Things You Are Stoked On But Not Stoked On

[Peepeeboy69]

Went on a date with a girl I've crushed on for a year, but never really talked to. Were in some student organizations together (I'm just an occasional member, she's president). Just kind of hit her up on IG and she said she was down.

Date went great, more of a "get to know" each other than a date, but she seemed stoked on me and I'm stoked on her too. Said she definitely wants to do this again.

Not stoked cause she's a really shit texter. She runs a lot of student organizations and is really involved with her dance team and such and schoolwork, while I'm on a super dry internship where I sit around all day doing nothing for money.

Had shit lined up last week, but she had something come up and had to cancel. I had some small gifts for her for Chinese New year so I walked a mile in the rain to her dance studio to give her the gifts. She seemed happy, not super stoked but whatever. Then she said she's busy this week.

Idk man really happy I went on the date with her and felt like we have good chemistry, but she literally never texts me and I'm always trying to arrange stuff while she doesn't. Kind of thinking about moving on bc realistically, we went on one date which doesn't really count for anything, but I like her a lot. I'm pretty sure one of her friends was into me but I feel like if i ask her out I'll bone myself out of this girl and she might even say no cause of feeling like a second choice or smth.

Sounds like you could possibly be coming on too strong, if she's super busy and you have a lot of time and your constantly texting her and shes overwhelmed with other responsibilities she might feel like it's a lot (speculation of course), even the walking in the rain haha couldnt you have waited a day or so?

Took the car in for check engine ...time for a new car.

Looking for a new car is kinda fun but not  looking forward to new monthly payments

it sucks having a car payment, but you win in other ways like knowing your car will start each and every time you put your key in the ignition

  Its pretty cool u got that date tho.  Like she agreed to go out once, that means youve got a few shreads of sex appeal, anyway.  Gotta look at the positives.  She might have been rooting for u but showing up rain soaked with gifts having not kissed her yet will get the panties back up in short order.   Remember to treat urself good.

It's true that women like a "bad boy" or whatever, but the thing that they really like about those dudes is that they don't give that much of a fuck about making people happy. They know what to do and when to do it to please people but otherwise they are able to do their own thing, thus, they can get shit done that they need to do be successful (powerful and maybe also rich) men. That's the whole trick to it all that I've kinda figured out over the years. Then, when a dude gives time for their partner, they feel good about it.

I'm not a scumbag, but I really do think this is the dynamic that works best most of the time. Don't be a wimp. Do you first. Be successful. Then once your own shit is in order give whatever is left to your partner or potential partner.

tldr: don't walk a mile in the rain to give gifts to a girl you had one date with. It seems like a nice gesture, but to her, you might seem desperate.

Do that only if you really really fucked up and want to get her back.

Good luck! Relationships are pretty fucking confusing.

Yea, just to take it easy and ignore everything you've ever seen in every romantic comedy. Big gestures early on (or ever) can be overwhelming/scary. Be nice, but don't go super far out of your way. I've had the most success when things are just casual.

But, yea, even if things don't go anywhere with this girl, just be glad that you got to that first date. If you got that date w/a girl who is this awesome, there will be other women as well. Especially, if you are still in school. The numbers are totally on your side. There are so many single people in school, you will have plenty of other choices.


I think the "bad boy" appeal is just the fun/lack of responsibility. Everything is super fun when there is no worry about the consequences. Spend the night doing coke? Who cares about work or grocery money. Go out until 2AM drinking on a weekday? Fuck it, let's have fun now. It is just fun and it feels good not to worry about anything. It gives them an excuse to act like shit and be super hedonistic as well.

Going through all of the shit we had to pack away and finding things I've been looking for is nice, but smelling the old home on our curtains, some clothing, etc. nearly brought me to tears yesterday.
I'm not necessarily upset that they still smell like that.
It's just the memories that come with those scents.

Anyone ever have any problem climaxing during sex?

The girl I’ve been seeing things have been going pretty well and we’re pretty steady having sex and lately she’s been getting off everytime and that’s always a sick feeling, but I’m like 5050 with it. I used to blame it on drunk/cocaine or whatever but we’ve had some sober sex at times and even those times I’ve had a few issues.

I think I was watching a lot of porn and jerking off a lot before seeing her and days I’m not around her I still do so I’m just gonna try and cut back on that a lot.

I haven’t had to run my heater once this winter but have been burning wood the entire time. It’s primally dope, plus I get wood as a perk of my work.
Now almost all the cord+ I’ve cut is gone. Everything I have access to is wet. But it feels good to self heat the house.
Fuck a gas bill.


As for the previous rant about being the bad boy. Just do both yo. Hold down your profession and scholastic pursuits while simultaneously exploring drugs, aggressively writing graffiti, and grow some side hustles. Win-fucking-win my guy!

[ClownOfTheDay]

Been busy lately with a lot of work. Stoked I'm not bored. Not stoked on some of it.

Happens sometimes, it's not a big thing unless she starts getting in her own head about it. I used to look at it as a very pleasant workout. As long as she is enjoying it and you're having fun, it is all good.

Goddamn man I know how that goes. I didn't get my first great condition car until I was like 27, when I bought pre-owned. After driving nothing but shitty cars all my life I was screaming on the road so happy. I proceeded to fly off the road in a desert state park like a month later, and fucked up the bumper and the body under the door, but that ain't the point, she still runs.

My first car some dude had to show me how to like tap a wire to the starter to get that shit going, it was always sketchy and you always needed someone to turn the key at the time you did it. Then my next car I always used to park way up the driveway so I could roll back, get enough speed and jump start it in reverse. Became a pro at jump starting for a while.

yeah luckily she understands I had a girl who was really bummed about it before and got way to invested into the idea of it being her fault and that just wasn’t fun.

Smells bring back the strongest memories (for me at least)
Good and bad

My dad intentionally bought me a shitty ass $600 car that required maintenance every other time i needed to start it.
1990 Toyota camry.. the seatbelt moved back automatically when it started.
One time, one of the belts under the hood broke, and i had no money for a tow. My homie took the laces from 2 pairs of old shoes out of my trunk and made a makeshift belt for me to drive home as best as i could.
I needed to go about 3 miles, and we made it to the apartment parking lot i lived in after an hour, and just pushed it into a parking space.
Fucking great memories lol

My father used to buy horrible used cars all my childhood (many embarrassing situations came out of this) and my mom's cars that I could drive after first getting my license weren't much better. Had quite a few embarrassing breakdowns in our small little town. One of the weirdest ones was the second generation VW Golf (Rabbit in the USA) with a plastic front bumper that would fall off quite easily.

At one occasion I actually scraped a car with a little bit (plastic doesn't do much against metal fortunately) while backing out of a parking space and that fucker fell off after 100m while I did a left turn and I did not realize it. After I noticed was it was gone, I went back to retrieve it only to have cops see me do it. They questioned me about how this happened and I lied successfully, but what a fucking sketchy situation.

Luckily for me though, my first car was brand new - I won a small car in 2012! I then realized what a joy it is to have brand new car that doesn't break down (it never did in the 6.5 years I had it), so my wife and I upgraded it with a new car and not a used one. Meanwhile our friends insist on buying "lightly used" (high mileage, but only a few years old) cars too boost their ego, so they can flaunt a bigger car than ours and then have it in the shop most of the time.

Stoked I won, but still waiting for my nintendo switch prize and 12 games from that lunchables sweepstakes. They said 8-10 weeks. Just got confirmation they finally began shipping the prizes today. So definitely over the time estimate haha. Super excited, but also not stoked it's taking so long, I have no patience

[CrumblingInfrastructure]

My works been pretty awful. I started getting panic attacks on my days off and the enviroment was terrible for the people and the dogs. I ended up quitting last sunday in the middle of the night before my shift. I ended getting hired at another place two days later for more pay and a much less stressful enviroment... I sort of also updated my dogs profile pictures at work to me holding them and flipping off the cameras. Not my most shining moment but the thought of them pulling up my dogs photos one of these days to find a photo of me shootin’ them the bird is just really hilarious to me. Either way im never taking my dogs there again.

So stoked to be gone and already have a new job lined up.

Not stoked by being unprofessional.

Stoked but Not stoked on photo thing.

I have an interview with Netflix on Monday. I'm a good fit for the job, have a couple referrals from friends there so feel confident in it.

What I'm stoked on is their total compensation packages being much higher than most.

What I'm not stoked on is the prospect of possibly leaving my current job and if I get/take the job over there if I'll regret it. I work at a big tech company now and have it pretty good. Travel a decent amount, work from home most days, boss is super chill and some people on my team are my closest friends. Eventually, if it all goes well, I'll be at a fork in the road and trying to decide what's more important to me - a 30%+ raise or healthy work/life balance.

This is the worst.

Every time I've taken a more stressful job for more $$$ I've spent all the extra cash on booze and other vices to help me cope with the stress. I've learned it doesn't work for me. But everyone is different. Hope you figure it out.

Lots of snow here in Colorado, so stoked to snowboard all weekend with some good homies.

But because of the weather it took 9 hours to drive to copper, usually takes about 2.

I was just told Saturday night that I would be getting a promotion and a raise at work. I come in on Sunday to work on inventory (new responsibility) and Monday night I'm told that I won't actually get the promotion or the raise until I finish a trial period of an undetermined length.

It was really just a miscommunication between my chef and the owner. I'm upset it wasn't immediate but hey, I'm still getting a raise in the next month or so.
