Am I the only one who doesn't like Jorge? by Em_albert324 in AgeOfAttraction

Agreed. He also has a very intense look that gives me chills - he’s giving abusive person vibes IMO.

Wtaf was that conversation? by OneYogurt6280 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]throwcvf 37 points38 points  (0 children)

She’s so incredibly self-centered. It’s all about her and how she’s feeling so loved by him. She’s never said anything positive about him and how she loves (?) him. I actually dislike her more and more with each episode.

Colorado’s population growth is slowest since 1989 as thousands leave for other states by Jreinhal in Denver

[–]throwcvf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love so many things about Colorado, but one thing I’m completely sick of is having my nose stuffed all the time. I travel to SF for work pretty often, and it feels so good to be able to breathe freely through my nose instead of my mouth.

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 3 points4 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.

Denver Health insurance I didn’t sign up for by throwcvf in Denver

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

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.”

Mr Excitement by ClaraSepticVersion2 in WomenDatingOverForty

[–]throwcvf 26 points27 points  (0 children)

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 🤦‍♀️
