If I buy a sheet that will cover it is it easy enough to apply?
So your going to get a rectangle sheet of PPF and throw it on the top of your car to cover the seal of your sunroof?
That sounds as ghetto as LVP in a staircase pattern! Or tile that has 1 design and all put in the dame direction!

If you're serious about just throwing a big rectangle sheet on top, then it should be pretty easy since it's flat.

I have no clue how so much shit gets in the sunroof but it’s literally clogging the drains over a few months multiple times a year

I’ll wipe it clean and clean the entire track and drains and within 3-4 months of sitting outside it will be filled with shit again, I’m over it

I was considering just taping the seam which is even more ghetto lol

Cuz they’re kinda doing you a favour, I’d be pleased as punch if I approached some girl in my younger years and she showed her crazy to me right off the bat so I could take a fuckin walk the other way before investing anything in her and THEN finding out she’s psych ward eligible.

I mean, it’s nothing personal to get rejected and it’s their problem if they can’t handle a simple mating interaction lol
The problem is not the rejection, the problem is getting your FACE blasted all over social media as a creep/stalker/rapey.

Because it won't stop at just a verbal no, it'll be on X/FB/IG/Threads/TikTok/whatever other social media platforms these hoes use.

Damn I'm glad I didn't have to deal with this shit.

Anyways, a couple of years ago they sent this gen z intern to him for a couple of months. GORGEOUS. blonde, big ass, big tits, dumb as a fucking post. He tried FOREVER.. LIKE FUCKING FOREVER to bone her. no luck. He showered her with gifts, basically gave her no work, and took her to all the industry events.. nope nada...

She finished her internship, he was super sad, and she went on to something else.
A few months ago, he teams me this pic and BOOM. there she was on Leolist. LIKE FUCKING thats her for sure. He used a burner phone, called her up and had her meet him at his house.

This hoe shows up, bitched him out and called him a stalker, AND THEN REFUSED to do him.

WHAT SORT OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THIS!?!?!?!

He was FURIOUS !!!! im pretty sure he wanted to choke her out.

Moral of the story: Gen Z's are the worst. A whore with standards is right up there with Hitler.

I have a feeling there’s more to the stories with those guys… like maybe they kept pushing or read the “Don’t take no / Turn no into yes” books… if you don’t know who someone is or: they’re some rando and you also are not someone of major clout it’s pretty damn hard to really fuck with someone. It would die so fast.

I blame Timmothy chalet-main. He’s the progenitor of this gayness. That being said I do enjoy his acting and he’s super talented, capable of insane range of roles.

They retorted that there were two other people in their seats. My wife told them that that's not our problem and told them to move. We probably saw like 5-6 groups of people in wrong seats in the 2-3 rows around us.
- Lots of women were dressed to draw attention, to put it mildly. I get it - it's a concert. But there were lots of them in groups and no groups of guys chatting them up in the concourse, in the lines, etc. Not a lot of young couples or at the very least, young male orbiters. Most of the couples we saw were boomer milllennials, like us.
- Lots of GenZ were eager to capture photos and videos, but I didn't really get the sense that they were actually having a good time, which was sad to see. I didn't really see a lot of joy in faces, if you know what I mean.

The concert was great though and I got to spend time with my wife.

That's funny you made those observations, because that was ours as well.

GenZers almost seem autistic at times, really shy to ask questions or engage more so then prior generations.

I'm gonna sound boomer but I'm also surprised how sexualized kids are going out dressed by themselves nowadays, saw groups of 14-16 years olds wearing nothing at all, I didn't expect The Weeknd to have that kind of fan demographic.

The lack of hunting. In my party days at an event like that we'd be walking around getting numbers and trying to pick up chicks, I rarely see young guys doing that anymore, I don't see it at events or festivals, not even the beach anymore.

It's quite odd.

It was hot as fuck in the arena on the floor, we were dying at some portions of the concert, especially when leaving from down there.

I know (knew of now) of some chick that put a dude on blast for hitting on her friends. Something about feminism blah blah blah. Dude did nothing wrong and there wasn't more to the story - in fact the dude shared all the receipts (screenshots/interactions) following the cancellation. And these fucking crazy ass women take one thing and just run with it, completely out of of context.

In another case, someone I know quite well had a fight with his gf, she got physical, he called the cops. She pressed charges on him. He got arrested and went to court. Actually, I know 2-3 people in this situation, because cops (and the public) generally takes the women's side of things automatically, even if she's clearly the aggressor.

Much like BIC, I know of some guys who got put on blast for basically daring to ask "Hey you're cute can I buy you a drink?"

The girls said no, dude backed off, next he knows he's getting blasted on FB for daring to approach them.

You want to know why in person dating is dead these days? That's why

Women, nowadays (or maybe it's always been like that), act like children or boys. When they feel embarrassed (maybe her gfs are teasing her or the guy isn't attractive enough to approach her), they tend to lash out and they lash out in this way. Or they think that by using this experience to step on someone else, will make her more suitable or attractive to higher "level" partners - AKA doing it for the publicity

but the only upside to their dysfunctional psyche is that most of these gen z girls are sexually liberated. They all watch porn, they all wanna bone—even the asian girls.

I hear them all the time at the gym, yaking away about sex and shit. all the while im like (dont have a hard on.... dont have a hard on....)

Yeah the irony to that shit is that they also parrot "men aint shit" "all men are trash" and "all men want is sex" lol

So now you have the problem of men actually respecting women who don't want to be respected (despite them saying that) and now these men are lesser because it's too risky to make a move.

Anyway, I went on date and I thought it went pretty well, but I think she just wanted business tips and tricks from me LOL. Considering the lack of a reply, following my post date text. Whatever, but I find it really ironic that they want something serious, but can't be serious enough themselves to just say hey not interested lmao.

How timely.

We had a guest speaker for our class lecture yesterday and Plenty of Fish had a "No Dicks" campaign. (Work safe.)

Having read what's been shared in the thread, perhaps now they may need a new strategy?

Fun fact: Guest speaker was Scot Keith, great grandson to the original Alexander Keith of beer fame.

wait a minute, this is about being "nice" !?!? There are plenty of nice dudes who never get jack shit attention from women. Being nice aint going to separate you from the herd.

Yes well, it was obvious that dating completely switched from the 90's and 00's to the explosion of apps and the smart phone around 2010...

6 months of Tinder being released and women's brains had been fried from so much attention and a non-stop supply of dick.

Women themselves started noticing that everyone had suddenly become these huge secret sluts. In one friend group of 9 women, I banged 8 of them in a matter of like a couple weeks hanging out with one right after another, and then my friend banged like 4 of them. Really hot Kits girls and their friends... mid 20's when I was in my 30's. Not dates... just like, meet up at the beach, or in a friend group go to a restaurant, art show, whatever... and then be flirty... and if she comes back to your house later, she's probably more interested in getting laid than you are!

Things like the apps... they killed serendipity but also broke down the walls of what was considered a "date", if you had people hanging out at your house, for example, and you were flirting with a woman in your friend group, it's not a date, she was just tagging along with other friends, but how many times did the girl I just meet stay with me after her friends left? Even one of my old friends who was still super hot with big tits, she was abusing online dating so much by getting taken out for dinner every night of the week with ZERO INTENTION of dating anyone... she just loved the free expensive food! Then someone started recognizing her at places like Black & Blue and all these other places she had guys take her. She was well-fed, probably had like 5k in dinners bought for her every month.

And then the situationship was born...

Very interestingly, I just listened to a podcast about the effect of dating apps on our society by Scott Galloway

Some tidbits here:

Third places don't exist anymore. Sense of community is gone. So the "third" place is now dating apps - 50% online.

Technology + Mating, in terms of dating apps has a created a winner take all or winner take most dynamic. Mating inequality is greater than income inequality in Venezuela (50 men, 50 women, 46 women will take interest in 4 men, leaving 46 men trying to get the attention of just 4 women). The top 10% of attractiveness online get 90% of the interest. If your Tinder profile is went to Stanford, just started a startup, your Rolex is "accidentally" visible in the profile pic and your geolocated in Manhattan or Beverley Hills, you're going to get a massive amount of attention. The bottom half of people are not able to express anything other than wealth, which they may not have, are totally shut out of the market.

And here's where it gets a little spicy, apparently the knock on effect of this is that society is producing too many dangerous people in the world - young, broken, alone men. (aka school shooter types)

We are producing an enormous cohort of economically and emotionally nonviable men. There's a whole generation of young men that have no motivation and no guardrails. They get their dopamine addiction hit from trading. They don't have the mojo to get out there to meet women as much, cause they're watching so much porn. They get this illusion that if they have some sort of worth or affirmation when they say angry things on social media that they get rewarded for. They blame other people, specifically women, and they become more prone to misogynistic content. Start believing in conspiracy theories and less likely to believe in climate change and start becoming really shitty citizens.

The scary part is that we'll just ignore the weirdo and put them into the corner. But apparently the problem is that governments pander to these people for votes, so you have unproductive people have a disproportionate voice in politics (aka what Trump did and what PP attempted to do)

We're basically headed toward a fundamentalist Muslim society.

Sheik Chad with his tech bro wealth is going to have 4 wives and a harem. While the rest of the women-less incels - ya'll strap on a bomb and die for MAGA!!
