OT: Thread About Nothing (TaN #...lost count)

Guess we'll be seeing more FanDuel commercials.

 

[Saugus]

I see a ton of those FanDuel commercials on Hulu and ESPN+. Seems like they only have 10 or so commercials on endless loop.

I always laugh at those because they offer "risk free for your first bet" and I'm thinking nobody reads the fine print. Because of course the "refund" if you lose is actually site credit, so you'd still be out money.

Youtube's algorithm must have gotten an update.

Definitely a favorite movie of mine when I was 13 or so.

Does @aboriginal still post here? I seem to remember him loving Weird Al also.

My wife loves his parody songs too. Not so much the polkas.

Squeeze played at my college and I was able to meet them briefly as part of the setup. My fraternity did the stage work and roadie help.

You mean they didn't bring their own roadies? I figured they had it in budget.

They had roadies but I'm sure the roadies appreciated some underlings to help with mundane tasks. I recall getting things like tape and moving wires around and such.

I cant believe it. Of all the dating apps out there (Tinder, Bumble etc) the best way to meet women online is through Jodel. Just... incredible.

Tinder has been mostly hookers and bots for a while.

Plenty of Fish if catching chlamydia from a single mom who lives in a trailer behind a Wal-Mart is your thing.

Bumble can still be effective in the right area.

Hinge if you want a wife that makes more than you.

Feeld is a gem if you're a freak.

Blk is the jam if you want an educated black woman who's in to white boys.

Jdate - "sorry, but at least your kids will be Jewish"

There's one for people who graduated from elite schools and one for Hollywood as well but their names escape me. They're both over the top gold digger apps.

The League is the one for elite schools. Just a bunch of status snobbery, and as you said, gold diggers trying to find each other.

Plenty of Fish has a ton of romance scammers too.

My wife's friends (mostly educated professionals) who are still on dating apps generally use Bumble and Hinge. Occasionally Match or eHarmony too.

About halfway through this interview with Rupp. Some interesting tidbits so far, he thought about stepping away from hockey during the 2002-03 season after he was in the first group sent down to the minors.

 

[Bleedred]

I feel like a lot of women (and I'm sure the men are too, I only generalize women because I'm a hetero male and my only experience is with women) are on the dating apps for validation and ego boost and to see how many men are interested in swiping right and if they think they're hot. A lot of them have little intention anyone or even message anyone. I'll admit I've gotten on them just to see who was interested, so I have my own experience with this whole validation thing and an ego boost. I can't even remember ever messaging anybody first.

I let them message me first. Sometimes it's women I'm not interested in, sometimes it's women I'm interested in who show a lot of interest at first and ask me to meet AND blow my shit up until I actually answer them, then they go ghost and it's even happened after definite dates were set. So I don't really f*** with going out and messaging girls on there. If someone really likes me and wants to message me, that's great.

The last Tinder hook up I had (and I haven't had many, I don't even know if I've had two, but like I said, I don't send the first message and I was in an off and on relationship for about 2.5 years up until the beginning of this year and I only dabbled with online dating for a couple years before that) was a girl a few years back that messaged me first after we matched. We sent a few messages, before she fell off the face of the earth and then replied back to my message 6 months later like it was the next day lol. I even made a joke in my reply about how it's ''Been a while''. We hooked up a few times over a 2.5-3 month period. I liked her, but she was more into just having hook ups and not being exclusive, which she was completely honest and up front about, which I appreciated.

You posted at length about your issues with a relationship a few years ago if I recall correctly.

Bumble is your move. They have to reach out first, are aware of that, and you can have a more basic profile leaving things open for discussion as opposed to say an app like match.

The ego boosting and ghosting are just a part of the game, so it goes.

Have a friend who you think has style gague your profile and do your thing homie.

The answer is no to 100% of the questions you don't ask.

That relationship was the one that was on and off for 2.5 years. It ended with significantly more debt (nothing that I can't manage) than I had. It ended with more misery than I ever had AND it ended with more weight than I've had in years. I maintained a 100 pound weight loss for about 6 years, until last year and I gained about 60 pounds of it back in about 1.5 years. The last 35-40 in about 6 months. I first started trying to lose it 6 weeks ago (about 6 weeks tomorrow) and I'm glad to say I'm down 15 pounds since then and hopefully the last 40-45 over the next 5-6 months.

I still love her, but she's no good. She's a bad mother, she's got all kinds of psychological issues, daddy issues, alcohol and other substance abuse issues. We had our issues in 2018 after we first got together, but not much of this was detectable at the time. I actually don't think the substance issues were really prevalent and possibly not happening at all when we first met. There were red flags, but not many clues to anything that started going on with her a year or so later. Once in a while she calls and I mean once in a great while and it's usually when she wants something, even though I read her the riot act at the beginning of this year. If you're not gonna be with me, you will get NOTHING from me. I will not be one of your orbiters that you use to stroke your massive ego. If she were starving (Which she ain't) I might feed her. If she were on fire, I'd definitely put her out, but she will get nothing from me. No money, no gifts, no food, no rides, no babysitting, no nothing and absolutely no friendship, if she's not gonna be with me. I really didn't want any contact at all if she wasn't gonna 100% be with me.

Since I made it perfectly clear what I wanted back in February of this year, I've changed my stance a little bit. The door is no longer open to even be with me at all. I would never take her back, I don't want to be her friend now or in the future, I wish her well and that's it. Once in a very great while I'll get a ''No Caller Id'' call either on my missed calls or while I hear it go off. And I always know who it is. I don't even have her blocked, which I don't even know if she has a phone anymore. I took her off mine in the Spring of 2020 when we really actually broke up and she moved out.

I have to worry about myself. My mental health was suffering, my physical health was suffering. I wasn't even posting on here all that much and as some may have noticed, between the hockey season starting up again and just being in a better place I've been way more active on here. I work 7 days a week (not long full hours for 2-3 of those days) and I don't have time for bullshit anymore. I really f***ed my health mentally and physically. I was terribly depressed at least from early 2020 (possibly earlier than that) through just recently. And it went from a sad type of depression in 2020 to just a really ''I don't give a f*** about taking care of myself anymore, but I'm not really sad anymore.'' by 2021.

Yeah dog, didn't mean to trigger anything.

Self-care is a pretty solid way towards goals romantic or otherwise.

I cant believe it. Of all the dating apps out there (Tinder, Bumble etc) the best way to meet women online is through Jodel. Just... incredible.

I met my wife through Coffee Meets Bagel. If you want an actual relationship instead of "let's hook up and see what happens," it's as good as it gets. My previous relationship was found via Tinder, but that was on one of the few times I actually used the damn thing.

I don't miss the dating app life at all. Lots of throwing yourself out there, failing a lot, and first dates that are more like job interviews than actual dates. Find yourself a warm body and don't let go.
