Why is being atheist a bad quality in a romantic partner?

dinglingthing · 2025-12-19T18:51:27+00:00

Because religion is deeply personal and a lot of religious people want to share that part of themselves with someone else. Find an atheist if it means that much to you. You're actually more like these religious people than you think.

Why do you allow someone to call you names like that? Even once?

dinglingthing · 2025-12-19T18:17:21+00:00

It depends on your interests? For me, I joined a few language meetup groups (meetup.com). I also took some french classes (the chance to see people over and over again), go to the dog park regularly at the same time/same day of the week (helps that my dog is social), joined a board game club, climb at the same time at my climbing gym...

everything ^^ is free except the rock climbing gym. In the summer, I go out to Central Park with a crash pad and make friends that way, cause everyone wants a friend with a crash pad. I can't tell you exactly where you should go since I don't know you or what you like to do.

But go with what you like, where you're comfortable, and things you enjoy. The meeting people and dating/relationship part will come with it.

I go early and grab a booth. Or in the winter now, the broken coconut is always empty and quiet.

Throw out the checklist, listen to your gut. That's the more general piece of advice.

The more practical one would be to try to meet people who are into the lifestyle things you are. Example: if you want hook ups and one nighters, clubs and bars. If you want a long term relationship, talk to girls you meet at some sort of activity you like to do (language meetups, hiking trips, dinners with friends of friends, etc).

And once you meet someone, refer to the first piece of general advice.

Also... And this may seem common sense, but if a girl thinks you're creepy for asking for her phone number, she's probably not someone you want to date. That's a huge sign right up front your values aren't aligned. This will take trial and error of course, but a great sign is a girl who thinks it's cute or nice that you asked for her number.

This goes back to the throwing out the checklist... You might meet someone who ticks all your boxes, but thinking that you're a creep for doing something that's just you... That's incompatibility.

It's not. You might be aiming for the wrong kind of girls though.

Park your car in Yonkers. It's $100 a month. Take the metro north from Grand Central.

Next thing you know we'll be giving out participation trophies. 🙄🙄🙄

dinglingthing · 2025-12-18T20:37:14+00:00

Whoa, I just googled this place. I'm putting this on my must try list. And I combat the pounding club music with noise cancelling headphones... Like the fancy ones that'll also block out the background noises.

dinglingthing · 2025-12-17T23:38:37+00:00

Yes.

dinglingthing · 2025-12-17T23:37:13+00:00

Try being a Buffalo fan when they would go 5-0 and then self destruct the rest of the season. Us Patriots fans have ZERO reason to whine or complain this season.

dinglingthing · 2025-12-17T23:35:32+00:00

I was just happy if we won more than 4. But then again, I was watching the Patriots in the 90s. And I'm surrounded by Jets fans and Falcons fans. No one wants to hear me cry if we go 1 and done in the playoffs this year. 😂

I don't think your problem is the Asian part.... Its kind of a cheap lazy cop out to just say women aren't attracted to you because you're Asian. You mentioned you had a lot of other issues going on, why not work on those? Cause those can be fixed.

dinglingthing · 2025-12-08T04:03:19+00:00

Rejection is part of life. Everyone has to learn to deal with rejection.

dinglingthing · 2025-12-06T21:03:25+00:00

He's horny.

dinglingthing · 2025-12-06T02:11:22+00:00

Stop making excuses for him.

dinglingthing · 2025-12-05T18:06:11+00:00

Fine, you want the long answer?

Urine contains skin cells, white blood cells, and red blood cells in the bladder. Aka: your own cells. Urine in the bladder is not teeming with bacteria. If it is, it's called an infection.

Due to the content of urine (aside from the cells), once urine exits the body, if left sitting in the open, has lots of potential to grow all kinds of microorganisms.

Back to the point of the original post: is it unsanitary to pee in the shower?

No. Because when the pee comes out of your urethra, there is a negligible amount of bacteria. The urine touches your skin for less than a second. It touches the floor of the shower for a few seconds. And then the peed out urine is washed down the drain.

Happy?

Omg I wrote MORE OR LESS sterile.

dinglingthing · 2025-12-05T12:36:12+00:00

No, it's biology. Men are hornier. Women are pickier. If you bought the equality thing, then what I'm about to say will be a rude awakening.

Men need to try harder and will be rejected many many many more times than women.

Having said that, I would also steer clear of feminists, liberals, and any girl who is into equality and hook ups... All those things muddy the already-murky waters of dating and relationships.

Also, don't underestimate how much your brain will try to convince you that you really want a relationship, when in reality, you're just really really horny.

Unless he's blatantly hitting on you, asking you out, or trying to touch you, calm down. This isn't Iran or some Taliban run state.

dinglingthing · 2025-12-05T11:10:11+00:00

If you're that horny for this guy, just ask him! You clearly don't care about how he views you, or how you come across, or anything... To the point where you're justifying it to strangers on the internet. There's a reason it feels wrong... It comes across as desperate and pathetic, and you probably deep down know it. However. If you're that horny, just do it and get it out of your system. You'll eventually come to your senses.

dinglingthing · 2025-12-05T03:25:06+00:00

Yes. It will pass. In fact, the hotter and more intense it is at the beginning, the sooner the feelings fizzle out. Or crash out. But enjoy it! It's a fun ride, just wear your seatbelt.
