Where's our tech nerds?
Can someone diagnose this glitch b*tch?

I got a message on the tv saying the cops have my details, ipn or something I'm not techy, hopefully I will be locked away for a long time and wont need to go to work, I would jump at the chance tbh , maybe even some handcuffs, bejaysus.

I had you as a dominatrix rather than a submissive, but sure if the guards have handcuffs what can you do? :cool:

Got asked by a woman what I would consider dark humour, said I wouldn't be too keen on rape jokes and she called me a misogynist and switched off her messaging. It shouldn't bother me what a stranger on the internet thinks but it really does. Was mentioning a topic that crosses the line for me be misogynist in itself? Where did I screw up?

You're walking a tight line mentioning rape jokes, rape is naturally an emotive topic.

I'm incredibly unpc, but I know to tone my humour down in certain situations. If you're chatting to potential dates you're better off steering clear of potentially controversial topics. If you're asked that question again be vague and say it depends on the situation and how well you know the people involved, but that generally you're not overly controversial.

Tone and context can be easily misconstrued via text so it's always best to err on the side of caution.

Having said that my impression of you is that you do have a dark sense of humour, so this lady may not have been for you. At least you're not wasting time and getting your hopes up.

Have you thought any more about a trip to Wales? Getting each other's humour through text is a promising start!

I'm confuddled.. Surely if you were a misogynist then you'd be cracking the rape jokes?
She sounds like hard work, delete and move on.
Online dating sounds like a mine field.

I don't get it myself.
I initially gave a reply saying I generally don't offend anyone and that I wouldn't look to. I said humour is also something you tailor to the person.
Actual exchange:

Her: Right, so are you planning on answering the question or just intellectualising and thus avoiding it? I'm aware humour is subjective, hence why I specifically asked what constitutes dark humour to you.

Me: I'm so in a corner right now. I think I wouldn't be too keen on the likes of rape jokes, that would cross the line I think.

I hate the idea that someone thinks I'm like that and leaves me unable to reply.

Yeah, she was a melter looking to get you to offend her.

I wouldn't waste any more time worrying about it.

If it's hard work before you actually meet, it's not going to get better.

Jeez, that one was looking for a fight feels like..

Bring back the discos and the awkward shouting over music and trying to lip read at the bar

BTW.. Her style of conversation comes across as trying to sound interesting, intelligent etc.
There's nothing wrong with those qualities but it's a bit stuffy for an online chit chat with a newbie.

The slow set! It was a lot easier then, all you had to do was shuffle around in a circle and wear the face of each other. They were always there the next night too.

kowloon

She seemed really interesting from her bio. Maybe I'm a little easily disturbed but having anyone believe I purposely wanted to offend them is something I don't like. Although being a ****ty communicator and judge of people's reactions did land me in this thread, so I definitely do it.

Am I on the spectrum or something?

Purple Mountain

You're over thinking it.
Go to bed and start again tomorrow.
Good night night owls.

Gremlinertia

I second Purple, as hard as it is, just wasn't for you. Online dating is horrible in that you 'meet up' with a larger number of people so the number of rejections and mismatches is higher

It's the internet, you can't use it as a barometer of your social skills.

I don't think you've offended people here and I don't think most of us are awful people.

I've never tried online dating sites but I've read a lot of posts like yours about them. Maybe hold off until life returns to normal and get out and about? Join clubs, group activities and the like. If it's making you doubt yourself and affecting your self esteem it won't end well.

She was a bit much Kowloon!

Anywho.. speaking of fingering...

I just got up to get some water and noticed I'd left the big clothes horse/airer contraption up so for some reason I decided to dismantle it but I was clearly too sleepy for such a gigantic endeavor because I managed to get my finger trapped. The more I tried to open it back up, the further I closed it down and my finger was getting properly squashed! Of course I started panicking as the pain intensified and that made things much worse and somehow, someway I kept folding it further in on itself and my finger.

Well obviously I lived to tell the tale but my finger has a big ol indent on it and is throbbing and I probably won't be able to get back to sleep for some time. I should just join the circus, I'm a bumbling clown!!

I have no clue what you're like in real life Kowloon, but I can tell you the problem in that exchange was hers not yours. Don't waste another thought on it.

Leg End Reject

That's a different take on fingering, Buile! If it's throbbing (oooh matron!) keep it elevated.

I was in bed ready to clock off and was just checking messages. Going to read for a bit and try to not let this bother me so much. Thanks for the advice.

So tomorrow is moving day.....most stuff done but still some bits to do.

Wondering if I left my invisibility cloak on.

@Kowloon, it seems to me that woman was quite abrasive and was looking to be offended. I don't see how finding rape jokes dark humour is misogynistic. You'd be better off steering well clear of her anyway, she sounds like a head wrecker.

In bed. 10 minutes to go before getting up time. Mouth is acting up again. I had to take the drugs closer than their spaced out time. Le Sigh.

I was actually saying they would cross the line for me. I know people who've been abused and I know how upsetting it can be. That's why, despite saying I have a dark sense of humour, I wouldn't make rape jokes.
I dunno, I'll just have to leave it go.

So everything set and feeling good about the move Phoenix?

Drinking tea. That's the excitement for today.

I had left a skirt into a dressmaker in February
Between lockdown and then forgetting it afterwards and then they only opening staggered hours, I only finally collected it today.
What's the bet it won't fit me anymore?
