  1. 💯 Well, at least I would qualify there. 😘
  2. I used to enjoy the Meet up website. I used it a lot when I moved to Chicago sans any friends. I attended groups for backpacking, board gamers, skeptics, art lovers etc. Granted it was mostly nerdy guys but not exclusively and it gave me a sense of community. I even reconnected with a former co-worker at a Texas-Ex events, and now she's my ex. I watched sports in bars, went to the Viagra triangle for food and beverage, worked out regularly. That was nearly 20 years ago now... Today, young (for me) women (25-35) do look for older men. I've found that typically 3 things drive the ones Ive met. 1) Look for a sugar daddy or baby daddy. Those 2 are not necessarily different. 2) Looking for an actual provider/protector who knows how to organize a fun and interesting evening, has a wide range of interests, is kind, isn't stupid and "is emotionally mature". 3) Women with daddy issues. This can be coupled with item 1 but not always. 4) Looking for free shit. There are a goodly number that want to be taken out by a decent looking guy to nice places and spoiled a bit. Doesn't fall into 1 because they have zero interest in intimacy or real connection. "So, you pervert why not date age appropriate women?" you ask. Well, they fall into the following. 1) Look for a sugar daddy or baby daddy. Those 2 are not necessarily different (yep) 2) Looking for free shit. There are a goodly number that want to be taken out by a decent looking guy to nice places and spoiled a bit. Doesn't fall into 1 because they have zero interest in intimacy or real connection. 3) Want a 6'+ guy ONLY (seriously) They won't even talk to a guy under. 4) A - Looking for a MAGA man B - Looking for hard-core Liberal (I'm not being funny. It's like their profiles are recruiting tools for those parties. Its the FIRST thing in their profile. Then several talking points to the parties come after don't be X or Y) 5) Looking for a provider. Not 1. These are women who, in their 40s-50s have kids out the house, often have their own homes, but want to get married, move in together and live happily ever after and never work again. Some of these dates are like fucking job interviews. Seriously. 6) Complete messes. From no cars, to no jobs and drug addictions. Because I dont do drugs, I've had a LOT of women decline to even go on a first date because me not drinking would make them "uncomfortable"
  3. Yeah I've no clue how the US administration will ultimately respond to those requests because reasons, but Israel done ghosted and blocked Ali on their phones.
  4. Dude, Iran has openly made it clear for decades that complete annihilation of Israel is their goal. They've made every effort to do so. Whether or not they would use nukes against Israel is open for debate but their ultimate plans are not. I for one, care more about the threat to the US and other western countries should a caliphate regime deeply in bed with terrorist gain access to nukes.
  5. There is an entire fucking thread for discussion on whether or not Iran complied with the nuclear treaty. Please take those discussion to that thread.
  6. Meh.. eye of the beholder I guess. Still wood
  7. Well, if you ever get a chance, do a float spin/fly trip on the Black, Snake or Taylor. If you're significant other enjoys outdoor adventure it would not suck to just ride along and camp.
  8. Sure, I'm happy for you, but when was the last time you made squirrel stew from your own culling. That's what I thought city slicker!
  9. What do you think is my real motivation for a snow ski trip to Terhan when a trip to the Rockies is 1/10th the cost?
  10. Don't disagree at all, but they may well do that anyway. It's a pick your poison sort of deal in my opinion. Topple the Iranian regime permanently, helping those people hopefully find non-caliphate rule, fully dismantling their Uranium program or kicking the Iran Nuclear can down the road.... again. I know which option I prefer.
  11. I certainly think that is probably an aspect, I suspect, given historicals, a proposal may have been put forth to the current regime of Iran. A typical quid pro quo of our current administration. Give the US x% of oil rights, stop Uranium program, or the US helps Israel. I also suspect Iran says get bent to said offer and they end up the ones suffering without lube. Edit - and I'll admit I much prefer the latter. Which is to say I pretty much agree with @Bateshorn
  12. Hah! Do I seem worried?
  13. I personally enjoy a food, poker, shows and shopping trip to Vegas as I do a fly float trip to Colorado or Idaho, but I'd take a long weekend doing the BMW racing school in South Carolina or a ski trip to France just as quickly. My question is, why not both tacos?
  14. First agree with baboso. Don't fish much anymore due to time constraints, but miss it. @Brian Fantana What sort of fishing did you partake in? I'm asking as some there are wildly different experiences. Fly fishing trout in waders is vastly different that fly fishing trout on a float in Colorado. Neither is the same as spin or fly fishing trout or reds in the gulf. All of which are still different than trolling for sand bass, deep sea and certainly from bobber fishing at Lake Ray Hubbard. Some are incredible Zen, some super thrilling and some just meditation on relaxing.
  15. Reuters reporting Iran launched another attack this AM and is now saying they are going to flip the bird to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Of course, Iran still maintains the bullshit that they don't want bombs, just depleted Uranium for "science" I guess. With G7 and the US air movement, I speculate the big moves by US and Israel against Iran may happen by/before mid-week. Reuters Pay Link
  16. Can I ask where you're "hearing" or seeing these rumors? Mainly because I've not seen that anywhere, not talking shit.
  17. Not if I find them first according to both social media and some respectable research. Allegedly.
  18. Agreed. However he could also be reading the tea leaves like I am. I really think Israel was all in before the first missile launched. Both is how I view it.
  19. I was curious and did some sluthing on Georgia. She's cute and seems rude but holy shit is her social media a beating. I can't get into it cause NO CR, but it's pretty much in lock step with the cadence of aggie and corp turds.
  20. Well, I don't have children as I would have absolutely ended up raising a sociopath, but my normal sister and BIL have Gen Z twins (male and female) The female has had 2 substantial long term relationships, both reasonable, hard working, kind, sociable and attractive young men. The current is a about 3 years older and has a very solid job at a company with great career path which I once worked for as well. She's finishing her pediatric nursing degree next year. My nephew is on spectrum and is finishing his MSBA part time while working at a major. He and I don't discuss personal matters a lot, but I know he'd like to find someone. I also know he's extremely fiscally responsible and career driven all while being particular about who he enjoys engaging. So.. that's going to be a work in progress for a while I'm guessing. So, broadly speaking, they're both whooping my ass in different aspects of life.
  21. Iran appears, like Israel to have zero interest in discussing a cease fire. Neither side of that surprises me even a little. Reuters Link
  22. I personally would happily settle for a population free of decades long caliphate and tyrannical leadership. Yes, I too appreciate a perfect world, but I'll settle for a happy medium.
  23. And so we are all clear, ALL of Gen X is completely fucked up. We just don't give a shit.
  24. Treat women like humans, approach them as humans, be kind, ask questions and listen. Believe in yourself and be respectful.
  25. That happens to men as well. Don't make this a purely misogynistic issue because it fucking isn't. That's a progressive mindset looking at a complex problem hoping for a simple answer. There are lots of factors involved.
