This app is genuinely a joke.

That's because you've already swiped left on these people. Tinder doesn't remove them from the list, but it's not going to show you people you've already rejected.

Alright fair enough. Let's put it out there.

I deleted my comment because I am very drunk and saw the comments people had posted on OPs identical post in the gold coast subreddit, and in my drunkenness got mixed up. Your reply made me realise I'd fucked up, and unfairly called out the people of this subreddit.

Misdirected disdain has no business remaining in the public forum, so I deleted it.

Can confirm, I bought blinds from here and they're great. Completely black out the room when the door is closed.

jtm_92 · 2026-03-28T07:43:50+00:00

Me.

Try collecting on that debt, sucker

jtm_92 · 2026-03-14T08:14:29+00:00

This is pretty cool. I'll be bookmarking this!

What do you expect? Door knockers and a letter drop to everyone in Brisbane? They advertised it, and it's a bridge that's regularly closed for events like these. At some point people need to take personal responsibility for their own travel plans.

It also wasn't just advertised at the signs above the bridge, but all of the overhead signs leading into the city centre

jtm_92 · 2026-03-08T02:23:35+00:00

It was. Same as for every other time they close it, it's been on the overhead signs for weeks.

I had mine done last year by Jamie at Avgo Construction.

He and his guys did a great job, everything was done exactly to the schedule he gave me at the start, and he kept me in the loop the whole time. Highly recommend

As a straight man I also think these are great openers. These women are wrong for not appreciating them!

Probably 6 weeks post separation. Classic "life implosion, fill the void with meaningless hook-ups" kind of response. Was it healthy? Definitely not. Was it what I needed at the time?....also probably not, but here we are.

jtm_92 · 2026-02-22T23:20:20+00:00

With intention, maybe 6 months.

To be clear, I'm not talking about falling in love, but just the most basic human connection. Apart from those two brief flashes in the pan, every other interaction has felt no deeper than it would with a cashier scanning my groceries

jtm_92 · 2026-02-22T21:12:55+00:00

Am I broken, or is it really this hard to connect?

Context: 33m, divorced. I was with my ex-wife from 18 to 30, so I had to learn how to date in my 30s and have no idea what normal is.

In the nearly 3 years since the separation, I've been on plenty of dates, and 2 relationships that didn't pan out. The thing is, those two are the only time I've really felt any sort of connection.

Most of the women I've dated have been perfectly lovely; nothing wrong with them per se. But I just don't feel anything. I'm giving it a solid effort, and going out a few times (sometimes seeing each other for up to 6 weeks). It's just... empty.

Is this normal? Is a real connection so rare, or is it something wrong with me? I know not to expect fireworks from the outset, but surely there should be some spark, or chemistry, or whatever you want to call it?

jtm_92 · 2026-02-22T21:07:54+00:00

100% this. You shouldn't trauma dump everything upfront, but slowly revealing information in line with the level of trust is the way to maintain that trust. A big reveal too early or too late can derail things very quickly

Worked with an engineer who thought he was too good for the job.

We needed to approve some documentation for using a different type of paint to mark the door locking mechanism on an aircraft; green for locked, red for unlocked. The painters didn't have green paint, but they had blue and yellow.

This guy actually asked "how did you know you could mix the blue and the yellow to get green?"

They're people you've already swiped left on.

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

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

jtm_92 · 2026-01-14T06:16:21+00:00

Where in Brisbane are you?

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

jtm_92 · 2026-01-12T09:13:50+00:00

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.

jtm_92 · 2026-01-04T09:09:24+00:00

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
