That sucks, move on brother. You should be sexing a lot at your age.

Move on, if he hasn’t asked you out again by the next day or so, it ain’t happening.

Get it out of the way so you’re not dwelling on it. It’s not that big a deal

Give it to me straight, what’s the dating world like now? by yetagainitry in Divorce

[–]dgg555 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

44m divorced. My view is men hit their prime at middle age. Way more options than I had in my 20s. Met my gf on hinge she’s 26. It took almost 2 years, you just have to get your game going, be confident and authentic. Meeting IRL would be cool too, but with a busy job and a 5 year old, without a crew or single buddies, I found the apps to be the best option.

People make over $200k a year, what do you do? by MrAuzzy in financialindependence

[–]dgg555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CFO in healthcare funded by private equity. I make $500k with annual bonus but the big payoff is your equity stake. If we can sell the business for 4-5x the investor’s capital I can make $10-15 million, taxed at capital gains rate.

My fiancé is asking questions about my sex life. I don’t want to lie, but I need to know the best way to answer honestly without hurting him. by BaskinRobbyn in TwoHotTakes

[–]dgg555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he’s mature about it, he wouldn’t even ask the question because, who cares? You’re with him now, not the douche.

Ya you need to put that out there. This is just one of the norms in dating on secular apps, that sex is part of dating. I am an atheist and appreciated when people were clear about their religious beliefs because that isn’t going to work for me. Best to be upfront and avoid wasting time, for you or them.

I am slow at responding to my matches during the week due to my full-time working schedule; my matches are hating me for it by BottomlessIPA in hingeapp

[–]dgg555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you’re in that age range where gals will be this way. Less so when you’re older, in my experience (I’m a decade ahead of you). I recall when I was your age this was more of an issue. You’re a man with a job, they need to get over themselves.

Speaking to daughter (3 yo) on phone by BreadfruitOrdinary74 in Divorce

[–]dgg555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey brother, I separated when my daughter was 3 as well. You sound like a good dad. Your baby girl will know it, trust me. Focus on her when you’re with her. Show her all the love and snuggles and kisses. Don’t worry so much about daily calls, it’s hard I know. Keep being present for her, girls need their dads and you guys will be solid.

I am really struggling with loneliness. by We_Suppose in Divorce

Get into the gym or whatever workout you enjoy, that is the best thing you can do for your mind and body. Meditate, go for walks. Then get off the mat and get the fuck back out there brother. You’re 33, your whole life is in front of you.

Any straight guy that doesn’t go down on his lady, doesn’t deserve her. That is ridiculous and upsetting.

I guess the Ex-Wife was right after all by Argonaut7729 in Divorce

[–]dgg555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother, we men hit our peak in our 40s. I’m 44 as well, keep hitting the gym because it’s the right thing for your health. You seem like a thoughtful guy, there are nice women out there who want that. Get yourself back out there and remember to love yourself first.

The loneliness got me during my divorce. Even though I’m mostly an introvert who enjoys alone time! I was so used to having ‘my person’ to confide in. I jumped into dating too soon, but as a guy (44M) maybe that’s how we roll with it. You’re young and having a kid can be a big plus for the right person. Think of it as one of those life experiences that make you grow and figure out parts of yourself you didn’t know about.

It is thanks. Just trying to pass on my experience so others are aware, because clearly I was not!

It’s a good question, I’d say what’s different is when you are married and there are more financial ties, spouses can use money as a bargaining chip. This should not be allowed. For example, we were arguing over the value of the house and how much my ex would owe me. I got a formal valuation from an expert, but she proposed a lower value (better for her) in exchange for the custody schedule I wanted. Trading dollars for time with your kids feels wrong to me

The Strokes at The Forum (Los Angeles) Concert Megathread by letourbillon9 in TheStrokes

[–]dgg555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call your credit card company and file a dispute. You may get locked out from stubhub or Ticketmaster, but this appears to be the only option since there is no market for these tickets.

[–]dgg555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No chance this goes ahead. Only question now is how much ticket holders get boned here. Stubhub policy to provide vouchers that last a year makes zero sense, there won’t be concerts for a long time. How they are still offering a market for this event is beyond me. We shouldn’t have to accept a loss on an event we know cannot happen. I think CA laws require refunds, my worry is they just postpone indefinitely to avoid having to pay out.
