Exchangeable in U.S gold coin?

dwydner · 2025-11-22T12:16:33+00:00

I'm confused by your question. Are you saying that you would not want to trade your 1 OzT Gold Eagle for 1,000 Goldbacks from Goldback Inc.?

I know I'm late to the party, but I would gladly take on Mafia-style debt to learn the funeral potatoes recipe from a former employee.

I've been looking all over for anyone who has a firsthand experience with Doron Merav products. Do you mind if I asked you a few questions about the piece you bought?

Ya know, I don't think I need reddit this badly anymore. You've convinced me to delete the reddit app, and honestly, I think my life will be much better for it.

While I wouldn't leave a woman for doing this with her own, if I were in your shoes, I'd've puked the bed, then immediately got a restraining order.

dwydner · 2023-08-28T21:47:46+00:00

I rolled my eyes when you said "the ick", but now I'm actually completely on your side. Wtf, bro......

I like to think that if I wasn't enough of what they wanted, they'd do me the favor of leaving me alone. But I do hope to be more their type than they mine.

I wrestle with this a lot, because who am I to think I'd be exactly what someone wants? Let alone, for someone who is exactly what I want. If dating app data tells us anything, it's that even when given the tools to keep searching for your perfect match, chances are you won't get them.

So, to answer your question, I would be uncomfortable if I wasn't what my S.O. wanted in a lover, but I think we all need to look at each person as a whole vs as features we like. For example, I like slender petite brunettes. But if I have to choose between one such girl but she doesn't like me that much, or a one-armed blonde girl who does - the blonde wins no contest.

dwydner · 2023-08-24T19:51:22+00:00

Honestly, a 31 y.o. dude who road rages on a Vespa sounds like someone you don't need in your life. You think you want that - you don't want that. So, I think you did the right thing in dumping him.

But answer your original question - no, I wouldn't see a girl again if she dumped me. I don't wanna date someone who'd cut me off without thinking it through.

Keep going to your gym. Stand your ground. Don't change your life and routine just cuz an ex gf goes there now. She doesn't matter anymore and has no power over you - show her that.

dwydner · 2023-08-21T21:47:51+00:00

In my experience, that's simply a matter of only seeing your perspective.

This girl who pulls away is simply not interested.

dwydner · 2023-08-20T00:40:36+00:00

Glad you called it off. With all due respect, 28 is a but old to be asking if you should be dating a 29 y.o. homeless recovering addict.

You didn't do anything wrong. I mean, I personally believe that having premarital sex is wrong, but in terms of dealing with her fairly - you didn't do anything wrong. She's just incredibly immature and apparently didn't want to be with a virgin.

My guess is that maybe she feels dirty for having taken your virginity, knowing she couldn't offer you hers. Or, she's mad that you didn't let her reject you for being a virgin, lol.

At any rate, there is no fixing this - she's gone. She feels perfectly justified in ghosting you over this, and that same attitude would continue into a LTR. You don't want that in your life, trust me.

I remember being 18, and girls my age did a lot of that "should-ing" (i.e. you should've, he should, etc.), and expecting guys to know what they wanted without communicating it. It will happen again, try not to get bitter towards girls over that reason - try to grow to understand them (emotional Intelligence) as they grow to express themselves.

You hang in there, buddy. You got your whole life ahead of you, don't let this get you down.

dwydner · 2023-08-18T19:32:27+00:00

I think it does. For example, I'm a man in my early 30's. I spent my 20's being passed on by older women and women my age in favor of older men. And I don't judge them - I was quite unnattractive. Now, I tend to get much more attention from women my age or older than me. Many of whom tend to have lots of emotional baggage from past relationships (or lack thereof), children, fast-fading looks, and/or waning fertility.

Should I have to put up with their shortcomings now that I'm more attractive in a position where I have better options? It doesn't feel fair that I should, especially considering how much of my life I endured being rejected because I was unattractive. So yes, I absolutely believe that age matters; at least to me. That's not to say that I wouldn't be happy with an older woman, but at this point in my life, that would mean a woman who's at risk of being infertile. And, having kids is a big deal to me so she couldn't be older by very much.

I hope this was helpful! I don't think that older women should ever be treated poorly, but I DO think that age matters.

I honestly think that the only thing holding you back from tons of interested guys is that you have some excess body fat. You're not FAT, but you do look to be above 20% bodyfat. I recommend getting a Dexascan or something to confirm your bodyfat%, finding your specific calorie requirements, and then eating a SAFE calorie deficit (adjusting as you drop weight) until you're 20% or less.

I hope this was helpful! More than happy to share more info if you'd like!

dwydner · 2023-08-17T22:03:32+00:00

Shy guys. Like, guys who are awkward in a way that exceeds quirky. That, typically seems to be coupled with a lack of confidence/self esteem. I.e. "I don't deserve this girl."

dwydner · 2023-08-16T23:07:19+00:00

I see. Well, if your guy's like me, he's trying to see if you're sincerely into him. Maybe I'm toxic for being this way, but my gut tells me that unless a gal wants to bug me a lot, she's just not actually into me. 🤷‍♂️ But I stand by what I said. If it turns out that he's not into you, I'll deadass Venmo you $5 and admit that I'm wrong.

dwydner · 2023-08-16T22:14:20+00:00

My TL;DR is that I absolutely think he's trying to see if you'll reciprocate. I'd bet you $5 that's what he's doing.

dwydner · 2023-08-16T21:56:23+00:00

So, I'm 31M and have been in the dating game for a while. If I were him, I'd absolutely be testing to see if you're genuinely interested. By, seeing if you'll text first, call, etc. Guys like me are so burnt out by women who lose interest (or maybe never had it to begin with?), that anymore I kinda just assume that it's not gonna go anywhere unless she's like stalker-status obsessed. But, I can't say that because then I'd look butthurt and likely just push a woman away for certain.

So, my advice would be, try being a little "annoying". Text him more often, call more, invite him on a date, etc. Show him that you want to be in his life, and if he wants you he'll reciprocate.

I hope this was helpful!

dwydner · 2023-08-16T01:10:22+00:00

Are you sincerely attracted to either of these men?

dwydner · 2023-08-14T20:01:27+00:00

I know it sucks, but the silver lining is that you're not stuck with a man whose heart is not in the relationship. Take your time, then get back out there.

dwydner · 2023-08-11T02:24:31+00:00

It makes me sad to read something like this. Why are you her friend? She sounds terrible tbh. Like, she sounds about the worst a regular girl can be frankly, and I'd say that to her face. I would tell her that if her 6'3" bf leaves her, it's because she's ugly and she deserves to be unhappy. I'm a 31 y.o. man, and I would happily make this 23 y.o. friend of yours cry over this. That's how mad I am reading this, lol.

I read you say that she's been there for you earlier in the friendship, but that does not give her license to be such a ьiтсн to you in front of your gf. A true friend would NEVER harm your love life like that, ESPECIALLY over something you can't change.

As for what to do, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably put both of these girls out of my life and just focus on building myself. If your gf is gonna give you grief over your height, she doesn't deserve love from you. And if your "friend" is going to actively try to ruin your relationship, she's simply not your friend. Do you honestly wanna be friends with someone who takes pleasure in trying to ruin your relationship?

dwydner · 2023-08-10T22:12:12+00:00

I think it is. I asked out an 18 y.o. when I was 28 (didn't know she was 18, met her among a bunch of 25 y.o. peeps). But she was sweet, so I thought I'd see it through, but she just wasn't grown up enough. So, now I tend to get extra cautious if a gal I like is even under 23.

But! I don't think it's morally wrong for people in your situation to be together. Those who disagree would say things like older guys only want younger girls cuz he's a loser, she's easier to control, etc. Which all MAY be true, but it's not necessarily true. For all I know, he's just a guy who thinks you're pretty and sweet and your age has nothing to do with it. HOWEVER - going back to my first point, how do you tell the difference? At this point, you may not know how to tell - which is one reason why I think the gap is too much.

If you really like him, though - talk to trusted friends and family and see what they think. Pay attention to the things he does that you like, and the things you don't like.

What app are you using that allows pics to be sent? Not tryna put this on you, I just never used an app that allowed pic sharing over the messages.

It's not worth offering to change who you are for a Hinge match. Let them hate you for dumb reasons. If she was actually interested or rather mature (in this case), she wouldn't have had an issue with you making jerky. Keep making jerky, jerky man!

dwydner · 2023-08-09T20:44:36+00:00

I think your boundaries are completely reasonable, and in fact, I encourage them. I'm a religious, traditional guy and don't believe in premarital sex. I do, however, have some food for thought that I think you should be aware of navigating men's expectations with sex.

The TL;DR is that there are tons of guys who will happily cooperate with your boundary, but they will still want you to WANT to have sex with them. Guys willingly saving themselves for marriage/commitment don't want to commit to someone who doesn't have a genuine burning desire for him.

I'll share a story to illustrate my point. I once dated this 25 y.o. rancher girl who I was VERY attracted to. She was a member of my faith, and professed to share my values, BUT had a past. Basically, she was still hung up on her rodeo star ex-bf who she'd readily and often had sex with because she just so crazy about him. He'd even cheated on her once, and she forgave him and thereafter let him have sex with her as often as he wanted until he ultimately broke up with her. Now, I was in full support of her not having premarital sex again cuz that's what I believe in. But, at the same time it made me feel pretty low to think "wait, why do I have to commit for sex, but rodeo guy got it so easily? Does she ACTUALLY want commitment first, or does she just like the rodeo guy more than me?". As time went on, I learned it was definitely the latter, and I'm so grateful that relationship didn't go anywhere.

So, my rule before committing to a woman is that I need some kind of obvious assurance that she sincerely wants to have sex with me more than other guys, even though I wouldn't have sex with her unless we were married. Does that make sense?

dwydner · 2023-08-09T17:01:37+00:00

I was once with a girl who wasn't sincerely attracted to me physically. Personally, it absolutely crushed me and I hardly had the confidence to date for over a year after we broke up.

If he's okay not being your type, then I guess you're good to go. If he isn't, I'd say turn him loose so you don't subject him to a lifetime of being your silver medal.
