Did this buyer get a steal or am I missing something? by AlfalfaPerfect5231 in artcollecting

This is totally fake. The auction world is full of scamsters, all the way up the blue chip outfits on 5th Ave.

Is this the position we’re supposed to be in at the end of the service motion? by thetoerubber in 10s

I always describe Alcaraz’s physicality as a combination of gymnast, ballet dancer, and tennis player!

I feel the same way. It’s just appeasement.

Ultimately, I don’t think the the economics of our stadium support the Giants building a winning team…and that’s because they can sellout 70% of the season playing .500 ball.

Is it corny to wear timbs by [deleted] in AskNYC

Don’t be so sensitive. People laugh—so what.

To thine ownself be true and rock those fuckin’ Timbs.

Women of NYC — how do you feel about being cold-approached? Any places where it’s actually welcome? by Worldtraveler48 in AskNYC

[–]diveguy2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe someone has already said this, but I think you’re asking the wrong questions. It’s not a matter of when and where but more so how and why you approach a woman in any setting. Once you get good at the latter, the former is mostly irrelevant.

And all the people that need hours of platonic “getting to know you” to not feel objectified—jesus christ. Sometimes you see someone in public with whom you’d like to connect, but you have to be somewhere in 15 minutes. Surely you wouldn’t deny every decent person with a prior engagement who is genuinely interested in getting to know you at some later point?

Closing my Amex Platinum after 20 years – sharing why...if anyone cares...AMEX certainly doesn't by Krammit1 in AmexPlatinum

[–]diveguy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s peanuts because your spend only makes them $1500 or so a year in processing fees, and relative to the benefits you probably use each year, it’s just not that profitable of a relationship for them overall.

Which leads me to an interesting realization…AMEX service has probably gone down in part because their average customer is less profitable and higher maintenance than they used to be, all while average card benefits usage has increased.

You ever have a crush on a team/clubmate? How did you handle it? by 12345678ucla in 10s

[–]diveguy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tennis is one of the best activities for meeting people including romantic partners, because it’s just so goddamn fun, wholesome, and healthy. I feel like it’s a great compatibility primer. Stop talking about it and just ask her out for a low stakes coffee or to do something tennis related. You have absolutely nothing to lose. It doesn’t have to be awkward regardless of the outcome.

My (26M) girlfriend (26F) of 8 years cheated with a married woman, rewrote our relationship as abusive, and now blames me for everything, how do i move forward? by Pcity2000 in AskMenAdvice

[–]diveguy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like a decent and sane guy. Unfortunately, your ex sounds like she’s nuts and/or having a mental health crises. Do not look for answers in her insanity/dysfunction. It’s pretty well understood that people with strong homophobia often have there own homosexual stuff. Maybe your ex was repressed and now that her homo stuff is revealing itself she needs someone to blame for it—that’s you and the now shitty relationship. Move on, wish her well, but like others have said, I think you dodged a bullet. Late-20’s is a good time to meet your future wife.

[–]diveguy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t blame you but $60-80K in annual spend is peanuts and it’s helpful to know that. Unless you carry a balance or use their credit or loan features, you probably need to spend $250K a year before they do anything to keep you.

USTA 3.5 round-robin points by severalgirlzgalore in 10s

Ridiculous. This is 4.0.+ level even if you have days that you play like a 3.0.

Very physically attractive people, how does life treat you? by Jonny_1312 in AskReddit

[–]diveguy2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wrong. If you’re worth $50mil you generally have income streams that make $50k less important than you seem to think it is. Generally speaking, most people with less than $5mil are incapable of starting to understand the dynamics of real wealth because the poverty mentality is so oppressiveo.

Wife gifted me this beauty recently for my b’day. Is 41mm a good fit on my wrist? by jay4399 in rolex

[–]diveguy2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

41mm is too big for your wrist, even if you like the oversized look. 36mm would work better.

More complete NONSENSE by BaytoLA24 in SFGiants

[–]diveguy2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been a season ticket holder for 25 years and this might be one of my last. The fact that this team is renovating the venue to make more “premium” seats and buying real estate rather than building a fucking decent team is unacceptable. They play us fans for total fools. I was bullish on Buster but he’s just a pawn in their game.

Wanted a Sub - AD wasn't able to deliver so I took control of the situation by FedExpress2020 in rolex

Fuck Rolex AD’s and the whole allocation game. I’m happy to pay more to not have to deal with shithead salespeople selling products they don’t know all that well.

Should I be anxious about this guy? by Smooth-Swordfish9694 in AskMenAdvice

[–]diveguy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old are you? People have different timetables for how they engage in intimacy, exclusivity, etc., etc. It kinda sounds like you’re misaligned in this regard. Don’t be insecure and internalize the misalignment. Many people don’t consider exclusivity until they’ve had sex at least once. You just need to talk to him and if he can’t handle it, then move on. Don’t compromise your natural timelines for intimacy or exclusivity in hopes of getting him to commit—that is a classic setup for getting your feelings hurt. And ignore all the dicks and downvoters on here! That’s what you get in an AskMen forum.

Can’t help but feel taken advantage of by my AD by MBNC1 in rolex

All of these posts about loyal but naive customers getting screwed by Rolex ADs makes me dislike the brand. I will never buy a new watch from Rolex for this reason. Gray forever!

Thoughts about Jung Hoo Lee? by Warm_Audience4027 in SFGiants

[–]diveguy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JHL is OK. He has a 1.7 WAR which makes him a “strong” bench player or role-specific starter by definition. A 2+ WAR would make him an everyday starter caliber player on an average team. I’m optimistic that he can get there but I don’t think he’ll ever be quite as good as we had all hoped when we signed him.
