I have been on the extreme end of this. I had a friend temporarily rent the downstairs of my house when she moved back to town. Just for a couple of months while she found a house and a job. We had always talked on the phone a lot and that turned into late night convos on the couch. It was only a week before we made…

The trigger that makes me finish has always been broken. Sometimes it takes Jedi mind tricks to make it happen. It has nothing to do with attraction to my partner...it is just wiring. I do what it takes or live a miserable existence. The good news: many times it works to fantasize about my partner, but doing something…

I feel like we are in a golden age of horsepower. Thanks engineers!

I have a car with 550 horespower, but that doesn't get me closer to knowing what 707 hp feels like. Then again, the Hellcat is a 1,000 pounds heavier.

Yes! Online dating is a great tool for the shy introvert. If I am lucky, maybe I will find another shy introvert online, because there is no possible way she and I would be in the same place at the same time in the real world. You know, because we would have been home watching Mad Men rather than feeling odd in a loud…

I am new to online dating (newly single after a long relationship) so my experience is based on a tiny set of data. Having said that, the only successful dates I have had were with women who contacted me first. I talked to a lot of women online and only found seven I wanted to meet. I wasn't interested in a second…

Oh, thanks for the reminder! I heard that was a great book and forgot about it before taking he time to buy it.

Who knows. I imagine some of the people involved will want to keep going as long as the money is coming in. It wouldn't be the same without Vin Diesel but his absence might not kill the franchise. Many wanted it to end now that Walker is gone but they will probably forget that if the next couple of movies are…

But he wasn't always a factory driver. He worked his way up. The human struggle for the American Dream! :-)

These movies are a lot of fun but I thought they were already getting too big and silly. I thought it was ok because they seemed sort of self-aware that this was just crazy car fun. Now, however, it looks like they might have gone too far over the line. I just can't imagine those scenes being woven into a movie that…

The Nissan commercial was dumb? You, sir, have no heart. Heh. Working-class race car dad risking his life to support his family. Mother dealing with the fear. Son almost losing his father. How could you not get the feels???

I am 46 and have dated only a handful of women. I feel like luck placed some great people in my path and I have dealt with almost zero relationship drama.

Yeah, I order online. Best thing ever. Address and payment info is saved so it is just a few clicks to order. I order when I am working a lot of hours and love that it is so fast and convenient. I can order from other places but don't want to call and talk to a human.

He is affecting some people - people like me who work in marketing. If someone started a social media campaign, no matter how flaccid, targeting one of my clients, my phone would ring. I would need to call people. We would probably need to meet and discuss things. Maybe over a weekend. One of the things we would…

In all seriousness:

I think anyone would be pissed if they got a flat, were given incorrect info and then had to wait two hours for a tow.

Holy cow, I had no idea that many cars come without spares these days. I don't look at or buy new cars and haven't read about the lack of spares enough times for it to stick in my head, I guess.

Hit me up if you do - we will go for a drive. Not sure how to touch base other than on this thread. I wish they had messaging here. Ah yes, the pawn shop. I drive past it and see the line all the time.

Anti-depresents and/or social anxiety meds do the same to me (male, here). Adderall also makes me choose between focus and erections. Sooooo, I imagine there about a bazillion men routinely dealing with these issues.

Sweet! I wish we had Peugeot.
