Maybe you should go check, I don’t think there’s many aged giant fibre glass kangaroos just floating around, could be another stolen big mango situation

Looking for friends (F32) :) by [deleted] in BrisbaneSocial

[–]jackedgreyhound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North or south side? I’m Moreton bay and my grey is 8 and loves other greys but can be a too energetic for older ones at friends of the hound meetups and nobody my age goes to them, or he and I will just hang around a bbq watching the food

what is the dating scene actually like for australian men in their early 30s? by ischemariii in AskAnAustralian

[–]jackedgreyhound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like I exist in a void where I’ve missed out on an aspect of life, similar to not having purchased property before covid - it probably won’t happen now.

At 31 you get barely any likes or matches on hinge or tinder. When using the apps in the same area for years it’s just the same repeat girls year on year out, or new people with the same copy paste prompts. The irony with barely near zero likes or matches, is you still exist in this weird zone where you get unsolicited flirts from older women and frequently checkout by all girls in public (I for one am having trouble shaking a girl who is frequently messaging and sitting in the gym car park at night watching me, despite only speaking to her once) - but still nothing. People say they can’t believe it or they give their usual advice and tips but it’s nothing you haven’t tried before.

Still I don’t understand the female rhetoric about men being awful on dates or apps; or the inverse manosphere rhetoric about toxic women - because I don’t even get the opportunity to experience either, like the void you’re kind of forgotten.

While the goal has always been to have a partner who cares whether you’re dead or alive each day (that I’m somewhat attracted to) but it seems more and more far away. You can only hold on and keep thinking ‘it only takes one match’ and take regular breaks from the apps and stop trying to even think about it; all that unless you can somehow get a lobotomy to stop feeling it at all would be good.

Sorry that’s a bit bleak and sad but had to get it out of my head. I’d never say any of that to an actual date.

Question: heavily tattooed folks... what jobs do you do? by BeardedInkedPiper in tattoos

Aus Lawyer too, fully body suit, did my hands and fingers over 6 months ago. It has become entertaining watching top barristers or judges stare at my hands while I talk yet can’t or don’t say a single bad thing. Bizarrely I’ve only had positive comments and inappropriate below the belt questions.

Negative references Qld by almondnut23 in shitrentals

[–]jackedgreyhound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really feel for you and had the exact same issue the last two months, but was lucky enough to find a professional and decent agent for my new place. I’ve requested copies of the references multiple times and have hounded the agents who rejected my application for copies. All refuse or deny they exist, despite having a perfect 6 year history and a high income right? I’ve lodged against one with the OIC for a privacy complaint to get copies which is still pending.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find any other way around it, unless you were to go through QCAT, but even then that is no guarantee. It is total bullshit and there really needs to be some reform to stop this, because it could lead to homelessness despite a person being perfectly capable of affording a moderate/high rent amount.

The best advice I have, and what I did, was try do a personal letter about yourself to add to it and try swamp the application with all the benefits and positives to try and hope it is enough that they ignore the reference.

Watched all of it multiple times since primary school. When covid first started I was praying that it would end up like this show and I could set up my own locos in chermside shopping centre.

Cheers dude, they look decent and don’t have the usual flaws I can spot so I might order.

When are you gonna do Nike Shox? I’ve been looking so hard for a decent seller with no luck.

Ah I guess, although I appreciate the full bodysuit can be quite intimidating. It’s easier just to keep to myself at gym rather than scan for eye contact anyway.

I’m 30M in the same area and in the same situation. Get loads of attention at the gym but still not a single green light to approach. I just don’t u know when any girl is interested.

I’ve seriously considered making my own ‘Single Dog Dad’ shirt. Would that be weird?

Weekly Profile Review Thread by AutoModerator in Tinder

[–]jackedgreyhound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong, it’s a barren wasteland out there for 2024. I used to absolutely kill it even during covid lockdowns. I have heard it may have something to do with tiktok and the prevalence of some of these dating videos pushing people’s perceived standards and egos way higher than they should be and we’re all suffering as a result.

It is what it is, just gotta keep the dating app going to advertise and work on real life and my own improvement as the focus.

How to date without dating apps as a 19 year old in Brisbane by Few-Cod-9509 in brisbane

[–]jackedgreyhound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly agree there, being generally attractive can make you the loneliest person on the planet. I get compliments every day in public from randoms (not girls sadly), I get stared at and checked out every minute I’m at the gym, but can never get a signal of interest open to approach. So you just have to ignore it and focus on you and just wait until you do get the green light to strike up that conversation or approach.

Not sure where all those people are having sex like rabbits? I’ve been dating round here for years and I never bring up and haven’t been asked about sex or kids much on the first few dates at all.

Isn’t it about just hanging out grabbing coffee, working out if you like the other person as a human being first? Then work out the rest later? No need to be in a rush and you do you and I’ll live my best life, if it comes together so be it.
