In a small town, it's cheaper to go horizontal. Maybe in SF it makes sense to go vertical but not in a place where land is cheap.

One of my friends at work is like this. He just keeps tripping over and finding women. He's been at work just this year and has been involved with nearly every available woman (and some that aren't), he plays football on the weeke

You definitely can't talk someone into having life-changing experiences. In the space of two years I went through: 1) Wife cheating on me 2) Divorce after a year of attempting to make it work 3) A clinically diagnosed major depressive

I get where you are coming from but attraction is still a thing. I'm a guy and for me, physical attraction is a minimum standard that loses value after the minimum is met. Once someone reaches the standards for the physical attraction

They never see the dad bod as a sexual thing, it's more a symbol of other traits that the man brings to a relationship. Traits that are very important to a woman looking to start a family. The 'hot body' will still be their s

When I say appropriate I mean "an age range which will likely result in swipes from them too". I'm not what a lot of 23 year olds want but I'm fairly desirable for a 29 year old. On top of that I don't have anything

Men don't have the same time pressure to start a family with many starting at 45+. The other thing is men often become more attractive to women as they age due to things like financial success while the same can't be said for wome

Mainly dating apps. I live in a very large city and I keep my age filters somewhat appropriate (27-35). If you struggle with dating apps I'd recommend getting decent photos, even if you need to pay a photographer and spend a day taking

I'm 33 and male, I find it amazing how the dating balance has shifted since I was 23. If I wanted I could easily line up multiple dates per week with women who I'd date. When I was younger a lot of women wouldn't give me the

I'm currently halfway through a period where I miss a lot of life as I'm studying while working full time. My time commitments make it very difficult for me to do many activities, I'm often too tired anyway and I really canno

I see this trend with online dating. About 90% of the women I meet online have a huge level of exposed information. After exchanging only a few messages with someone I typically know enough about them to find their LinkedIn, Facebook, Insta

I prefaced my statement with "from memory", that's exactly how I remember it. The rating system, which worked really well, had some controversy and Netflix scrapped it for a horrible one at the time of the controversy.

What did their behaviour actually look like at the bachelorette night? A bunch of drunk people acting horrible and then playing the victim isn't anything new. Bachelors and bachelorettes having one last night of sexual debauchery isn&#

I find these things very hard to read since they're typically written from only one perspective and usually written to make a point. It always leaves me unsure which side to take.

From my memory Netflix used to have a fairly decent rating system but then some female comedian had her Netflix special heavily voted against due to some gender issues and Netflix scrapped their rating system. It's been horrible ever s

I see people have downvoted your comment but I sort of agree with the sentiment. I grew up in a rural town to working-class parents who hated me spending time on computers and wanted me to get a trade. I'm now 33 and halfway to my CS d

My math professors would teach maths under the presumption we knew mathematical notation. I felt I got thrown in the deep in during first-year calculus units but I also now feel strangely adept at reading maths so it had a positive effect.

Funnily enough, I've been working on my transition to a CS career while my kids are in that age bracket. I work full time in the military and study CS, as a single parent, while my kids are 5 and 3 (I started when they were 3 and 1). I

I'm not aiming for the top. I'm aiming for a good position on an alternate path. My 6-year goal is to have my own company that I work for full time, and my 10-year goal is to have a few employees. I don't want to build a tech

Anecdotally, I've been in the Army close to 10 years now and I cannot recall the last time I heard yelling in a non-jovial or non-combat manner. I've also had multiple experiences where people were stunned after I how I reacted in

I wasn't attempting to race bait. I was mentioning that this is a hard issue to discuss in a lot of circles due to historical reasons. A lot of people hear race when you say "there are differences in intelligence and some part of

I really love difficult technical problems but luckily I'm still a CS student and have time for that. One thing I've been realising more and more is that if I want to make a good living working for myself the real problem is selli

Who needs two drivers when the trucks are self driving and can operate safely 24 hours per day?

But that is getting dangerously close to implying that different humans have different potential intelligence, and that's a very politically dangerous path to go down. The racial history of the US seems to make it a specially sensitive

I coasted through high school, I wouldn't do homework or study and I'd just rush through work so I could muck around. Despite this I had amazing grades, I was placed first of 350 in my year in maths and was voted most likely to su

I dislike open book exams so much that I took nothing into my last one. It was a unit without much memorisation that focused much more heavily on applying concepts, and I feel that having it as open book was a trap for ill-prepared students
