My ex after I ghosted her has one of her friends add me on Snapchat and send me a video of them at a party. I blocked the friend as well. Should I have dealt with that situation better ?

A girl I met today we had a good chat she is leaving in a month she told where she was from and her name, I forgot to ask her Facebook or number, after quick search I found her on fb now. Is it weird if I message her there or would be stalkish?

After my divorce 4 months ago I have been with 8 women ranging from 8 to 5 and I can honestly say I don’t enjoy sex anymore. How do I stop comparing everything to my ex ?

Say something interesting about your work.

Instead of "Computer Engineer", say: "I make sure your bank transactions are safe", instead of "Project Manager", say "I manage construction sites". Spice it up.

[–]IRideParkCity4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

As if a construction project manager isn't already a ballin ass title...

“You know those Christian websites where you can get movies with the sex and violence and profanity edited out and they’re, like, 25 minutes long? Well, little known fact, but that’s actually the way the director shot the film. My job is to put the sex and violence and profanity into the movie before it’s released in the theater. It’s cheaper for the studios to do it that way.”

[–]Iwannachokekatie0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Have you ever tried that one?

[–]2SirKolbath0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I have no idea. I don't keep track of the random jokes I say to women. My frame is structured around the concept that I am going to do and say what is funny and entertaining to me at the time. I don't care if anybody else gets the joke or finds me funny. The object is to make myself laugh.

In all honesty, most women under the age of 25 are so self-centered and absorbed in their own sollipsism that they won't even understand this joke, even if they can track from one end of the sentence to the next. Most of them have gone their whole lives being cute and getting other people to do their thinking for them, so they probably won't get this. It's just going to be noise that fills the air spaces between compliments she receives from beta orbiters.

It's a good way to weed out shitty prospects. If this gets a natural laugh, or even a sarcastic rejoinder that shows she put some thought into it and actually got the jokes, she might be worth pursuing.

I make soap.

Seriously just answer with what you do, but make it sound a bit interesting.

[–]yosin128 points9 points10 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

You answer by saying what you do for work.

"I save the world"... or "I'm the one who brings in the bucks". (I work in sales so it is true). Never answer directly, let their hamster go at it for a while.

[–]ohmeingott22 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Came here to pretty much say this. I personally like using "I sell drugs" and then change the topic.

[–]ReddJive1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

huh.

why not just answer the question?

I get the whole be funny...yet You aren't here to entertain her like a damn circus clown.

it's more be fun, be upbeat. Meaning don't act like your job is a drag. Answer the damn question. Sometimes this shit ain't that hard.

[–]ohmeingott22 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

You don't directly answer the question because women often ask this question to filter men or get them to qualify themselves to her.

Don't want play her little game when she ask what you do? Tell her "I sell drugs."

[–]ReddJive0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Keep running a script.

Tone. Demeanor and environment play a role. Sometimes a question is just a question.

[–]Endorsed ContributorMetalgear2221 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Be vague. If it's something socially related, you can expand on it as it adds social proof.

[–]lost_dude110 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I am a nurse. But this girl was down to meet up and when I said I will be at work and suggested an alternative she asked me that.

[–]Freenorthman0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Better say you make soap then 😂

[–]bluefingerblue0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Couple pointer’s. You can give a joke answer at first. “I do absolutely nothing. I sit in my moms basement and eat 12 bags of Cheetos every day.” Then when she laughs you can say “no I actually...”

The other pointer is grounding it in your reality. So for example rather than just saying “I’m a nurse” you can say “well when I was growing up I always wanted to be an engineer, but as I got older I realized how much I like dealing with people. And that’s when I realized being a nurse was a great fit for my personality and interests. It’s awesome I love it.”

[–]sometimespredictable0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

“I do absolutely nothing. I sit in my moms basement and eat 12 bags of Cheetos every day.”

"Hahahhaa you're so funny :)"

"No actually I prefer Doritos"

You mentioned the word 'joke'. Here is one about Chuck Norris:

Chuck Norris uses a night light. Not because Chuck Norris is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris.

[–]Senior EndorsedMattyAnon0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I very concisely say what I do in an interesting way.

If I was an accountant, I'd say "I juggle after the finances of multinationals".

If I was a lawyer, I'd say "I fight for justice" or if you wanna be funny, "I help criminals walk free".

I'm an ass model

I'm an astronaut

I'm a horse jockey (especially if you're a big guy)

I feel like saying that I sell chewing gum to homeless people so they can eat but still be hungry.
