          and casual interest is definitely okay with me, therefore gimme a ‘yes’ to astrology. I have a serious interest in metaphysics so if someone can match me on my journey through quantum consciousness and they have a ton to say from an astrology perspective, I’m all ears. Anyone who is that interested in how the mind works is probably interesting person, imo, and worth having at least as a friend even if they think the hour I’m born determines who my woman is lol

                If only it was the actual point in your original comment, that would be one thing. I was referring to all the other… stuff.

                  I hope you have nothing against this statement.

                  I have a serious interest in metaphysics so if someone can match me on my journey through quantum consciousness and they have a ton to say from an astrology perspective, I’m all ears.

                  That sentence is me talking about orch or (quantum consciousness), and if a woman can match my knowledge on that subject (quantum consciousness) with their knowledge of astrology, then I am all ears.

                  Anyone who is that interested in how the mind works is probably interesting person, imo, and worth having at least as a friend even if they think the hour I’m born determines who my woman is lol

                  See my line of thinking? Any person (I keep saying woman here but whatever, you know what I mean) who has that much interest in the human mind is absolutely someone who is interesting to me. You know how few people actually give a fucking shit about how the mind works? If any person can match my interest in consciousness with their theories of astrology, no matter how wacky from a scientific pov, I am interested in them as a human being. They are cool people who I like to be around, and I have found it’s mutual.

                  What other stuff in my original comment is there? Can you quote me directly please and address the exact words I used? I have my entire original post here for you to dismantle. I’m a software engineer, it’s not like I have a doctorate in quantum mechanics, but I’m interested in it. Allow me to have my nerdy interests please, they literally don’t offend anyone but you apparently. And jesus learn to get along with human beings, people out there read about astronomy, whether you like it or not, and they’re perfectly normal human beings—more normal than you are.

    Why history? If a woman came up toe and started talking about bronze age trade routes and the contributing factors for the fall of the Indus valley civilization I’d be more than happy. Wait the guy who made this is a gormless pissant, astrology is a red flag.

    When one woman tried to contact me from what my man brain thinks could be some sort of attempt at a date, she listed out going to the gym, music, cooking, and my eyes almost wanted to roll into my skull.

    I went for it anyway, didn’t really date, just investigated the person and talked normally.

    She raised too many red flags and my reaction was fuck no!

      Care to share more details? Gym, cooking and music just sound super generic, but maybe I’m already too old to get some cues

        Super generic. I’m apprehensive and avoid jumping into a date. She acts pretty interested, but at one point asks for a gift card. I’m already ambivalent, and this is a red flag.

        So I go for it anyway (already seeing her in the friendzone, and consider the money acceptable to waste), find out she does not have any way to recieve it and it would costs extra. I think screw this, not worth it. She says she won’t force me to if I don’t want to.

        Then goes 160° and says “why are you being so stingy”, “I asked you because I consider you a good friend” (we barely meet), and “just buy the giftcard”. I was basically only keeping the dating option open on principle that I should give everyone a chance, and was fine with friendship.

        But that was one hell of a red flag, and when I lost contact for other reasons, I just didn’t want to contact her for some more potential manipulation.

    That’s a lot.

    Hey, at least I got to experience a bad marriage. I can take comfort in the fact that if I die now, I didn’t have to exaggerate anything close to that lol

        high functioning

        I mean… have you ever been on I-93? Or even been cut off by someone who appears to have murder–suicide in mind, like anywhere in the northeast (it’s always Mass plates)?

          Hard disagree.

          I’d take being on the road with massholes any day over fighting SF Bay Area traffic.

          Yes, massholes are frustratingly aggressive to the uninitiated. But we’re predictably aggressive. Like, if you leave space, someone’s gonna fit their car there.

          Contrast that to the much more chaotic and oblivious shit you see on the regular in the SFBA - people tend to do distracted driving shit a TON more there, and are generally more oblivious to their surroundings, which often causes more traffic and more collisions.

          Source: grew up in SFBA; have lived in Boston for well over a decade.

            Touché±. Predictable drivers are so under-appreciated.

            And hating on other cities(’ drivers)—an annoying habit I learned in the Pacific Northwest—is kinda tacky.
