Ok, and this is among people 60+. That’s good news.
I don’t know that the Israel data suggests the boosters work to prevent breakthrough infections / against Delta.
I’m not convinced on boosters either. Again, I’ll do whatever I’m told to do for public health, but I think A) what stops mutations from happening and the virus circulating is almost everyone being vaccinated, and 2) boosters don’t stop breakthrough infections, they probably just help to shore up the defenses of very vulnerable people against hospitalization.
That’s hilarious about the 25 BMI. At my height, with the weight needed to have a 25 BMI, I’d be a size 6.
I don’t think they ask any questions when you go to get a shot. If you want a booster, you can just go get one. And if you had an 11-y/O who is big for their age, same thing.
I’m torn about putting that in the profile. It might be better to bring it up after the first date, assuming they see each other again and there’s any connection. It could look like a red flag in a profile, I don’t know. But in any case, it can’t be why he’s not getting second dates. He’s not getting second dates because he’s actively turning women off and is straight up not a good time.
I mean, I think in his NEW profile pics he looks like a nice, tall, pleasant guy. But then he meets people in person and something’s way off. You have to be a stunner for someone to stick around when the vibe is that off, and Robert’s not that hot bad boy. But he seems to look fine when he pulls himself together. The big caveat being *when he pulls himself together*. The outfits and poses in the old photos were problematic. Please don’t look like that when you show up, Robert.
And wow, just the fact that you can imagine a situation in which two women are identical in all ways, but looks would be the tie breaker… that says a lot. It really gives credence to the idea that women are interchangeable to you. For most people, there’s that undefinable connection, or there’s a better fit with one person or another. You’re not experiencing that. Or it would take you months to get to that point.
“ My “anger” and frustration has been with the idea that repeated women come to the conclusion after one date that there is no connection.”
And you were never frustrated *with yourself* for continually striking out? Just with the women for not being interested? It was them, not you?
Not to mention, puppies cost hundreds (even if you adopt) to thousands of dollars to acquire and set up, in addition to substantial regular expenses for food, toys, vet care, grooming, etc. It’s a huge investment. You can’t just decide to confiscate it because you saw the owner having a shitty day.
No one said she was great… but it was her dog, and there was no mention of the vet the LW took him to saying he was in poor condition.
I had heard of “demisexual” via one of those HuffPo clickbait “Personal” articles. Less than 1% of the population falls into this category, which would help explain why Robert hasn’t run into anyone similar. I don’t think it’s the *only* thing going on with him, by any means, but it’s a promising theory. Note, it took dozens of people 2 years to ask the right questions to surface it. A skilled psychologist would have gotten there way faster.
