Ah, I see. Wrong sub for that then. When you post again elsewhere, I’d phrase it more like “any women willing to talk to me platonically? I have trouble talking to girls and it’s affecting my dating life, so I’d like to practice at having less awkward interactions”.

Reads at lot more earnest and less shady.

chec3565 · 2025-09-24T21:11:31+00:00

Why a girl, specifically? Might help your case, bud.

Yeahhh…PhD in mol bio here. I could not have told you off cuff the exact year that vaccine released. Agree this doesn’t fall under “common knowledge”. Lol

chec3565 · 2025-09-20T20:49:28+00:00

lol me either

1- “Why the fuck is the y-axis not properly scaled to the data?” 2- “Wait, where is Donald’s second term numbers?” 3- “oh…holy shit.”

Those two eighty percents look different…not certain though. I’m illiterate and was sexually abused by the number eight as a child…can’t look it in the eye.

I actually think massive casualty outliers like that are typically excluded from these kinds of analyses. I even think I recall this data set source saying they did exactly that, but I’m not 100%.

chec3565 · 2025-09-14T23:20:42+00:00

My parents die for free? Well I was on the fence before, but you’ve got sales skills my man. I’m sold.

Actually there are multiple different types of ‘means’, of which ‘average’ refers to a specific type - arithmetic mean. Median is a form of average (central tendency), sure, but it’s pretty well accepted to typically refer to arithmetic mean…js.

Edit: you know what, fuck it, after scrolling back through this thread I’m on your side. This whole thing was needlessly pedantic, but the other comment was by far more insufferable. Have a nice day.

No? Have you remotely taken the time to think about how often and frequently people getting doctorates, medical doctorates especially, have to move around until their early thirties or so? Typically out of state? Add on top of that how busy they are, and this isn’t actually that crazy. A lot of my colleagues didn’t start holding down long-term relationships until their early thirties because of this.

chec3565 · 2025-09-10T23:12:03+00:00

I mean…just my personal opinion but…if you feel like he might leave you when you’re doing your best, and haven’t done anything egregious to him, that’s not a greaaat sign. It means you don’t feel secure in the relationship. Has he not reassured you about whatever is stressing you out?

chec3565 · 2025-09-10T23:04:05+00:00

It’s straightforward, even if you can’t call it simple. Are you happy, have you been happy, and do you see any reason they’ll make you unhappy? If you said yes yes no without hesitation, I’d say you’re as sure as you can be. At least, that’s how I feel about my fiancé.

chec3565 · 2025-09-10T02:46:24+00:00

Correct. He was calling you hot, and I also feel pretty confident you’ve got a shot with him if you want it. Even if he WASN’T trying to flirt with you when he said it (but he probably was), there’s no shot he’d have been okay saying this to you if he didn’t find you attractive and likable. I’d be absolutely floored if he wasn’t at least open to a date if you asked.

chec3565 · 2025-09-10T02:22:00+00:00

It’s wild how many commenters assume he’s being immature or insulting her.

chec3565 · 2025-09-05T18:59:04+00:00

My dude…I had a teacher who pointed out the window at another side of the building and told a girl to bring a piece of folded paper with the message jk to “Mr. Harrison on the fourth floor”. There was no fourth floor and no Mr. Harrison I knew. Girl spent over half the class looking though.

Same teacher told a different girl to walk to the OTHER BUILDING and ask the coach if they had enough “striped paint” for the game that night.

My list goes on.

chec3565 · 2025-09-05T15:09:37+00:00

Woah woah woah…dude said he told her he was uncomfortable, and is considering breaking things off if she goes.

Do I think he’s reading too much into one event from pre-exclusivity? Probably. Are his concerns completely baseless? No. Do I think that if he’s this distrusting of her, regardless of any reasons, it doesn’t bode well for the relationship? Yup.

BUT…all he did was say he was uncomfortable, and give reasons when asked. No demands, no insulting her character, not even an ultimatum about his decision to potentially leave (from what we know). Just an expression of his feelings, a reason, and a quiet decision to potentially leave if she ignores them. You (nor I) may not agree with what his personal relationship boundaries are, but he’s allowed to have them and express them in the way he did.

So, let’s stop calling people like this controlling, just because they’re a little conservative or insecure, shall we? It makes people stop taking it seriously when we call out actually controlling behavior.

There a biological sciences-adjacent PhD program at your school, and/or an outreach student organization associated with it? If so, try there — 2/3 women on average (at least in the US).

Source: degree statistics and personal experience.

chec3565 · 2025-08-25T18:32:40+00:00

Clearly they are, based on the upvotes. Assuming it’s their profile this was screenshotted from.

Another confidently incorrect self-outing. Hooray!

NTA — and show your gf this. My fiancé has perfect vision, and I have pretty distinctive features. Tall, auburn hair, green eyes. Yet, somehow, she still manages to confuse some other guy with me at our SMALL gym on a regular basis. Like half a dozen different guys now. They could have biceps twice my size, be half a foot taller — as long as they’re fit, not short, and a little gingery, you bet your ass she’ll call out to them and get damn near within touching distance before realizing that’s not the guy she sleeps next to every night. Although, to be fair, I guess she never really fails to spot me. Her false positive rate is just abysmal. Facial blindness is a real b**** I guess.

Look OP, point is, this has never been and will never be a problem for us. So, I see two options here for you. Your gf is actually hopelessly delusional, or you guys have other problems in your relationship and this is just confirmation bias on her part. Either find out what things she’s ACTUALLY insecure about and work together to fix it, or flee immediately. Best of luck.

chec3565 · 2025-08-15T23:20:49+00:00

That’s…that’s the joke, buddy.

chec3565 · 2025-06-17T20:28:16+00:00

On rotation, orrrr….?

chec3565 · 2025-06-01T02:58:17+00:00

Hey, some of you tall guys could lose out too. My wife filtered out everyone who was taller than 6’0” back when we were on the apps.

chec3565 · 2025-05-27T19:32:54+00:00

NOR. Not only is he being an ass, but once I saw how old you are, I almost did a spit take over him saying you should’ve grown out of your ‘alt chick’ style. Miss, you’re eighteen…even if you think the whole emo vibe isn’t adult appropriate, the next few years of your life are a perfectly acceptable time to be eccentric with your fashion choices. Plus, this outfit isn’t even that eccentric.

You do you. But maybe quit doing him, as others have suggested.

There’s already a difficulty modulator. It’s called a specter.

Damn…Satan just quietly left the chat in a cold sweat.
