I’ll let someone bite me if it means a date.

Hell, I let someone eat a limb; If we get to have sex.

God, I’m so lonely.

And this, kids, is how praying mantises evolved

From someone who knows; sex won't make you less lonely. Dispelling loneliness requires social connection, not a physical act easily performed without connection or satisfaction.

Hobby groups can be a good place to start, as can volunteering for community/collective projects. 💛

I was in class today and we were practicing clinical scenarios with a mannequin patient and the instructor acting as the "patient's" wife. The instructor says "well I don't think he's had any abdominal surgeries, he doesn't have any scars or anything". I thought 'well how would you know if he has scars on his abdomen?' and then immediately realized I've been single way too fucking long.

What's your spider situation?

I prefer licking, but biting works, too.

Is it bad that the 1st thing I thought of was RFC 3339, and not the fruit or people?

You are an evolved nerd

kamee@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 23d

Yes, I thought of ISO-8601

Date, the fruit.

You have to check for maggots, actually.

Not the weirdest thing about modern dating.

English is just a stupid language...

Not the first joke about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Venn/comments/pb3k85/excel_incel_and_me_eating_a_fig/

When I read things like this, I am suddenly very glad the language I use in my everyday life has very different words "Dattel" (the fruit), "Datum" (point on a calendar) and "Verabredung" (romantic meeting, though we also use the anglicism "Date" for this - and ONLY for this).

Probably every language has homonyms.

schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 23d

Of course, this was in part joking, there are other similar jokes in German too...

The answer is yes, you troglodyte

I'll admit, I didn't check for spiders last time I bit any of the people I was on my most recent date with

How many people were you on your most recent date with?

captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 22d

There were four of us. I think it went well.

Spiders man?

homik@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 23d (4 replies)

Does whatever spiders can.

Buddahriffic@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 23d (3 replies)

Spin a web?

BreadOven@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 23d

Any size! Catches thieves just like flies.

BreadOven@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 23d (1 reply)

Great song, but I was referring to a slightly obscure version of spider man "spiders man". Essentially Spiderman is made up of millions of spiders crawling around in the suit, and are sentient. From one of those alternate storylines.

Buddahriffic@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 23d

Oh, guess it should have been "Spin some webs?"

DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 23d

You'd be better off eating the spider.

The world of modern dates sometimes seems strange and unpredictable, because everyone is looking for their own format of communication and sincere emotions. Funny situations and unexpected acquaintances make this process a special experience. The flick chat helps to find interesting interlocutors, freely share thoughts and find new friends. Treat the search for new acquaintances with ease and choose comfortable platforms for communication.
