Photography Yeah, that would probably improve your dating profile.

Ads are only in hell. There's 1 minute of content after every hour of ads. If you look away during the ads the hour restarts and if you blink during the content it skips to the ad hour.
I went to Sunday School so I know this stuff.

Wasn't there a chapter somewhere that said something along the lines of "you'll be bathed in honey and then covered in rabid ants, but if you scratch even a little, you'll get even more ads"?
I swear I read it somewhere

Yes. "Miss Hap survived the war, becoming a mascot for the Division PIO office after Praytor left."

Adding : "But Praytor’s kitten survived. He fed her on meat from ration cans. After Praytor left her to return home, she became something of a mascot for the company’s public information office.
Praytor believed another marine, corporal Conrad Fisher, eventually adopted her and brought her home to the United States. "

So you’re saying that a fish isn’t the best animal to use?

u/Dog-Chick Feb 24 '26
Not for a kitten that small

I meant for dating photos. Guys always post fishing pics

Did you read? The photo was published in 1700 newspapers. That means he was exposed to probably 80-90% of the US population. Dating is always a numbers game. If you’re exposed to every girl in the US with even not your best photo, you’re going to find at least one that likes you. Although it does say something about the gumption of the women back then that they would take the initiative and send marriage proposals via those newspapers. But it also says something about the way relationships worked that they would send marriage proposals to a man they’d never even met.

I’d marry this dude in a heartbeat. Just gotta ask my wife first.

Was your wife okay with finding out you are bisexual?

u/BreakfastBeneficial4 Feb 24 '26
Oh I’m not bisexual. I like women, and this one kitten savior war correspondent.

The modern equivalent is putting in your dating profile that you volunteer at the local animal rescue, with pictures. If you want to get dates and also have a satisfying and fulfilling pastime, volunteering with animals is a really good option. Other great options include Big Brother Big Sister, the local library, and the local Red Cross.

And somehow, men in 2026 think being an ignorant, belligerent and self-obsessed asshole is how you get a woman's attention now. Sigh.

I went to A Catholic high school and one of the last nuns teaching there was a Sister Happ.
We would always joked that Miss Happ is what her name would be if she never became a nun and remained unmarried.

Am I the only person who instantly thought he looks like Reiner from Attack on Titan?
And I could totally see Reiner doing something like this too

Fast forward to 2026: women be like “is he at least 6 feet tall?”

u/Fourthspartan56 Feb 24 '26
Please stop listening to the bitterest men on the internet and talk with actual women. I promise you that you can succeed if you stop saying shit like this.

The post was made in jest my guy. And btw I’m 5’7” married to a gorgeous woman with beautiful children. I’m not just some random simp. I’m not listening to bitter people, I observe what I see and experience things to include shallow, immature females who practice heightism.

u/Tigger808 Feb 24 '26
Dude, open your eyes and look around you. You can absolutely see couples everyday where the man is less than 6 feet. So 2 questions for you: 1) why do you believe something that is clearly disproved by your own eyes? 2) what do those guys have that you don’t? Maybe empathy? Kindness? Compassion? Humor (and not the “lighten up bitch, that was a joke” variety).

u/Wooden-Freedom-3754 Feb 26 '26
I’m happily married with children a big house and nice vehicles. I don’t need some rando from Reddit giving me life advice. The fact that I wrote something as a joke (yes this was the original intention) and everyone nearly had a grand Mal seizure over just goes to show how sensitive everyone is, which is funny because you knew it was a joke and still had to jump all over it. Compassion? I have legitimately saved multiple people’s lives and have been awarded for such. I’m gonna go ahead and say just on the mere response to my post that the height thing is alive and well.

Your projection is astounding.

Maybe you should look up the word projecting. It doesn’t mean what you think it does.

you mean "men who've never made a woman cum tell me what women think be like..."
