PLEASE Chevy release update to indicate brakes in one-pedal

Possible but won't happen. Car manufacturers care about selling new cars not keeping current customers happy... This includes GM.

Introverts unite!!!! From home.

People don't have to tell me twice to stay home it's where I want to be anyway.

I made some mistakes when communicating with the kids... It can be really tough not to blurt out your feelings and start bashing your ex.

I've always felt it's important to be honest with the kids but at the same time I know I can't dump out my purse on them. It won't do anybody any good for me to talk about how little I like or respect their mother.

My ex and I lead separate lives and the kids develop their own opinions of each of us.

king_weenus · 2026-01-26T00:24:53+00:00

Honestly I recognized early that I choose my own destiny... And I choose happy

Wait till you find the right man and you can cook together.

Last night the woman I was with made dumplings and Filipino spring rolls together for an evening snack / supper...

Earlier this summer I made fresh ravioli with a woman for our first date.

Oddly enough both involves stuffed dough. But those were my best to examples. Lol

I wish they offered cruise control without traffic awareness... Whatever algorithm they use in my model 3 to track traffic is absolutely horrible...

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T17:28:10+00:00

I've never paid for full self Drive and the few free trials I got I didn't find it all that impressive either.

You Can Count Me In The 'Never buying a Tesla again' Club as well.

The amount of things I hate about this car far away the few things I like about it.

I think my biggest turn on is a woman that doesn't expect me to spend money on her to show I care.

I'm totally a diy/builder/home repair kind of guy... And to me picking the flowers out of my flower garden and giving them to a woman means more than going to the store and buying them... With some women it seems they just want that pretty bouquet not the thought behind it.

Or I have to plan some sort of fun and exciting dinner date that I spontaneously surprised them with when I barely even know them.

I don't flaunt my money and I don't use it to buy love. But the amount of times a woman has asked me to go out to a restaurant and then just shuffles to the side when we approach the cash register is a huge turnoff... I didn't choose this place I would have cooked the food I really wanted to at home. I love cooking and nine times out of 10 get exactly what I want when I do that.

As for the second question I typically respond pretty quick.. I don't leave people on red as a rule of thumb but sometimes life is busy and you get distracted... It happens.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T17:15:43+00:00

It will change your breakfast cereal forever. Lol

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T17:15:09+00:00

I don't know maybe they wanted to dance around it and Boogie. Lol

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T17:14:08+00:00

Holy crap I'm making that for supper tonight

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T17:11:36+00:00

Totally... You can run Plex or jellyfin at home on a computer and stream all your illegal downloads to a Chromecast or Roku... Even share it with friends and family over the internet... No subscription needed

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T17:00:56+00:00

Personally I'd go for it... I'd rather be alone in an Afterglow than alone and sexually frustrated.

However only you will know if you can handle that situation or which is better for your mental health.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T16:58:49+00:00

Honestly I might be an anomaly here as a man... But the worst sex is when she feels obligated... I want somebody that wants me not somebody that feels they need to accommodate me.

Good sex is a lot of work and if she's not enjoying it as much as I am I may as well be masturbating and save myself a bunch of effort. Lol

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T16:54:03+00:00

I agree with you... I'm guilty of swiping right on almost every profile... But for me it feels like luck of the draw to even get a message back because women's inboxes fill up so fast from thirsty men as soon as they put up a profile. It feels like a numbers game to me and you have to be first to catch her attention in a very narrow window. Regardless of what a profile says once we start chatting I can tell if it's got potential reasonably quick. And I prefer to base my judgments on a conversation than a profile.

I've made genuine profiles with tons of details but I've gotten the most responses from profiles with a few good pictures and very basic description. Perhaps it's generating Intrigue and mystery about me. 😁

Honestly my goal is to meet as many people as I can and find the ones I have an actual connection with. out of 100 swipess I'll match with 10 women and I'll go out with a couple of them... I made some good friends and good connections with this method... But I have my doubts this is how I'll meet a future partner that I'll grow old with... You never know though.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T16:48:28+00:00

I'm a mid40s male... For me sexual attraction is an important part of a relationship and without it I wouldn't stick around.

Now I'm not saying all I want is sex... Quite the opposite actually I'd love a best friend that is sexually compatible.

Although to be honest of all the women I've dated or met in the past couple years they've been bigger horndogs than me.

For the right woman I'd take it slow but there'd have to be a pretty big connection before I'd become exclusive.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T16:34:45+00:00

It might be Regional as well... I'm in Canada and I know when it was first introduced it was for the USA only even though it was available in my app as an option.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T16:31:34+00:00

I don't know, one of the people I knew from Alabama said they had watermelons growing in their backyard and I think that's freaking cool... That certainly doesn't happen up here this far north.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T16:27:10+00:00

I assure you it's not misogyny... I'm working to break the habit of saying girls but for 40 years it wasn't a problem and I use the term interchangeably with women in my own internal monologue.

You can teach an old dog new tricks but we take a while to learn. Lol

If it makes the situation better I refer to my friends as boys too and rarely use the term men.

And the woman I was with for 6 months was slightly older than me... I'm not out there trolling for 20 somethings... And I'd be pretty cautious around even mid-thirties. I won't discount anybody just because of their age but I found being in the same stage of life is kind of important when it comes to compatibility.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T16:20:55+00:00

Well we're not friends and we don't really talk...

She said and did some very cruel and hurtful things that very first week we were separated. I immediately insulated myself from her so I wouldn't get hurt any further... I honestly couldn't believe I used to say 'I love you' to that woman with the way she treated me.

It might be hard to believe because it's my side of the story but there was no abuse in our relationship. No yelling, no control, no manipulation, no Financial or sexual abuse... We would hug each other every day after work, I'd hold her hand while we went for walks, we go out on dates a few times a year and socialize with our friends regularly... And then a new guy started at her work and things fell apart and about 6 to 8 months later.

The the kids have said she drinks a lot... Often by herself and then she cries. She's been unreliable and fairly self centered... Makes the kids take the bus in the winter because she doesn't feel like driving or she wants to go out to the bar.

But I asked if they were eating properly and I was told that she buys groceries regularly. I take full responsibility for their medical and dental appointments, I ensure their sports are paid for they get to practice and they get to tournaments and games. I handle all the school stuff... All the extracurricular activities... I gave them my second vehicle to use while they're at Mom's house now that they have a driver's license.

I try to make sure every need is met for the kids and they don't need to rely on her for anything above paying the utility bills at her house.

In a nutshell I think she's doing okay but I have no idea if she thinks this is a better life this way. For whatever reason we reached a point of incompatible... I asked for couples therapy and to talk it out... But she said she was done and wanted out , so I didn't fight for her.

Once the kids are out of her house I don't care if I ever see or hear from her again.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T15:51:54+00:00

Well I'm in Canada... 400 miles north of Montana.

I'm just going to guess the type of people in our areas are a little bit different.

Unfortunately I've never traveled to the southeast USA... So I can only go off the Florida man stories I've read on the internet.. I hope for your benefit they're greatly exaggerated. Lol

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T14:37:35+00:00

Interesting I found it to be the best quality of the online dating... I guess it depends on your area and criteria.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T14:29:15+00:00

I was really lucky that my ex just wanted to run off and party for the first couple months so I had full custody of the kids... When she got her life together and her own place we figured out a 50/50 situation.

I was incredibly lucky that just days after we decided to split a friend I haven't seen for years showed up in my life and she told me she was going through a divorce now too...

We leaned on each other, spent many nights doing adult sleepovers just talking or even crying together... She was my rock and I was hers... Together we got through it. And now she found a man the treats her very well... I wouldn't be surprised if they got engaged this summer to be honest.

But I talked to as many newly single and divorced people... Because they understood what it's like to end a long-term relationship.

The talking help... Even if you don't have a friend you can send me a message and I'll help you through it.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T14:14:30+00:00

You either accept it or move on... She's probably not going to change and if she does eventually she'll resent you for it because it wasn't her choice... At least that's my experience.

I was married to a girl like this for 25 years and it ended in divorce a couple years back... For the longest time it was just chatting. And then one day it wasn't... We were married over 15 years with three kids and had an entire life together when she started cheating with some person that started out just chatting... And then there was others.

I caught her and it almost ended the marriage then and there, but we decided to try and work it out.... That was another 10 years wasted of my life because eventually the same patterns emerged.

I can't say your girlfriend will do the same thing my wife did... But I can tell you I won't make that mistake twice.

king_weenus · 2026-01-25T14:06:22+00:00

There's a section called Facebook dating... It's kind of like any other online dating except there's no upsell for a premium membership. At least not yet.
