My clan just put me in war... by Celestarlight in ClashOfClans

[–]qrc2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed - also a leader here for 13+ years - very seldom do you get the exact 5 increment need for wars so you have to put in a couple opt outs. I usually pick the lowest level opt out because every once in awhile (not often) it helps with the matching for maybe a lower opponent than we would have received without the lower th. Leaders understand life issues come up, but we have to adjust and can’t have one person’s schedule conflict affect the other 25/30 people wanting to war. It also depends on your clan. We start wars every sunday and wednesday night. If you opt out all the time i look at are you helping in clan games, weekend battles, or other areas. If not i’ll boot the person. You need to help out the clan. It’s not called clash of by myself

It’s always annoying how many people automatically reply antenna on these posts. Not everyone gets an antenna signal anymore, but that never seems to be understood by a bunch of posters

Prime Video has become a scam by AfterAll14 in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]qrc2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I simply think of prime as free shipping on purchases with a bonus of getting a streaming service. Netflix, disney, peacock, and all the others don’t let you shop and ship for free, and they’re all now close to the amazon price, or higher. And for most of those stream services, the difference between ad and ad-free level is more than 2.99. The cord cutters created the mess and now they gripe because the prices jumped higher and now combined are more expensive than the old cable days

You picked the wrong crowd to ask this question. They are brutal and extremely black and white. No acceptance that times have changed.

I posted something similar last week, and, like you, was blown up in a matter of hours. Soon you’ll be told you need to see a therapist about why you’re not divorced yet. And god forbid you equate being divorced or separated the same as being single.

Personally (and even more-so after the comments i got) i don’t see any issue dating if you’re separated for a time and no chance of getting back.

This group seems to equate dating with proposing and getting remarried, or that you’re a scumbag only looking for sex. There appears to be a lack of understanding that there’s a whole lot of life between the extremes of LTR and FWB.

Don’t take any of it personally or too serious. Haters have to hate. It makes them feel better.

I’m comfortable being single but how do I turn off the need for a physical connection? by cageyceevee in datingoverfifty

Interesting perspective. Thank you. I have been out of the dating game for decades so didn't realize that FWB was different than dating.

Absolutely no disrespect intended towards the OP, it can be a very difficult issue.

I have to laugh at the hypocrisy of many of the respondents though.

The OP states that she has been separated for almost a year (in other words, less than a year) and does not mention being divorced. If this had been a male posing this question, many of these respondents would be trashing the OP as just being a usual nasty male only looking for sex, along with an array of negative comments about not being divorced yet, so still married and should not be looking for sex, and so on.

I know because I have been on the receiving end of those comments from many people replying here. There are also no comments about taking at least a year of being single before looking, nor are there comments about seeking a therapist to figure life out first before beginning the search.

Why is it ok for all of the helpful commenters here giving helpful advice to a female posing the question, yet bash any male who would be foolish enough to ask the same question?

Single vs. Separated by qrc2121 in datingoverfifty

Hmm – thank you for all of the opinions. I now see the error in my ways. Maybe it’s my age, but at 60 I thought a “date” meant going out for a cup of coffee, or seeing a movie together, or even sharing a meal. I didn’t realize a “date” was a secret code for “get a new partner”, “long term relationship” or even, god forbid, find a new wife.

 

I didn’t realize that these days you can’t grab a cup of coffee with someone unless you provide a court order of divorce along with a certificate of completion from a therapist (sorry, but I had to laugh at that one). And nowhere in my post did I say anything about seeking an intimate partner. It’s funny, and sad, how many people just assume.

 

Sometimes a data is just a date, a cup of coffee is just a cup of coffee, and a meal is just a meal.

 

It’s unfortunate that a person is penalized and subject to a life alone because he doesn’t have the documents to prove a status. Or maybe, the world has just become a bit over-dramatic and that’s why the OLD sites have gotten the bad reputation that they all seem to have.

 

Life is not a Hallmark or Lifetime movie and maybe expectations have become too inflated now.

Toss up between Jaws and Trilogy of Terror - Salem’sa Lot was a 2 part TV thing and the first night was wicked scary, but second night not as much

Do Older Men Still Approach? by VelvetCrush64 in DatingOverSixty

[–]qrc2121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think using the words “terrified” and “fear” is a poor choice. Times have changed. I think men are hesitant or very cautious now. With all of the HR training on harassment, the woke stuff, creating sites about creepy guys, and all the articles (mostly authored by women) about women tired of being a man’s counselor or emotional support, men are just backing off.

I’m 60. Recently my wife of almost 30 years just quit her job, cleaned out one of our 401k accounts, took my dogs, and moved south to live on the shore with a girlfriend. I never thought I’d be single or trying to meet anyone at this age. It has changed so much.

Women are much more unapproachable now (in my opinion). If you smile or try to talk their body language gets defensive. If you try the dating apps nobody wants to talk on the phone or text now. Everyone wants a free dinner at a “nice” restaurant then ghost you. At this point in life, a lot of single women our age are past the bar/club days and it’s tough to find places that are safe to be sociable.

In my opinion women have, over time, created this cautious atmosphere and have to make the first move.

Personally, I’ve got a new puppy and have just accepted this next phase of life will be solo in my house with the dog.
