All you need to be a superhero is 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run every day.

Its a reference to the anime One Punch Man where Saitama, the hero, attains ungodly power through diet and exercise.

Guy I know who is single: "You need to be literally perfect! Tons of money, super athletic, cultured, brilliant, speaking six different languages! It's impossible!"

Girl I know who is single: "Fuck me, I hope this next guy I'm seeing isn't married, can cover his side of the check, and remembered to wash his ass. Although, at this point, two out of three isn't bad."

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Guy who is me who is single: I'd be fine if we could just get some third places that aren't focused on drinking where it is appropriate to ask women on a date.

Or if I started drinking more again I guess, but having quit for a while to cut back I don't want to get back to where I was, I'm doing good.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago (12 children)

Additional third spaces definitely required.

100% this. But also, you can make your own third space by inviting friends over and asking them to bring friends. I met most of my serious girlfriends at various house parties. Friends of friends are somewhat pre-vetted.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You have made one major assumption here which I feel cannot be overlooked.

Well to do that all my friends would have to un-OD on heroin lol, the opioid epidemic did a real number on my city. I never did it myself, but for me to invite them over I'd need a shovel or a Ouija Board, and idk who they'd bring but I'm not sure I wanna find out!

"Damn Steve, when did you become friends with Moloch and Baal? And why'd you bring Ea-Nasir?!"

My only living in town friend is moving in about a year, too. And if he had anyone he could set me up with I'd know lol, known him for 15yr.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeesh. Sounds like you need a new set of friends or a new town. I wonder how much of the loneliness is down to loads of people living in really sparse areas.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yeah well y'know, I work, then I'm too tired to go out, can't afford bars anymore and if I could I'm still too old for that shit.

I do go out to some naturey places when the weather permits (of course it's been hotter than the sun until like this week), but it's not like a naturey meet up I just smoke weed and read a book next to the creek, and look at frogs and shit.

Furthermore, I don't know how these people who say "go to X or Y" even find out that X or Y is happening locally, and where/when. Newspapers? Those still around?

Try more meetups? There's always stuff for running, board games, coding, bike riding, bird watching. Just don't be a creeper who's cruising instead of doing the activity in good faith.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 11 months ago (6 children)

It's my understanding that women don't want to be asked out at such places, the common complaint being that they can't even enjoy their hobby without guys asking them out.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago (20 children)

Finding romantic and sexual partners is really, really hard for people who are unable to find new friends generally.

It's a lot easier to meet women to date when you don't have much trouble talking to women and men you're not at all interested in dating.

The friend of friend angle remains one of the best filters for finding available partners who might actually be compatible with you. And that pool is a lot bigger when you can get along with people through hobbies and activities, who have already kinda vetted that you're a good person who is fun to be around.

I'm not Czech, I can cover the sides of my ass, and I remember I'm married.

How did I do?

If you know a number higher than a HUMDRED I would like to hear it!
