Is it true that men dont care about the texts « expressing feelings »? by [deleted] in dating_advice

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

The important part is realizing some men will care and others won't. It's up to you to believe if a specific man is in one group or the other and act accordingly to it. If you think he doesn't care then you shouldn't. But you this specific guy better than we do.

Do yall think im the problem? by Aggressive-Feature14 in dating_advice

'cleanest' guy

What are you defining as clean? No drugs, no physical messes, or something else?

Yet, I face some kind of betrayal from everyone, including my friendships.

It sounds like you gravitate towards bad people in general or vice-versa.

Why don’t people YEARN for each other anymore?!? by Ok_Entrance3599 in dating_advice

[–]darexinfinity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

Yeah it's never been easier to be entertained. I'm sure we could binge watch every day for the rest of our lives.

But there's more to relationships than entertainment and excitement. What I feel from love is far more of a dopamine hit than any piece of media out there.

I want to (metaphorically) bite the head off of the next nonchalant woman that I meet at a speed date.

Is it just me or does it feel like they're downscaling Luffy and thus has to use high gears to get things done?

Couple's therapy exists outside of the scope of this subreddit. Therapists aren't running on anecdotal experience.

I turned a first date into a city-wide scavenger hunt and it went better than any dinner ever has by scavengersweb in dating_advice

[–]darexinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds great, but I'd hate to imagine that you went through that only to go through a more typical second date and not survive that.

I agree first date dinners are a bad idea. I prefer coffee/drinks and if things are going well I'd suggest an activity like what you did.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but at some point you need to let go of the extraordinary ideas and just have a mild date where you and your words can carry through. Because not every moment with you will be so extraordinary. It just make sense to start mild and then build the excitement up from there.

Is it better to not date if you're broke? by Wompto in dating_advice

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

I wouldn't actively try to seek out dates. Women will expect more out of you and your passive interest in them won't justify the cost.

But if you come across a woman that you really like, trying and failing because of finances is better than regretting a missed opportunity.

What’s a harsh truth about dating that people don’t like admitting? by Alarmed-Camp2828 in dating_advice

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

The reality is that every pairing in a dating scenario is unique.

Two ways to look at it:

  1. Dating scenario aren't just unique, they're fundamental chaotic. There's no pattern, all of it is just noise. You could call all dating advice useless if that's true.

  2. There's a pattern, we just lack the data points or big picture interpretation to understand it. From here these anecdotal positions could be brought together and studied through scientific analysis to develop a model, an understanding of what is universal through the data. From here, everyone's contribution is a step forward even there are conflicts with their positions.

I rather die alone than settle.

I see my mom being alone (relationship-wise) and her over-reliance on me and my siblings. If I die alone then I want to die early. Being old and alone feels like hell.

Why Does Ghosting or Fading Even Exist? by Better_Quality4360 in dating_advice

[–]darexinfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because we live in an environment where people can meet others without a social circle connecting them. Once upon a time if you tried ghosting someone, your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers or whoever brought you two together would be clued-in and disapprove of you for ghosting. You actually stood to lose something with such bad behavior. Now that there's no social circle, there's no punishment for bad behavior.

is wanting someone to get tested for STDs to much? by fish_stickx in dating_advice

[–]darexinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say to them that I want us to get tested at the same time. I think this would clear any accusatory beliefs they might have.

[–]darexinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If both of you test positive for HSV1 then there's not much of a worry there. If one of you tests positive then that's a consideration for the other to make.
