unfortunately, I haven’t settled on the purfect one. So, I am still cat-less.
The roomba pet version was pre-wanting the pet, but i figured if it’s good enough for pet fur, it should be decent…
what is up with you two today? … rhyming? …puns!?!
eh i hate dates. its expensive, and ur stuck with what u got. i only do it when forced and she is hot enough. the best place to meet someone is at a bar/club, so i got options and can pass to a friend (i tell her to invite her friends so we can merge groups). another good place is the beach. i go every saturday and chill there after a run so its convenient (if she shows great, if she dont, im still with my friends and can holler), then when i know they aint psycho, its netflix and chill.
and here’s a tip on okc. ask them for their snapchat. most of the time these women are scared to meet cuz they dont kno u. but if u post videos and she watches then she will get to know you without actually meeting you. and it’ll be higher success rate.
i do a lot of online dating when i gotta study for the cfa. it declines when i actually start going out.
People actually use snapchat?
New year’s resolution; be better to your inferiors.
itera was visited over Christmas by the three hacksaw ghosts - the ghost of CFA Level 2 Band 6, the ghost of overseas IT office, and the founder of Devry university. He awoke the next day with joy and cat thoughts in his heart.
lol you noticed? I wasn’t sure anyone would… bravo
Wow, Ohai’s getting good at this humor thing… It’s time for Ohai to start doing stand-up. I’m on board!
Dating in LA sucked if you were looking for something serious. You’d meet a cool girl in Santa Monica, then find out she lives in Pasadena and is visiting a friend. I could fly to New York in the time it would take to make that drive. I’m not a one night stand guy, but it happens a lot when you’re both too lazy to meet up across town for a second date.
Then there was the Hollywood scene, which 90% of the girls in their 20’s wanted to be a part of. Girls weren’t interested in going out for the sake of spending time with a guy, they just wanted to attend the coolest option available to them on any given night. There was a lot of competition. Also it was just a different vibe. Under no circumstance were you to suggest that you were interested in a relationship until you had been doing the dirty for months.
The only relationships I had longer than 3 months (I was there for 2 years) were with girls I met in very casual situations. A girl from a social sports league and a girl who spent a lot of time at the same coffee shop as me. That’s probably the best situation to meet girls anywhere, but in my early 20’s I wasn’t very smart I guess.

i think he’s got a better shot at sit-down comedy. i mean, odds are he’s sitting down right now. getting ohai to stand up may ruin his comedic effectiveness.
Age > location IMO.
A positive to CA or the west coast is nice® weather (less clothes and/or less weather distrubtions) and… of course happier cows.
According to the old lady who asked for my autograph at Wal-Mart at 9:45 PM Saturday* I look just like Blake Shelton, so perhaps the strategy I’m about to share won’t work for everyone, but it almost always worked for me. I’d ask a woman I was interested in if she wanted to grab a drink or a coffee. If it was someone I was introduced to through an acquaintance where I had perhaps met them multiple times, I’d consider asking about dinner, but there is a commitment difference between a drink or cup of coffee and dinner. Nobody is going to think you’re a rapist or a weirdo** and because you don’t really know the person, there’s going to be no awkwardness going forward. The beauty of simply asking is that saying no to people is hard. It’s why you give panhandlers who clearly are just hustlers money. It might be manipulative, but who cares.
I’ve been out of the game for a decade, so perhaps it’s all done through tinder now and I’d need to have 3 pictures of myself looking deceptively thin and a 4th picture of my crank lit just dimly enough so that I appear unquestionably in the middle quintile. But if real live face to face interaction is still a thing, you need to be casting a wide net. I’m particularly lucky because I don’t really have a type so I find at least half, and probably more than that, of the women in my general age range attractive enough to at least go on one date with.
* My blu-ray player stopped working while the kids were watching Jurassic World. Why some lady thought Blake Shelton was shopping at a Suburban Twin-Cities Wal-Mart at 9:45 on a Saturday night, buying an $80 blu-ray player, I’ll never know, but she eventually brought her husband over to confirm that I was in fact Blake Shelton.
**Unless you are a weirdo or rapist. Don’t be a weirdo or a rapist.
explain…
In the event this wasn’t meant to be a joke, I’m simply saying don’t be pushy, don’t gush about their beauty, wait for a 2nd drink to tell them you love them, a 3rd drink to ask what your children will look like, be willing to take no for an answer, etc. Especially the taking no for an answer part.
i’m kidding. you didn’t actually have to explain. explaining makes you suspect. ladies watch out. he’s large.
^asking makes you look more suspect
lets be honest, if Matt Likes Analysis used that screename on tinder and the font size was large, there would be a good chance that the last few characters would be cut off and he would be deemed a creep.
Or he would attract the right type of gal.
