      I couldn’t possibly spend a moment with a woman who couldn’t talk with me about historical disasters.

      I held to my values and wanted good things for myself and that’s what I got.

          Major congratulations. I despair seeing so many people who ostensibly want the same things and yet live in constant stress for living up to some imagined image of what’s “normal” or “proper” for a relationship.

          People tend to argue for why they’re lonely so impassionately that you start to realize that loneliness and hopelessness is what they actually want on some level because it’s more comfortable than the challenges of sharing your actual life with someone, and their brains are just inventing stories for why they can’t find a partner who they can be friends with and enjoy things together.

          We have entire industries of scammers on social media pushing videos that serve only to feed this insecurity and avoidance and it’s making everything so much worse. I’m very glad I’m not part of the modern dating world because I’ve known what I’ve wanted since the beginning.

            I know so many people who are in unhappy relationships because they’re following a scrupt.

            I also know a great many who have wiped their arse with it.

            Best thing you can be is yourself, ya got no other fucking choice anyway

    This made me Google Coleen Hoover to find out what she does and I still dont know what she does. Something to do with flowery pastel book covers.

      This has got to be at least a few years out of date. Kanye is on the avoid list, and he’s not really relevant lately. And that income in the finance field isn’t going to impress gold diggers. FNAF is a bit dated at this point too, isn’t it?

        I kind of love that Kanye had that breakdown where he released the Heil Hitler track and went to twitter posting all caps shit saying he was a nazi, and the internet’s collective reaction seems to have just kind of rolled their eyes and move on. Just pure apathy. It’s not shocking or contreversial, more “Yeah, we all figured that out ages ago. Fuck off.”

        My college aged students are still pretty big on FNAF so probably not dated. Ye would be a terrible conversation starter by today’s standards, though, even more so than whenever this was made, lol. “So, how to you feel about Nazi sympathisers?”

    Hum, 75-100k for a finance something isn’t a lot I think. I mean, I know this is a joke but that sounds wrong.

    On a side note, I’d love to talk about with him about all the points under “topic to avoid”!

      I see you also like to poke the bear lol. Seriously with me no topic is off limit I’ll challenge every opinion someone has doesn’t mean I disagree with it.

      Also Boston Celtics are no? Because Boston is racist AF?

        Arguing for the sole purpose of arguing. Are you an engineer by any chance 😅

        I don’t even know what kind of sport the Celtics are a team of. Doesn’t mean I could not at least listen.

          Nope just the ADD.

          Celtics are basketball and my first love of a team before Toronto got The Raptors. That said their fambase is kinda toxic.

      Depends on what in “finance” and where. Assuming not sales or trading the salaries come down quite a bit depending on job level.

    I assumed this was a cheat sheet with the dating profile of someone they were meeting from online dating, but judging by the comments i misinterpreted. Why would someone need a cheat shret with their own name and not know what their own job is?

      My interpretation is that they’re bad at smalltalk and will forget basic facts about themselves. It would fit in with them needing a list of smalltalk topics to choose/avoid…

    Yeah… those old hippies with their “be yourself” and “let it all hang out” - clearly the key to life is to wear a mask. Such enlighten. So fulfillment.

      You can be yourself without a deluge of your own interests flooding the conversation. Unless being yourself of taking only about yourself and no listening. In that case mask on.
