Online dating is pointless as a guy

I never use dryers, they're a waste of energy and the clothes smell musty. I hang the wet clothes outside on a nice day and leave them there, or on a clothes horse inside on a wet day and leave them there. Probably 15-20 minutes work all up for 3 loads.



All low paying jobs are usually unpleasant. When I first started working, I got paid $7 an hour before tax and the job was awful. I think you should try to ask at places with a more pleasant environment. Asking at places works well, going for advertised jobs does not. The second store I asked in a few years ago gave me a job. Worth a try.



I am a business analyst, and it's emotionally an intellectually fast paced and exhausting. But it's good for me. Otherwise I'd mope at home and feel sorry for myself. Usually I try to dedicate a few hours every day to hobbies, but some nights after a really bad day I go to bed at 8pm. I picked up a new hobby last week - Metal detecting, and have been going to beaches most evenings to try to find coins, which is fun.



I'm sure you have. But it's clearly not working for you as you continue to moan about it. With better planning and more efficiency, you can free up a lot of time.



Been there. I don't think you would want to go back to that. I don't blame you.



I wouldn't suggest that. I would rather be a hermit than have someone around simply because I'd paid them. What a dumb idea. You deserve better than that.

What’s a washing line? Is it like a laundry line? If so no most a,ericans don’t use them we don’t have the space. Pretty much everyone uses dryers even the poor go to laundry mats which have industrial dryers. To us laundry lines were things our grandparents used in the 1940s and things we only see in movies. They don’t hardly even sell clothes pins anymore.

I can’t earn money under table it’s illegal. Since government has to take their cut and reduce my government aid. The more money I earn the less money I actually have.
It’s the 2nd largest population area. There’s no where better lol. I’d hate to live in Portland as they hate people like me and they crime ridden like any majorly City.
There’s a movie theater, shopping center, restaurants and stores. Even some bars.
Most stuff happens in Eugene. Most people in Springfield just go over there for stuff. They do have 100,000 more people then us after all. They have a lot of hipsters and hipster clubs, there’s a performance theater, a big theater that has musical preformces. The fair grounds is there too which is where events happen like gun shows, and trade shows. The have two malls. Bunch more stores, two Walmart’s.
Pof has singles meet ups at bars over there. Mostly guys it seems and i dont know what’d I’d do as I don’t drink or dance,back when I had a car I almost went to one.
Eugene also has few hiking parks if you can drive.
Springfield just seems to be where people live or work. Probably might become part of Eugene in the distant future. Like my area became part of Springfield.

Does your city have loads of stuff in it? As far as I know Portland is the only city in oregon with loads of activists besides coast tourist attraction cities. Portland has convention center, museums, art exhibits, fancy restaurants, zoo, singles meet ups, speed dating, etc. I’ve only been once or twice. I’ve been to smaller towns though and they have a lot less then we do. My ex friends town had one movie theater and they played the same movie for weeks and they had s bowling alley til it burned down. So they’d go see kids movies multiple times. My city has a 17 theater theater. We get all kinds of movies. Our bowling alley became a car lot though. But technically we have a mini golf place , mean it’s in a 3rd city but if I remember they chose to sort of join us. They squeezed between us and Eugene. I didn’t even know they weren’t part of Eugene til A few years ago lol. We have parks also. And two swimming pools. I live near the cool one. But no the night life is in Eugene I hear. I’ve never been downtown at night. I haven’t actually been downtown in years.

This is the Springfield meet up page. But look how most of them are in Eugene.

I did want to asttend a adhd meet up but they meet on the outer edge of Eugene
Side note you’d think a Austisti meet up would happen in the afternoon on a bus route.

No laundry lines?

Bonkers.

So glad I don't live in America. Weird culture.

This is your typical average New Zealand back yard. https://bebetoocool.files.wordpress.com ... ealand.jpg

Rich people still have washing lines, they just look nicer.

Holy sh*t.

No laundry lines?

Learn somethin new every day.

I know how kinky my neighbors are from what they put on laundry lines.

I swear I saw a slip with a bunny-tail hanged there.

Problem is I have to say good morning every morning to these folks without bursting in laugher.

When weight lifting you meet people don't you. That sounds like a place to meet friends. Maybe it is possible for you to go to a laundry mat. That is a place where you can meet people. Even your job is a place you encounter people, fellow employees and customers. And are you the only person on the bus? If you see a cute girl doing something like playing a game on her phone that you also play you could use that as a way to start a conversation. say something like, "I see your playing whatsit. I love that game. What's your highest score? Develop a positive attitude and others will be drawn to you which will only reinforce your positiveness.

Now that is funny.

I use to live in a neighborhood that had old 1940s houses moved from a military base some of their back yards had poles like that sticking out of the ground I wondered what they were. Do you still use 1950s washing machines too :p

One of the neighbors had one of those in their garage.

As I and other men here have been told by women. Don’t bother women out and about they don’t want to be bothered by men. Only clubs and bars are ok to approach women.

Also currently I’m just doing cardio to lose weight. But everyone including me has headphones in at the gym. Bus too by the way. People are very anti social now adays.

No one at work likes me except one or two people. I don’t work on the floor like everyone else my department is up stairs out of the way and away from everyone else they only come up when forced to give us breaks and they hate spending 15 mins up there. It’s probably the worse department in the store to work in. It has high turn over

Laundry lines aren’t 1950s, they’re economical and sensible, something that a lot of Americans don’t seem to be.

I don’t want to be approached in clubs and bars. You can approach women anywhere, but you just have to think about whether it’s appropriate or sensible.

Why do you bother paying for the gym? Go for a walk. It’s faster and free. This is what I mean about intelligent spending of time and money.

With the price of power here there's no way I could afford to use a dryer.

What makes you so sure that within those 300 million people, there is no one economical and sensible?

Pretty sure I didn’t say all Americans. But if they mostly all use dryers, well it’s a good example.

They're still quite common in Canada. I had one in my back yard growing up, a line running from the back of our house to a pole by the back fence that you could access from the back porch, and my grandmother had one like the one in hale_bopp's photo. I don't have an external one now because I live in an apartment building, but lots of houses here still do. I do have a drying rack that I use sometimes for delicates and things that can't go in the dryer or if I'm short on change for the dryers and trying to save money. If you point a fan at it it doesn't take long for clothes to dry on it. It was really cheap, too. It looks like this:

See this is the problem with the English language we don't know what we both are implying. I've had this issue with my family. I probably need to read a dictionary and thesarus, I'm probably not expressing myself clearly. In my mind I have everything perfectly worded for myself to understand, but with other people it is very confusing for them to picture what I'm talking about.
