arinThis seems like it’s coming from an attractive person who doesn’t understand how easy being attractive makes dating
Except, you know, attractiveness is subjective, and heavily influenced by your personality
Don’t sell yourself short
Nah, that could easily have a landed as a joke instead of a brain fart. And being funny is about 80-90% as good as being physically attractive.
I would rather have someone that’s conventionally unattractive and funny than the hottest person in the world with the personality of a wet sponge
Not even necessarily. Hot enough is hot enough, you don’t stay in a relationship because someone is hot (unless you’re shallow), you stay in because the person inside the body is someone you want to be with. Also one part of maturity is realizing that sex is better with someone who looks fine but is fun to be with than someone who looks great but isn’t
Nothing about this is strange. Oh, someone made a weird comment about my oxygen content! Oh, maybe that person thinks I have real plants in my place!? What do? Fuck that person. Literally, have sex with them.
I mean it’s probably true, if you can take care of a ton of plants, your place is obviously well maintained. Plants are hard af, Ive failed at every attempt. If someone complimented my air, I would be ecstatic
I figured, I’d get one of those standard issue succulents, because they’re supposed to be easy to care for, and now it decided to grow a 30 cm stalk, when the rest of the plant is just 5 cm tall.
Like, what the hell, dude. Am I supposed to cut it off? I don’t even know what kind of succulent it is, so I can’t look it up either. I’ve just been letting it grow and hoping that it doesn’t entwine my whole place. 🫠
That sometimes happens if you water em too much, they hardly need any. Like drops per month if that. You can trim the stalk back if you don’t like it, kinda want to see the plant
Plant people on Reddit help identify plants from a photo. Might work here on Lemmy too.
Plants are actually kind of easy. If you want to try again:
- Choose the right plants. Yes, some plants are hard to keep and need specific environments. Avoid those, other plants are able to grow on a parking lot in the summer
- Some plants need direct sunlight, others like the shade. Some plants need a lot of water, others not. This is written on this little cardboard thingy when you buy them
Yeah, and that’s it. Buy plants that don’t need much maintenance and you’re fine. Maybe set a reminder to water them.
This is gloriously dumb and I love it. “The oxygen at your place must be mad crisp” is peak, unapologetic nonsense, and apparently nonsense works on some people. Respect.
Also lowkey jealous. Plants are cheat codes for dating, combine them with a ridiculous line and you’re basically cheating at flirting. Stealing this one for later, no shame.
It’s actually fake news though, the amount of plants you’d actually need in your house to have an impact on the oxygen level is kinda crazy.
How many plants do you need to breathe? TESTED
What even is the next step after getting an atractive person’s number, sending them memes?
AnUnusualRelicYou just add it to the list of other such numbers, I don’t think you’re supposed to do anything with them. They’re probably used as random seeds or something.
OwlSerious answer: depends on what you’re into and what you’re looking for.
I’ve been married a while and I still send my wife memes. Sharing random jokes we found on the internet makes up a big part of our messaging thread, in addition to normal topics of communication (whether we want to go to a thing, what time we’ll likely get home from work, what do we want for dinner, can you check to see if we have enough cheese to make this thing I want to make, you won’t believe what this asshole said to me at work, etc.).
But the memes are still a big part of our communication, after pretty much starting that way. Our early texts were both coordination of in-person dates, and funny things that made each other laugh.
The handful of relationships I had that started in the smartphone era basically followed that pattern. There were some duds that fizzled out between getting a number and not ever making it to a date, but I don’t think I’d want to be with someone who didn’t enjoy my communication style. Which, again, is heavily meme based.
Ask them out the next day? Did everybody forget to function as human beings while I was away.
Playing an online co-op game is an idea, but probably not for a first date.
Mall? Wait, sorry. 90s TV taught me how to date.
“I hope this text finds you well…”
I had to send a soulless corporate emai(my first)l to one of my devs who fucked up pretty big. I ran it through copilot and it told me my opening paragraph was to emotional. I’ve worked with the guy for 7 years and been his boss for 3. The email was about accountability and communication which I probably should have sent 2 years ago.
Just out of curiosity, did you take the edit? You guys have longstanding relationship and genuine human connection is one of the most important things in the world to me, it’s sad to think of corporate perspective being that tightly enforced. Can’t be good for the living, breathing people behind those processes :(
Think I’d rather get yelled at, thanks for sharing your perspective here at least. I do have further questions re: management by LLM but don’t want to confront you with em, hope your day’s going well
Wherever you land on a 1-10 scale of attractiveness you’ll get about +2 to +3 if you’re funny.
Having a lot of plants in your house is also a +2 or +3. That’s how Poison Ivy seduces people.
Lol I need to use this on more people
well damn bro congratulations
RickyRigatoniThis is exactly what you should say to someone with a lot of plants.
Real talk, if you have to fake it with your significant other, maybe you should rethink things.
I’m glad I can be my normal goofy self with my wife.
Things that are endearing when you know someone might be offputting when you don’t know then. Faking it when you are with someone is definitely not the way but showing some restraint with some of the more unique character traits when you get to know someone can be helpful at times.
On one hand true, on the other hand awkward flirtation isn’t such a situation. I’m married to someone I started talking to with a stupid pickup line aimed at her and another woman at the same time. Be a curated version of yourself
Dating tip: If they like you, you can do no wrong. If they don’t like you, you can do no right.
