My last girlfriend asked me out (she beat me to the punch by like 2 text messages, but still). It took a lot of the nerves off that relationship starting out.

Where are you finding these women? I've never dated anyone like that. Not disputing that they exist, but to take out enough of them that it's worth bitching about online may indicate a problem with the choices you're making. Plenty of women are looking for an actual connection and relationship with someone.
Except the "other" in this case are fucking Nazis. Fuck off with this tolerance bullshit. Their views are violent by their nature.
Copilot certainly isn't getting it.
The zit on my neck that won't heal because I keep picking at it.
I'd just take a red sharpie to it.
But then the line won't go up as much and the CEO won't get his bonus :(
Yeah, I've been tanking this shit at work all day long for 25 years. I think I'm about as good at it as I'm going to get.
I'm like 2 chapters in to the 3rd Dresden files book. One of my friends recommended the series to me but I'm still not really sold on it... at least they're pretty short.
“what’s the worst that could happen” when you reach for alcohol vs simply talking to people and letting yourself naturally settle.
I've literally done this hundreds of times. I don't enjoy it. At best I'm just on on edge. At worst I'm having actual panic attacks.

I'm in my 30s and I don't feel that way at all. Yeah, there's lots of shitty people or ones I don't vibe with but that's been the case my whole life. Many of the ones that I'd have considered a poor match in my early 20s have matured since then into much more likable people. If you're using dating apps though, you are probably going to get more exposure to the dregs. One of many reasons I don't touch those. You can still meet people the old fashioned way by going out and doing things. You may not find someone as quickly but you're not getting constant negativity thrown in your face.
