Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever pretended to be interested in someone, especially someone who was interested in you? How did it go?English
1·8 days agoSorry - I don’t think I worded that well. I’d try dates with folks who I didn’t feel chemistry. When I say chemistry, I mean social - not sexual. There are a handful of people that I click with socially, and then the vast majority that I don’t.
I ended up marrying one of the few people I do click with socially.
I’ve never really considered sexual chemistry before. In my experience, sex is an activity like many others: you need to practice to make it work; when you’re doing it with someone else, there’s a learning curve to get it right for both of you; and sometimes one or both of you don’t get it right, so it kinda sucks.
Asexual is a tag that came around long after I’d left the dating pool. I’m not really familiar with what it means.

2·10 days agoNope. I thought maybe I could find chemistry with people if I got to know them better, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. At least for me.
Going out to bars when I was a student. I wanted to spend time with people, not spend money on the outing.

11·11 days agoNot pretended, but when I was dating, I’d say yes to a first date with anyone who seemed vaguely compatible. I’d try to make some chemistry happen. It didn’t.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When you were little, did your parents hold your hands? Did you feel comfortable with it? Did you feel embarassed by it?English
10·13 days agoI held my parents hands when we were in crowded places. Until I accidentally grabbed some random woman’s hand and felt really awkward. I probably stopped around age 7.
I love holding my kids hands. They’re big enough that I don’t think I’ll get to hold my elder son’s hand again, and I might get to hold my little guy’s hand a few more times. Here’s hoping.
I have to roll in the open, otherwise I’m tempted to lie about the rolls to benefit the players. I don’t want to, it just happens.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How did Gen X/Millennials failed at tackling the political issues they criticised in the 90'sEnglish
14·17 days agoWe’re not monolithic. No generation is. Those movies were kinda popular, but they found their success with a subset of the generation, not the entire group.
Just like every other generation, when we’re relatively comfortable (or exhausted from daily survival), we don’t have time to foment revolution.
A musk concentrator as some call it

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Serious Question for Tech Enthusiasts: What's the best price you think a Flipper Zero is "worth" before you buy it?English
2·18 days agoEh. I’d put it at $20. It’s a fun novelty, but it’s not something most people would get much value from. Okay, me. It’s not something I’d get much value from.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Besides self pleasure, how do you single men cope without months or years without sex?English
2·22 days agoOur society over-values sex, but there’s a pretty hefty biological component as well. Bodies want what they want. Different people feel it to different degrees at different times of their life.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Besides self pleasure, how do you single men cope without months or years without sex?English
7·22 days agoPhysical activity. Go play a sport. Get platonically sweaty with a bunch of other people. I found that helped. Hanging out with people sort of worked for me as well, but not to the same degree.
If you’re in a social leagues, you might even be able to meet someone.
I’d echo what others have said: if you’re having difficulty forming and maintaining romantic relationships, you might want to try therapy or some deep introspection.
I’ve only played rogue once, but they seem to have a niche as being sneakier than the rest of the party. They pile levels into detecting traps, sneaking, and getting those sweet backstabs (or whatever the class feature is called).
You’re right that adventurers often
stealliberate, but rogues in D&D have a bit more than that going on.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•So I have this ThinkPad L440, what animegirl should I use as the wallpaper?English
1·25 days agoLum would be a nice nod to the classics.
These are fantastic. The hat+mannequin seems like it would have a lot of RP potential. Ditto for the midlife crisis.
About a million people.










Go for it!
I do something similar a couple days a week. It looks just as good as a similar cut I’d get from a barber.
