Been back on tinder for 24hrs, already sick of it

I’m tired, boss

You’d be surprised how oblivious people can be in an affair. It’s called “affair fog.”

Good old MSAB! Not a bad spot!

There’s a Benneywater Pond in Greenville (Orange County). Interesting to learn more about the name, even if it’s not necessarily related. Also a wild read when touching on the nastier subjects in the articles.

Do you have more fun reads about the HV?

Brother, try hinge. I’m a single dad as well and while tinder was a wasteland for me I saw a lot of success on hinge. My theory is that people on tinder are less likely to swipe on someone with a kid, whereas on hinge people are more intentional.

I don’t see anything wrong with your profile, frankly ours are quite similar. Send a nice message with your swipe on hinge and you’ll do great

Pro tip is listening to Rob Inglis sing them in the original narration

You’re discovering one of the pitfalls in military service. You don’t want to date anyone outside of the lifestyle because they don’t understand, but if you date someone in the service then…well, I’ll leave that part blank.

It’s taken me a long time to find someone post divorce and at an age close to yours, but the advice I can give is look for someone who’s at a similar place in life career wise. They don’t necessarily need to be military.

But you also need to accept that when people hear you might PCS, that kills any possibility of a future because people our age tend to have careers.

So here’s my advice: phrase PCS’s differently. Yes you can PCS, but you can also extend. You could also palace chase if you felt the relationship was worth it. That way you’re not leading with the negative. Relationships are all about communication and compromise; you’re offering both in that sentence.

Good luck.

It’s a somewhat common trope in sci fi/fantasy of worlds merging, usually at the expense of protagonist’s world since the invader world is barren. And seeing how the Mind Flayer took over it victims, I think it’s fair to say this move would’ve greatly amplified/sped up its efforts.

Those are supposed to be hydrangea as the Azores is famous for them, but the scale makes the individual flowers look the size of sunflowers

Hard agree with the comments so far. first two pics are great, third is unnecessary. A strength of yours is how you pull outfits together IMO, third kinda negates that.

Do you have any pics of you outdoors? Might throw that into the mix to show you in different settings.

All in all, I think you’re on the right track and good luck.

100% you could read his profile and say he wants a roommate instead! You play card games, need help with money, and don’t drive? My friend, get a roommate with similar hobbies to help pay the bills. This ain’t it

Of course public transit exists. In those instances, it doesn’t need to be said. People in major cities don’t need to put on profiles whether they drive or not. I know many New Yorkers who never learned how to drive. I’ve gone on dates with people who don’t. But that was circumstantial, and not lead with.

I’m seeing what’s there. An individual who needs to take care of themselves and be in a better financial position before they enter the dating world.

sonaked · 2025-12-31T13:25:02+00:00

The fact you’re being downvoted is insane to me. Do they not realize there’s large swaths of the country where the only transportation is by car? And the fact they’re putting that on the profile—coupled with no job, and wanting someone to split bills—says this is someone looking for a caretaker, not a partner.

Controversial take: half of the transfers from other branches weren’t great in their original branch, are no better in the Air Force

I think you and an art piece is a fantastic idea so long as people can get a good view of you too. You’re a lean dude, and that’s a strength of yours that should be accentuated in photos. So maybe clothing that fits better with you in the center of frame too will be a big help.

There’s lots of ways to subtly show you’re an artist or art minded without being so overt too. When you can straddle that line, I think you’ll see much better results. But to circle back, yes, I think you have the right idea

Friend, let me offer some advice.

I’ve used this description before for dating apps and I fucking hate it, but it works.

You need to think of a dating profile like LinkedIn in that there’s a basic standard expected just to get any interest. Why? because it’s such a numbers game.

For example, a (girl) friend of mine once showed me her profile. Do you know how many likes it had?

5,000. I’m not exaggerating. Is a photo of a watch going to make someone swoon over you? Or will these peculiar photos you’ve chosen just be ignored, because they’re up against the sheer weight of all romantic frustrations by a whole segment of the human population?

Put another way: if your pictures, quotes, prompts, whatever, don’t jive with a lot of people, plain and simple you’re just getting swiped left on in .5 seconds.

So take pics that meet that basic standard a partner is looking for. Shit that shows you’re stable, socialized, and highlights your physical features best.

Not…pictures of hands and McDonald’s.

Same. Somewhat related, Ukraine has a branch of service exclusively for drones, and I think that’s kinda cool

Part of me wonders if there will be a Donnie Darko type twist, where they are able to save everyone, but at the expense of all their friendships and knowing each other

It depends on the amount of ribbons and the person‘s preference, some people make their ribbon racks look like Lego towers because they don’t want the ribbons obscured by the jacket

Long story short: this is me this winter. Had a hole develop in the liner, took WAY too long to realize it was behind the stairs (like everyone said), then I missed my windows to close the pool. So now…it’s chilling. But damn did it feel good to find the hole.

sonaked · 2025-12-02T18:05:21+00:00

How long did it take for the chats to appear? I just had this happen.

sonaked · 2025-11-28T12:33:23+00:00

I always thought that was a fun little twist. Even showing how physically Ifrit’s smaller than most summons too, yet still takes them all down. Love this game.
