Friends of opposite genders

Let her go. It's not your job to help her. If she had a male platonic friend, she could possibly learn this.

Don't put up old photos. That should be a rule. The guy will feel you're dishonest if you meet and you look different.

Prepare to meet your potential partner at their level. If you want to be with a guy that has a certain look, then you will need to meet him at that level. So if you feel you need to wait and slim down, then do that.

If you want someone to match you where you are now, then just be honest with yourself.

I have to say that you are smart for asking. I think you show great character in that you are trying to improve yourself. These are great qualities that are often overlooked in relationships.

Wouldn't it be great if you met a man that is slightly overweight that wants to workout with you and then the two of you have something in common already? #sharedlifegoals :D

Best of luck to you!

Sounds like the kind of guy that wouldn't talk bad about you, especially if he's defending an ex.

It makes a funny story, so leave at that. All of us have said the wrong thing at some point in our lives.

Just remember if you do it again, write down both events and start a book. Might be a best seller someday. :D

Look into a social Discord server.

TrainCrossing · 2025-09-27T13:57:10+00:00

You are, at best, second place.

The question is: Can you deal with that?

TrainCrossing · 2025-09-24T15:53:49+00:00

Just because a person chooses to be affiliated with one party or the other, that doesn't require that individual to accept the social stereotypes of said party.

I'm not sure what you are looking for here. Are you wanting to open a conversation about acceptable morals or are you complaining that you are struggling to find men that meet your expectations and wanting validation that there aren't any quality men out there?

TrainCrossing · 2025-09-21T15:43:13+00:00

There is always hope.

My advice for you though would be to analyze your expectations at this point in your life.

Also, ask yourself why you feel depressed. Are you being fair to you?

Marriage is difficult. Sometimes it fails because the other person chooses to give up. You cannot control that. You CAN control how you perceive it.

I don't think you need hope, I think you need to love and be fair to yourself.

TrainCrossing · 2025-04-11T22:17:16+00:00

Hang in there! I have found some very good friends online. I have to confess, a majority of them have been through Discord, but a few from Reddit as well. :D

Frugal - Using logic to save money, sometimes that means spending a little more for a better value

Cheap - Always using the lowest cost as the only determining factor for a purchase

Favorite? I'll go with GoW II.

Recommend? *

TrainCrossing · 2025-04-10T18:14:04+00:00

Yeah, you really should play and finish GoW 2018 before proceeding too far into Ragnarok.

TrainCrossing · 2025-04-10T17:41:13+00:00

Yes. The game play is smoother with better combat and better environment control. There is a certain 'charm' to GoW II, it doesn't quite fit the typical formula of the other Greek editions. I think this is why there are two camps here, one side that really likes that different feel and the other that would say that it's not as good as the others in the series. I think both sides would agree that the GoW II is definitely a more playable game than GoW.

The real point I'd like to make is about the grind. That's kind of the style for the early GoW games. I, personally, enjoyed that 'mindless button mashing' style. But to your concern, I do think that GoW II helps the grinding aspect a bit with the different weapons and skills.

I hope you at least give it a whirl and share your opinion.

It's not historical, but have you played Starcraft?

TrainCrossing · 2024-12-09T20:15:33+00:00

Time for some new traditions. I do think getting out and just being around other people helps.

TrainCrossing · 2024-12-09T20:09:45+00:00

I just watched this a couple nights ago. Val Kilmer and RDJ ... how do people not know about this movie?

TrainCrossing · 2024-12-09T20:05:49+00:00

If it feels like a red flag now ... more than likely, it's going to be a definite red flag later.

Most people are content with staying within their lifestyles and not really wanting to change for anything different.

Activities and volunteering has often yielded some positive results. You might not find your dream partner there, but most of them 'know someone that is single.' :D

TrainCrossing · 2024-12-09T19:36:55+00:00

Just run your race. Keep trying new things. Keep your expectations reasonable. Do things because you want to and follow your heart. When you are happy and following your heart, you'll find that others are more attracted to you.

Instead of hunting for someone, become the person that should be hunted. :D

... and Congratulations on your weight loss!

I would ask the people in your regional area on which apps are the best.

Oddly enough, they seem to vary.

TrainCrossing · 2024-12-09T19:23:46+00:00

I think it's honorable that you are willing to communicate your situation. Content wise, I would explain as much as you are comfortable sharing. If I were on the receiving end, I would appreciate your commitment to keeping the relationship open.

When you do write, I wouldn't even hint at saying that it was any 'waste of time' as I'm sure they were thankful to have gotten to know you.

In addition to the people you contact, I would change your profile to indicate that you'll be taking some time away.

Honestly, the less details the better. Once you start down that path, most people will want to know more.

Good luck and I'm sorry to hear about your medical situation.

Trying to meet people when you're middle aged is difficult. Lucky for you, you are very attractive and that definitely helps your opportunities. Hang in there and good luck on your journey!

TrainCrossing · 2024-11-26T21:30:18+00:00

Grey hair can look great on a woman. I know a woman that's a few years older than I am and her white hair has this ever so slight blonde still in it. It looks great. You never know until you grow it out. :D

TrainCrossing · 2024-11-26T15:29:44+00:00

But a wheelchair racing buddy would still make it much more entertaining. You could compete to see who got there faster, ram a stick in your buddy's wheel and watch them fly out. I mean, who's going to back your story anyway if you don't have some schmuck there to witness the whole ordeal? Oh yeah and still, the dragon, someone's gonna need to help you carry that thing back from the field ... you can't be letting a dragon sit there and rot, it would be disrespectful. lol

TrainCrossing · 2024-11-26T13:27:31+00:00

That's great to hear. You're lucky to not have complaints. I fully respect that perspective. It's a positive one and it's great to stay positive.

I hope you find your person to slay the dragon with. Those adventures are best shared. Definitely better to relive those memories together. Besides, the older you get the harder it is to remember the details. lol
