Well, she's already mentioned wine a few times, so I'm taking that as a hint.
I'm not big on trying to overdo it, I'm a pretty simple guy. Was just looking to have a relaxing evening by the lake and do some grilling. I usually let the vibe decide the outcome rather than have expectations / plans going in. I like to think I'm pretty mature for my age, but that might just be wishful thinking. Like previously mentioned, I was trying to be a bit spontaneous, so I asked her if she has a mask? She responds "no, why?" and I say "I'm tired of being locked up / I have an idea" she bites... but backs off saying "she's busy cleaning... grading papers from finals etc..." Goes on to say how she hasn't left her place since March and is going stir crazy. I take this as an indicator and message her back a bit later saying "finish up your work tonight and let's do something tomorrow / you need to get out too." She says OK, but doesn't think it's safe to be out. I tell her don't worry it's a semi safe adventure and I have an extra mask for you. So we're here right now... she's game I think. |

You guys are the bomb. Really. Thanks for thinking of me.
Back in early April I back-burner-ed the search for new work, since budgets were in turmoil and nobody's ready to put ink on a contract, and decided to take a break and get some stuff done at the cabin. Replaced the heaved-up concrete floor in the main space (24' x 38'); once it's cured I'll have to move everything back in and set the hoist up. In the meantime I'm working on a new terraced wall on the lake side of the cabin. Put a new kiuas in the sauna and re-flashed the chimney. Been "off the grid" for the most part, so that it actually felt like a break and not just a change of venue. Smoking and grilling lots of meat, and hanging out wih my mom, who's 80. She's been up at the cabin with me most of the time. I ended up landing a couple of contracts (good thing I checked email and snail-mail once in a while!) that'll launch over the next couple of months. Looking forward to rolling up the sleeves on them. I'll miss the physical/tactile work I've done over the last month or so, but it's time to get my business back underway. Not much new, cars-wise. Haven't driven the driven the toys because the roads are still a little salty and they're stashed away to make room for the floor work in the shed. Cats are a little stuffed-up on my F15 N63tu and throwing a CEL, likely from running Boostane, so I'm pondering what to do about that. Switched to burning 110-octane Shell race gas in it, sans-Boostane, and hoping the cats will clean themselves out but I've put very few miles on it lately so that's still TBD. All for now. Cheers!

I'm glad things are looking up for you on the biz side! These are challenging times. On your CEL, I had one appearing on the M6 recently that wouldn't go away. I started with the fuel tank cap which only yielded a temporary fix. I drove it about a week later and, boom...CEL again. I knew it wasn't plugs or coils so I decided to do an Italian Tune-up with a 96 octane mix on the standard tune. The tune-up was about 50 or 60 miles, flat-stick and to the redline as much as possible. After a good cool-down I parked it. The next day I started it and no CEL. No matter how advanced the tech, it seems the Italian Tune-up will always have a place in the automotive toolbox. Again, good to have you back. Cheers-mk

Yeah, once the Boostane concentration is down to nothing, I'll flash the stock tune back onto it and give it an "Italian tune-up" and see what that does. Not sure if the orange MMT residue can be burned out; usually something that's a powder has a really high kindling point. They may have to be taken out and cleaned manually, at which point I may opt for downpipes although I really love the sound I have right now and don't want it to change much. We'll see. I can use BimmerLink to clear the code if it's bugging me, and the steering wheel covers up the CEL...so not a dire situation. It's not something that poses a danger to the car, though it's lost some performance and is now faster than only 95% of the other cars on the road, instead of 99%. There's a first-world problem for ya.

Pareto's 80/20 principle, top 20% men smash 80% women. The ratio is probably even more skewed on Tinder et al. Years ago, I have created a female Tinder profile for research purposes as you do normally do... Really opened my eyes as to how and why it all works. One dude in a wheelchair said that "I" sure don't wanna fuck him because he's paralysed. Right, then. So many awful, boring, half-assed profiles of men who clearly don't even put effort into anything in their life; no wonder women swipe left WAY more than men. Point is, you don't have to Lambos or 8-packs in your photos to get some. Just a few decent photos, short but sweet bio, and a good attitude. Worked for me pretty well in the three years I was on tinder. P.S.: Muscles do help though.

It also helps to be selective with who you swipe on and who you match with. Which is kind of a moot point because if you match with hotter chicks then you see hotter chicks. Tinder "limits" your "league"
I don't know how it is with you guys' age group but for my age group (early 20s) Tinder is useless. It also destroys some of your self-esteem when you see your data. My match rate was 2.73% in average for 3 data sets; I'm no greek god but I'm at worst average looking, 6'3, my bio is witty, i have pics of flying a plane, sailing in lake michigan, and a pic with a flamethrower etc. I lead a fun life, I'm extroverted etc on paper that puts me in the "upper 20%" Overall Tinder is good for "girls you don't want to do anything with other than match, ejaculate, evacuate" imo. Looking for anything more is kind of ridiculous because those sorta chicks don't use Tinder. God forbid if you lost your job, would you give out your full resume for a part time at McDonalds? |

Mate, if you live a good, fun and social life, then you're better off meeting women through your friends. These apps should be used as a supplement to an already-existing social life. Otherwise, people get too hung up on them and when they don't get as much success as they were hoping, it makes a negative impact on their self-esteem, as you've mentioned... which brings me to my first point - do not give a damn about how many matches you have amassed. Got ride of online dating apps alongside all my social media accounts last year - my life without likes, follows and matches is not any less enjoyable. It's better. And I am not far away from you age-wise.

Plus the market for horny, boring and simpy "men" is huge. You can pay females to play video games with you. Their discord is a simp show, me and my friends occasionally go in there to mess with these basement dwellers its hilarious I got banned from it though for saying I'd buy feet pics. Before anyone goes off, no I don't like feet, and I'm not gonna pay for women/pics/etc when it's 2020 and I have a 100mbps line. I said that and 3-4 chicks PM'd me asking how much I'd pay. Quote:
And I don't care about the match rate, but when you've seen 12k profiles and only matched 149, you go "I'm not that ugly... am I?" and that's not a feeling I'd want anyone to have. The only winning move is to not play |

Theres only to choices, both of which can be attained if your mature in the game of women and relationships. Many men who chase can be a sexmen but because they are always greedy for a women they will never be a lovemen. When your just a sexmen u are figuring things out and enjoying ur lust but depending on the situation some women just want a lovemen than a sexmen

Well boys (and girls) the night was a success!
Per usual, I did my best to make my intentions clear from the very beginning. Not ever looking to mislead or hurt anyone. So, here is my contribution to this thread, hot off the press. Even with stay at home orders I think we managed to have a pretty good time. I ended up doing the cookout idea I had mentioned previously and decided to invite my neighbors (another couple) to eat with us. This was sort of a last-minute decision, but I’m glad I did it. They live right next door to me; I call them my “wing couple.” If you don’t already have one of these, I highly encourage you do everything in your power to find one. They are a godsend for singles and really help lighten the mood on first dates. I’ve known both since high school and they “get me.” Very cool couple and are actually a little closer to her age. Anyway, back to the story... I did all the cooking, meanwhile I let her chit chat with the couple to break the ice a bit. They are super friendly and outgoing, so wasn’t worried about making her feel forced to meet new people (being an introvert, I loathe this). I also knew from lab that she wasn’t very shy, so I thought she wouldn’t mind. They hit it off and proceed to make fun of my cooking techniques (I take grilling very seriously and even have a custom apron) my friends find this hilarious. We all eat my incredible steak and shrimp, talk about life, have a few beers etc... We eventually break off from the couple and go for a walk around the lake. We did about 10 laps and just talked nonstop - we really don’t have much in common other than education, but I was telling her about medical school and how passionate I am about the field and my plans for the future. She seemed to really appreciate this and could relate. We approach my building and I offer to give her a tour of my apartment. As we enter my bedroom, I couldn’t help but think “you need to make a move here” but she’s too mature for this and most likely not like the typical 21 year old I’m used to dealing with, so I keep my cool and make her comfortable. We end up bullshitting on my bean bag chairs for a bit. I open a bottle of red wine which leads into some light cuddling and we end up picking out some horrible action movie on Netflix called Extraction. I couldn’t even finish it, so mid-movie, I bring up the idea of going down to the community hot-tub (I already know it’s closed because of COVID-19 but she doesn’t know this). I convince her to live a little and jump the fence. I really didn’t have a backup plan at this point LOL (it was either go back to my place and find another movie or she was probably going to leave). We hop the fence and continue drinking in the tub (in our underwear) for like an hour and then worked our way into the pool. We alternated from the cold pool to the hot-tub like a dozen times until we finally start making out in hot-tub. She starts getting handsy in the tub and I try to get her to dry off and head back up, but she isn’t having it. She insists on more wine and hot-tub time. Mind you, it’s 2 A.M at this point, so I attempt to make a deal. I tell her if she jumps in the pool naked and does a lap, I will get us another bottle of wine. She takes the deal and proceeds with her promise. It was a good deal on my end I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination, but let’s just say my lab grade better be an A. |
