    I met my wife because I was flirting with this woman and then she left and my wife showed up and in my drunken state I thought she was the same girl I was talking to before so rizz was exceptional and I ended up keeping her after that night.

    10 years later we got married last year! Woo! Embarrassment!

    My social security number. How embarrassing is yours?

    (Please don’t post your actual number, even for the lolz)

    Not embarrassing, weird maybe?

    I secretly enjoy weird combination of foods (sometimes too exotic)

    • milkshake and broccoli (or any veggie)

    • watermelon and salt

    • tortillas with papaya and whole lot of chilly pepper

    I could go on…

      watermelon and salt is one of those things that sounds strange in theory, then you try it and you regret that you could ever think that way

      Honestly based. Once I have eaten a choco rolls with green onions as a breakfast in HS. Milkshake and broccoli doesn’t sound that bad tbh.

      Are you alternating? Or combining?

      Watermelon and salt sounds perfectly sane to me because chemistry.

      Tortillas, fruit, and chili doesn’t make sense to me, but I’ve appropriated a ton of foods that “just work” to me so…. I get it nonetheless.

    Either that I only eat frozen meals and don’t cook. Or that I have never had any friends. Or that I’m a cis female but have a ton of excess hair in the wrong spots (esp on my chin and neck) I try to keep on top of. Or that I’ve never been in a relationship and I’m 30. So many things to choose from!

    My life is not so bad, though! The internet exists both for human connection and for entertainment. And I have a good job so I make enough to buy random crap.

      No shade, that’s cool. IDGAF what you look like once I know you, and that you are in tune with the emotion of the situation.

      Paraphrasing a folk singer I respect here, but “I used to cry when needed, I can’t cry for the life of me anymore as an adult.”

      Tears communicate that either I’ve fucked up, or there’s something I legit misunderstood, and I need to take a step back.

      In some ways, I envy your ability to do that. Professional me doesn’t scree around, personal me rather wishes I could cry it out once in a while.

      I’ve spent a lifetime fixing my inclination to escalate at the first sign of conflict, and…. It’s been brutal. I’m thrilled to mostly be gentle these days, but it still requires work.

      You never gave into the BS.

    You know that scene with the guy on the castle wall in Monty Python and the Holy Grail that farts in your general direction?
    Yeah, I giggled.

      I’ll just suggest to you, get an ebike, then you can hide how unfit you are 😏. Takes all the stress out of hills and some of the stress out of having impatient cars behind you, and keeps the enjoyable parts.

      You better come to terms with that. I used to play twitch shooters all the time… I now have an essential tremor and in your thirties your reflexes really start to go.

        “Why don’t you just leave?”

        I don’t know, because I don’t have any fucking money or help or anywhere to go, and he’d torture me to the ends of the earth if I did?

          That’s a bullshit question, and distance can help with the stalking.

          M here, carefully manipulated by an F abuser, so I understand at least some of it. Not your lived exp of course, but no one is immune.

          The only women who should be hit are the women who actively consent to it, and the language surrounding it.

      Considering that you’re making thoughtful attempt, odds are that the rest of us see you as very stylish and you’re just your own worst critic.

        Yes it’s because I think of myself as a good-looking outgoing guy and then I look in the mirror and I see an it worker 😅

        As far as insecurities go it’s not a big deal to me.

    I’m too embarrassed to tell you. I’ll give you a freebie, though: I bought Mega Man X7 for the PlayStation 2. Unironically. On purpose. Having enjoyed the previous Mega Man X games, I didn’t think for a second it would be bad.

    It was bad.
