I posted a missed connection once, and about 2 hours later got a reply from a person who was in the exact same circumstances (ie same time, same place, same details about furtive glances) - but she was looking at some other dude who was there and thought I was him. At the same time, I actually wasn't looking at her, but at another girl who was at the same event. So it fizzled cause we weren't looking for, but looking…

You absolutely should have gone on a date. Think of it this way, if by some chance it worked out you'd probably have the best "how we met" story of your entire social circle.

I feel that having a good “how we met” story is a big boost for a potential relationship. At least early on, when you have nothing else to go on. It says, “the odds of this meeting were low; this isn't a thing that happens every day, therefore it's more valuable”.

Feminism doesn't teach women to take the active role. It teaches them to hate men. To be clear, I think women should be treated equally under the law. I'm a big supporter of natural rights. Feminists are not big supporters of natural rights. They are generally leftists, and the truly intellectually dedicated members are generally far leftists.

Feminists are generally leftist and the more intellectual the more progressive/far left, generally speaking. However I know some women that are intellectually dedicated feminists and they don't hate men. They love men. They hate the patriarchy.

There is no patriarchy. This is a good example of the reality distortion that happens in feminism.

Yes, women may have a slightly harder time rising in a company. Just like who is less attractive, or less good at socializing, or isn't a fan of the same sports team as others in the company.

Chicago is behind the following in terms of murder/manslaughter per capita: New Orleans, Detroit, Newark, Baltimore, Oakland, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Stockton, Cleveland, Memphis, DC, and Miami (in that order, from most deaths/capita to least) [0]. You were saying? [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_by_crime_...

I was saying Chicago's a hellhole, just like all those other hellholes you listed--it's just that the GP mentioned Chicago particularly.

Staying safe in that suburb somewhere?
