    Basically I think GZ wanted the shuttle so the group could go from bounty to bounty while GZ takes a detour for a tiny bit to grab stuff, in character.

    Out of character it allows me to easily grab stuff in between sessions without it being a weird thing where the crew is constantly being brought to a criminal asteroid because GZ wants to buy two grams of neurotoxin.

    hmm this is interesting

    I wonder how many are presenting what they think is their most romantic/appealing side

    All of them except for the frustrated misanthropes with passive-aggressive profiles.

    I won't lie.

    The biggest I think anxiety maker with breaking up with the now ex-Mazzxx, I am keeping this moniker around though because it is so fantastic, is that I have go back into search mode at some point.

    I find nothing more soul crushing than modern dating.

    But also again, thanks to the ex I have a better idea of what I am looking for. Which is good.

    Also still have the statistical luck of being in a major city with more single women than men.

    Ya know. I know my shortcomings. I know I'm boring. But damn. I thought there would be more women who would, you know, enjoy a quite evening at home a bit more.

    I think people often oversell themselves, but that still surprises me. I got a ton of women who liked sitting at home doing nerdy things and watching Netflix. Maybe that is regional+queer bias.

    I'm starting to wonder if it's like resumes. People are so used to putting The Standard Bullshit that it's just the thing to do. Like. I feel like I should put "I love travel" just cause I could really care less but don't want that strike against me.

    I don't think that people generally are like "wait people love when people love travel, so I LOVE TRAVEL"

    I think it's more "I kinda like travel, even if I don't do it much, and this makes me appear good, so I really like travel is what I'll put on the site."

    But I dunno, I didn't really lie or stretch truths on mine, except that the exact piano music I was learning changed and I didn't bother to update it.

    best bro's sister refuses to even look at a guy below 6'2

    but if he's over 6'5 that's no good either

    also her current boyfriend (who isn't the typical comes-from-money stuck-up douche that she usually dates so we hope he sticks around) is a bit less fit than the guys she usually dates so she made him go running with her one. which, ok, great that's a fun couples activity and exercise is healthy and so on, but then she starts giving him shit because he can't keep up with a 9 minute/mile pace and he pushed himself too hard and tore his ACL.

    Yeah, if you're under 6 feet tall you're pretty much screwed.

    It's great because average height is like 5'8 and 5'9 depending on what demographic you're basing it off of.

    "Hi I'd like you to be in the 90th percentile of men" isn't really going to help you dating, but I guess with women where men are basically throwing dongers at you left and right you gotta cut down the pool substantially.

    No.

    I got lucky. Also took debt to get the degree and skills to get into the area I wanted to work in. And even then spent a couple of years building contacts to get into the actual work.

    Doesn't hurt what I like doing is an in demand skill.

    And also a skill that has a lot of make the world a better place applications.

    At this point out of my grad school friends all of them have jobs that are not what you are describing. Took us even with MAs and skills years to get there.

    I noticed the last time I went dancing that men taller than 6' usually have no idea how to dance

    Presumably because dance partners instinctively circle them like Mayflower poles, so why would they need to actually impress anyone?
