I was trying to get better pictures for my dating app profile and every single one I was taking was making me feel terrible looking at them.

Then I read some tips online talking about perspective and using natural light. So I took new photos using this new knowledge and I found them quite a bit better, I'm not sure if it will help me but I was a lot happier with the results haha

my mom was an alcoholic, I hate who I am and how I feel, I’m a binge drinker.

My young years I was a borderline alcoholic stopped for a few years and then was able to have one or 2. Last 3 times I drank I disappeared for several days and lost a job. Been clean for 11 months
What do you value most about your friendships with other women?

I’d just say that we have so many shared experiences and perspectives on things. Like, they get what it’s like to go through the feelings and problems of being a woman. I don’t have to apologize for feeling strong emotions, or just needing a moment to cry, or to be scared. They won’t tell me to calm down when I’m angry, and they won’t make me feel silly for being excited by finding a really cute pair of shoes to match my favorite jeans.

Don’t get me wrong, I think guys are awesome, but it’s just different. I think guys might say the same about their friendships with other guys vs. women.
What’s the dumbest thing someone has done while hitting on you?

Since I'm Asian-American, it's happened a lot that guys try to impress me by speaking some random Asian language to me. I don't speak any Asian languages.

Whenever that happens I always respond in fluent French, and then act surprised when they don't understand "white language".

I gave a guy at bar my phone number and I can't stop thinking about it

F25 One day, about a month ago, I went to this bar restaurant where I saw him. I found out he is the owner. His father would always be around so I tried my best not to make it uncomfortable. The bartender told me he is single so I thought okay there is a chance. I went there for another two times without saying anything to him - we would only look at each other which means nothing. Today I said enough is enough. He was making the restaurant's weekly schedule on a piece of paper while sitting next to two friends and his brother.
What "red flags" don't initially come off as red flags till later?

I was reading the other day about a guy who had a very spontaneous, living-in-the-moment girlfriend. He had a brief gap in his housing situation (I forget, something like flooding at his home) and decided he'd move in wiht her for a couple of weeks to test the waters of that escalation of their relationship.

What he discovered is that she isn't merely spontaneous, but rather she's incapable of thinking ahead. Doesn't want to cook food when she's not hungry; doesn't want to shop for food until she's desperately hungry, etc.

IIRC he broke up with her as soon as his home was ready.

I worked with a guy who would not shut his mouth. I had to travel to New York from Boston with him once a week for a few months straight, and it was absolute torture sitting with him on a 3.5 hour train ride. On our 3rd or 4th trip, we mistakenly sat in the Amtrak Acela quiet car, where you're not allowed to talk above a whisper and phone calls are forbidden. Not only was it a nice respite from his verbal diarrhea, but it was hilarious watching him squirm to try to keep himself occupied without being able to talk. Eventually he would get up and hang out in the bar car just to talk to people. I loved the quiet car when traveling with that guy.

My partner 45 of five years dreams of becoming a billionaire, something I don't see a clear why behind from him. He's lazy, inconsistent, watches videos of billionaires and cites them all the time. I'm being as crude as I can and what I see is that he loves the idea of being one of them but has no plan in place for it. It's been 5 years and has been out of work because of this dream. I love him but it's impossible to admire him. Why is he doing this?

Once a week a "me-time evening". I treat myself with a spa treatment, my favorite food and a favorite movie. It's something I look forward to and it makes me happy every time, even if the rest of the week is trash.

Maybe I'm weird, but I shout "Good morning" at the top of my lungs even though I live alone.

I just went out with some friends and they parked at my apartment. They were going to get an Uber home but came inside to smoke real quick. I didn’t really think much of the state of my place but they lost it and made jokes the whole time about how dirty it was. Didn’t even want to sit down anywhere or hangout, I could tell the wish they never came inside. I do struggle with depression and that’s a big part of it. I feel so exhausted by the smallest tasks sometimes. I personally didn’t think it was that bad but I also know I’m used to it because this was also how I grew up. I want to change don’t get me wrong it’s just hard to break a cycle. Just feeling so embarrassed and lost.
What's the most random skill you have that never fails to impress people?

I can write backwards perfectly with my left hand.

I remember the middle names and birthdays of all my family members (parents, sister, 15+ cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.).
What’s the weirdest advice you’ve ever received that actually worked?

"Talk to yourself like you're your own best friend." It felt odd at first, but it helped me build self-confidence and self-compassion over time.

I’m a straight man and in college when I drank I got what tasted good, which was usually the sweeter tasting stuff. And I had numerous women approach me because of it. Got lots of selfies and making out from just being myself and not trying to be like 99.5% of the other dudes in the club trying to drink the hardest, most disgusting stuff just to appear masculine. Lol.

I also danced. And lots of women danced with me because I wasn’t standing on the wall like Terminator. Women love a man who’s fun and confident. 🥹

Pretty privilege is real and I recognize I can get away with some things not everyone can.

When we took our first cat home, he was still very young. He fell asleep on my lap while I pet his belly. We bonded immediately. I miss him a lot.
