If the woman expects men to pay for everything on a date, then should she bother dating at all?

No fault of their own. Their partner died and wants to be loved just like anyone else.

I Don’t know if you are aware but the Governor of Texas is defying President Biden’s orders to remove the barbwire placed on the Texas border and has the Texas Guard enforcing the placement of the barbwire.

I have never been a big fan of music. I mostly stick to my genre of rock/metal or alternative rock/metal with few exceptions. I listen to some eminem and a few scattered pop songs here and there. My playlist grossed about 300 songs, and I was happy with it. If I wanted new music, I would listen to the radio or go on over to Pandora.

My wife (29F) has much larger music taste, especially in pop, which has a much larger library to choose from. She has around 4 thousand songs in her playlist, and her favorite is Taylor Swift (I detest her music, but have no opinion of her personally).

My wife doesn't like to drive when we are together and calls herself "passenger princess." Sometimes, I ask her to drive, and she just refuses, so I just drive because it takes little energy. Anyway, in the car, she has been complaining for ages that I don't have enough music variety, and she keeps hearing the same songs every couple of days (luck of the shuffle play, I guess). I just look at her and say, "It is what it is." And "I like what I like." I started skipping songs if we had heard them in the past few days, so its something different.

Fast forward to today, and I got to work and go to turn on my spotify and hear some random pop song. So I looked, and my playlist went from 300 something to 1.5k, and it's all pop music and every single taylor Swift song that exists. I feel absolutely livid and now its gonna take me all morning to go and remove these songs one by one using my phone (it'd be much faster on my laptop, but I dont have that on me). I want to confront her so bad, but I am thinking that's the AH move. First thing that popped into my head when I calmed down slightly was that she isn't letting me be my own person, as if I have to be some weird almalgimation of a combination of our personalitys and nothing can be just mine. Am I right to be angry? Am I the asshole?

Tldr; Wife didn't like the lack of variety in my playlist, so she added over 1k songs to it w/out permission

Two common yet contradictory complaints women have about men is that they are hitting on them and that they are not hitting on them.

But which one do you find more annoying?

You talk with them and they don’t even mention they have a boyfriend. Like you can send them money and they even send you spicy pics and they don’t even mention their boyfriend. For me I think they ought to say hey don’t send me money I got a boyfriend or even hey I got a boyfriend. What do you think?

If you started dating someone and they revealed that they're a nudist, would you still be interested?

Which type are you, generally speaking, on the verbosity scale?

Friend DM: How have you been?

I am quite ticklish and get tickled often. When I want to tickle them back, it often turns out that they are not ticklish. Maybe I'm overlooking certain places, so that's why I'm asking where you are most ticklish. Then maybe I can finally get my payback.

So I’m at a bit of a crossroads, and thought I’d ask on here. To get right to it, I’m 30 and have no dating experience and never been in a relationship. Usually on Valentine’s Day, I go to the casino to play slot machines while I drink and vape THC oil as it helps lessen the blow that I’ve been alone my whole life. But just the other day, I heard an ad on the radio that the station airing the ad is hosting a singles mixer. Now I can’t decide what to do, but I am reluctant to go to the singles mixer because I feel like where I’m at in my life will get me written off by all women. Not only do I have no experience at 30, but I also still live at home with my parents, all I do for work is deliver for DoorDash, and I don’t have any friends. Asking what you do for work is one of the most common icebreaker questions and saying that all I do is DoorDash at 30 is more than likely gonna get looked down upon. So maybe I should try and improve these aspects of my life and go next year.

I have automation (AI, robotics, IoT) and social media, as well as a side hustle involving tech consulting
