And yet, somehow, your life just wouldn’t be the same without him

(Better, maybe, but not the same)

I don’t really see how people chosing to be barefoot has anything to do with their ability to make eye-drops, unless the aforementioned people are using their feet to do it

There have been times (like when we were moving) when they had to share less boxes, and they also did fine with that! I think some cats are better with being in colonies. Only one of the four gets possessive over his box. The others don’t really seem to care if another cat uses their favorite box or not

I had one cat going into the relationship (which was enough for me)

My husband had 3. He had a pair for about 10 years, and then a very feral ten-week-old kitten ended up in his apartment. That kitten is now four years old

I would like very much for us to find a new home for the stray, but my husband has been avoiding it. We tried, once, and the stray ended up biting the new owner so badly that they required medical treatment. He hasn’t bitten anyone else, but the concern is that the next person won’t return him to us if he gets aggressive and might opt to have him put down. So… seems like we’re stuck with four cats

rosymind, to memes in I have never understood that.

People feel temperature changes a bit differently. Some people come from colder climates and are acclimated to them.

I’m better with tolerating heat. My husband is better tolerating the cold. We’re all just a bit different and that’s awesome

rosymind, to memes in I have never understood that.

Well that’s adorable

We have 4 cats with 4 boxes and they do just fine

That said… 4 cats is too many and I don’t recommend anyone get this many unless you are a cat sanctuary

Gotcha. Lessee. My husband is part Korean, part various Hispanic, and I’m mostly white (born in South Africa so I have a spattering of various ethnicities given that my ancestors were sailors to some degree).

Husband (who also has a strong, white, preference) says that generally women tend to want to stay in their ethnic group, while men are more likely to want someone outside their ethnic group. I’m not certain on the validity of that, since where I live there is a whole lot of variation in couples.

Either way, that might be adding to your challenges! It also depends on your area. Where I live there are plenty of mixed couples, but if you’re in a state where people tend to stay within their ethnic groups that’s gonna be a lot harder

Finding someone who has your exact beliefs is also extremely difficult. I never would have guessed I would marry someone like my husband. He leans conservative, while I lean liberal (for example).

But what I meant is: if you like a sporty woman, going to the gym is where you might find one. If you like an artsy woman, take a random art class at a community College. If you like an out-going woman, you’ll want to check your area for “fun things to do”. If what you want is an introvert who plays DnD, then try to find a DnD group. Try to figure out what interests the women you want will have- and then go there.

Keep in mind this will take time. You have to be friends with them first (for long term relationships) and then work your way into their hearts/minds/panties from there.

And side note, you could easily be friend zoned. But, with luck, she might have a single friend who she’d think you’d be perfect with :)

You lack rizz, my friend. I wish I could lend you some of mine, because I have more than I need (when I chose to use it)

Yes, losing weight would help but it isn’t everything.

Hmm. My husband is pretty dull in most aspects, but he was doing climbing when we started dating. I thought that was cool. I also happen to like games, as does he- so we bonded over our mutual appreciation for gaming. He also spent a great deal of time in school (he’s a mechanical engineer) and though I probably shouldn’t tell you this he was a virgin until he was in his 30’s. If he can find someone, you can too

I think your best bet is to start trying out different hobbies, especially physical ones (not suggesting climbing, but try hiking? I don’t know where you are, but Meet-up is a good way to meet people and hiking seems to be a common thing around where I live)

If you need dating advice you can ask me. I’m about to be 40, but I did quite a bit of it in my 20’s and 30’s before I settled down. If you land dates I might be able to help you get specific women’s attention

What’s your type (if you have one) and I mean less about how they look and more about how they act (figuring out what motivates them will be a big step forward in being able to date them)

rosymind, to memes in It's not fair

I think a tux cut to a woman’s form can be super sexy.

I also think men should rock pink more often :)

rosymind, to memes in It's not fair

My husband pointed out that certain items like sneakers, backpacks and scrubs are either unisex or women’s. Many other items are that way, too. A men’s watch might be large on a woman’s wrist but no-one would really think twice. A tiny pink watch on a man’s wrist would likely garner more attention (depending on where you are in the western world, of course)

rosymind, to risa in It's true.

Yeah, I’m almost 40 and I wanna be Avasarala when I grow up

rosymind, to asklemmy in Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?

Whichever is the lesser of the evils. It seems that’s been the majority of our choices lately.

To be clear I’m all for the people: whoever will create the least amount of suffering, and retain the greatest amount of human rights. It feels like we’ve stopped making progress and the best we can do for now is cling desperately to what we still have

So… not republican. Obviously.

rosymind, to asklemmy in Why do some people like cats so insanely much?

Interesting. All of my cats have had their own unique personalities. I did have one that was like the one you mentioned above, but he didn’t live long. Almost all of my cats have been indoors only for that reason

rosymind, to asklemmy in Is it too late to date for me?

How over-weight is over-weight? How old are the women you’re trying to approach? How are you approaching them? Which career did you choose?

That’ll help in enlightening us as to the cause of your rejection
