@babaken_0 My last girlfriend had seven dates in seven days and we went out for months. My current girlfriend had been on a few dates with another guy before meeting me. If she likes you, she'll choose you. Just have fun and be yourself and what happens happens.

My dating life became a lot easier the moment I accepted a simple truth: I’m probably not the only man a woman is talking to. Not because I lack value. Not because I’m competing for attention. But because modern dating is exactly that, people exploring options until consistency, trust, and intention naturally separate one person from the rest. I might be her favorite. Sometimes, I may even be the only one. But I stopped assuming exclusivity before it was actually established. And honestly, that mindset alone saved me from a lot of unnecessary disappointment, overthinking, jealousy, and emotional pressure. A lot of people suffer in dating because they create expectations nobody agreed to. They start acting like a relationship exists before one has even been defined. Then they get hurt when reality doesn’t match the fantasy they built in their head. Now, I simply focus on energy, effort, and consistency. If someone values me, it will show naturally over time. I no longer force clarity too early or panic over uncertainty. I stay grounded, enjoy the connection for what it is, and let people reveal their intentions through actions instead of assumptions. Ironically, this mindset brought me more peace, confidence, and emotional control. I stopped chasing reassurance and started paying attention to behavior. I stopped trying to “secure” people and started choosing people who genuinely choose me back. Dating became healthier the moment I understood this: Attachment is fine. Interest is fine. But assumptions? Assumptions ruin everything.

@allie__voss The way these people talk about relationships, they actually have no idea there's another human being involved.

@Marcus_Mosher Problems were definitely with the execution, not the overall ideas

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

@spinningjoe He doesn't miss a workout and he has some weird eating habits to hit his protein, but he'll also go out to whatever restaurant you want.

Even with semi-random matching, some of the matches on swipe apps are genuinely good. Throw enough darts and a few will hit. The problem is that no one can tell which ones. There's no context, no narrative, no reason for either person to take the match more seriously than the next match coming in tomorrow. The good matches end up looking exactly like the bad ones, and most of them never make it to a date.

Free game for people with infants: whenever you hand your baby to a friend or acquaintance who wants to hold him/her and the baby starts crying immediately (and you know it almost always will) pick some super specific grievance you have with that person to explain it.

There are a lot of weird things American homeowners simply accept: - "I'm forced to spend hours maintaining an unproductive front yard instead of being able to use that area for more space or an interior courtyard" - "My house should be the primary way I build wealth" - "I need 2400 square feet" - "I hate 'throwing money away on rent' but I'll spend more on interest than principal for the first 19 years of my 30-year mortgage" - "We need a guest bedroom that's empty 99% of the time" - "It makes perfect sense to pay tens of thousands of dollars in commissions for someone to sell my house" - "I believe in property rights but it should be illegal for me to build on my own property" - "My home renovation is an investment" A lot of people spend more time watching Love is Blind than understanding the biggest purchase of their lives

It's so weird to me how people just see it as normal that I should have to buy a "starter home" hundreds or thousands of miles away from family and play the house flipping game for years/decades just to be able to someday settle down in a small/modest house near my hometown.

I have no problem with befriending a woman if she's interesting. The problem is just that the vast majority of women are completely uninteresting. They have no hobbies or special interests to talk about.
Vivid Void@vividvoid

Men need to learn how to be friends with women who don't want to date them without getting bitter about it. The analog of this is women need to learn to be friends with men without keeping them as potential boyfriends-in-reserve if their current relationship doesn't work out

Incredible news for Minneapolis on multiple fronts. Estimated economic impact: +$200m With hundreds of thousands out-of-staters visiting Minneapolis that week — and 20m more watching on tv — you also have a golden opportunity to change people’s minds about the city.

ESPN sources: The 2028 NFL Draft is expected to be awarded to Minneapolis at this week’s league meeting. The NFL’s fan engagement and major events committees have been working with the city and the Vikings on plans for the 2028 Draft.
