Reflecting on my adolescence, being exposed at a young age to people from different viewpoints who debated issues passionately, but then could still be friends and part of a forum community, was a formative experience. I'm grateful for those years.


The interactions and arguments I've had on the sequential iterations of DDO have been beneficial for me too. I might make a post about its impact someday. I love this community. I think about it everyday

Determine what your short-term and long-term goals are.: Casual, long-term, short-term. Dating to marry?
Figure those out before deciding anything.

What are your religious beliefs? Your politics, your values, morals or ethics?

For committed relationships, you find women who share these things in common with you. Catholics marry catholics, muslims marry muslims.
Don't you see how many problems arise when two people of different belief systems get together? Avoid that.

Secondly, you will need to determine what your hobbies, likes, and dislikes are. Your favorite music, movies.
These are the things you will bond over.

Don't pay for dating sites. Sign-up for them, but you can still find plenty of dates if you use it for free.


Hey, good to hear from you👍. I was watching a video recently about a professor on a podcast, and he said that marriages are successful when there is a third thing that bonds the two people together. Usually this is the children, which is why chance of divorce increases after 25 years because that is about the time the kids have grown up and left.


Oh well, she'll have to enjoy piano music, as I will be playing in the house. (She'll get to enjoy my piano music, lol. )Maybe I'll have a parkour girlfriend? Gotta find the shared interests

Just noticed that the number of forum posts doesn't get updated.

And I've also recently noticed that I don't get notifications for every reply.

Do we know why this is?


I just noticed this too. Debby's been talking and I'm missing out on her replies 😔

Most healthy women are beautiful.


If people could only realize that looks is directly related with health. If health is prioritized, good-looking features follow. It seems average person focuses way too much on supplementary items like pills, skincare products, counting calories. Waste of money and shows lack of knowledge. None of those things fix the root cause that the product is designed to alleviate. Why do people submit to the magic, mysterious and alluring traveling salesman with his carriage of potions and cream that is modern Big Pharma?

OHHHHHH Skip...And they were just about to promote you to head of meat and veg, with a pay increase.


I held my fist and walked away with it.


Coincidentally, I had a dream last night about being fired from Walmart. Something about my personal life taking too much time away for work. There was a fire at my fictional house for some reason too. #notmyhypotheticalworld

My updated thoughts are that relationships aren't worth it. I realized being alone builds brain while being in relationship makes person too busy to think.


I think relationships are important for development in intellect and self-control and other cylinders of human practice and features

Overall appearance relative to socio-psychologically established standards.

I personally prefer arses to asses though I do find donkey's appealing, and I also enjoy pert arses and pert breasts...Whereas tatties is what a Scotsman or woman or other, might refer to when discussing potatoes.

Race and colour proffer exciting opportunities...Quirky features too, but not downright ugly...Fit as in toned and healthy...But as the saying goes, you don't look at the mantelpiece when you're stoking the fire...Whereas from the other side of the room do you really want your pals to see a mingging mantelpiece.


I assume she'll be white, probably with the same eye color as my family because I think green or blue eyes are the coolest, and I want to keep that trait for my children. I think she'll be above-average in attractiveness which means above 5/10. Being above standard is easier now than ever because of the depreciation of health and quality lifestyle, ironic as it is.


I think my friends will think she is attractive too because I look for markers of attractiveness, especially in the face, that demonstrate objective good health--so, attractive by nature. This probably comes from being influenced by the Looksmaxxing community.


One especial quality that my ideal wife would have is an amazing nose. Whenever I have been awestruck by the beauty of a woman, she always has an exceptional nose, at least to my point of view. Take Chloe Grace Moretz for example. She is very beautiful but much more so due to having a top tier nose. For some reason I fixate on that part of the body when gauging a woman's attractiveness. For reference, she is the only person I have had a "celebrity crush" on in high school. Though that didn't last long because I always thought having a celebrity crush was a strange phenomenon

I’m thinking hard about the new iPhone Duo as a convenient technology to combine my desire for both a phone and tablet. Though a purchase for the Duo would be sometime next year at the earliest

I am texting on my iPad right now. But I will be looking into a replacement for the device because it no longer is supported by Apple for the newest iPadOS updates. I will probably give it to a family member. I usually text on my pc

Biggest issue of Roblox is all the scammers there. Bullying used to be a big issue too until they disabled chat. Apparently all social games eventually degrade into bullying when there is chat available.


I am experiencing this in Arc Raiders, which I got recently. Proximity chat heightens the bullying experience. My goal is to be better at the game then the bullies and take their loot

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor (the opening scene where Talion's entire family gets killed in front of him.


This scene made me hate the Orcs, but I was not filled with any sad emotion. I always feel justified in exploding their heads now

How I perceive my Date through my vision is important to me. Insight from friends is helpful when guiding through relationships, though I like to think I know better than most of my friends about most things. Advice I take from others typically comes from older people because I trust them more.

Yes indeed, he leans towards serious positions, whereas reconstituted cheesy potato snacks are the ultimate acheivment of Zen enlightenment.


Us Americans call them "Cheezy Dibbles."

"pretend" to be a tarot reader? Don't sell short your witchcraft abilities!


But you are concerned with the ethics of this business?
