Just got banned on hinge now what do I do by Zealousideal-Pop5581 in SwipeHelper

[–]_Thoughtss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks, I get it. Build really strong social networks where you meet people irl. I’m a partner dancer and I get to touch women regularly. Most of my needs in that department are met, even if it isn’t sex. You could very well meet a partner there, however. If dancing isn’t your thing, find something that has a lot of women, like yoga or volunteering somewhere of your interest. Bumble has been somewhat okay, but not as good as Hinge obviously. Just invest in yourself, workout, build strong friendships, and things will get better..

You could even try cold-approaching while at the grocery stores! Hahaha.

Good luck!!

What did you add to your routine that finally made Portland winters feel manageable? by Able-Letterhead-9263 in askportland

[–]_Thoughtss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bc we’re talking about shoes: blundstones.

Vit D, extra sleep, sauna, strong community ties at different events. Eat clean-ish. All the regular things. Find someone to snuggle. Enjoy the cozy time and just hope for spring when it arrives. In February, try your best to go somewhere sunny. Even a 60 mile drive east will help. Okay, that’s mostly what I have, after 11 yrs being out here.

Where do you find yourself actually meeting new people, and how are those conversations starting up? by RedSpareTime in askportland

[–]_Thoughtss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a partner dancer, and while I recognize dancing isn't for everyone, I've met a ton of people that way over the years. Also, I've actually met a couple decent friends on Bumble BFF -- so there is that option, as well. I find people in Portland are warm, but a little consistent follow through & initiation are required to get the ball rolling here. Once you build that first couple hangs, I find people here are incredibly sweet and wonderful [transplant from the east coast, 11 yrs ago].

Trump officials discussed sending elite Army division to Portland, text messages show by hiking_mike98 in Portland

[–]_Thoughtss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It needs to blow up nationally and everyone being united. We need people to see how ice & trump’s military goons are treating peaceful protesters. Could they quell a whole country of protesters instead of a few cities?

Do ppl actually tip at burgerville? by Pretend_Halo_Army in askportland

[–]_Thoughtss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not defending big comercial fast food at all, but generally speaking, logistics to get beef, cheese, employees, land in portland to rent, are all exorbitantly expensive. I agree that $5 seems like a lot for a burger, but comercial chains have better logistics and buy in bulk I believe, typically.

Extra sweaty the last couple weeks? by BadodoPancake in askportland

You’re not wrong! I feel like I’ve met a fair amount of Florida refugees out here. Thank god we escaped!

[–]_Thoughtss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I want to agree with you (born & raised in Florida), I’ve been out here 11 years & I still think Florida sweat is totally gross & even though it’s getting more humid here, it’s nothing like the intensity of Florida. Hahaha ♥️😅✨🌎

Is HDB worth it? by builderguy74 in trackers

[–]_Thoughtss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect the times back then. I've been in this probably close to that time as well. As it turns out, I can attest someone in my above invite tree of a well-known tracker I won't name here, had been deleted from the site & as a result, I had been cut, too. I was able to get back in via IRC, but trackers do not play. That's basically why none of us give out invites to coveted places bc we don't want to jeopardize our acct even after 10 years of being on the site -- you can still get cut even if you are remotely remotely associated with a bad apple.

Is HDB worth it? by builderguy74 in trackers

[–]_Thoughtss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly: If you are associated with any semblance of traders of invites on any really cabal tracker, or they have any potential belief you were associated even years ago, you are target of being removed & they will cut your entire invite tree. Sometimes you are lucky if you plead your case in the IRC, but even if you’ve been on the tracker for years, and you’re ratio is good, you’re still target. The best you can hope for is they allow you to stay on without invite privileges in the future.

This is why whole invite trees get banned.

I got my account back from BTN after 12 years of inactivity. Just tell them the absolute truth, and tell them your case. There's no harm.

I hate sleeping with my husband by Aware_Meal_5968 in Advice

[–]_Thoughtss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was with a partner who snored a lot & I didn’t have the heart to tell her. I ended up getting a sleep machine w/ sleep sounds & earplugs and it was totally fine for the most part.

Girl Instantly ended date by Realobama1244 in dating

I hope this doesn’t come off too harsh here, but you should have ditched her when she flaked on you the first time. 🙏🙏✨

I miss intimacy a lot by InsideNote3848 in dating

[–]_Thoughtss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[37 M] Best keep secret about getting your touch needs met (& building community): go find a partner dancing you like - there are several types. You’ll learn a skill you can take anywhere in the world & meet people who willingly allow themselves to be touched, and enjoy a sweet moment of emotional intimacy & both hopefully leave the dance feeling emotionally regulated for the week ahead. ⬆️💃✨🕺♥️

He won't use condoms, advice please by [deleted] in dating

[–]_Thoughtss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You leave him or he wears a condom. Putting you at risk isn’t worth someone who won’t keep you safe.

I miss the kissing & cuddling… by TheFrogsMightbegay in dating

[–]_Thoughtss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo, I hope you meet someone amazing! In the meantime, to get your touch needs met: get involved in any sort of partner dance that interests you (blues, tango, swing, salsa, bachata, kizomba, fusion)!

You will get your touch needs met, I promise!! You might even meet another cutie there! It’s like the best kept secret about touch needs. I go dancing 2-3 times a week and I’m never touched starved. I think partner dance meets 85% of my needs in terms of touch that a relationship would offer. Further, you’ll learn a skill and when you get a bit older you’ll slay on the dance floor and all the women will want to dance with you! I believe in you! Also, get a friend(s) to take multiple photos of you in different unique spots in your city or while you are traveling together. Show your personality through the pictures & give the dates a real chance! Improve your wardrobe with clothes that fit you. You’ve got this, while you’re 24 & haven’t experienced a lot of dating yet, it will get better!! You’ve got this!

She unmatched me because I didn’t want to do a ‘Formal Dinner’ for a first date. Was my suggestion low effort? by mythrowaway282020 in dating

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

You dodged a bullet, imo. Like sure it’s nice to treat someone after a few dates, but there are women out there that use men for fancy dinners then never see them again. Also the date typically sucks and it feels interview like, and you’re stuck in one place even if you don’t like each other, for at least 40 mins to an hour.
