    Ohh, school pick up lines as in, a line of cars picking up students. Not pick-up lines, like “Hey baby, can you show me where music class is, cause I feel like playing in A minor.”

    Lucky I’ve not encountered him, the urge to talk to him like a 5 year old would be too great.

    “What a big truck you have! And it’s so high up! I bet you have to do a big jump to get up there. And look, it says “WAR” on the front, that’s fun! Did you put that on yourself, or did you ask a man do it for you?”

      Where I am at there’s triple digit hear warnings, so there is a logic to this. On the other I have used my bicycle to pick up my daughter under such conditions so it is possible, but then she rightfully complains about the heat.

        There’s nothing wrong with having a small penis. There are great ways to compensate, by learning other skills in the bedroom to pleasure your partners. Buying a massive truck isn’t the right way to pleasure a partner, it’s only to show how sad and insecure you are like your other testosterone junky micropenis Chad friends with their mega trucks.

        So when you say you have a small car, I’d say you’re doing just fine.

      lots of women are into big trucks and expensive cars.

      have you ever dated? IME majority of women want a guy with an expensive car. finding a woman who doesn’t care about that stuff is difficult.

      I drive a hybrid and I’ve had many dates be disgusted with that. They want a man who drives a ‘manly’ car.

        lots of women are into big trucks and expensive cars.

        There’s always exceptions to the rule, but the things dudes think attract women and what actually attracts women are so often two entirely different things. Most women have little interest in expensive cars, huge muscles or fancy gadgets, they’re instead interested in a man with decent hygiene who can listen and be financially stable (all things that a lifted pickup with extra-edgy stickers and whatnot communicates the opposite of)

          in my dating experience most women car very much about how much money a man flaunts. i have never dated a woman who dind’t make a huge fuss over my car, my house, my non-designer dog.

          every single woman i meet wants luxury everything, they want to spend five figures on a dog and they think i’m a POS for having a $500 rescue dog.

          All the women I know who don’t care about that stuff are already married.

            So funnily enough a majority of my friends are feminine-presenting and several of them are single so I hear a lot about their experiences with dating guys and almost universally their primary concerns are hygiene and listening abilities (and past that concerns for their ability to budget and be financially stable), because that’s how low the bar is for men.

            Given how consistently the only people I ever see saying that women like big trucks/expensive cars happen to be men, and every women/feminine presenting person I know never even mentions vehicle choice when talking about what they do or don’t like in a potential partner, plus the memes posted by women consistently matching this opinion, I have to believe that that’s the case.

            How are you meeting these dates who scoff at your sound financial decisions? What are your filters for a potential date? I strongly suspect you may be inadvertently filtering your dates either by where you meet them or expecting certain characteristics (or potentially you might be doing something that scares away non-gold diggers) so that most of who you date happen to be overly veign

              i also get women who approach and flirt who aren’t single. same shit.

              every woman i’ve ever dated says she doesn’t care about these things and is lookign for a guy to listen to her… and then all they do is complain i don’t spend enough money on them or own expensive enough stuff.

        Expensive (in terms of my country, anyway) car got me the worst woman I’ve ever dated (and later married. The things you do for love. For both the gold digger and more importantly, the child the gold digger coaxes you into having). Go back a few comments in my profile if you want details because I shared them with other people who said they’ve suffered under narcissists too, but it cost me well over 100k in under 2 years. Minimum wage in my country is under 900 euros a month to give you some perspective. She did not work a day in the same time frame, but I worked 200+ hours most months.

        Stay true to yourself and keep driving that hybrid. Don’t give in to it. The woman that’s out there for you won’t care about it. But if you drive a nice car or truck, you’ll attract gold diggers that distract you from the actually good things in life. And if my advice sounds misogynous, it’s really not. It’s not exclusively women who are gold diggers of course. I recently read a thread on my country’s subreddit where a woman was in just about the same situation I used to be in, looking for advice. Her husband was an absolute freeloader and wouldn’t even help around the house because she wouldn’t sign over half the house to him. House that she’d bought before their relationship.

          i’ve never met a woman who didn’t shit on me for my lifestyle choices. especially if that are positive.

          all my girlfriends i dated just wanted the standard american lifestyle. And every woman i meet who wants to date me wants that too.

          I dont’ know where anyone is finding women that admire people who drive hybrid cars or compost. i certainly do not ever meet them.

            I’ve met a few. One in particular cared more about the environment than anything I could offer her.

            Unfortunately we were both busy and barely saw each other. I then went and met someone who only liked me for the car I drove. First girl was last year MD student, the other one was pretty much a bum who gets pregnant when she finds a man who can provide for her, to lock it down.

            I didn’t have the nice car for the first one. She actually liked talking to me without me having to pretend I was someone I wasn’t.

            So I’m still sure that even for you there’s someone out there. But the sad fact is that we many never meet these people or other circumstances can fuck things up for us.

        You’re not dating the right women man. The ones I date don’t care about that stuff. They care about having shared interests, talking about emotional stuff, building a connection. My previous 3 partners I broke the relationship because they didn’t respect my boundaries, they all want me back. They loved the sex, my previous partner, one who had many before me, told me I could give her the best orgasm ever, by far. The ones before also said I performed beter then they ever had. All because I learned techniques, even though I’m above the Dutch national average size wise. Size does help a lot, but it’s about what you do with it. While my best technique is oral. I try to learn her body, her triggers, and play with that. Edging is really great, plus knowing to find the g spot, and of course the clitoris. But the whole body is covered with sensitive spots, knowing which one to stimulate when is key. Watch some tutorials from Nina Hartley, I learned a lot from it. Also there was a program on state television when I was younger called “neuken doe je zo” (this is how you fuck). I can’t remember the other tutorials but there are more. Just don’t use porn as a reference.

        All my previous partners don’t care about cars, expensive presents, etc. They care about my brain and how I treat them: with care and respect. I can be vulnerable and don’t mind taking about hard things so they all still come to me when they are feeling down because even though we broke up I’m still there for them during hard times. And they are there for me too.

        If anyone only cares about money and fame, they are just using you and not the right partner.

          I can’t date women who don’t find me attractive. I’m glad for you you got to date women who don’t care about that stuff. I don’t have that opportunity in life. I date women who ask me what car I drive and how much income I make within minutes of meeting me.

            Where do you meet them? Tinder is not the best place to meet the right women. I’ve had more luck with other apps like ok cupid. Also when I go to parties I meet nice women but only at the right parties with the right crowd. Standard clubs are not the right place imo. I prefer to go to subculture events / and underground parties.

            Edit: I’m not saying it’s easy, I find it super hard too.

    I’ve inadvertently ridden my bicycle through a couple school zones during drop-off times - and I’m sure pick-up times would be even worse.

    Cycling around cars has an element of risk that we all know and accept. But that risk goes WAY UP in school zones at drop-off time. You’d think drivers would be looking for kids, people, etc. as they drop their precious off IN A SCHOOL ZONE. But, no.

    For example: One started to pull out in front of me - I was in the lane, riding past, and she was pulling out of the school’s driveway. I avoided her with some vigorous braking, then she had the gall to pull up at a light and tell me I should be careful.

      It’s a bunch of stressed, impatient parents who just want to grab their kid and get out, but are apathetic to everyone else trying to do the same. If all these other people weren’t here they could do this so fast, why won’t everyone get out of their way? It’s a highly concentrated dose of the “Im gonna get mine and the rest of you can fuck right off” mentality. And, like most shitty driving behaviors, it feeds into itself. It makes good drivers make bad decisions because, if they don’t, they’re not going anywhere. “No one is letting me in, so if I dont cut someone off, I’m going to be stuck here another 15 minutes” type shit. I dont know why well-built pickup and drop-off areas aren’t required for building schools past 1990, but here we are.

      When I leave my home street, (on my bicycle,) I have to make a left hand turn. This means that I don’t proceed through the intersection until it’s safe, and I turn from the middle of the lane. My bike also has blinking turn signals, because people are dumb and don’t understand hand signals for turns. I had one of my neighbors behind me honking and screaming at me because I wasn’t turning fast enough for her liking. I screamed at her that I wasn’t turning until it was safe, and she could eat my ass. Then I got off my bike in the middle of the road and proceeded to dance the running man for 30 seconds before getting back on to attempt my left hand turn again. Fuck cars and the people that drive them.

      You might be, very unpleasantly, surprised. The vast majority of us who carry guns train and are well versed in the law. Remember, when you hear crazy stories on the news, they are only reported because they are crazy." Normal doesn’t make the news.
