    Habits that would put you off from dating someone?

    I think we all have those turn-offs that signal something in our brains that makes us think "hell no" when someone we thought was attractive does something not up to our standards. In terms of bad habits or general habits you don't like, what are some that would put you off from dating someone...

    You ever known someone who played Strip Poker?

    Maybe I am wrong but is this like a made-up game or something? The only time I have ever seen it has been in TV shows and movies. I have never known anyone to have actually played it IRL and not it is bothering me. LOL Like does this game even exist in the real world? 90% of the time as well it...

    Online Business Ideas For 2022?

    I would love to one day have my own online business. I love helping people and my job but the last two years has really worn me down. I almost dread going to work on a daily basis now. With the overtime, the lack of sleep, I am just about at my limit. I am going to start looking into online...

    How would you handle your partner losing their job?

    Say you are in a relationship with someone who accounts for at least half the income and means of finances for you both and they lose their job. Maybe they were fired, maybe the company shut down, maybe there were budget cuts. Either way, they are no longer employed and their income was needed...

    How hard do you think it is to learn the violin as an adult?

    I might have mentioned it on the forum before... I have always had a fascination with it but never picked it up as a kid. I am tempted to get a cheap violin and try to teach myself when I have spare time. Everything I am reading is saying it is one of the hardest instruments to learn in...

    Covid is weird, man

    Who here had covid and knows they did? What did it feel like? I was vaccinated a while back since I work in a clinic. I was around a few people in my family who had it during Christmas and didn't know. They both got pretty sick but nothing life-threatening. I was feeling unwell from Sunday till...

    What age do you think is best?

    In terms of getting married, what age do you think is best for a man, and what age do you think is best for a woman? In terms of having children, what age do you think is best for a man and what age do you think is best for a woman? I have always had views on both subjects that have changed...

    City Life/ Suburb Life/ Country Life?

    In terms of general lifestyles (excluding politics, religion, etc) what kind of area do you prefer when it comes to living - in the city, in the suburb, or in the country? I never cared for city life. I have lived in a city for half my life and moved away. I prefer it in the suburb. It is a mix...

    TikTok is a weapon against the youth

    I said this when it first blew up. The Chinese government is using it to not only make millions off data farming but to allow people to spread their degeneracy around and influence kids to think, say, and do some really stupid and immoral ish. Every time I see a new "trend" I throw up in my...

    What do you spend on your SO for Christmas?

    I am only in the beginning stages of a relationship so I am not sure if I will get him something or not. I will say in past relationships that were fully established, I would spend $100. I think that is a nice number that can get a good gift or two. I don't like to go overboard. I feel like if...

    Would Martin Luther King Jr Be Hated Today?

    I have to wonder this. I have been wondering this for the last 6 or 7 years now. I see how people talk and act. I see what things people use to segregate and discriminate. MLK Jr was very much in the mindset of judging people based on the content of character and not the color of their skin. I...

    Where do you think this metaverse is going to lead?

    Some are saying it is just a rich man's fantasy. Others are saying it will be part of the future for everyone. I am not sure how I feel about it. Like everything I learned about it, it is making me feel as if they want to use this tech to track and database everyone and everything they are...

    What would you spend on a wedding ring?

    I am asking the guys in particular but ladies feel free to chime in on how much you think should be spent. I know the standard for a lot of people is 3 months' wages which seems ridiculous. Say you earning $3,500 a month, you really going to spend over 10k on a ring? That all seemed much to me...

    What Black Activist Groups Should Be Avoided?

    There are so many groups these days it seems. It is like gender identities with those tumblr people or something. lol I know some of them mean well, some do good, but a lot of them are just using skin color to get what they want when they want, they don't care about actually helping anything or...

    Anyone get hit with some bad weather?

    Those tornados made one hell of a mess! Was anyone in the thick of things? I live more northeast so we got some heavy winds and a temp drop but nothing too serious. I was without power yesterday evening on and off for about 5 hours which sucked but I managed. I was looking at some pictures and...

    Celeste

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/504230/Celeste/ The game is only $5. Thinking about getting it. Haven't played a side-scrolling platform in a while. Reminds me of the old-school classics from the '90s. It is a bit old at this point since it came out in 2018 so that is likely why it is so...

    I am not sure if I asked this here or not or if someone else had, my apologies if a thread already exists for this. I am curious if anyone here has any plans though or goals they are looking for reach for the new year. I am kind of in limbo right now. I have some options, some moves I can make...

    Avoiding Family During the Holidays

    I have a friend at work who does this every year. She signs up to work double shifts Christmas week just to say she can't go to the family dinner and avoid the holiday with her family. We never get too in deep about things but I did ask her the other day why she doesn't like Christmas. She said...

    Do you think social media is creating less fulfilling relationships?

    I been thinking about this for a while. It seems like a lot of people come and go from relationships like chewed bubblegum these days. I can't help but make the connection to social media. Like where people go to get validation and feel-good hormones released and soon as it wears out, they need...
