The same happened to me, twice. I was actually expecting the outcome that you describe. It's best to have a clean break. I hope that you were extremely delicate in your rejection.

A question that never gets old... For once, I do not have "une réponse toute faite" straight out of a psychology textbook. To simplify things, if I really had to say yes or no, I would say no. Purely from my (limited) personal experience, if I look at my workplace, I can think of two pairs...

I'm also starting to realize that it's worse in some areas of the city than others, and that a change of neighbourhood might resolve some of my frustrations.

Knowing the path forward is one thing, having the motivation to take it is a different thing.

Believe it or not, I have a book on that, too.

Nothing beyond having some of my basic needs met. I'm at level 2 of the pyramid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs?wprov=sfla1

My antennae are always up.

Pardon the indiscretion, but could you explain, for the benefit of the group, how does one sustain this rate of activity, both from a stamina and wallet perspective?

Use your senses to explore the world around you. Ask questions. Be curious.

I'm more into vanilla

Like I said in the post you quoted, it rarely happens. When it happens, it does bother me. I have been taking public transit daily for the past ten years. Only in recent years has the STM had to have a public awareness campaign (billboards, audio messages) on good manners on the transit system...

I used to think like that, but I changed my mind after a few years!

(Bumping this thread to see if we can get this thread going again) About to start reading: The Tragedy of True Crime, by John J. Lennon. A book written by a a man who killed a man, now turned prison journalist. He interviewed four fellow prisoners who have killed, telling their life stories...

Me, I literally don't understand people who loudly speak a foreign language over the phone while on the bus. Every. Single. Day. It's rarely loudly in French or English, by the way. Draw your own conclusions.

Bingo. For men, generally speaking, it's not advantageous to partner with a women too high above your own "mate value" (i.e. "out of your league"), exactly for the reasons that your experience reveals.

I have a feeling that these beautiful women are not being approached by men much (in real life, not online) given the state of modern men and of the modern world. Speaking for Millenials and Gen-Z.

Like I said elsewhere, it's hard to understand for more risk-averse people, but for some other people, the inherent risk/uncertainty of Leolist is "part of the game". It contributes to the thrill! This is what we call in psychology sensation-seeking behaviour (previously called thrill-seeking)...

From my reading of your detailed reports, you are willing to endure more frequent disappointments, scams, or dangerous situations than the average user in your quest for the elusive hidden gem. I guess that's why you are a "Certified Outlier" ;) I much prefer the higher level of predictability...

Did we need another reason to stay off LeoList?

Bon point. Ce qui m'amène la réflexion suivante: dans une société féministe absente de patriarcat, si des hommes décidaient d'offrir leurs services sexuels aux femmes, pensez-vous qu'ils auraient plus de clientes que dans la société actuelle supposément patriarcale?... Si on veut trouver...
