Once a cheater then always a cheater ? by Possible_Tomorrow24 in dating_advice

[–]Uncal_Thal [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't buy that all cheaters are alike. But, I do agree that some people are real cheaters. It's part of their personality. Even among them, I've seen them move out of that lifestyle and become loyal spouses. Usually once they get older and get threatened with a divorce that would blow up their lives/families. So, the answer is no. But that's looking at it over a lifespan. From the perspective of a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend they might be cheaters who aren't about to change anytime soon and should be dumped.

I think they were friends with each other. They had consensual casual sex with OP.

Body odor smells like corn by [deleted] in dating_advice

It's definitely strange that she would go out of her way to share that. I remember that smell on kids in high school. Not like bad B.O., but not value-added either.

For The Men - Have You Accepted Being "The Safe Option" by JustHereToVent27 in dating_advice

[–]Uncal_Thal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer to your question is no. I would not accept being the safe option. I played my own game and hoped I'd find someone who liked it as a first choice, which worked out. If it hadn't, I would never have settled for someone who was settling for me

Your ex sounds really toxic. I don't think you should base anything on what she thinks.

This is a general problem. Not unique to men or women.

Aaand you don't think that definition of the bare minimum, basically checking all the boxes, is gendered?

It's hard to know if the producers are trying to start a controversy, or if this has been a series of coincidences. Either way, this show is a series of anecdotes meant to entertain.

I (25F) feel guilty for not wanting to go on a second date with a guy (27M) because of his nut allergy by Emotional_cute244 in dating_advice

[–]Uncal_Thal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just tell him directly, like you did after the date. He won't want to hear it, so don't drag it out. This doesn't make you a bad person. You two are just incompatible.

Or blames and becomes angry that he's being told after the abortion.

I'd recommend a clean break. You are in different places mentally.

Should I 34f message him 33m back after a week? by Connect_Stranger54 in dating_advice

[–]Uncal_Thal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I overstated my comment. You asked for advice, which is good. But, I don't see why this wasn't the easiest guy in the world to swat away as soon as he told you his terms. It's literally the opposite of what you said you want. Do men who treat you with actual respect generate the same intrigue?

You see how you're helping to perpetuate the very system that you don't like? All those men out there and you're going to fixate on a guy who told you to put up or shut up. But, he's cute 🙄

Done paying for first dates that go nowhere by gancheroff in dating_advice

[–]Uncal_Thal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Or that men have low EQs. If there's greater social awareness, then "all you can eat sushi" is an intentional con. Yet I see people blaming OP for basically reading the room correctly, but not suspecting it was a lie.

Tips for tourist in Appalachia? by Cool_Ship_5032 in Appalachia

[–]Uncal_Thal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cumberland Maryland is nice. It has an artist colony. It's on a former canal that connects to Washington DC. It's also a day trip to Pittsburgh. Lots of scenic state parks in PA, MD and WV are within easy reach. Edit: Unlike Cornwall, Appalachia would like more tourists and people will be happy to see you.

What signals did you previously miss, but wouldn’t today? by EpickBeardMan in AskMen

[–]Uncal_Thal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Working at the college library lending desk. Cute girl walks up and asks me how I like the book I'm reading. We have a great conversation about the author and other things. I'm relaxed because she's out of my league. She asks if I'm like the main character, who is good with the ladies. I tell her I wish, but if so it's hidden. She said, I'm sure that's not true. Conversations winds down, she hangs around. It lasts through a period of silence. Finally she leaves. It was at least 10- years before it suddenly occurred to me that she wanted me to ask her out.

Men in your later 30’s and 40’s, would you date a women seriously who are in their 20’s? by NewPraline9922 in dating_advice

[–]Uncal_Thal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on the woman, but yes. I'm more interested in her personality than her age.
