One thing I’m realizing from dating discourse on here is a lot of people seem very lacking in friend groups. Sports, volunteering, hobbies, whatever, do more stuff. More friends means more opportunities to meet potential dating prospects. And it can be very simple:
it's psychologically fascinating. the skeleton key to understanding (and seeing past) 90% of transatlantic food wars is to understand that americans fundamentally view the act of cooking as being about the culmination of individually optimised processes, as opposed to starting...
americans see english food and ask why it isn't an entirely different dish with a different flavour profile and different method of creation. very strange
easiest to understand thread ever "normies largely see hobbies and art as purely instrumental tools for socializing, rather than as ends in and of themselves" which is obviously true and hit dogs are holler in the quotes about how min is Weird for saying "socializing is le bad"
It's because they're Normies, and therefore prioritize Socializing over anything else. It couldn't have been abandoned after 2020, because COVID forced all normies to curb their IRL socializing, driving them into subcultural hobby burrows to do it instead, like an infestation.
Today marks ten years since Jo was killed.
We remember Jo as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend, campaigner and public servant. We remember her courage, her compassion, and her belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.

Okay I will. You only ask out women, or anyone for that matter, in a way that makes it clear they can turn you down with zero consequences. Someone who looked up your number and address in a way they’re not supposed to is absolutely not doing that.
I want everyone condemning the guy to spell out exactly when and how it is OK for men to ask women out. I guarantee a lot of you have an implicit "only swiping apps" rule and don't even know it because the other avenues all closed piecemeal.
that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt
BBC: “What was your screen time?”

In 1996, Nintendo was seemingly very fond of a single particular stock photo of the sky, so that it ended up on the cartridge artwork of three different games released in that year: Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Pilotwings 64.
Yeah, you're going to have people who think you are weird, but that's just life. If your goal is trying to placate everyone's perception of you, you won't win. Simple victories come in just being consistent, introspection, and taking marginal steps. Some people will always judge.
my life was exactly the opposite of this, i never got to go to school past fourth grade so my entire life i have had to go out of my way to socialize and make friends. it’s really easy once you make the first few friends you start making them by the bucketful. it’s a blessing.
Gen Z realizing one of the biggest shocks after college is that life no longer happens around you.
In school, friends, events, relationships, and opportunities are built into your environment.
As an adult, if you don't actively create a social life, weeks can turn into months surprisingly fast.
The best friend an autist can have is the one who kindly-but-firmly says "hey man, you're making people uncomfortable" followed by clearly explaining what it is you're doing.
