All you need to be a superhero is 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run every day.

And eat 3 meals a day. A banana counts for breakfast.

Its a reference to the anime One Punch Man where Saitama, the hero, attains ungodly power through diet and exercise.

Guy I know who is single: "You need to be literally perfect! Tons of money, super athletic, cultured, brilliant, speaking six different languages! It's impossible!"

Girl I know who is single: "Fuck me, I hope this next guy I'm seeing isn't married, can cover his side of the check, and remembered to wash his ass. Although, at this point, two out of three isn't bad."

Guy who is me who is single: I'd be fine if we could just get some third places that aren't focused on drinking where it is appropriate to ask women on a date.

Or if I started drinking more again I guess, but having quit for a while to cut back I don't want to get back to where I was, I'm doing good.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Additional third spaces definitely required.

100% this. But also, you can make your own third space by inviting friends over and asking them to bring friends. I met most of my serious girlfriends at various house parties. Friends of friends are somewhat pre-vetted.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You have made one major assumption here which I feel cannot be overlooked.

Well to do that all my friends would have to un-OD on heroin lol, the opioid epidemic did a real number on my city. I never did it myself, but for me to invite them over I'd need a shovel or a Ouija Board, and idk who they'd bring but I'm not sure I wanna find out!

"Damn Steve, when did you become friends with Moloch and Baal? And why'd you bring Ea-Nasir?!"

My only living in town friend is moving in about a year, too. And if he had anyone he could set me up with I'd know lol, known him for 15yr.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeesh. Sounds like you need a new set of friends or a new town. I wonder how much of the loneliness is down to loads of people living in really sparse areas.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah well y'know, I work, then I'm too tired to go out, can't afford bars anymore and if I could I'm still too old for that shit.

I do go out to some naturey places when the weather permits (of course it's been hotter than the sun until like this week), but it's not like a naturey meet up I just smoke weed and read a book next to the creek, and look at frogs and shit.

Furthermore, I don't know how these people who say "go to X or Y" even find out that X or Y is happening locally, and where/when. Newspapers? Those still around?

Try more meetups? There's always stuff for running, board games, coding, bike riding, bird watching. Just don't be a creeper who's cruising instead of doing the activity in good faith.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago (6 children)

It's my understanding that women don't want to be asked out at such places, the common complaint being that they can't even enjoy their hobby without guys asking them out.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Finding romantic and sexual partners is really, really hard for people who are unable to find new friends generally.

It's a lot easier to meet women to date when you don't have much trouble talking to women and men you're not at all interested in dating.

The friend of friend angle remains one of the best filters for finding available partners who might actually be compatible with you. And that pool is a lot bigger when you can get along with people through hobbies and activities, who have already kinda vetted that you're a good person who is fun to be around.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (19 children)

I can talk to people just fine, when I find people to talk to. But ime most people are busy with their daily lives. Today I'm at work, I'm going to get in my car and drive to lunch, and stop into the grocery store otw home. Sure I can talk to the superficial work friends, but after that it's nobody (in person) all day. My only in town friend has night shift, so he's not chillin.

Could I go to the bar? Sure, but again I don't want to. Could I go to the lake? Hell, might, great day, but I'll be bringing a joint and a book and finding a quiet spot, none of the runners or bikers want to take out their headphones and chat.

"Friends" beyond the superficial level that is basically natural requires us to not be busy ass 30-somethings.

I'm not Czech, I can cover the sides of my ass, and I remember I'm married.

How did I do?

It's a high bar to clear.
