I live in Vegas now but used to live in NYC. Italian food is the most over priced and over praised stuff on the planet.

Vegas is a "well THERE's your problem" detail; NYC is huge and I'd totally imagine that you somehow managed to miss eating at actually good Italian places the whole time you lived there especially if you already had your current opinion of it at the time

I can't think of any valid reason other than politics to dislike a well-prepared veal piccata

I go to NYC at least once a year to see my grandparents. They pretty much exclusively eat Italian for dinner and eat out every night; every Manhattan Italian restaurant they've taken me to has been unconscionably bad and wouldn't last a day in SF. Similar experience with my cousins in Philly and Jersey. Go to an actual Mediterranean Italian restaurant instead of the abomination that is East Coast American Italian and you'll probably understand why people will pay for good Italian.

it isn't weird if you think about it for more than 10 seconds or consider anyone but yourself.

also if rejection doesn't get easier after the first 2-3 times, seek therapy. nobody wins them all, and you don't always get what you want.

Nah it's weird even from their perspective - I wouldn't sleep with someone and then ditch em I'd feel loving terrible. Hell it eats away at me when I do it after one date. I mean the guy aint entitled to a response but it's p cold to be intimate with someone and act the same way you would if you just had a so-so first date and don't see the point in a second.

"rejection doesn't get easier" doesn't mean "every time you're rejected you cry in your room by yourself for a week eating tubs of ice cream and being dead to the world". Just get kinda bummed for a day or whatever and then move on. Getting rejected after one date aint the same as breaking up after a five yeard relationship wth

spoken like someone who has never been to an actually good Italian restaurant and/or just doesn't know what to order there :colbert:

If you are at an Italian restaurant and being served a pile of noodles, one party has hosed up somehow

if somebody refers to pasta as 'noodles' you can pretty much disregard anything they have to say re: Italian cuisine.

what are you supposed to say? here is always the reason somebody breaks up with somebody else: "I think I can do better than you." flat out telling somebody that, man or woman, is just cruel. people who get dumped say they want the truth, but they honestly don't.

lol this guy.

I am totally down with hooking up and casual dating. It's fun.

If you're out there regularly hooking up with people you think you can do better than, try dating up a bit? I don't think I deserve an explanation, but when I'm hooking up with somebody a few times and I meet somebody I actually want to date I will send a "hey you've awesome to hang out with, but I met somebody I really want to get to know more."

It's polite... Why would I just stop responding?

i listed a bunch of my favorite bands, then discovered after searching for them that no other dudes in my area were interested in most of them

i didn't even think they were that esoteric (i think i listed vreid, einherjer, and hollenthon among others), but metalhead problems i guess

There's a power-lifter girl that's been more fun in like 2 back and forth messages than my current rich girlfriend who has massive social anxiety. Its annoying tbh she's cute and all and a lot of fun but I cannot handle people who are so fearful of rejection that its like we're driving to a restaraunt and she's like "we can go somewhere else if you want" like 20 times in a 5 minute drive.

I think they weren't saying it was the right term. The wording is awkward. I think it should read like "Oh no! The not-correct term for a thing!"

That being said, stop being a pedant and eat your drat spaghetti, you faux cultured pedant.
