Rayman Legends is honestly one of the best platformers from the last 10 years. If not the best.

Its been free multiple times on Xbox live. Id be surprised you couldnt find it any cheaper...but yes its worth 20. I bought it when it was 40 years ago and loved it.

If you're looking for a life partner, remember that very few women are still going to be hot once they hit middle age. You probably won't be either. You're going to spend the majority of your life with someone not attractive, so what they look like now is not that important.


Man that couldnt be any more wrong.

Im attractive enough to get interest from girls way above my actual league...but once we meet in person they realize that Im pretty mediocre looking. I dont try to hide what I actually look like. If anything, Id say Im not photogenic at all and look better in person. But still.


Are you getting these people through online dating sites/apps, mutual friends, or what?

Because unless it's completely blind, I can't imagine their physical impression of you changes dramatically before and after the first date. It's much more likely that in person your personality/charm isn't enough to get a second date, whereas you might find it easier over text and stuff.


Online dating. Theyre not blind dates at all haha. But Im the opposite actually. I find myself way more charming than via text/messaging.

maybe you should start holding yourself to a higher standard rather than projecting it onto girls you date. Only looking for a relationship to fulfill "X" isn't gonna be good regardless of what that is.

Maybe its a confidence thing. Which I think stems from my looks...Ive been struggling with weight a bit the past few years. Im 61 and 250 lbs...but would feel way more confident if I could get down to like 210 again.

Thats probably it honestly. A lack of confidence.

Its these two.

Lose some weight. 210 is a perfectly admirable goal, I dont think you need to get fitness model thin but 250 at 61 is getting up there. I was around 250 at 64 and was a good bit bigger than Id like, now around 225 and still want to lose a bit more. Not only will that help your confidence, it also just will be good for you. Win win.

Think of working on yourself as your full time job and finding a girl as your side hustle. Itll come. Girls like a man with drive and ambition, even if its just small-time goals. It oozes that confidence.


Yeah, you right you right. Its kind of been the biggest amount of stress lately. Just dont feel all that attractive myself.

I bought a new fancy hybrid bike back in August but have barely used it until recently when I did a 12 mile ride. I need to start doing that like 1 or 2 times a week.

Really this sounds more like a problem with you not being able to get a second date with hot girls- and I honestly cant think its simply because you arent in their league. If that were the case, you wouldnt have gotten a first date.
So maybe look at what other things youre doing to make them feel meh on first dates. What do you talk about, are you funny/charming, are you trying too hard? What?
I dont necessarily think you need to lower your standards, you may just need to work on yourself or your dating skills, or just wait for a girl you connect with.


I mean. Personality wise, I think Im fine. I hold conversations well, make the girl laugh a lot usually, joke around, make it light and casual, dont say awkward things or really am that awkward on the date. Maybe Im a bit nervous at first, but I usually open up pretty fast.

Maybe its a confidence thing. Which I think stems from my looks...Ive been struggling with weight a bit the past few years. Im 61 and 250 lbs...but would feel way more confident if I could get down to like 210 again.

Because the actual process of finding a girl to date is exhausting and kind of hurts when Im getting rejected...almost not worth it to find a girl Im actually into.

I keep meeting these SUPER attractive girls who are clearly leagues above me. But thats what Im attracted to. Im not into big girls at all. Like. A little bit thick is fine, but if shes got a gut Im not interested at all.

All of the girls Ive ever dated have been super thin, attractive girls. My last gf was not as thin, and honestly I started to lose attraction to her.

So...should I just lower my standards? And date a girl Im not that attracted to but at least has a decent personality? I know what I like, and I dunno if I can get past looks when it comes to dating. Yeah Im a shitty, shallow person. So what?

Welp. Then she sent me another long video snap of her talking about how she hates doing this...but that she didnt really feel a romantic connection between us. Even though she kissed me?

You win some you lose some. At least she's being upfront about it and not leading you on. Don't resent her for it and don't try to overanalyze it, just move on and dont get hung up on it


This one stings a bit though. Finally decided to put myself out there again after not dating anyone for 6 months since I broke up with my last girlfriend.

Finally felt ready to meet someone new. Was SO excited because I thought we hit it off.

It takes two to make a thing go right tho. If she wasnt feeling it then that's that, even if you were and thought she was, she apparently wasnt. And was probably being polite, it's just as hard to reject people as it is to be rejected, especially if you don't actually dislike the other person, but if you're just not feeling the spark then you don't jump into a relationship just because.

It stings, it stings for anybody, but dont let that be a reason for not putting yourself out there in the future. You wouldn't have even gotten that far at all if you didnt put yourself out there in the first place. These things just come with the territory, just try again, and just know it may happen again, but eventually you'll find one that clicks for both parties. But you won't get that if you shut it all down.


Thats a good point. Thanks for the words of encouragement man, its much appreciated.

Like. Can you imagine just truly living off the land? Chopping your own wood, living out in the woods. Having no AC air or electricity.

I had this uncle who decided to live out in a cabin up in the woods in Maine. He had no running water. He was a perfectly sane dude, just preferred to live that kind of life. He died earlier this year from skin cancer, sadly. He really enjoyed nature.

I fear for our generation who does nothing but sit inside and never experience the world. Its crazy to me that there are people out there whove never gone camping, or made a camp fire.

I guess I sound like some hippy right about now...

Like what a MASSIVE waste of time


This I do agree with. Was fairly depressing seeing him go back to his old ways and ruin things with Robin.

I think were supposed to realize that Barneys character struggled with finding his identity, and tried making a change. In the end, his roots were just too embedded into his own character to let them go.

Obvious spoilers.

The actual mother dying, then Ted getting back with Robin is exactly how it was supposed to happen. Ted always loved Robin. She always loved him. They were perfect together.

The whole moral of the story of HIMYM is that the timing of relationships are hardly ever ideal. If youre lucky, youll find the right girl at the right time. If youre slightly less lucky, youll find the right girl at the wrong time. If your heart keeps telling you over and over and over again to go for a girl, just do it!

I dont know why people hated the ending. It was tragic and perfect and sweet all at the same time. Its exactly what had defined HIMYM for season after season.

Dating is exhausting and tiring. Thought that girl and I hit it off great on the date. Even kissed her at the end and she kissed back and was really adorable about it.

Oh well. Why should things ever work out in my favor? People just dont like me for whatever reason. Meh. Guess this is just what itll be like from now on.

You guys dogging on asking a girl if they want to kiss, just know that I've pulled that same move before and it's shown some pretty high success rate. It sounds cheesy as fuck I know, but it's up front and chicks seem to think it's cute from my experience.


Its endearing to a lot of girls. Cute and innocent, basically.

Although does make you look fairly beta. If shes wanting a strong, aggressive guy...asking to kiss will be lame to her.
