I don't know where not kink shaming comes from, some kinks deserve shame. Be safe.

The landfill bit strikes me as unlikely. Almost nothing on butchered animals goes to waste these days, getting rendered into glue seems more likely a date than landfill in my mind. I am open to the possibility im wrong, but would take a lot of evidence.

WOW

Took me a while to look at her name. Bravo though.

You MONSTER!

This post is making me so beyond grateful that I never had to do online dating, and never ever will, I’d rather die a lonely old spinster than do online dating.

This seemed to elude to the demand for leather slowing and the supply staying the same. We export way more than import. There is a PDF linked in there that shows where their information stems from. I will say I didnt read all of the PDF not sure if I got tired or bored reading it, haha. https://usleather.org/news-events/if-we-stopped-using-leather-would-fewer-cattle-be-reared

Unrealistic? It's almost literally the General Motors streetcar conspiracy!

They could have put “based on real events” right in the credits if they wanted to, except in the real world the conspiracy succeeded, of course.

You dodged a bullet.

That's very selfish of you

I have no social media and that's a red flag apparently

I unmatched a woman IRL face-to-face because she told me (in one unbroken monologue) that she slept with a co-worker in Sydney while she was visiting a regional office and that she attends SLAA meetings and that was her first slip in 3 months and that she's also a psychic medium and she's building a website to list her mediumship services, and she is obsessed with marvel movies. Then she asked me to go get a coffee with her

No one part of this is too much of a red flag, but all of it together, and she knows I'm good with tech and can build a website with my eyes closed, I probably would have ended up doing a bunch of web work for free. Plus I really don't think that medium people are talking with the dead, at best it's a hallucination or a lie, at worst it's a trickster entity that should not be interacted with under any circumstance.

So I just peaced out and I feel like I made a good choice.

lol that's so stupid.

And the Myers-Briggs isn't even a good one. Those two ladies just made it the fuck up during World War 2, based on some Carl Jung book. It has no predictive power.

Pretty judgemental for a P.

Username checks out

She told me that her favorite comedian was Jeff Dunham and that she didn’t like reading.

Eh, Nest is just another locked-in your-data-is-ours system. I think Home Assistant is the self-host thing?

Why did you text her so much when she said that off the bat? Also texting someone at 3am?

Well it's not that bad xD of course this post is about the bad side of online dating

You are my hero

I have gotten hit with that one too!

Depends on moods, and also, many people have issues at making the difference between what someone is and what they'd like to be. Like many people want to be helpful, but not many are helpful outside their own social circle. (Which is fine, but not the same as being helpful towards everyone.)

Because I was in the Navy at the time. Not wanting to date someone in the military isn't a bad thing, I get that. But I talked about it in my profile and had several pictures of me on the ship in uniform. Then weird part was that when we met for our first date and it came up in conversation she acted like I had kept it secret. Really fucking weird.

While I agree those ladies were a bunch of loonies, I don't think the test is supposed to be predictive (this is how you will be), rather descriptive (this is how you are).

Although I've had this same argument with people over the function of dictionaries being descriptive (this is how words are used) rather than prescriptive (this is how you should use words).

I also hate it when people say the same thing twice in a row.

So I just peaced out

Lol. I'm curious how that conversation went

I don't think this is comparable to descriptivism and prescriptivism in linguistics.

The predictive power of a classification doesn't have anything to do chronological order of what you are now and how you will develop, but about if knowing one thing (the MBTI) allows to deduce another (age, socioeconomic status, interests, vocational suitability, whatever). In other words predictive power is about correlations and testable outcomes.

If a psychological test leads to a result that does not predict other statistical values about a person, it does not actually capture anything that person is, at least nothing that's verifiable or falsifiable.

And if it's not verifiable or falsifiable we might as well use zodiac signs.

Yeah this is legit a thing cheaters do apparently. I just don't want patients finding my favorite cafe in my likes ok 😭 honestly sometimes my husband pisses me tf off but at least I'm not rummaging in the mystery grab bag anymore.

Shit, this girl worked at a police station and got upset, nearly canceled our meetup because I had no criminal record.

When we met up, she refused to go get food or drinks. Instead, she took me to a secluded park and let me know she was carrying two guns.

I said a shootout was a weird first date activity and I would have rather gone bowling. She took me back to the hotel, but offered to get me Taco Bell on the way back.

She then wouldn't respond the next day, which the entire point of the trip was to go to a museum I wanted to see.

It was my birthday trip and she just happened to be along the route. I went to the museum alone and had a blast.

It's pretty cringy and gross. And I'm a guy on Lemmy saying that

Internet is a hostile enough place that not having a social media presence is a valid lifestyle. Like, I don't want to be assumed as a cheater just cause I'm trying to preserve my sanity😭.

I just blocked them too

You don't have to put yourself down to argue that love at first sight is daft

I'm so glad I got married before the dating apps became the norm.

You dodged two bullets there. 1 was a person who doesn't understand metaphors or allegories, 2 was a person with no sense of sarcasm or humor.

Well they did say they were a potato.

She works for the DHS?

Maybe they've run into too many people looking for citizenship via marriage.

Well she showed what personality type she is, unstable.

I bought some healthy coca based cereal (the kind that is priced like steak) but my wife likes Cpt Crunch peanut butter cereal. So I make a 50-50 mix of the two and get a peanut butter cup type result that is slightly healthier. :D

Same here.

Unfortunately, on dating apps, it kinda is. Lots of people who are looking cheat claim they’re “not into social media” because if they shared their social media, you’d see their partner. It’s BS and unfair, but I can see how people get there.

Those Laibach passports are great for this tbh.

LOL! well done

I, too, am mad that I can’t date Jessica Rabbit

One time I matched with someone on tinder and they just messaged me “I love you!”

Oral sex is objectively superior to penetrative sex in several ways and I’m tired of pretending it’s not, tbh

"She took me back to the hotel" could mean two wildly different outcomes. I can't tell if you mean she ended the date immediately or you two had sex in a hotel and then she ghosted you.

Though either way, her deciding on her own that she didn't want anything to do with you was a bullet dodge, considering she not only used police resources to try to look you up but even scolded you about it, making it clear she either didn't think there was any problem with it or didn't think she'd face any consequences.

Psychic medium is a huge red flag. They're the worst kind of grifter, preying on the bereaved and desperate.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

Hmm, I see what you're putting down. I may have to revise my thoughts on the matter. Thanks.
