potential new bf


Poof

Recommended Posts

But he lives in Iowa. I've never ever been to Iowa. I don't even know what happens there. 

He is so beautiful so perfect. I might have to break lockdown for the first time in 2 months to go see him this week.

We've been talking for like a year. The way he's been lately tho has me convinced, and I told him that I think I'm ready to come see him as soon as I can.

I'm concerned about covid of course but one flight might be alright? He's been locked down and we're going to stay locked down together if I come out. We're not going to go anywhere. Plus it's Iowa, is there anywhere to go??

Ummm that's not a good idea. He could be dangerous, and you haven't met him yet, so calling him your bf is... well... 😳😳😳

But he's so alpha!

For real tho u actually have a point. I don't let ppl in easily. We've been talking for a year. I trust him enough. I know where he works, and he let me see his social media w/all his family on it. And I know he's not my bf but lately we have been talking about it. I could be getting played... But I have to stay optimistic and at least try

Not a whole lot, lol 😂

If he’s anywhere close to Des Moines or one of the bigger cities, there would probably be more options of things to do, depending on what has reopened

Subway can be a cool place to hang out, every day. 

The gas station probably has better food though. 

Since we're just gonna stay on lockdown it doesn't really matter I guess. If we do get along and decide to date I'm going to try to get him to move somewhere more civilized with me. He was talking about it already too. He's born and raised in chicago so it's not like he's a country boy at all

uh oh someones upset I made fun of a town that's 99%...

 

No.  You used the word "civilized", when you should have used the word "urbanized".  Look at any large metropolitan city, yes they have museums, but they also have more violent crime...unless you consider the latter as "civilized behavior".

Well, yes, because that's what I did. However...

Firstly, and probably most importantly, when  n o t h i n g  ever happens in your town, since violent crime is a "something," it falls under not-happening-in-your-town.

Secondly, there's less motivation to crime when you're privileged and going to inherit a house if you just wait long enough.

I can see you know nothing of small towns.  The main thought of kids in small towns is not about inheriting homes, it's getting out of the small town.  If you're the type that must have something to do, by all means go for the big city...but remember, small towns are where most food comes from and they tend to take care of their own.  In a situation where food becomes scarce, the small town will have it, the big city - well, learn to run faster than the next guy or become Ms Soylent Green.

My canary in the coal mine will be when we stop paying farmers not to grow food.

Doesn't even have to be that food isn't available.  A truckers strike would do it, as I witnessed as a little kid.

Move to Iowa to stay?  Sure, you might even like it.

Honestly, no. Until rural america shows they aren't more than willfully ignorant haters who would rather exile anyone different than treat everyone respectfully, I'll pass on putting down roots there. When I do have to pass thru these areas like I'm about to, I make it a point to spend as little money there as possible. Earn my respect if you want it.

"Liberal" Iowa is Conservative Nebraska's neighbor.  I associate IA with windmills and strippers being able to dance completely nude.

I guess the western part has the liberal enclaves, and the eastern is more conservative which makes sense.

I do love being naked at least

Who's being "willfully ignorant" now?  Sounds like you've already judged people you haven't even met & found them wanting.

Yes, me, I'm aware that's exactly what I'm doing.

Lol at least he's not a PC MaSTeR RaCe snob

xbox peeps are the snobs... bunch of jocks who throw their money away for the same Halo and sports games over and over again with new paint. They have no leg to stand on and swear xbox is the best. PC, on the other hand, is objectively, inherently superior with as many legs to stand on as a centipede.

Why consoles are better:

  1. PCs are pay to win since you may best somebody bc you out resolution/fps/draw distancing them/etc. I know this difference is blurring nowadays with different console editions, elite/pro controllers, different tv resolutions, sound whoring setups, games allowing console players to use mice+keyboard. I don't like it. I prefer everyone on the same level hardware playing field even if it means I can't use a supercomputer
  2. way more software fails on PC.. On console I spend much less time having to tinker around to fix some operating system problem or incompatibility.. w/console "everything just works" which is a plus
  3. it's easier to cheat on PC/more cheaters online
  4. console developers know what hardware they're going to be working with and so can most efficiently design
  5. there are more jocks on xbox :P
