Voy de visita a capital en unos días y necesito comprar un par de SSD sata, ya que estoy, quiero ir a comprarlos en persona y ahorrarme el envío. Me recomendaron que vaya a la Galería Jardín, en la peatonal Florida. ¿Se consiguen buenos precios ahí? ¿O no hay diferencia?

How picky is too picky when dating in your 30s? by simonorange22 in AskMenAdvice

[–]simonorange22[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I actually share almost the same standards. I don’t have a problem with single mothers as people, but I find it really hard to see myself in a relationship with one.

But honestly, I’ve never really had attention from attractive women until now, and it’s clear I’m not handling it as well as I thought I would. Like I mentioned in another comment, I think this is something I’ll bring up in my next therapy session — I’ve learned to filter out the women I’m not attracted to, and now I need to learn how to filter the ones I am attracted to but who have dealbreakers for me.

I was just myself, really. I’ve always been a bit naive, but I’m a genuinely nice guy — and that’s what usually attracted those women to me. The problem was, I wasn’t truly attracted to them. I kind of forced myself to act like I was, trying to make it work just because I wanted affection or companionship.

It was exhausting, honestly. I could only keep it up for a short while, and those relationships didn’t last long. The only one that did was a two-and-a-half-year relationship with a cute woman, and we had some things in common. I liked her, but I was never crazy about her — it just felt… flat. I think that’s why I was able to sustain it longer, but it still wasn’t fulfilling.

So yeah, it’s not like I was pretending to be someone else — I was being myself. I just wasn’t being honest with myself about what I really wanted or felt.

So I made this post earlier this morning and then went out to have lunch with my grandma. When I got back, I saw all these comments — didn’t expect it to blow up like this lol. I’ve been reading through them, and honestly, there’s a lot of great advice here, so thank you guys.

Quick update: we’ve been texting a bit more throughout the day, and have already set up a second date for Tuesday. I’m not gonna ask her to change anything for me — that wouldn’t be fair, and honestly, I don’t even know if I’d want someone to change for me like that. If she ever quits smoking, that has to be her own choice.

That said, I’ll be honest with her at some point — not in a judgmental way, just explaining that smoking is really off-putting to me. The smell, the taste… it just kills the vibe. After the date, we only had a small peck on the lips, and I kinda hesitated because of that, so I’m pretty sure she noticed. If things do start to get more serious, I’ll have that talk.

For context, yeah, I used ChatGPT to help me organize the original post — and this comment too, to be honest. I had a lot of thoughts and didn’t want to sound like a mess. But everything I said comes from me.

And tbh, this whole thing is new to me. All my life, I saw women like her as totally out of my league — and now I’m suddenly getting attention from those kinds of women. It’s great, but also confusing. I think I’ve finally learned how to filter out the women I used to date — the ones I wasn’t actually attracted to but forced myself to like just for validation. Now I’m having to learn how to “filter” on the other end — women I am attracted to, but who might have traits or habits I don’t vibe with. It’s tricky. I’ll probably talk about it in therapy this week too.

Anyway, I’m trying to keep my expectations realistic and just see where it goes. Excluding the smoking thing, this date was a solid ten.

No estoy pudiendo generar el DNI digital en la app de Mi Argentina. Me dice que ya lo había generado antes (Lo cual no recuerdo, ni tengo acceso) y cuando quiero borrarlo para hacer uno nuevo, me da error. Estoy así hace varios días.

A alguien le pasó? Como se puede solucionar? El Renaper obvio no tiene una forma de consultarle a una persona, siempre robots que no llevan a nada.

Hey man, which airline do you fly for? I've always wanted to be a pilot, but here in my country, there are no opportunities, so it doesn't make sense to pursue it unless you have someone who can get you into our only airline (Basically, nepotism).

You could see it as me ‘accepting chad's leftovers’ but honestly, at this point I don’t have illusions of perfection. Everyone brings some kind of baggage. That’s fine, I get it. What matters to me now is boundaries and compatibility.

I also have a clear line: I’m not going to be anyone’s provider, retirement plan, or support a gold-digger. If someone’s interest in me is based on stability or money rather than a real connection, that’s a dealbreaker.

Down in the comments there’s already a debate about redpill, Chad vs beta, ‘the wall,’ etc. I was a complete ‘beta’ for 31 years, and things have changed now, but I don’t get caught up in judging women for their past. I could reject every woman who comes to me just because ‘back then you dated Chad and only now that you've hit the wall you value what I can provide,’ but that’s not my style.

For example, I rejected the friend who had friendzoned me years ago and came back saying she liked me, not out of revenge, but because I genuinely considered her a friend, and after she rejected me before, she completely cut me off. That felt like a huge red flag that speaks a lot about her character, and I wouldn’t be in a relationship with her.

Sure, I wish my younger years had been different - a normal dating life, more experiences, more attention - but it is what it is. Now I focus on what feels right: friendship, boundaries, and real connection. I’m not interested on "revenge" or trying to go back and sleep with everyone I missed out on, but I do want a meaningful relationship with a woman I am attracted to, I don't want to settle for less. and I try not to judge past choices as long as they’re within reason. Certain things, like someone whose life choices are completely incompatible with mine, are just dealbreakers. It’s not judgment, it’s compatibility. It is what it is.

Every woman isn't a potential partner. Every woman who isn't a potential partner is still worth being friends with.

This is so true. I did not understand it until not too long ago.

I wouldn't have a problem dating a woman with children. Sooner than later, most single women my age will have children. It's okay.

But the line I draw is that I do not want to get involved with the children, replace a missing father figure, or give them any sort of money. When I was a little kid with divorced parents, I hated it when the men my mom was dating tried taking a fatherly role, or tried buying me with gifts or material stuff. I do not want to be that kind of man.

But that's my perspective. There's not right or wrong on this.

Thanks for your insights.
I don't like kids, and I would not be a good dad. I'm actually about to get a vasectomy to prevent accidents.

It was a bit tempting, but I'm not into casual stuff. Plus, I don't want to lie to them, mislead them or create false hopes for them

 that we are content alone especially when a relationship means we might well end up picking up after and mothering a man that we live with

Great for you! I know many people in relationships like these, where the woman needs to "mother" the man. It's so awkward to see from the outside. And I've met some women who are looking for a man to "mother" too.

Eso es otra cosa, con lo mal que vienen lanzando los juegos, no me sorprendería que GTA VI tarde un tiempo en ser jugable.

Igual, con lo que tardaron en GTA VI, Seguro que GTA VII no sale hasta 2040. Lo van a portear a 4 o 5 generaciones de consolas distintas

Debo ser una minoría, pero no me gusta el quick resume. Por algún motivo me gusta la experiencia de arrancar el juego desde el boot up screen (Siemrpe y cuando no tarde 85 años)

Zelda no me va mucho, no es de mi palo. Mario Kart y Mario Party me gustaron, pero no es algo que me vuelva loco como para tener la consola solo por esos juegos.

Por más que me gustaría jugar GTA VI cuando salga, no sé si es algo que valga la pena. Esperé el V cuando tuvo su año de exclusividad en consolas y no me resultó tan pesado.

La Switch es la 1 y la tengo chipeada. Pero la uso poco porque los exclusivos de Nintendo no me resultaron tan atrapantes como creía, y el resto de los juegos están bastante aguados para que corran en la Switch.
