    As someone who comes from a small town and moved to a city - this is all 100% accurate. I wasn’t 2 years out of high school and started noticing people my age had already both had kids and were starting to get divorces. Good ol’ fashioned home-town morals.

    I mean, unironically, kudos for being realistic and also not havin the same ‘my personality is I like dog/cat and outdoor activity/athletic activity and want to travel’ profile.

      And yet many women prefer that. Tinder is shit anyway, it’s rarely for serious relationships. I heard only 10% of matches on Tinder end up seriously. My friend’s experience corroborates that.

        I’ve been out of the dating game for a while. Isn’t Tinder aimed mostly at one-night stands? Doesn’t one filter solely by appearance, by swiping people?

          I haven’t used Tinder in a while, and never got any dates from it, but the app is really superficial. It seems to be only for the ridiculously good looking people, so yeah, the app is more popular for one night stands. Swiping on people is the norm for any dating apps, but the algorithm on Tinder seems to be more discriminatory, I understand.

    I live in a rural area too and still have all my teeth too, well, except for one that I lost when the back of a folded stock shotgun hit me in the face when I was a kid and wasn’t prepared for the recoil without the stock against my shoulder. But I had that tooth replaced with a fake one, so it still looks like I have all my teeth.

      I’m glad you didn’t knock out your rizz tooth. Were you holding the gun too far forward because your arms were short or was the stock folded and you were using a pistol grip?

    What small town is this from? … asking for a friend … who also has all their teeth.

      No clue, but it very easily could have come from the one I grew up in.

      The_Picard_Maneuver is MIA, so I dove into my ~2014 era meme folder and am posting some golden oldies

        The_Picard_Maneuver is MIA

        … that’s kinda concerning … and if they are in the US, disappearing people is starting to become the norm in that country. Hopefully everything is OK. Thanks for the info.

      She has more than one child with more than one man. There are multiple people her babies call daddy.

              Oh yeah. Don’t even get me started. Mine keeps me so up to date with the drama, I even know how her new boyfriend threatens her, but I also know she can’t leave him because she won’t have a car to drive to work which is like 40 km away because she’s an idiot and got a job in a place where there were no apartments available.

              I find it morbidly funny because she used to assault me all the time and was extremely mentally abusive as well. Now she’s crying to me that her new bf, who she was warned about, is mentally abusive and pushed her against the wall.

              Both of them are the kinda people that humanity would be better off without them. Them getting together was a major victory for me because I knew at least one if not both of them would get hurt eventually.

              Anyway, if I sue her for child support like I’m entitled to and she won’t make the payments, the debt won’t be erased until 2052. She won’t be able to get any credit until she’s in her 50s. It still won’t be comparable to what she did to me, but this is the limit of what I can do legally to gain back a fraction of what I’ve lost (6 figure sum spent on her whims in 2 years is just the start of it, she legitimately messed up my physical health too. I didn’t sleep properly for 2 years and may have lost about a decade of actual life expectancy over the shit she put me into)

            If a 31 year old would call me a “daddy” I wouldn’t directly think of “father”.

              My baby daddies = my children’s fathers

              “I have multiple baby daddies” = “My children are by different fathers”

      From Urban Dictionary’s top definition:

      Short for “Baby’s Daddy”. The father of your child, whom you did not marry, and with whom you are not currently involved.

    I have an hypothesis on “small town hot”, with no basis but my observations.

    People tend to be hotter and fitter in small towns because the competition for a mate is so stiff. Also, the attractiveness is out of scale with the lower incomes. Also, there seems to be less of a middle ground. You’re either hot or a fat slob.

      I assumed it meant the opposite: ‘hot relative to the limited choices in the local dating pool but average if compared to like models etc’
