Second counterpoint to this nonsense: the reason for avoiding hot beverages isn’t because they go flying. It’s because the water tanks/coffee machines/kettles are never cleaned and studied have shown the quality of the water to be poor.

I appreciate your concern for him, and I don’t want to sound like I’m blowing off your advice, but we have tried that with no success. I’ve offered to try and help with his technique/strategy, but he just blows me off and falls back into the same “I suck” mentality.

I guess I’m asking for more confrontational advice, because trying to change his outlook hasn’t worked. I think he really needs to hear how it affects others. Any thoughts on that question? Thanks again btw

Take time to work on yourself (especially emotionally/mentally) and make friends (meet up is a good place to meet people with similar hobbies). I look for people who are continuing to grow and improve themselves, but not a project or someone I need to change. Dating is not easy, I like OK Cupid - but only select non monogamous if you are ok with that for the duration of your relationship. All the guys I have talked to have said they have to pay for the apps that require them to see likes. Remember women are independent and want someone they enjoy hanging out with and complement them… the older women get the less ok they are with manipulation and abuse I’ve actions
