Why "political" sweets?

Since it feels like everything revolves around politics these days, I figured I might as well acknowledge it—but the "politics" here is simple: respect. Treat every user like an individual. Let’s aim for actual dialogue and find common ground through basic courtesy and decent vibes.😬

I truly believe everyone here has something sweet to contribute, so let's work together😳 to make this thread as enjoyable as possible by following the house rules.😬

Thanks to DreamWorks for the title idea. 🤣

🙂 Me, myself, and I
I just gave your idea a little nudge.🕺

🎉👍

Nicole Myers said:When we typed Dream into the search engine, this guy kept popping up. 😁

Oh yeah, now I remember 🤣

Grace Anderson3 said:This one's for Dream:

Thanks 😍
I really love it—saved it for a rainy day, maybe.

Nicole Myers said:Dream, remember this one? 🤣

Haha, I remember it, though the context is a bit fuzzy. What was the deal with that again? 🤔

The day’s going to go south on its own—I might as well give it a little nudge 🕺
So, we're all just here to list out how much we helped ruin things, right?

Carl Rivera43 said:Finally found a decent rhythm today... weekends are always the worst for staying in touch. People with free time have way too much of it, and people who are busy don't have any at all.

What do you mean by a "better rhythm"—are you responding slower or is she just faster?

Carl Rivera43 said:The reality is that women who are, say, more curvaceous respond way slower than others.

For example, it looks like this:

Željko Vedran Markić — response in about 2 to 8 seconds.
Taylor Swift — response in about 2 to 4 hours.

Lady Gaga — an emoji {maybe after seven to twenty days}.

Sure, if Lady Gaga is living life in the clouds—but if she’s a girl with a normal mindset, a healthy self-image, and a grounded view of the world, she won't be sending an emoji ten days late. Of course, that assumes she actually wants to chat and isn't just using silence to signal she couldn't care less. But you'll experience that same thing from Markić or Taylor Swift if they aren't feeling it.
So again, it's not about attractiveness—it's about how you perceive yourself compared to others, whether there's any actual desire to talk, or how much that person matters to you. It's like... you might not really feel like texting your Uncle Vincent, but he's family and you love him, kind of. So you reply. That's how it works. There are a lot of factors at play.

Anyway, nothing like dropping a philosophical thought at 7 AM on a Sunday while the rest of the sane world is still asleep.😍

Carl Rivera43 said:The issue is that some guys are way too eager—especially when dealing with women who aren't exactly high on the attractiveness scale.

Sometimes the questions are just absurd: "Where are you?" "When will you call?" "Who's coming?"

Meanwhile, some attractive women might take two, three, or even ten days—maybe weeks—to actually reply.

Others just respond with bizarre emojis.

I don't see any correlation between how attractive someone is and how fast they text back. It’s more likely about how they were raised, whether they actually have free time, or if they just have a mature outlook—you know, without all that middle school drama.

Anthony Nguyen81 said:Reply when you can. Ideally, as soon as you can.

If someone needs a few hours to get back to you, just adapt to their pace.

Sometimes people are busy; sometimes they just don't care.
If it's someone playing those hot-and-cold games with response times, you either make them a priority or you cut ties.

You can't lose your mind over certain things, but if someone clearly doesn't want to talk to you, why would you bother talking to them? 🤷

🙂

Nicole Myers said:I consider quick replies to be a virtue, so I don't see the issue. You check it off your list and move on.

But if you really want to delay responding, stop staring at your phone. Leave it at home, or decide you'll only check messages three times a day and answer then.
If it's just about one specific person, just mute the notifications.

🙂
There you go. They've covered everything.😁

Hey Nancy, I'm heading over to your Discord 🙂
Honestly, I don't get why they didn't just let you in—it's totally useless.

Right then, it hit her... lockdown... the grocery stores... cooking oil... DAMN OIL!!!! She realized she’d forgotten to grab some, and now there's probably nothing left on the shelves. Her eyes just welled up while she...

It was all on him. The drone that the unnamed used to get here blew up during landing—started a fire, which ended up spooking the elephants. He scrambled to hop on Discord to call his twin, Jean-Claude Van Damme, for backup.

Yeah, she left Small Town, USA a long time ago, but the Midwest never really left her... It was then she remembered those old lines: "Stay right here!.. The sun in a foreign sky will never warm you like this one does...", followed by this:
"I still remember those words
That my father always used to say
Don't you ever wander off, son
Your place is here, among the stones and the trees

Let the crust of the bread be hard
Let the wine drip and the salt sting
Let your kin be your rock
As long as you love America, son"
.. And suddenly, she felt this overwhelming urge to just scream: Fuck you, Smith's, I'm not going anywhere—who else is gonna feed my chickens? That's when it hit her—she and Smith's didn't have a future. In that exact moment..

*My apologies to everyone from the Midwest for the botched dialect; I was winging it, and clearly, there wasn't much "in my head" to work with. driftingmarlin44, nice job with the dialect

But since the wedding dress was red—per Vlad's specific request—it ended up being just a tiny shade darker, a sort of rotten cherry color. The scent clinging to it matched the vibe perfectly. Since Katie grew up working hard on the family farm, she hopped out of that septic tank with the kind of effortless grace you'd see in a cast from Mission: Impossible. Nothing could shake her resolve to...

Chess or poker?

Grace Sanders44 said:I don't think the point is about women posting photos in leggings—that’s beside the point. If you men actually wanted to show some support for Silvio, you should all just start wearing leggings yourselves. 👋

🙂 For the spin.
That would be some real support. 👍
Thanks to Walter Baker2 for the helpful suggestion. 👍

Walter Baker2 said:I'm all for it—let that officer get a good look at Grace Sanders44's leggings 🍿 Alex Carter, you wearing leggings too?

Walter, you're actually being lighthearted about this topic... for once. 🧐

Sam Alvarez4 said:@George

Wear your convictions on your sleeve—fight for what you believe in. Just maybe skip the mindless polls...

Sadly, that's just the 21st-century digital landscape for you.
A place where one person's trivial distraction is another person's life mission.

👍 Well done

George, just be yourself. We aren't here to tell you how to live.

William Grant20 said:🤣 Look, I’ve told him a hundred times—just try showing up somewhere without being tucked in so tight (not naked, obviously) and see how the conversation with women goes. But he won't do it. He thinks that would basically be an invitation to ask for sex, and he’s just not interested in that approach. 😳 🤣

It’s the same thing when people tell him not to sleep with them—suddenly that’s a problem too, right? 🧐
Still, I respect his refusal to follow the crowd. You’d probably suggest taking him under your wing to explain things, but honestly? He’s cool the way he is. We don't see many people this authentic. I just hope it doesn't bite him in the ass too hard.

@George—I'm with you.

William Grant20 said:How do you not get it? People are annoyed by those leggings because his anatomy is on full display. Some women in Santa Barbara even told him he’s got ugly balls. And here we are, fighting for the right to wear whatever we want. 😳

🙂 Glad to see the trolling is dying down a bit.
It's a shame he doesn't realize that a basic cost/benefit analysis—even without doing the math—suggests he should probably ditch the leggings (at least for a day) if he actually wants people to notice... the digits of Pi. 🤣
Or, if this is strictly about principle, then respect.

Women in Santa Barbara said that? 🤣 Fine, if that's the case...
Most of us have functional neck muscles, don't we? We can just look away if we don't like what we're seeing.

Grace Sanders44 said:They really ought to listen since I publicly retracted my vote. It’s fixable—shouldn't be an issue. Why not just ask if they can delete it? And why didn't anyone else bother voting?

silverwolf88 said:
I assume they're actually reading your post .

I bolded the part where the mods are making threats

Nah, they aren't going to change anything based on one person's post—at least, I doubt it. You'd have to ask them.
Silvio, your poll was set up so confusingly at first glance that it’s no wonder Grace Sanders44 messed up. I don't see how you managed to turn two simple options into this much chaos 🤣
Besides, I don't get the whole thing about the leggings. Let the guy wear leggings; it doesn't hurt anyone (maybe himself), and who cares what he wears? It's his life...

Oh, one more thing—maybe the questions are phrased that way because he expresses himself better through math derivatives. We're all a little lacking if we're "rewarded" on the other side.
