I suspect this whole topic is much better for NTs.

Very true. I think that "we met at a supermarket" is one of those quaint meeting stories that refuses to go away. Kind of like the pick-up line: "Hey, baby, can I buy you a drink?"

Nowadays, the meeting story is probably more like this.

"I was lonely and bored, so I created a Tinder profile. I went through 200 men, and swiped right on 10 of them. I exchanged messages with those men, met for drinks with the alpha-est one, and ghosted the rest. And here we are today."


hmm interesting, I certainly cannot relate to that, I don't think I even got 200 messeges in total in the amount of time I was on a dating site, let alone at once. Also I certainly was not looking for 'the alph-est one'. I certainly got ghosted by plenty of guys even some I actually did meet and was foolish enough to think I actually had something good with, or broken up with /moved on from for in their eyes probably more attractive/better women.

You know sometimes the guys on those sites are jerks to, it's not always the woman being the jerk.


Who ever said that picking 1 man out of 200 is a jerk thing?

That isn't the part I was talking about..but seeking out only the most alphey of men and ghosting the rest seems to be a bit in the jerk catagory. If you really want the most alpha of them all then to each their own, but don't lead on the guys you aren't interested in.

But she needs to meet them and sniff their armpits before determing who's the most alpha.

- "So... here we are in front of your house, I guess it's time for a goodnight kiss?"
- "Hold on" *sniff sniff"
- "Huh??"
- "Maybe not today, I am tired, goodnight".

As long as it's dainty, I don't actually mind sniffing ladies' underarms.

So you see....if a woman uses deodorant--there's no excuse for a bath!

Baths are lovely venues for when two people desire each other.
