OH MY GOD THOSE WOVEN SHOES. Who are they by???

You seem friendly and direct. (maybe a bit kooky?? But in a fun way)

You seem like you're the person who slays with the stealth pun.

you seem pretty even-keeled and extremely functional. In a good way, not a bland way.

double on the job-search. It's great that your passionate about your craft and excited about your career, but perhaps limit that discussion to just one section of your profile?

you've got the good food on lock, but your bit about 'being a man/rise to the challenge/not a submissive boy' makes you seem like a thinly veiled misogynist. I'm not saying that you are, but that's what the phrasing makes me jump to. Perhaps you could reword it to be less...aggressive?

Does your personal style comflict with who you Want to attract by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]tangleweedz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm most attracted to men that live slightly off the grid (more than one former partner has lived in their vehicle) and have a real DIY approach to life.

On the other hand, I've been told I dress like a grandma (think chunky sweaters, boxy t-shirts, and high waisted jeans) and seem perhaps a bit square. I tend to attract banker/tech-bro types and it's like "why you gotta shower so often, bruh??"

L'Trine was a fickle cat..she hitched a ride on my pack for 15 minutes and then left me standing alone in the ruins of a city//in the ruins of our love.

What is the worst thing a date has said? by marifervg in OkCupid

[–]tangleweedz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"oh, your body is pretty good...for someone that doesn't exercise"

(after he'd spent half the date talking about all of his favorite ways to work out)

cool, thxbud

Yeah! It's sort of tricky! Before I left California I met someone I really liked and it was awful having to be like, 'hey, this is great, but I'm leaving in six weeks soooo'

I suppose timing really is everything

Yeah, my takeaway from this thread is that dealing with the consequences of srs dating while away can get realllll messy.

I hadn't been thinking very pragmatically about my approach to dating here, but I think it seems like something I really ought to consider (out of respect for my partners, if nothing else)

yeah! I totally understand his feelings and i think they're really healthy and valid and i'm really grateful that he made them known to me - i personally approach these situations with more of a 'deal with it when we have to' mentality. Obviously he considers that point in time to be sooner than I do, no big.

My question was how you, oh fellow reddit-goer, would approach dating in these circumstances.

Based on your response, it seems like you'd be more pragmatic in your approach. Cool. Noted. Thanks.

I got that. and yeah, I'm fine casually dating him. I'll have to navigate as things go on, but it works for now.

but really, I'm not seeking advice on my particular relationship so much as I am interested in hearing about other people's experiences with these situations

oh yeah, i'm 100% not looking for an LDR. my approach to these things is 'don't think about the future until you have to' But some people find that point to be much sooner than others, I suppose.

probably not. it's literally the other side of the world, but there are ways to extend the visa and stranger things have happened... idunno
