Obviously completely ruling out outdoor activities wouldn't work for me or almost anyone (for inst I kind of refuse to date someone who refuses to ride a bike, because the logistics are just too annoying), but I like the admission.

xp ha weird. i look it like improv/sketch people are largely doofuses, but you gotta be a real asshole to keep doing standup

Nhex, Thursday, 13 March 2014 20:18 (ten years ago) link

yeah improv's popularity is one of the things that makes me confused about america

Oh sorry, yeah, I guess "improv" is the preferred terminology although I'm not even sure what the differences are among improv, stand-up, and sketch comedy (please do not take this as a request to have them explained to me).

xp lol

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Thursday, 13 March 2014 20:26 (ten years ago) link

actual thing said to me on a date: "it wasn't like a tent, it was more like a yurt"

goole, Thursday, 13 March 2014 20:27 (ten years ago) link

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, at least you'd get the opportunity to use the word "yurt" which is the funniest word ever invented and so fun to say.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Thursday, 13 March 2014 20:29 (ten years ago) link

she taught yoga fyi

how did she fit all the students in the yurt

Yoga in a yurt, it's too much, stop this giggle spasm immediately.

"i'm kind of a nomad" would be about 800 times more acceptable than "i'm kind of a gypsy"

Nhex strangely otm about improv vs standup.

caek, GOOD improv is the foundation of nearly all the best comedy in North America in the last 50+ years. Standup is largely a source of bad sitcoms.

All this talk of yoga and yurts has given me yogurt cravings

There's a terrible crossover marketing opportunity in there somewhere.

wouldn't mind seeing people provide keywords from my profile that instantly turned them off, although I'm not sure how you'd gather that data.

right, but north america could make good comedy without a mandatory improv-based apprenticeship.

and false dichotomy: i obviously hide and block standups too.

"community-building"

"patriarchy"

Although the hottest guy I've yet been on a date with said he wrote me BECAUSE of the feminist content, so that's nice.

Oh I just remembered, I got this gem of a message the other day, unbidden:

American dating culture is pretty terrible, though, isn't it? I mean, this thread.

idk any other culture's dating culture to compare. i'd imagine they're all kind of shitty?
