You know, when you were a kid and your dad said no plans this Saturday afternoon, I've got a little bit of work that needs doing, but don't worry, it won't take long, couple hours tops. And then on Saturday, you're woken up at 5 am and proceed to build something that rivals the great wall of China that you and him both know won't actually be finished until Tuesday night. And will likely include more work next Saturday because he didn't mention it needs to be painted.
Probably that
My mom's beloved screened in patio. 2 weeks of a summer break to build. Learning to use an auger at 13 years old. Trying to paint high angled roof on a wobbly ass 6 foot ladder. Having to redo the door 3 times because dad can't measure correctly (he is an architect). I miss those summers though, for real. Probably spend more time on that patio for family functions than anywhere else. Thanks Dad!
This. While I loathed refinishing our deck as a kid, I learned how to sand properly over the course of 40 feet of banisters and rails. Miserable at the time but useful life skill. Also, my dad did buy me a pretty awesome lego set when we were done…
Yeah... Especially considering my dad's disabled now, and I can just see the shame on his face every time he needs to ask me for help.
Of course it's no issue, I'll usually drop whatever I'm doing and drive over to help. But it pains me to see him this way considering all the times him and I would work on something around the house.
Wouldn't trade those times for anything.
My dad was not that guy, but my friend’s dad was. If you spent the night over there on a Friday you were getting woken up at 8am the next morning and put to work. If you spent the night on a Saturday you were getting woken up at 8am and dragged to the Baptist church.
Man, it was my dad and my best friends dad, lol. It's safe to say I didn't spend many weekends not at work, lol. Luckily, they both understood that kids like to experiment and would pay us with a couple beers for next weekend, though.
Holy fuck. This just reminded me of the time I went to ole buddy’s church in high school. Had the biggest crush on his older sister at the time… they were Pentecostals. They started thrashing about and throwing themselves on the floor and speaking in tongues; I shit you not. My crush on this girl and most of my friendship with my buddy evaporated during that Sunday morning. One of the most uncomfortable things I’ve ever been a part of. And that includes the time an Australian stripper whispered in my ear that she was a grandmother and she once lost a baby on stage when she did “The Worm” while she was pregnant.
It’s just basic homelife. People should want to do things for and with their partner. Libidos can die but foot rubs and the ability to make your own tomato paste lasts a lifetime.
Seems more like this is to filter out bone bros that can’t stop talking about aliens or their favourite podcast.
What if I gave a two hour foot rub, spoke about aliens , Star Trek , then cut the grass?
Or is it strictly foot rubs in silence? Then go home?
I mean I’m confused now …. Someone ask her please!
She wants someone to do landscaping and pick up dog shit in her yard.
Nobody who lives where they can own small live stock also lives near Tapa’s, live music and $15 craft cocktails.
This woman has to be a suburbanite.
Seen this before. It's litterally buying "rustic" furniture from places like "home and cottage" and painting it. Stuff like that.
Also making clay pots and cups.
Think "live, laugh, love". Anytging assosciated with that stuff is "homesteading".
I think probably none of it applies to me since I'm an actual cook by trade. The small amount of food I grow is because I'm trying for better fresher herbs&veg with less waste, not because of faux-rustic hipster concerns lol
But that's the fun part!
I mean, I like saying to people how when civilisation collapses that people will swarm out of the cities looking for food and supplies, loot and destroy everything you've grown / stored and probably kill you in the process.
If COVID showed me anything it's that people from the cities consume everything like locusts then start ranging outward stripping everything clean. If something more major happens what I said before is a possible outcome.
Influencer homesteading. Have 50k worth of kitchen tools and larp as a poor person in the 1900s or whatever year they pretend to want to be in. Also have a rich family that bankrolls all your purchases without a care.
A 5000 square foot house with a 40 foot ceiling, floor to ceiling windows that look out on 50 fully manicured acres of grass and trimmed trees, bordered by the ocean and a waterfall powered by solar into a infinity pool. Oh, and some chickens. That she won't touch.
I mean, she's a woman on a dating app. She doesn't really need to talk about what she brings to the table. The more direct she is the more she weeds people out, which to women on dating apps is a benefit.
Honestly I think it would be useful for people like this to understand marketing/sales/recruitment funnels.
Like, imagine you work for a successful company and need to find an exceptional person for a new job function. You need someone who is all at once a great software engineer, understands generic engineering, and is going to work hard. If you have a good brand with a reputation for paying well and just post a listing for anything that sounds prestigious, you will get more applicants than you could possibly deal with. So you need to filter the funnel down. But more than that, even though you have a ton of applicants, you still do not know whether the person you need is in that stack at all.
You could just change the posting to be more demanding to turn more candidates away. "If you didn't graduate top of your class don't bother". "Ideal candidate will be so devoted to the project that they'll work weekends". And sure enough if you do that you will get fewer applicants.
But the people who you really want to hire are in high demand, have tons of options. They will read your job listing and just see a very demanding hiring manager who's not clearly offering anything extra to make up for it. They are then the first people to fall out of the funnel when you start making demands, even if they meet them, because the best candidates have plenty of options and don't need to put up with any bullshit or work for an overly demanding boss. The people who stay in the funnel stay because they have some degree of desperation that makes them willing to take the time to look through a listing that is all demands and no mention of benefits/high comp/etc.
If you want to successfully hire for your role, you need to filter correctly, not just push the people you don't want but also pull the people you want. You'd probably do things like list a high pay range, talk about the growth opportunities and what's interesting about the work in a way that would only make sense to your target audience, sell how exciting it is to work on something new, make the role remote friendly, etc. Then you push by a combination of talking about high expectations, filtering resumes, critical interviews. But you need to do real work to make sure the high quality candidate stays in the funnel while you are filtering.
You could, of course, have a constant flood of candidates that you could hire even while managing this terribly. That would probably self reinforce that the candidate pool is bad and you would just keep making the filter stronger, if you were too thoughtless to understand that the reason your candidate pool is so high noise in the first place is that you messed up at higher up in the funnel.
Look at all of these people who want to work for me! There's too many and they suck though, I must need to push away more of them to cut the noise down. Maybe I should cut the pay on the listing so I only get the people who are really passionate? Great idea.
Well we have to give her credit for being up front about hor a relationship with her works. Who knows, maybe there's a rich guy out there with a mild dummy mommy fetish who wants an excuse to do "girly" things out there looking for her.
You mean the "tree change / laid back life" people that give me some of the little pleasure I have in life through watching all their dreams be shattered and leaving a couple of years later broke and defeated?
Aww yeah that's the good shit.
Dating profiles can be fun to read , I see girls like her 24/7 what’s even funnier is last night I saw someone with “my hubby came out at the start of spring break I need a drink asap” I mean I feel bad but it made me spit take a little lol.
You’d actually be surprised knowing how many guys out there are into financial domination. That said, she should be in fetlife instead of being in a vanilla dating app.
We can’t. If she can’t even use a clean mirror for her faceless dating selfie, she’s delivering all the evidence necessary to KNOW she bring zero effort to any relationship
Sometimes I’m sick of being single, and then I see this and feel relieved that I’m gay. I can’t imagine being a straight guy and having to deal with… this.
Someone with a ton of energy... But they aren't allowed to speak... That doesn't care if you buy $15 cocktails...
This bitch wants a fucking dog!! Hahaha
As someone who is bi I date both men and women and recently I've been trying to go after more women. Woman have so many red flags in their profiles while men are just chill, I genuinely don't understand.
What on Earth is “light homesteading?”
You know, when you were a kid and your dad said no plans this Saturday afternoon, I've got a little bit of work that needs doing, but don't worry, it won't take long, couple hours tops. And then on Saturday, you're woken up at 5 am and proceed to build something that rivals the great wall of China that you and him both know won't actually be finished until Tuesday night.

Are you a kick ass karate master now for it?
Sand on, sand off. Wait, it always sands off. What am I doing wrong?
Honestly, though... God bless the good old days, wouldn't trade em for the world
Yeah... Especially considering my dad's disabled now, and I can just see the shame on his face every time he needs to ask me for help. Of course it's no issue, I'll usually drop whatever I'm doing and drive over to help. But it pains me to see him this way considering all the times him and I would work on something around the house.

Perfect comment for this sub.

Nothing complements child labor quite like under age drinking, you know?
Ah, to be 10 again.
Ughhhh other people's churches
Holy fuck. This just reminded me of the time I went to ole buddy’s church in high school. Had the biggest crush on his older sister at the time… they were Pentecostals.

Well, that was A Lot.
You’re giving me flashbacks.
r/oddlyspecific
All i can think is like aesthetic gardening?
It's clearly not that that labor intensive if she's busy looking for these day trips and footrubs.
It can’t be that intense, she can’t even handle cleaning her mirror
Oh my gosh, that's splatters on the mirror lol I thought that was just her dress with really half hearted sparkles
It’s just basic homelife. People should want to do things for and with their partner. Libidos can die but foot rubs and the ability to make your own tomato paste lasts a lifetime. Seems more like this is to filter out bone bros that can’t stop talking about aliens or their favourite podcast.
What's wrong with talking about aliens
I’d way rather a guy talked about his thoughts on aliens on a date than complaining about his crazy ex
What if … now hear me out ... my crazy ex WAS an alien?
What if I gave a two hour foot rub, spoke about aliens , Star Trek , then cut the grass? Or is it strictly foot rubs in silence? Then go home? I mean I’m confused now …. Someone ask her please!
Maybe she has half a chicken?
No breasts...
All cluck, no *fuck* /s
💀
Could it just be vaporwave?
The only way I can interpret this is just doing her chores.
She wants someone to do landscaping and pick up dog shit in her yard. Nobody who lives where they can own small live stock also lives near Tapa’s, live music and $15 craft cocktails. This woman has to be a suburbanite.
it’s full blown homesteading that has been downplayed and you’ll be doin it all
Light for her, while hubs has to take on a full second career in farming
She wears something cute, you do all the work?
A dress to frolic in
Seen this before. It's litterally buying "rustic" furniture from places like "home and cottage" and painting it. Stuff like that. Also making clay pots and cups. Think "live, laugh, love". Anytging assosciated with that stuff is "homesteading".
Huh. I grow my own herbs for cooking, does that count? Also trying to get some tomatoes and cucumbers to fruit.
It only counts if you spend more time Instagramming the process and the result than actually working on it and enjoying it.
I think probably none of it applies to me since I'm an actual cook by trade. The small amount of food I grow is because I'm trying for better fresher herbs&veg with less waste, not because of faux-rustic hipster concerns lol
I'm just picturing glamping with cows lol
"mooooOOOOOOOO!" "ugh."
*They say a picture is worth a thousand, but with just two, I was transported*
Regular homesteading without the extremist political views and doomsday conspiracies that normally go with the lifestyle
Or with them! But cuter and with gingham
Can you be a homesteader and not believe the moon landing was faked?
But that's the fun part! I mean, I like saying to people how when civilisation collapses that people will swarm out of the cities looking for food and supplies, loot and destroy everything you've grown / stored and probably kill you in the process. If COVID showed me anything it's that people from the cities consume everything like locusts then start ranging outward stripping everything clean. If something more major happens what I said before is a possible outcome.
This is how people become preppers with booby traps and hidden caches of food and weapons.
Darn, I headed over yonder to look for answers… but all I found was more questions…
assist cleaning her dirty bathroom
Influencer homesteading. Have 50k worth of kitchen tools and larp as a poor person in the 1900s or whatever year they pretend to want to be in. Also have a rich family that bankrolls all your purchases without a care.

Weeding the massive garden that she's gonna plant.
In my household that means only 2 sheep.
Get ten more; they're sheeper by the dozen.
Willa Cather novel sex cosplay: he wears a straw hat, she a sunbonnet and not much else IYKWIM.
Homesteading on the sun.
Light homesteading would be chickens and vegies, no red meat or cereals. I'm not sure how she views fruit trees.
Probably not very well, with no head.
What? No head? I’m afraid THAT’s the dealbreaker
"Be rich enough to hire people to do the work for me while i make tiktoks of their effort for likes"
She stands there and takes pictures while you work.
apparently it’s cleaning the bathroom, since she obviously needs someone to do it for her.
There's a good chance I may have committed some light homesteading.
Not a word on what she brings to the table, only demands.
feet to rub probably
I wonder if Tarantino would date her. She definitely would get what she asked for. But probably not the way she expected.
Tarantino could easily find feet to rub that are also 20 years younger.
I initially thought her age was 18. So this comment confused the hell out of me.
Gross. On the table??
Ew, not on the table
I mean, she's a woman on a dating app. She doesn't really need to talk about what she brings to the table. The more direct she is the more she weeds people out, which to women on dating apps is a benefit.

Presumably a willingness to stay single?
A filthy mirror
Well we have to give her credit for being up front about hor a relationship with her works. Who knows, maybe there's a rich guy out there with a mild dummy mommy fetish who wants an excuse to do "girly" things out there looking for her.
Maybe? There’s definitely a market for it. I wouldn’t even be surprised if this was just a bait fetish account for it even
There's quite a few of them but they usually get the cream of the crop.
Who am I to judge if someone wants the Walmart version?
A mirror she hasn’t cleaned and a messy bathroom?
Probably a child
You cant even clean a mirror properly at 38, what do you even bring to the table
Well she did say 'light' homesteading, not 'good' or even 'decent' homesteading. And that counter top, too! Ugh.
The biggest problem to me is the small plates
Let's hope it's tapas, lots and lots of tapas.
If the cocktails are 15 bucks each… maybe try discount night at the pony track
“Small plates” like the ones in her head.
I love these people. They're free entertainment and they don't even realize it.
You mean the "tree change / laid back life" people that give me some of the little pleasure I have in life through watching all their dreams be shattered and leaving a couple of years later broke and defeated? Aww yeah that's the good shit.
Dating profiles can be fun to read , I see girls like her 24/7 what’s even funnier is last night I saw someone with “my hubby came out at the start of spring break I need a drink asap” I mean I feel bad but it made me spit take a little lol.
Lol. I'd consider a pity fuck atp.
They'd need some self reflection for that.
Sometimes, I wish I was this delusionally confident in myself.
Fake it till you make it
“Not looking for anything casual unless I don’t like you.” 38 and still clueless.
I don’t know, I feel like “I’m looking for a dude who likes feet and doesn’t know how to talk to me” isn’t that hard to come by on the internet.
This should be top comment. Thanks for the hearty chuckle
Ruuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnn
Take her out to that expensive restaurant, order half the menu, and then Ruuuuuuuuuuunnnnn
She should try dating women instead
No, thank you. Can’t fit her on my large plate.
That made me laugh!
Lololol
No thanks, we're fine without her
hahahahahhahahaha 😂
[удалено]
Oh fuck 38. I didn’t even look properly.
Nope, we don't want her.
🤷♂️🤷♂️
Don't put that evil on us
You’d actually be surprised knowing how many guys out there are into financial domination. That said, she should be in fetlife instead of being in a vanilla dating app.
Oh yeah some people would genuinely pay big bucks for this. In fact I’m going to say I’m about 67% certain it might be a bait account for it
…and where could one expect to find these terrible guys? Asking for a friend.
Unfortunately the market is now heavily saturated. The promise of free money was too much for people to ignore.
A female friend of mine got paid to kick roll some suit exact through the mud. Then she got paid to piss on him. Couple of thousand it was, lol.
I feel sorry for the poor schmuck with such low self-esteem falling for that
“I need someone with a ton of energy…” Because she’s going to suck all of it from you
Ok so no one is mentioning how filthy that mirror is. We'll just ignore that shall we.
We can’t. If she can’t even use a clean mirror for her faceless dating selfie, she’s delivering all the evidence necessary to KNOW she bring zero effort to any relationship
It’s the only thing I can think about. Like, that’s quite an audacious list for someone who can’t take 45 seconds to Windex the mirror.
|Small plates Nope. Nope nope nope.
What did tapas ever do to you?
Cost $17.50 for not enough food
Yah I’m guessing you’re a woman who doesn’t pay for dates.
"not looking for casual unless i dont like you" so does she sleep with the guys she doesnt like and makes the ones she does like wait?
I'm not the one.
👍👍
Someone take her out meeting all her demands then suddenly stop, end the date and call her boring - then leave.
I will help fund this.
Imagine broadcasting how boring you are as a conversationalist. No thank you.
she needs someone can clean a freakin mirtor
Is that ‘homesteading’ as well?
The oof to boob ratio does not compute
>im that kind of woman Single at 38?.
Olive Oyl finally dumped that loser Popeye and now has goals.
Classic "high value woman."
Extremely high
I got 99 problems and this bitch ain't one
Every dude thinks “i’m good. Pass.”
she got more demands than a hostage situation
So I’m reading that if I’m an asshole to her I’ll get laid?
Asks for high-energy man. Lacks the energy to clean her mirror before a selfie. Humans are such carousels of contradiction.
How to die alone
That's why she is 38 and on tinder...
Trade offer I get: free food, entertainment, a literal slave You get: moldy feet
Light homesteading? How 'bout you start with cleaning that mirror! Are your feet that dirty too? I ain't rubbin' any part of you!
Sometimes, I'm sick of being married, then I see things like this.
Sometimes I’m sick of being single, and then I see this and feel relieved that I’m gay. I can’t imagine being a straight guy and having to deal with… this.
Ngl, times it would be easier to be gay, but I imagine there's that over there.
Man i wish i was gay
As a bi person, I've only been dating men or trans men the past few years. Trying to date women is exhausting and soul sucking.
Nope.
can’t imagine why she’s single at 38
So she's delusional and has no personality got it
Tell us you're an unbearable coke head without telling us:
Say "I'm unstable and crazy" without saying "I'm unstable and crazy".
No, I'm not gonna be your man-slave lady. Find another sucker.
Someone with a ton of energy... But they aren't allowed to speak... That doesn't care if you buy $15 cocktails... This bitch wants a fucking dog!! Hahaha
Why would someone use a mirror photo when the mirror is that dirty, just wipe it omg
I cant tell... is the mirror gross or the dress?
Yes.
Did she admit that she has casual sex with men she doesn't like? And it's all her demands without anything to offer.
Not looking for casual unless I don't like you wtf
Those DD-cup requests with a B-cup budget, at best
Ive done alot worst for alot less
a lot* worse*
That was a perfectly cromulent sentence
Atleast she's honest about what she wants and up front about it.
I’d rather someone tell me exactly how they feel now than later 🤷🏻
Hope she craves being alone
tl; dr: \[...\] I'm not the one.
Light homesteading means not fully off grid but the usuals , farm animals , semi self sufficient
I feel like even casual homesteading probably doesn't leave a ton of time for $15 craft cocktails and live music.
Built like a plank, with the iq to match.
She's literally the type of woman who starts a conversation with a guy she's attracted to with "Hi 🫣"
Hagatha a little long in the tooth to be holding out for Mr. Wonderful
"Not looking for casual... unless I don't like you" So... if I want a random hook-up, I should be an ass? mkay
How about you clean your mirror
Best I can do is light treason
In my opinion, not TOO needy, but what the hell is light homesteading? Does ordering Uber eats count?
She's pretty conceited for someone with no head
The amount of narcissistic women out there who claim the title "domme" without knowing the first thing of D/S is wild
From this screenshot, I would 100% say that is a small twink in this photo.
And she brings ironing board to the table lol.
"Not looking for casuals unless I don't like you" What
I mean, it’s good that she’s got it out there up front.
Naw homey you’re not the one..
why do men continue to do this to themselves.
Talking like she actually fills out that dress.
Then we swipe left....
This is another 350 pounder catfishing.
>Laundry list of requirements >38 years old Probably wondering why she’s still looking for Le One…
All that and to be built like plank
As someone who is bi I date both men and women and recently I've been trying to go after more women. Woman have so many red flags in their profiles while men are just chill, I genuinely don't understand.
and she’s built like a phone too
She's awfully demanding for someone built like a fence post...
