Online dating thread

I feel like someone middle-aged pursuing modeling or becoming a social media influencer would be much worse (I say knowing a few that have done exactly that)

There are plenty of middle aged women doing well for themselves pursuing modeling these days…on OF

FYP

subtle

Guess who has been dating a Chinese ironing board for a month? She’s pretty awesome and a great gf so far- I’ve learned more dating her and feel some comments in this thread didn’t explain situation well enough.

I showed her this thread and she said some of the advice was really good actually and something she would say to a guy friend.

Dude. Do not

I don't understand how you could ever think this is a good idea.

Remember what she said to you after she dumps/cheats on you. Pinpoint showing her this as one of the moments where you went wrong.

I'm still new in the online dating world and tbh I'm just using it as a bit of escapism and am not really meeting anyone right now given my chaotic circumstances but one of the things I really enjoy are the women who write 'No Scammers!' or sth similar on their profile.

which of course....none of us really do... but I just wonder if they think that scammers are reading that and deciding not to contact them anyway?

So much sweeter scamming someone who doesn’t want to be scammed.

Double points

idk jkpoker, even though this is by no means a secret identity of mine (many 2p2ers know my real name from financial transactions, there are numerous photos of me on the site, and i've met up with a bunch of people from here irl)

and while i don't think i ever posted anything that would make me look bad - though i'm sure many of you would disagree 😀 - even if i weren't posting in an online dating thread - there's just no chance i'd ever disclose what my 2p2 identity is to others who were not part of the forum, let alone a woman i was freshly dating

it would just feel too intrusive like they could view my posting history and peel back layers and just see everything whereas i don't get back that same level of intimate thoughts from them

same reason why i changed my name on quora to a random one - some girl i was dating looked me up there and started reading all my answers and comments and while it was all out there for the public and she did it because she was into me - it felt invasive as an asymmetric exchange

This reads like you are 22 and she’s 47

Hopefully it continues to work out for you!

99.9% odds she calls herself that

What does "Chinese ironing board" even mean?

Flat with no body

But it comes with access to all her boyfriend’s TwoPlusTwo posts.

It means another Asian lady comes over and irons your collared shirts on top of her, it's a little-known fetish for rich men.

It's not that little-known.

I thought it was along the lines of Mexican Mattress.

A former Aussie Rules player from the 90s and 00s had the nickname ‘the Mattress’ because of how much rooting he used to do and I always thought it was about the greatest sporting nickname

is anyone on facebook?
