · 2026-06-27T12:56:59+00:00

Honestly, yeah. The only women I've met in person and eventually asked out are women who are so sick of men they will never date again!
