I have a serious question for you. If a man is looking for a woman on a dating site, why would he post a bunch of pictures with women? I mean, it seems like it would raise more issues.

Do you want to see other women in his pictures to show that he is dateable? Maybe you want to compare yourself to his past relationships? As a man, I would not post pictures of me with women when I’m looking for a woman. The whole point is to highlight me and my eligibility, not raise questions of whether I’m a womanizer looking for my next conquest.

Then again, maybe that’s what you’re looking for? Someone who’s cool, and has lots of women hanging around him? I don’t know.

However, I do agree that if all he has on the profile is fishing, he’s probably not doing much else. I’d include a whole lot more stuff.

Funny thing is, what you say you seek is what I used to seek, but somehow I always ended up broke and overworked when i was with women. Maybe you’re one of the good ones I never found. Oh, well.

This - and besides, industrialists have polluted almost every lake and river so that eating those fish might kill you slowly. Being able to both catch and cook is an exhilarating experience when out in nature, though.

Damn, I am envious.

As someone who does not use dating apps, it seems to me that a lot of men who are not city dwellers get lots of joy out of fishing. It seems rather insulting to demean someone for showing one of their favorite activities to potential mates. To those who would do that, I would ask why not simply move on quietly?

Now that I think of it, those men are dodging bullets like Neo. Smart guys. If I ever decide to put myself out there, I’m putting up pictures of myself at a campground with a fishing rod and bicycle in the background. That should weed out any women who expect four star resorts, expensive restaurants, and expensive toys for their mere presence.

I gave up after my second divorce, I hope you have better luck. Beware, most seem to be looking for free everything with no work for them.

It’s so heartwarming to see a non-cynical take on something on the Internet. Thanks!

Obviously, the assumption is one spouse supplies all the money, housing, trips, etc., while the other receives adoration and gifts. It’s the huge social stereotype some of us are expected and/or forced to play out.

Indeed

Wait until you are 50. Anyway, this reminded me of this little gem

Actually, I’m past my 30s and my main complaints are lack of flexibility, and difficulty keeping my weight under control. More focus on exercise would likely help.

And here i thought it was just a funny movie all hese years!

O.o

Actually, I think you got that wrong. Generally they hire from within first.

They post jobs they don’t intend to offer so they can justify hiring an H-1b to the frleds… “See? We posted the job for months and nobody was able to fill it”

Of course, the caption came out automatically in my head in Alice Cooper’s voice.

Nope - removable stereo face plate. The the unit is useless without it.

What dies this even mean??

My mother in law gave me one of those.

A Delaware staple: Crabby Dick’s.

Not at all, but the people who do this outsized patriotism are often the same ones that storm capitols, threaten “immigrants” some of whom are 2nd or 3rd generation Americans, and are on-board with banning books.

It saddens me how many people like this we have here.

Idn raw dollars, yes, but you are committing labor, which has a value. If you are being paid $60/hr at a job, theoretically you should multiply the hours of labor you put on by that value. Of coursevwe know a labor of love should not really be calculated that way, but it is a useful metric.

I remember several of the brews I did were two-stage. They started inn a plastic bucket, then moved to a glass carboy. These produced more sophisticated flavors and clearer beers. That is labor intensive and adds labor and risk of contamination during transfer.

Then there is the bottling process! That’s fun for the first 10 minutes.
