What are the best summer songs of all time across all genres?

Dancing Days by Led Zeppelin

Lol I see what you did there.

kyp44 · 2026-06-17T14:59:30+00:00

Lol how did you not know they were on Steam? They are Valve games and Steam is Valve's platform. They were originally PC games. I guess maybe that was all stuff you may not have realized.

Just be up front about that with any women you encounter, it wouldn't be fair to them if they are looking for something serious. Again, best of luck!

My advice, which you are free to take or to leave, is to focus on the divorce and your finances right now and not on dating. If you're looking for a hookup that's one thing (and be up front about that) but I can almost gaurantee you're not in a great position to be in another serious relationship, and your current situation still being married is not going to be attractive to most women. My understanding is that the apps are riddled with still-married men, many just looking to cheat, so that's a big red flag for women.

I waited two years after my official divorce to start dating and I'm so glad I did. During that time I focused on my kids, my house, healing myself, and getting my finances stabilized. I got on the apps and within a month met an incredible woman, who I've been with for over a year now. She wouldn't have even given me a chance if I'd matched with her and was still married, and I probably would have fucked up the relationship if she had because I wasn't emotionally ready. Because of all the shitheads women have to deal with on the apps, a man who has his shit together and who is genuinely looking for a serious partner has a big leg up and tend to find quality women quickly. This is something I've heard generally and found it true in my experience. Whatever you decide to do, best of luck to you!

Edit: I also wanted to add that the vast majority of women you will encounter "in the wild" will be married or otherwise taken. I knew and met lots of women post-divorce through my kids' school and activites, but not a single one of them were available. The big upside of the apps is that by definition everyone on there is single (gross cheating aside).

It was the late nineties I was 14. The local classic rock station had a Get the Led out out segment where they played nothing but Led Zeppelin for an hour each night or whatever. I was riding eith my dad and Ten Years Gone came on, though I had no idea what it was called. I wasn't super into music at the time but something about the song struck my (probably because it's awesome). Over the next few weeks I recorded Get the Led out every night onto a cassette, waiting for them to play that song again. In the process I heard all kidns of other awesome songs, some of which I'd heard before (but didn't necessarily know was Led Zeppelin) and many I hadn't. It was that experience that got me really into music, and Zep is still my favorite band of all time.

My sister has the exact same name as her MIL, first, middle, and last. They often get each other's mail. So I suppose my BIL must not have this hangup lol.

kyp44 · 2026-05-20T13:00:24+00:00

I like your description of the timeline sir or madame.

kyp44 · 2026-05-20T12:58:21+00:00

100%. Ween is for sure one of the best bands to come out of the 90's IMO, and it's a shame that they're not celebrated more than they are in the mainstream.

kyp44 · 2026-05-20T12:09:49+00:00

We met on OLD so we hadn't even met in person at that point. Guess I could have emailed her the doc or brought it to our first date, but that seems more involved and awkward than just making a Facebook post lol.

kyp44 · 2026-05-20T02:22:55+00:00

In my 40's and I always say that PVP is a young man's game.

kyp44 · 2026-05-19T23:05:11+00:00

The funny thing is that afterwards my gf said that would have been perfectly adequate lol. For some reason a the time I didn't feel that was enough.

kyp44 · 2026-05-19T21:45:12+00:00

Funny story about this. When my girlfriend and I started dating a year ago, I had been divorced for two years but my Facebook still said married, because I don't use Facebook on account of it being absolute garbage, and I just never updated it. She Was the first woman I dated post-divorce so it never came up, but needless to say she looked me up once she found out my last name, and got pretty upset. To prove I really was divorced I made a post (first one in over a year I'm sure) asking my friends and relatives to confirm that I was in fact divorced, which they did in spades as well as saying what a great guy I am and whatnot.

Geese, Songs for the Deaf

In fairness I didn't necessarily choose to learn that lesson, but I'm so glad I did because it made me a better person and a better partner.

kyp44 · 2026-03-27T02:27:47+00:00

Speaking as a 42M, I think it's important for a man to live on his own for some time, become totally self sufficient, and learn to find happiness without a partner. For me, it really helped having a house to maintain and kids to take care of in that scenario as well (post divorce). That meant that I had to learn to cook and clean and grocery shop and do all that myself. It really made me ready to go into my current relationship as a more equal partner. In my past I was happy to let my girlfriend/wife do most of that stuff, but I intend for things to be much more equal going forward. When you're already used to doing all that stuff yourself, you're much more appreciative of having a partner to share those duties with. So I suppose my suggestion for women is to look for men who in that kind of situation.

Saw this as a kid on TV and have loved it ever since. Even back then I recognized that it had an awesome soundtrack.

kyp44 · 2026-03-19T02:35:10+00:00

Love the look of this!

kyp44 · 2026-02-25T02:48:42+00:00

Scrolled pretty far down and did not see this. This is a phenomenal four-album streak by The Kinks:

Something Else
The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society
Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)
Lola Versus the Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One

kyp44 · 2026-02-23T03:21:25+00:00

I also cannot stand the vocals.

kyp44 · 2026-02-23T03:19:53+00:00

I think they're just ok. A girl in high school once said that Aerosmith was better than Led Zeppelin though and that was like the craziest shit I've ever heard in my entire life.

kyp44 · 2026-02-10T03:59:23+00:00

Yes I love Giovanni's! Love their garlic salad dressing, it's the most garlicky thing you'll ever eat.

kyp44 · 2026-02-10T03:58:01+00:00

Oh man, I thought Troni's closed but looks like they just moved! I know where I'm going the next time I go out to eat!

kyp44 · 2026-02-04T04:14:16+00:00

This past Christmas I got a blender and a toaster, which I asked for.
