Online dating thread
I started this as a thread where 2+2 members could share advice on online dating. I'm 25 years old, and have had trouble
i've been intimate while wearing a cap and basketball shorts. some of us don't need an artificial boost.
Professors and TAs are slaying it! WTF are you talking about?
yeah man, no deep deep insecurity at all, there's good reason why you didn't share the direct conversation

you're referencing a random post from 6.5 years ago that i've completely forgotten but apparently still sticks deeply to your soul
i know that guy personally and still in touch despite that he's no longer posting here, he was a good looking guy who was a gym rat in impeccable shape but fairly autistic and generally dressed like garbage which was undoing all the hours he was putting up at the gym
i stand by everything i said
just look at all the conversation preceding and following that, nobody disagreed other than you and you were arguing not against me, but many people who disagreed with you

and here you are both agreeing with my general sentiments, but oddly think that boat shoes cost 1k

i think this is where the disconnect comes from, you have no clue what boat shoes are

just example after example of you arguing against the world in that thread... and yet despite that you agree with the core principles i and others mentioned, 6.5 years later you are still holding onto this like an albatross and clearly very bitter to the point where for 4 years you held onto the hilarious belief that i live with my parents on the spurious evidence of "he asked a question in a thread about his parent's property" and then waited this entire time to "unload a zinger" on me
again, this is about you and your own journey through life and your own insecurities you need to sort out on your own and has absolutely nothing to do with me
A grand stand like that really wasn’t necessary.
And was probably just a huge waste of effort/time.
We don’t need to devolve this thread into a “shoe apparel 4rollz”.
And all this time I thought boat shoes were made out of actual boat material.
I never read the long posts - who is on the side of boat shoes and who is against?

I am sure there is some world where you say that you think women won't talk to you if you wear sneakers and then call me insecure, but this isn't it.
i said women notice shoes. that's it. again, it's your own insecurities here speaking, the ones which carried with burden with you for nearly 7 years, which forced you to completely change the narrative into something else, which caused you to fabricate an entirely made up biography of me so you could feel better about yourself
i barely knew anything about you heading into this conversation, but now i know that you're a deeply sad and pathetic insecure man
try being unburdened by what has been?

We've interacted a few times.
Wait, did you really say that broken loafers are more comfortable than sneakers. Do you want people to take you seriously?
But apparently you think I am from Indiana or broke. Pro tip... don't talk down to people.
27o hasn't been around for a while, so I'll channel him: Drop this, take it to PMs, or risk the bad posters containment thread, imo.
Read the fine print. Cliffs: Just my opinion, man.
Can I be called insecure too? I don't want to be left out of the insecure party!
Spoiler
I could bring chips and dip!
lololololol dude i said he should dress better and pay attention to his footwear. you're the one who got so obsessive over a throwaway comment that you bottled it up, carried it for almost 7 years, invented absurd narratives about me to feel better, and then jumped out of nowhere to attack me for it 7 years later, all while conveniently forgetting that i was one of many people saying that - and since you shared the comment and i looked, you were literally the only person saying otherwise
and you think i'm the one talking down to people?
we both have thousands of posts, so of course we've crossed paths in the same threads at times. that still doesn't change the fact that i don't know the first thing about you. we've never exchanged dms, never connected on anything personal, never met. for me to talk down to you i'd have to know you exist
the fact that i find wearing a pair of broken in $60 boat shoes comfortable is not something you should carrying with you as an existential crisis for all these years
what do i need to tell you to get me off your list?
I can't imagine wearing a hat at breakfast but never wearing sneakers on a date seems to be a stranger rule. obv there's a difference between wearing your 4yr old runners & wearing some nice, new fashionable sneakers but....at least where I am, overdressing would be a bigger mistake than going a little more casual idk...perhaps dating where you are is more formal than here. I'
I’ve worn sneakers for the overwhelming majority of dates I’ve been on in my life. That said, for most of my dating life I’ve been a relatively young black guy, so perhaps that makes it more culturally acceptable.
I definitely agree that going more casual is preferable to overdressing.
