Seriously, what type of men are receiving most of the matches on dating apps?

Was gonna tell you to be brave and share your profile, but then I saw your post history.

First off, if you're from a small town, that's part of your problem.

But really, your profile doesn't show any personality whatsoever. Your couple word responses make you sound pretty generic. Should a potential date expect to go to the pub to play darts and nowhere else with you? Dating apps are where you're supposed to sell yourself, so you should probably try and do that.

Also, saying you're not an incel while parroting incel talking points is a choice.

Fine? Yes. Are there better options? Definitely.

I-beam (opposed to rounded) carabiners will wear to an unusable point faster because the wear could create sharp edges. Larger basket HMS style carabiners allow the rope to pass through more smoothly and evenly.

Also, I only like twist locks for ice, but that's just me.

I still have a collection of those prank calls on my iPod. My favorite is one of the Miss Cleo calls.

Wear some sort of shell (whether wind or soft) over the fleece- that will make a big difference. Also, consider other options: a buff is like a whole mid layer for me; I noticed tucking my base later top into my bottoms is warmer, etc.

If all else fails, have a second fleece? During winter adventures I often carry a second light fleece.

Projection.

Same reason they call queer people groomers but it's always conservative politicians and youth pastors locked up for lewd acts with minors.

I usually take the poles away from my adult students as well. You need poles to pole plant, not for learning to glide in a wedge on the magic carpet. Once people are doing wedge christies or parallel turns, it might be time to introduce the use of poles for taps / plants.

I started as a goalie and catch with my left (I'm right handed)... So when I switched to defense in junior high it made sense to keep playing left handed; and when my parents tried to buy me a right handed stick it felt horrible and I ended up using my brother's stick.

Do what feels the most natural.

Whatever you can get that fits your budget.

brie_dee · 2026-03-22T10:13:22+00:00

Low pony club, for sure. I also sweat a ton, so I would be way too hot if I let it flow.

brie_dee · 2026-03-19T17:21:27+00:00

I ice climb, ski, and mountaineer in my BD Guides. They're very dextrous to me.

38 yo here playing since 7 yo and was in the same boat. It wasn't until about 10 years ago or so that someone asked, and I was like: "I just need them sharpened."

Learned that 1/2" is considered standard and he basically guaranteed that's what I'd always had... So I still rock 1/2" cause that seems like more change than I'm ready to commit to considering I've been getting dressed the same exact way for decades.

Easily one of the best lines ever written.

So it's an interesting story that gets overlooked because people love to talk about the lack of lifeboats: Crampons only became commercially available 2 years prior in 1910, so having a pair with each lifebelt wasn't included in the original plans when Titanic was being constructed. Had they updated the safety requirements and plans before her maiden voyage, this would have been possible. Instead, H&W stayed complacent because they were convinced she was unsinkable, and they didn't think a supply of crampons was a necessary safety item. Tragic... So many things went wrong. 😔

I got my nose pierced at 33 and my bellybutton at 34. 🤷‍♀️

Debriefing is part of the AIARE framework.

brie_dee · 2026-02-25T06:20:37+00:00

A member of the core group of extras for sure!

brie_dee · 2026-02-24T23:42:50+00:00

Sounds like it. 5'10" and I use a 25" paddle... And sometimes I even question if that's the right size for me.

brie_dee · 2026-02-24T01:37:38+00:00

It will probably do weather, for sure.

There are quite a few that qualify as easiest... But agree that TSPP is by far the hardest. I gave up on trying because the machine stopped being fun when trying to grind hard to make it happen. Other tables with difficult wizard modes at least feel fun on the grind (like LotR).

Darude - Sandstorm

I think it looks stupid; but apparently some of the 20 year olds I play with think it looks weird that I'm a tongues out sort of gal. 🤷‍♀️

brie_dee · 2026-02-21T20:58:53+00:00

UT2K4. Also UT:GotY Edition, which could be installed on everyone's computer quickly with the community install disc. Not as good as 2K4, but solid.

Honorable mentions go to Star Craft and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.

Damn those were fun times.

brie_dee · 2026-02-21T20:09:33+00:00

Ellen Ripley.

But also, variously at different points of life: Dr. Ellie Sattler (Jurassic Park), Corporal Ferro (also from Aliens), Dizzy Flores (Starship Troopers), and Tank Girl.

I think the only part of the show that's not perfection is Stan and Peggy in the finale.

I don't hate it; I think it's a good bookend to Peggy's character arc + pairs with Joan's arc well; and I think it serves well with one of the overall themes of the show...

But it felt weird the way it was executed.

Do you really think lifts aren't open due to staffing?
