I'm waiting until the moment my divorce papers are signed to start going on dates. Not going to go nuts and gently caress anything that moves, but I will be out to have some fun for once in my goddamn life.

I helped my current fiance out of an abusive relationship with my oldest friend, It was hurting both of them badly. Then I did the stupid and hooked up with her, but that turned out pretty well. As far as dating goes I never really got the hang of it, when I was single and wanted to hookup I'd just ask, (didn't get turned down too often either), longer term relationships just seemed to happen. Guess I'm lucky. If you're just looking to hookup then skip the online dating poo poo walk up to the nearest person and say "you wanna gently caress later?" just don't do it to someone you know is loving crazy and you should be fine.( warning: this advice should not be taken literally, the general point is just dont gently caress around if you like someone the worst they can do is say no and trust me its not that bad. Ask why, you might be an rear end in a top hat without knowing it)

I don't think it's based on your gender, more like something like only 1 in 1000 under-30s can drive a stickshift in the US. EDIT: I can't count the number of "car guys" I've met who can only drive an auto. They usually like Bud and think drag races are the tits.

As a married man, y'all need to get the gently caress over desperately searching for somebody to be with. If you can't be happy by yourself, you're just going to be unhappy and stuck in a lovely relationship/marriage if you force it.

After seeing the way men interact with other male car enthusiasts, and then seeing the way they interact with female car enthusiasts, I can confidently say that it is a gender thing. There's a reason why AI is the only car forum that I'm on these days, and it's because it's the only one where I feel I'm getting treated as an equal.

Boss just handed me some emails about the water filtration systems in the science building throwing up some low level alarms. Check the dates, and yep, these were sent over a month and a half ago. Why the hell did it take so long to get down to me, there are only two people above me and they both see/talk to me on a daily or weekly basis. *sigh* In regards to the manual thing, I tend to ask anyone who shows an interest in cars whether they can drive a stick, regardless of gender. Never even thought of it as a sexist thing before.

I guess I'll stop asking that though since you seem to hate it. If you're on a dating site and want to get a response and gauge what kind of car person they are, ask them how they'd fill their garage if they had $100,000. It's a little more interesting than, "What would you buy if you had unlimited money?" or even "What's your dream car?" A lot of sexism IS unintentional because it's woven into the fabric of our society, but it's a huge turnoff for me because I want to be with someone who is aware of the adversity that women face. The manual question may not seem like a big deal on its own, but there's a lot of little things like that which happen every day and eventually it just gets to me. Super Aggro Crag and anyone else who uses OkCupid, I'd be happy to take a look at your profiles and give you some feedback.

I pretty much automatically feel bad for any female I see at car/bike shows or events. It's kind of sickening. That said, so glad I'm not in the dating game now. Because I'd be hosed and not in any good ways. Edit: also, where do you fall in using female to describe women/girls? I've seen before where people see it as sexist or something, but it's my default thanks to the military. Everything is male/female, because it's easier. iwentdoodie fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Nov 7, 2014 |

Well it doesn't hurt that you have a wider range of auto knowledge than a good chunk of posters here (myself included). And never, ever stop using Tinder. It's a highlight of this forum.

A couple of my cute female friends in the car community have told me the kind of things that guys will say to them, and it's sick. I'm fine with female, but I cringe every time someone at work addresses me and my coworker as "girls." I've never felt like I am limited at my workplace because of my gender, but when someone calls us "girls" I just feel like they're reinforcing that 1960s Mad Men-esque office environment where women got paid 77 cents to every dollar a man earned. At least I'm not being called "honey" and "sweetie" like my old boss used to.

I'm having the "Did I make the right decision?" second-guessing remorse today. I really miss my 'lil Bud. I think Watterson put it the quite eloquently in the last panel in much fewer words than I could ever hope to. I don't feel like doing anything today.

For instance, I manage a team exclusively of women. If I am e-mailing two or three of them occasionally I will use "Ladies," as my greeting. Also about the whole driving stick thing, I think that's why I never heard back from this girl I went on a date with from OKC. I thought the date went really well and when we were leaving, I noticed she drove a Wrangler and as she was getting in I was like "Is it a five speed?" and she said "Yeah" and I was taken aback in a positive way (at least in my own estimation). It's not intentionally a sexist thing, it's just that it's rare to find anyone who drives stick, much less a woman. I guess I must have had a surprised expression on my face or something but I never heard from her again, and now I feel like a misogynistic piece of poo poo. Thanks, goatse guy!!

Ladies makes me think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3-H6-BSZE8 Personally, I'd just call them "team" or "all" or whatever. Ladies seems kinda weird in that context. When in doubt, pick something gender-neutral. It seems fairly innocuous when you're at the end of the date and standing next to her car, so maybe she just didn't like you that much.  Also, people on OkCupid are notoriously flaky and prone to disappearing off the face of the planet, so don't take it too personally.

My dream Jeep is a TJ Unlimited Rubicon. I think the two-door stretched wheelbase looks baller as gently caress. I was crestfallen when I found out that the switch to the JK Unlimited was four-door only, which I still cannot get past. Two doors or none!
