Eeeeh…. the old idealist in me wants to agree with you but the experienced realist I’ve become says “keep dreaming”. Young women are basically spoiled brats, almost without exception. They’re not necessarily bad people but anyone hoping to find one with actual maturity might as well look for...

Ohh I just checked and saw that it’s an old thread from 2017. I keep getting caught out by that on here!

Taken for granted.

Hi “A” :) nice to meet you. I saw your introduction post but didn’t reply because it was just so much to take in and I wouldn’t know where to start! Sounds like you’ve really been through the mill.

Hi Adrian. I’ll admit I know nothing about SE Asia. I thought Kuala Lumpur was the name of those little orange men in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But it’s nice to meet you regardless! Your English seems excellent, did you live in any English speaking countries on your travels?

All the time.

It’s a growing problem. Wish I could live long enough to see what society will do when the incels reach critical mass. Then again, maybe it’s a blessing that I won’t!

I just saw that mgill hasn’t posted since July 🤦🏻‍♂️ I really should pay more attention to the dates in here. It’s… not very active!

@mgill I’ve seen a bunch of your posts now, in various threads. I know your pain. I recognise it with unpleasant familiarity, and I recognise also the path you’re on and the emotions you’re going through. Lets assume for the sake of argument that you are indeed short, bald, and objectively...

I’ve been faced with that decision several times and I always chose to go it alone. It was always painful and sometimes damaging but that’s the choice I made, every time. I can’t put my hand on my heart and say it was the right or wrong choice. Even with hindsight it’s hard to say.

I heard about this from many matches when I tried online dating. It’s baffling but also quite interesting? It predates online dating by a long way. Before the internet, some men used to “flash” women in the street. It was illegal (still is, presumably) but some men apparently were so compelled...

There’s some sound advice buried in there somewhere but it’s clouded. You can be the right man and still end up with the wrong women.

The problem with asking women questions like this is they will skip the stuff they consider “obvious”. Like, if you ask someone what sort of food they like, they generally won’t say “the kind that isn’t poisonous” because they think that’s just a given and doesn’t need stating. The stuff that...

Yeah, I’m not seeing a ton of activity. Ah well, thanks anyway for the welcome.

As others have pointed out, a 1 to 10 scale is kind of meaningless. For me it’s been several years since I felt anything that I could call “happiness”. But I’m not excessively sad either. I would describe the way I’ve felt for the last few years as “numb” or “indifferent”. When you realise there...

Have you ever actually called a crisis line? They’re a complete waste of time.

75 push-ups? Bloody hell!!! You can’t be that unfit if you did 75 on your first try!

What ho fellow Brit! (Don’t tell the Americans that we never actually say that) I’m new here too so I won’t say “welcome to the forum” as that would be weird, but it’s nice to meet you.

Thanks for the welcome :) And people needn’t have things in common, I think, to get along? I sure hope so or I’m screwed 😂
