Thanks all! I appreciate everyone who answered, especially those who provided a meaningful or nuanced response.
I framed my question in a specific way for a specific reason and got very useful insight about the vibe here, including how people interpreted the question.
On a dating app. Bumble or Plenty of Fish or Coffee Meets Bagel. I no longer remember.
I had just finished college and had proof and confidence that I had shed my desperation and insecurities. I was excited to date. Had intentions of dating a lot, sleeping around, finding a cool, low commitment consistent FWB or something.
I was set to be a menace and enjoy my heaux phase.
Tinder was full of bots, so I tried a few different apps, meta few girls, but hadn't really hit it off with anyone.
I knew I liked weird/off kilter/nerdy girls. That much was certain.
So when I saw her tagline, which specifically asked for facts about a certain, semi obscure animal, I (excuse the pun) pounced
And that was the greatest mistake I ever made.
She was a weirdo, to be sure. But like, a cool one. Self-confident. Curvy. With similar cultural experiences as me and a lot of similar interests and tastes. And I like the way she thought about things. She felt the same way.
After our second date I didn't wanna talk to other women. I didn't wanna play the field or sleep around or build a ho-tation.
I just wanted her
I wanted her to like me, to think about me, to want me too.
We've been married for 6 years now. She's still a lil goofy. Still very charming, very curious, and chubby curvy, and the person I most wanna hangout with on any given day.
Found this during the Reddit diaspora. Tried it for weeks. Left. Came back once a month. Still not committed to this place but i still check in and post.
Too much FOSS/Linux evangelism here.
Still too little activity in communities centered on my interests.
The vibes are... not great here but I'm not giving up on it. I just don't think "my" people are here yet
No worries; you asked a genuine question and got a genuine answer haha..
My wife is awesome and the best partner i could ever ask for, so I'm ahead of the game in that regard
The artists who draw the art/topics/proportions I'm into, and the IRL models with those proportions, don't exist on Mastodon. If they do I haven't found them. So Twitter still gets my horny clicks cause that content doesn't exist elsewhere.
Nah that's exactly what i was looking for. Recommendations. I.listened to the album all the way thru and bounced off, so i figured I'd ask a fan next time i saw one.
I don't know how to appreciate Fall of Troy outside of F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. and its unpronounceable original version. Even seeing them live (they opened for Alexisonfire) left me feeling like i was missing something.
