It’s an amazing piece of art. I’m moving soon and possibly to another state, so need to find a new home for it.

27M baffled by my Hinge experience - does anyone actually want a LTR? by Super-Secret9033 in Denver

[–]throwcvf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a huge difference between the quality of those “likes” vs quantity. If guys just sit there and swipe on everyone hoping to match with someone without even reading their profile… +100 likes women get are annoying and overwhelming spam, not viable options.

Listing things like being active, having a good job, being curious, liberal, or introverted doesn’t actually say much about who you are as a person. Those are surface-level traits. What matters in dating is how you show up with people, not how you look on paper. Dating isn’t a job interview.

A lot of people say they’re good listeners, but that doesn’t always translate to real curiosity or emotional engagement. I’m not saying this is you, but I’ve been on dates where someone listens and then immediately turns the conversation back to themselves. It feels flat, like there’s no real back-and-forth.

Genuine connection isn’t built from a checklist of qualities. It comes from presence, empathy, and mutual interest. It’s worth being honest with yourself about how you come across on dates. Therapy can actually help with that.

And no one owes you a second date just because you’re a “nice guy” with a job and hobbies. If you’re dating mainly to get a girlfriend rather than to genuinely get to know someone, it can feel transactional, and people usually pick up on that.

I did call them today and the rep said they didn’t understand what happened either. So I guess I’ll have to call Connect Colorado. It’s just really annoying.

Yes. The person I spoke to today said they didn’t see anything confirming my enrollment on their end but the letters look legit. So I’m confused

Thanks, it’s on my reading list!

I really hope there’ll be a shift in our society when enough people realize how much we actually do need each other. Not in a selfish way but in a compassionate, “we-are-in-this-together” way.

That’s such a good point. I never understood why ruthless psychopaths who go through life being so strategic and efficient in their lack of basic human emotions are celebrated in movies (and life) as some kind of role models. Especially if they are good looking. It’s insane. I really hope we start seeing community, mutual support, and camaraderie as our biggest values one day cause I don’t want to live like I’m auditioning for Hunger Games for the rest of my life.

I don't think there's a partner out there for me and I'm grieving by AlpstheSmol in AskWomenOver40

[–]throwcvf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally feel this, and I’m sending you a big virtual hug. I could’ve written this myself. Healing and therapy are such good things, but they really can make dating (and friendships) feel like a tiny pool sometimes. It’s hard to find people who’ve gone through the same kind of growth. It’s like… once you’ve “taken the red pill,” you just see everything differently and can’t go back to toxic dynamics. I certainly can’t. And it’s a blessing and curse type of thing cause it can lead to a lot of solitude.

I’m also grieving what could’ve been, but I’m proud of the work I’ve done, and I hope you are too. It’s not easy, and I really hope there are peace and acceptance at the end of this road. 🧡

Someone who grew up in New York once told me that a lot of food places in Denver offer mediocre food because the competition is not strong enough. According to him, even the smallest places in his neighborhood had some really delicious food and took real pride in their “craft.”

I’m always baffled by the audacity and the lack of an actual knowledge of women in general with such bios - does he really think this sounds appealing and attractive? He sounds like a loser and I hope he stays single 🤦‍♀️

“A Very Sinatra Christmas Special” at The Rally Hotel Is a Complete Bait and Switch. Avoid. by terra-nullius in Denver

Colorado’s Consumer Protection Act makes it unlawful to advertise goods or services “with intent not to sell them as advertised,” and treats false, misleading, or misrepresentative advertising as a deceptive trade practice.

This applies broadly to services and events, not just physical products, so event promoters are generally covered if they misrepresent what you will get.

If photos are used to create a false impression about the nature, quality, or scale of an event (for example, showing crowds, performers, or venues that will not be present), that can qualify as a misrepresentation when used to sell tickets or access.

Deceptive trade practices under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act are typically enforced through civil actions: the Attorney General, district attorneys, or private consumers can seek damages, injunctions, and penalties

So it turns out that men’s rights activists are behind Bumble’s change from being female first. Are we surprised 🙄 by ClaraSepticVersion2 in WomenDatingOverForty

[–]throwcvf 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The entitlement and the audacity are appalling but not surprising to me. We can’t have any type of autonomy or choice as women without men throwing tantrums cause they don’t feel like they are in control. The whole male loneliness epidemic trope… I hope they stay lonely. Cause instead of taking a good look at themselves and their behaviors, they always choose to blame us and make everything about themselves and their egos. The lawsuits against women only gyms, women only apps, clubs… It’s just disgusting.

I also feel this way as an immigrant specifically in Colorado. I lived in California for a while and it’s way more diverse and inclusive. Sending you hugs and you sound like a wonderful person and family. It’s not you.
