  • In my experience, the matching part doesn’t really mean anything other than the conversation between the two of you is now possible. Both of you need to participate in that conversation. And it needs to go well if it means you’ll have a date. The statistics are not great for men, and nothing is organic about the process, so you just have to protect your feelings and understand that if they don’t talk to you, or if it doesn’t go well, it can be for any number of reasons.

    Try your best to not get frustrated, because each individual person is doing their own thing, it’s not you versus all potential matches. You are you. They are them. It just doesn’t work out sometimes









  • I miss the random passion of /r/CFB. It was great because all of the toxicity normally in sports was gone, and everyone was just enjoying the game and news about their teams. In the off-season people would concoct the most convoluted, elaborate shitpost for why their team is the best. I think my favorite essay was once about how the Alabama Crimson Tide’s greatest enemy wasn’t any other team, but the full moon, and went into a heavy statistical data dive to demonstrate how the teams few losses (they were seriously on an unprecedented run for over a decade) all came on or around the full moon. That and the team are the Tide, so of course it’s the moon.

    That type of energy focuses on college football is lacking in Lemmy, and I haven’t found something similar here yet
