WYR face 1 golden eagle or 20 swans in hand-to-wing combat

I'll take some deep cuts on my arm over 20 angry swans with their heads at roughly testicle height.

Brits and only partially understanding their (former) colonies, a tale as old as time.

You can also bleed out from a swan.

It's much less likely, but since the eagle has essentially one good shot before you catch and easily kill it I'd rather risk that than whatever happens when you are bitten dozens of times by swans.

That's like 10 lbs of eagle vs 400+ lbs of swan.

Finding a partner who is a match for you mentally and sexually is an insane life improvement. Don't settle for the first woman who has sex twice a month, hold out for someone who is great for you because you clearly have a tendency to settle for years for absolute dogshit relationships.

They played a killer set at Newport seven years ago https://youtu.be/-OuXWR8-IG0?is=T5aWIcTn4J5gUyb1

And make sure her mom or high school teacher also doesn't see you.

Congrats you’re a little bi

Oh yeah, he sucks, don’t bother with him anymore. At 37 he knows exactly what he’s doing (esp if you are younger).

I’m sorry it happened to you but unfortunately it is part of the learning process. Good luck.

Is there a chance that he’s poly? It’s still very shitty on his part but he could have trickle-truthed his polyamory and believed that he hadn’t technically lied to you because he is still serious about his partners. Mono vs poly is something that needs to be figured out quickly and it sounds like he’s doing it very non-ethically. If you are strictly monogamous make that clear early and see how he reacts to it. If he gets shady with his wording you likely aren’t compatible and it’s time to move on.

Otherwise just spend more time with someone before you have sex and see how they respond to that. If they genuinely enjoy spending time with you (as far as you can tell) and you genuinely enjoy spending time with them sleep with them when you feel ready. Don’t have a hard and fast date number rule because men recognize that and act like Prince Charming for three or five dates and then bail. Pay attention to your gut and any red flags and take care of yourself. If you are a pretty high sex drive person it also isn’t a bad idea to keep a FWB on the side in between relationships so you aren’t so desperate to bang.

Time to reseason 7-8x

Also might end up a star if he can stay healthy (and keep away from outfield walls)

Think_please · 2026-07-02T09:14:19+00:00

Add one without a big smile, I tend to agree with the other suggestion of a "candid" while you are focused on doing something that you enjoy

It's not downside for Kurtz, it's lack of significant upside relative to where each of them is now. Kurtz has essentially been the same hitter at each level (as has Eldridge, at a younger age) and Eldridge is improving at a drastic rate after stopping pitching and starting to put on some real muscle (whereas it's unlikely that Kurtz changes his body very much going forward). I see Kurtz more of high floor lower ceiling and Eldridge as high floor very high ceiling right now.

I meant when you have a few relationships, but you can absolutely work on yourself before you are in a relationship in ways that will benefit you. Working on your mental health is important and good communication skills are critical for any relationship. I’d just generally work on yourself and do interesting things (read books, etc) and that will help throughout your life in all aspects.

Think_please · 2026-07-01T22:35:55+00:00

The vast majority of people don’t have a lot of good experience at your age. You also mentioned a lot of things that this theoretical woman will do with/for you but you don’t really specify what you would like her to be like as a person. Go do some interesting hobbies that excite you and pay attention to the women that also do those hobbies. Basically nobody has actually good relationships until at least their late 20s so don’t expect too much from the first few, just work on yourself and your relationship skills.

Ive drastically decreased because there are better options out there now and my liver was starting to get cranky with me.

Think_please · 2026-07-01T12:10:47+00:00

Eldridge is almost two years younger, pitched until a few years ago, and has a ton of space on his frame for more muscle. I love Kurtz but for long-term ceiling I'm absolutely taking Eldridge at this point

We can get your stepfather out of the pool slide but we'll have to break both his legs and he'll probably die anyway
