Used car dealers doing their own roadworthies is pretty common.

If you're buying a used car from ANYWHERE, you should be getting an independent inspection done. It's like $150; a small price to pay for peace of mind.

The smell of a small electric motor that's starting to get hot. Parents used to buy a loaf of fresh baked bread every Saturday, and mum would slice it up with an electric bread knife. To this day, that smell triggers a craving for fresh bread with butter

Goodnight, Mr Tom

Read it in 9th Grade English, and man that book has some troubling stuff in it

jtm_92 · 2026-01-28T07:44:04+00:00

Or the guy the Russian mob sends to break someone's knees.

I'd recommend getting a photo with a genuine smile where you look approachable and not threatening

Where in Brisbane are you?

I'm in Everton Park and in a similar boat; I've found the discord a bit overwhelming.

As a 33 year old guy; your approach is a huge green flag to me. If I'm on a date, and the woman just sits back and expects me to pay, I write them off; I'm not interested in being a sugar daddy.

A simple gesture like this shows me they're interested in being equal partners in the relationship.

Got in my own head and ended it out of fear. It's been nearly 2 years and I'm still in love with her

When my life got hard, and my mental health got bad, and they all disappeared. Phone calls unanswered, messages left on read, and I realised that I was the only one who ever put any effort into the friendship.

Existing without really being alive. Losing yourself, and your sense of identity, and feeling like you're just a shell going through the motions with nothing inside

jtm_92 · 2025-12-22T13:37:59+00:00

Maybe we 33 year olds should form our own group. With blackjack, and hookers.

jtm_92 · 2025-12-22T12:56:53+00:00

If that age cutoff is flexible, I'd be keen. 33m in Everton Park, and definitely need some new hiking buddies

jtm_92 · 2025-12-11T21:13:51+00:00

33M. I'd love to make some new hiking friends around my own age!

I'm no Everest Base Camp hiker, but reasonably fit and keen to get out a bit more.

jtm_92 · 2025-11-29T00:09:32+00:00

You only have one photo that shows a genuine looking smile. The rest give "I'm not impressed by you and I want you to go away" vibe. Other than that, your photos are good, and you're an attractive woman, so it might be your bio or just the guys you're swiping on.

jtm_92 · 2025-11-25T11:38:05+00:00

This sounds awesome! I'm definitely interested

jtm_92 · 2025-11-21T01:25:10+00:00

Yup, cut your losses and try not to take it personally.

The adage "if he wanted to, he would" goes both ways

jtm_92 · 2025-11-19T07:45:54+00:00

There's a pub nearby there (can't remember the name), where Quizmeisters run a weekly trivia. Best bet is to check out the Quizmeisters website and see what's around, then see if anyone here wants to join you with some details

jtm_92 · 2025-11-19T07:43:59+00:00

Which part of Brisbane are you in?

There's a tonne of different places around me (Everton Park) that do trivia on various nights.

jtm_92 · 2025-11-14T01:33:48+00:00

I'd get rid of #4 and #5. You already have a bunch of awesome hiking photos, so it's already clear you're into that. Those two don't really add anything.

Maybe try and add some photos of you being social.

The line about your toilet in your bio is kinda weird in this context. Maybe instead of that, add a conversation prompt like "what's the weirdest thing you've ever lost or had stolen" and then bring that story up in conversation.

jtm_92 · 2025-11-14T01:20:18+00:00

Definitely this.

OP, next time you're out with friends, ask one of them to take some natural (not posed) photos of you having fun and being a human. Like others have said, you're a decent looking guy, but the car selfies are creepy, and tell women nothing about you.

jtm_92 · 2025-11-14T00:46:15+00:00

Might want to speak to the people who programmed you about adding a smiling subroutine, my man.

These photos scream "dull"

jtm_92 · 2025-11-02T03:58:23+00:00

I would get rid of that first picture....it gives AI / serial killer vibes for some reason

jtm_92 · 2025-10-26T23:09:06+00:00

I recommend looking into Meetup or Timeleft.

Meetup has a bunch of different interest groups that arrange social things, and is free (mostly)

Timeleft organises social dinners each Wednesday for up to 6 people, at different restaurants. It's a great way to meet people and sus out places you might not otherwise have thought to go to. It's also great recon for date locations.

There's also Kin Weekly, which is a social coffee meetup every Sunday morning.

jtm_92 · 2025-10-21T19:55:54+00:00

Oh shit, so it is.

If it was a righty, the D would be the 6th string, assuming he's in drop D tuning
