Thanks all! I appreciate everyone who answered, especially those who provided a meaningful or nuanced response.

I framed my question in a specific way for a specific reason and got very useful insight about the vibe here, including how people interpreted the question.

On a dating app. Bumble or Plenty of Fish or Coffee Meets Bagel. I no longer remember.

I had just finished college and had proof and confidence that I had shed my desperation and insecurities. I was excited to date. Had intentions of dating a lot, sleeping around, finding a cool, low commitment consistent FWB or something.

I was set to be a menace and enjoy my heaux phase.

Tinder was full of bots, so I tried a few different apps, meta few girls, but hadn't really hit it off with anyone. I knew I liked weird/off kilter/nerdy girls. That much was certain.

So when I saw her tagline, which specifically asked for facts about a certain, semi obscure animal, I (excuse the pun) pounced And that was the greatest mistake I ever made.

She was a weirdo, to be sure. But like, a cool one. Self-confident. Curvy. With similar cultural experiences as me and a lot of similar interests and tastes. And I like the way she thought about things. She felt the same way.

After our second date I didn't wanna talk to other women. I didn't wanna play the field or sleep around or build a ho-tation. I just wanted her I wanted her to like me, to think about me, to want me too.

We've been married for 6 years now. She's still a lil goofy. Still very charming, very curious, and chubby curvy, and the person I most wanna hangout with on any given day.

 

Haters, assemble!!!!

Jokes aside, I want to know what drives you to inform the rest of a website, chat, forum, or thread, that you don't like/enjoy/want/do something.

I wanna hear what your impetus is.

Is the act cathartic? Do you have a personal, negative experience with the thing you're complaining about? Is the impulse automatic or do you think about it every time?

The question is only as serious as you make it, but I'm curious all the same.

Nah that's exactly what i was looking for. Recommendations. I.listened to the album all the way thru and bounced off, so i figured I'd ask a fan next time i saw one.

Good looking out.

It's tough finding a question inconsequential enough to avoid raising their defenses but meaningful enough to elicit a real, useful response

  • "What is your biggest pet peeve that other people do?"
  • "How would your friends/coworkers/SO describe you?"
  • "What are you excited for?"

I don't know how to appreciate Fall of Troy outside of F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. and its unpronounceable original version. Even seeing them live (they opened for Alexisonfire) left me feeling like i was missing something.

I think being able to draw a line from your classic albums to your modern hits is hella cool. Your list makes a lot of sense.
