Yeah me too, I just remembered a dude telling me "there is no stranger way than how a woman chooses a man" and it applied very accurately.

Hard to understand what those graphs are actually saying?

The graphs are trying to show that men rate women evenly across a spectrum where women rate men more binarily

Yes, it’s the only thing which fits with Rick’s narrative

Almost impossible for it to be anything other than total nonsense though

If that were true there would be two peaks on the second chart (even if one peak were lower). But that's not the case. The second chart is just skewed to the left, which is presumably showing that women on average judge men on average more harshly than men on average judge women on average.


I think probably the only truth is that women..::both individually and collectively..have a larger ‘no’ zone than men do

yes, like when you are watching a movie probably every dude in the theater would happily bang the lead actress given the right hall pass conditions

whereas a large portion of women would not bang the devastatingly handsome lead actor because they'll find some reason or another to nope out

I don’t believe that at all and it wasn’t what I was saying. Women might say that but they absolutely don’t mean it.

I was saying that way more dudes will bang a lot of the women in the 1-4 range if they’re not gonna get found out. And women won’t

I believe the logic of a lot of the ‘well…men are biologically driven to spread their seed, while women are driven to find a suitable mate’

yes and this manifests in "tom cruise is super hot but i don't want short children so won't bang"


they would all **** Tom Cruise.


by feel wrath m

they would all **** Tom Cruise.

agreed, but some think they wouldn't and would swipe accordingly


by feel wrath m

Nah, definitely not. He is a well-known complete Scientology nutjob. That's understandably disqualifying for many.

The conversation (at least on my part) was around looks rather than personality. But in your scenario, I agree that the Scientology part would be a way bigger disqualified than the height part


damn okc haven't heard of that in awhile, feel like eons ago it was THE online dating site then tinder just wped it out. are they still in business and in use?


@rickroll gg - my view is that when you're no longer dating women in their 20s, their NOT having children is as much of a red flag as their having children.

I got some 25mg over the internet but then also got my doc to give me a prescription when I went in last week for my annual check up and that was 100mg tabs. Albeit he advised to only take a half.

I might trial a 25mg one this weekend just to see what it’s like

25 mg of sildenafil (viagra) is a quarter of the "medical" dose and a good place to start recreationally if it's just nerves etc. Unlike what the other guy said, with tadalafil (cialis) the "medical" dose is 20 mg and the recreational/nerves dose would be more like 5mg.

Get a pill cutter and try half of a half (so a quarter) of the 100mg ones because presumably they're sildenafil.

Also - don't let the pill get caught in your throat or you'll wake up with a stiff neck.

yeah this is kind of my thoughts exactly and before knowing about the kids i was kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop because i was like there's no way she's this fun/chill/pretty so eventually i'll get invited over and find out she's deep into qanon or a flat earther

when she exclaimed how worried she was i'd bail when she disclosed the kids that was my basic response as well, that there are 3 kinds of single women in my dating range

1) single moms
2) career women who don't want children
3) very difficult dating partners
4) unicorns

while you'd always want the unicorn, #1 is far preferable to the others imo, unless of course you don't want children in which case there are quite a few pretty good options at #2

anyways, things going very well - to the point that it's a little alarming "this should not be going that well"

every twist and turn has met or exceeded expectations, every disclosure of some strange quirk each other has is met with "that's actually how i would handle it as well"

i've dated tall women before, but man, there's a huge chasm mentally speaking between 6' and 5'10" - being around her is actually really good for my posture because i get an instant visual reminder if i ever start slouching

she also gives 0 fs about what i do for a living, but she's also not an idiot which somehow thinks it's a positive and just tells her friends how i labeled it on my dating profile as someone who is self employed in predictive analytics

the very few instances where a female was very into my career was always a major red flag, as were the "i could never date a gambler" so the complete indifference with "i trust you have good reasons for doing that and know what you're doing" but feeling neither positive nor negative towards it is ideal - also helps that it came as a late disclosure, so i'm rickroll who gambles for a living not a gambler named rick

Yes, the 100s are also sildenafil. I’ve tried both a 25 and a 50 and both seem to work well. Also have been fine doing surprise ones without anything.


RR,

A gambler named rick is how I mention you to my friends and family with sharing your interesting anecdotes.


Nice one Rick.
Love tall women

The bartender asks "How the tall woman?"


going very well, everything going far above expectation

she's so much fun to be around, never really gelled with anyone like this before

importantly we have the same exact sense of humor so all of my jokes land with her and so do hers with my own so we're always laughing with each other

i'm sure we'd be a super annoying couple to be around, much like when michael was with the hr lady in the office and they had similar awful tastes in humor and constantly cracked each other up, which is a big improvement because my most recent ex was definitely a jan

kinda feel like all my prior amorous feeling have all been invalidated


@rickroll

pay your superbowl debts

by bigpotpoker m

Hey I don't know what's going on with this, but don't lie. I sent you 2 PMs, 1 on March 15th on where to send, and then another on March 27th asking again to square up.


bumping to clear post error but if there is truth to Zeta then Richard needs to pay off his debt


zeta is a creep and a very weird dude, i'm not dodging anyone

i have a spotless reputation and am net positive in that thread by 1k

that guys dm is broken and zeta is just a weirdo off his meds and i had to block his number because he'd call and text me nonstop all the time

go to the thread in question and you'll see not a single person thinks anything is going one other than zeta being a total asshat and trying to slander me because i blocked him so i wouldn't get a dozen texts from him every day

just a total ffing loser who is on vendetta mode because i told him he's too autistic to text with


just to prove that zeta is an asshat trying to slander me because he's a total loser

he literally knows the guy in question has broken dms

by ZetaPsi909 m

i think something might be wrong with your PM's b/c i sent you a PM recently as well and you did not respond. message me back if you received it.


seriously this should be a temp ban situation for this kind of disgusting attempt at sullying my reputation where he gets a perma if he does it again

absolutely scumbag behavior that's way over the line
