The surprising thing is that most people I’ve dated have been no more than 6 months older than me or even a year younger. But you are probably right. Sometimes I feel like I might just be stuck waiting until I’m closer to 30 because then I might find someone a year or two younger than me (like I tend to go after) but…

I think I’m more excited about them bringing back the custom wallpaper feature from the PS3. This should have been a launch feature. Unbelievable that it took so long.

I think the idea is that you can still go wider in terms of hand placement if you want to work your pecs more, but you still don’t want your elbows flaring out sideways from your body (if that makes sense).

This may be somewhat unrelated, but I’ve also noticed (around the same time this UI issue started occurring for me) that GTA Online will sometimes randomly lock up (screen totally freezes) from anywhere between 1-7 seconds. Anyone else experiencing this?

I mean if we can get JC then I hope we can get the rest of *NSYNC involved as well.

Hell, let’s get all the late 90's boy bands involved. They could help us spread the idea of loving each other.

I just want to walk into a Gamestop now saying, “TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!”

Thanks, all of that was really helpful! I’ll definitely try to take it into consideration. The age thing is kind of a catch 22 for me, because I know I typically go after people a year or two younger than me, but I know that someone a couple years older is more likely to be looking for what I want in a relationship.…

I appreciate the feedback! I have been working toward being more open-minded about the part regarding feeling a connection (or lack there of) with people online. I also used to have a tendency years ago to be somewhat neurotic and pick small things apart in the long run, but I feel that’s something I’ve gotten under…

Perhaps someone here can offer me some advice. I feel like I’m doing everything right that I can, and yet I just don’t seem to get many matches/likes/messages on Tinder, Bumble, etc.

Some info about me:

Appropriate song from a great singer/songwriter named Brendan James. Check him out! Met him at a gig (and did the merch table for him) and he’s one of the nicest musicians I’ve ever met.

I’m not married. But that aside, no, it never happened. And it’s not a control thing. I met my daughter’s mother before my daughter was born (naturally) so her name in my mind was ingrained as the primary reference to her. Again, the only time I referred to her as “mom” or “mommy” was if I was speaking to my daughter…

I have a daughter. And I refer to her mother by her name, which is who she is in relation to me. She’s not my mom. She’s my daughter’s mom. It simply isn’t logical to call her that, unless I’m talking to my daughter about her mom. But I wouldn’t use “mom” when addressing my daughter’s mother.

Because it’s like calling your son brother because he’s your daughter’s brother. He’s not your brother. He’s your son. Your spouse isn’t your mom or dad, they’re your spouse.

Good God, who turned on the cell shading / Predator vision on this video?

I’ve been trying to figure that out, because it’s not like I’m aware of these things when I first meet the person; they come out months later. I’m definitely putting thought into why I keep picking similar people though, even if it is a subconscious act. Doing what I can, I guess. Thanks for the words of advice!

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about opening up on a first, second, or third date. I’m talking about being with someone for close to a year, moving in together, and that person still won’t even talk to you about something that’s stressing them.

I feel you. And I’m definitely not looking for super model looks. In fact, I really have a preference against what most people consider conventionally “beautiful” or “pretty” in a woman. I’m very different from most guys I know in that regard. It’s difficult to describe.

Thank you. I needed to hear (or read) that.

26 year-old guy over here but same issue. I get a lot of “You’re too picky” and “Lower your standards” and that kind of stuff from a few friends. It’s like... sorry I’d prefer to date someone who is respectful, kind, and has their personal and professional life in order (within reason of course, we all have our stuff,…
