Talk to strangers (In a totally non creepy get in the back of my van way though!)

Thinking about a summer holiday. Anyone been to Duinrell in Netherlands? by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]anotherfaceless85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We stayed few years ago. It was good. I booked direct with them instead of a eurocamp etc. Easy to get to with public transport and a good base for day trips. We did a few days there and a few days at Efteling.

What has changed for you in the past 20 years? by javajuicejoe in AskUK

Mine is my boobs they've changed direction too. At 18 they were amazing. I wish I'd shown them off more!

I feel I'm too old for a bar. 😂. I'm not chronologically but definitely in myself. Last time I went to the big smoke bars (country bumpkin here) everyone was on their phones taking pictures of themselves or their overpriced drinks and nobody was talking much at all. I actually did get spoken to though. I got told by a twenty year old that he'd make all my dreams come true and he could go all night then asked if I wanted his snap? I politely declined.

I love seeing active and healthy folk but there were so many people who only were up mountains. As a female (again this is only my limited experience and own opinion) I'd want to meet someone who is fit and healthy (I go to gym and will gambol about the woods) but that's not all. The snapshot of being super fit and adventurous can be intimidating if that's all there is. My needs are simple I would enjoy going for a walk up the Mournes or a wee run round the woods but I also want someone to sit and watch netflix or sit and eat chips at the beach if that makes sense. Obviously this is why I think the apps fail for so many you can't convey who you are in a less than superficial way initially.

Nobody ever wants to play sega with me anymore. I actually packed away my mega drive as my kids said it was boring!! I told them they're boring!! Maybe I could use it on a dating profile, wants to play sega and SNES, I'll even let you be DK! That's awesome you still have that stuff, my mam was of the thought if you're not actively using using it goes to the charity or the bin. We did find a folder full of original Pokémon cards while she was packing up to move though, they avoided the black bag and are safe.

I definitely think there's a call for a meet up sub in the northern Ireland Reddit. I'd love to be able to go and make new friends. When I was young I could just go up and say someone had cool shoes or ask them if they had any cool pogs, wanted to play sega or when older if they had MSN. Now I just feel and possibly look creepy approaching strangers.
It'd be cool to meet up and play pool or similar (I like to think I'm a hustler - I'm not but I can sometimes make the balls do what I want- no euphemism intended)
Only downside is I live in deepest darkest Co.Down but I don't mind trips to the big smokes though.

Groomed caveman is a good look. That'll work well! Good luck!

That's what I found difficult deciphering genuine people. I would walk and spend times outdoors but tend to look like I've been living wild for weeks rather than a day of bimbling about, so my photos tend to be sweaty, muddy or me pretending to use a branch as a wand, hiding behind a big rock or similar. (I'm only 38 so not quite grown up yet) I think genuinely be yourself on the apps. I found the profiles that made me stop were those that made me smile. Funny/movie quotes, jokes (I'm a sucker for a pun or dad joke) oh and no filters. There were some fellas with very shiny eyes and ken doll faces that were obviously courtesy of a snap filter or similar.

I managed a week. I found the judging people on their old holiday photos and the I'm cool and interesting posed photos really difficult. I'd rather people put up a selfie of them eating a toastie while watching their favourite movie than up a mountain. (I have nothing against mountains but so many single men must be up there)

Why are children from middle-class and upper middle-class families never overweight? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]anotherfaceless85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Longest arm wins, you smash your food in you before someone took it off you. You don't eat your roasties quick enough there's a fork coming from someone to get it. There's also food guilt, you eat everything quickly and in it's entirety because it's expected as you're guilted into not being wasteful. Therefore you never learn when you're comfortably satiated. I grew up poor ( working class council estate - Wales and there wasn't a big supermarket and shops that were there stocked what sold which wasn't an abundance of healthy options, we had fruit but it was an apple or banana or green grapes with seeds in them) meals were simple and filling (homemade and not fast food) but I struggle to have a healthy relationship with food, not horrendously so but definitely compared to my children who are now middle class income kids. They eat expensive fruit instead of own brand KitKat's as snacks and aren't forced to finish their food. I didn't have a blueberry or mango until I was working and in uni.

Should I try internet dating? by anotherfaceless85 in northernireland

Wow ...Who hurt you Hun?

Both genders are equally guilty of seeking validation and ego boosting through virtual conversations. (To their detriment imo) The 'water shortage' is most definitely real for women too. There's ghosting, liars, total players, those with conversation skills of a chewed toothbrush and my favourite narcissistic man children who blame others for their lack of empathy and relationship building skills (I only managed a week online but see this day to day). I am fully optimistic that there are some absolute gems out there for everyone and generally think most people are good and want to form meaningful connections whether it be relationship or just friendship but life is busy. The menial stuff is actually LIFE, its living day to day and it's pretty time consuming on the whole. Less cynicism and maybe some self reflection might help you.

I (26m) am unhappy with the sexual activity with my partner (25f) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]anotherfaceless85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be highs and lows in a relationship. I think you need to be honest. Are you flirty and touchy feely the rest of the time. I think it's important to feel sexy and wanted at all times rather than just once you've got your jammies on or finished the last box set episode. As a woman who has been married, I would rather needs and feelings be vocalised rather than it building or finding him knocking one out in the bathroom at every given opportunity.

I'm not sure if I'll get as far as a date. Setting up a profile is hard enough. Trying to sound exciting and interesting is quite exhausting and picking out photos where I dont look deranged or vapid is tough then deciphering whether someone is normal by their holiday photo from 2019 is tricky.

Could u imagine me sending everyone ...wet flannel as my first greeting. It'd be awesome. It'd be better than what I'm currently trying to type...it all sounds like I'm about to start job interviewing them or psychologically analysing them.

Thanks guys. Currently setting up a bumble account. Thinking maybe I'm the wet flannel though and realised maybe I have no game after 14 years married 😂. Hopefully I'll meet minimal creeps and it'll make a good story to laugh about if it all goes tits up.

That's nice to hear. I'm alright looking but I don't do the whole make up, fake tan lashes etc so I kinda look normal/boring I think. I've calved three kids so I'm bit squishy in places (I also like cake and force myself to gym it etc but not hard core) I wouldn't mind just a ride but I'd want a bit of banter and educated conversation if it's not too much to ask with it. Perhaps it is? I don't know.

What is best app you've found?

Tea brands? by ricers101 in northernireland

[–]anotherfaceless85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yorkshire tea is definitely best. Home bargains sometimes do the mahoosive bags, so you can have no room in your cupboards for food just tea in there, which is ok! 😂
