@jestdotty
im EXTREMELY conservative (not republican\democrat)...
several years ago on a dating site (one that's not advertised to the random public), I caught the interest of this kid (was my age-- mid 20s at the time... i think). I didnt have my views listed in any obvious way.
He was a bleeding heart liberal that almost immediately told me he was on track to graduate college (undergrad i think) and run for some form of state rep.
The idea of anything in my realm of relationships with someone so polar opposite was intriguing, nearly kinky.
So I figured id chat with him...
-Never lived on his own.
-Never held an adult job\paid bills
-His 'i understand minorities and ghettos' proof was a single story about being in a car with 3 suddenly "best friends" 2 were black and he was in the detroit ghetto (nearly suburbia, he named roads)
-"deep understanding" of poverty "almost 6wks my dad and I had to survive off only 50$\wk for food... dads diabetic!"
too adorable for my tastes -
@retoor
hes also 5ft 4 and apparently lives in a motorhome
all his pics look like a serial killer... but i question his ability to kill once, much less evade capture enough to qualify for a series.

@awesomeest totally call number, nothing to lose

@awesomeest his face is wider than expected...

@Demolishun @retoor
yeah... didnt check if devrant killed the photos again. that said, its not THAT exaggerated
i did call... i don't remember if it had a voicemail or not... if it did,i definitely left a msg, if not, i def sent a text... no response -
@awesomeest what's a motorhome?
When you install a program and you realize just beat a world record.
So I needed a break from all the straight computer logic for days... so i figured i had 2 options, argue with chatGPT or go back to a dating app.
I chose the latter.
Im ocd with notifs... i NEED the bubble to be gone.
Found this gem...
"Hey beautiful Sara ;) my names is James king it very nice 2 meet u wow u look like a angel that fall from heaven 😘u mind me of a rose because how beautiful you are am how beautiful the rose is am I the best guy on badoo that u would ever talk with on badoo I actually look for Friendship and relationship ;) how are u today am wyd"
So... because im curious, esp when it comes to perplexing linguistics... im def gonna ask if English is his 1st language.
Normally i can tell within a sentence or 2... even tend to know their native tongue by then... this one has me stumped.
Anyone wanna guess if hes a native English speaker???
Maybe ill make a modest prize poolif there's a few entrants.
(he has plenty of pics so ill be able to legally find out in a few min... but ill wait til i dont get a response for a week)
Ill probably make a script to strip out the auto-messages... replying with an auto ofc... and the mundane crap that shows they definitely didnt go beyond the pics.
random
apps
social decline
