Why Bumble Failed

That’s it. And y’all think shaving your legs and doing your hair is hard. Fucking LOL. Try years of rejection and effort, often for very little. Shows how little most women know about men’s lives, really.

And as I’ve already said, being unused to it, very many women cannot handle rejection. The more attractive the woman, the more traumatizing it is too (for her) and the more likely she is to go nuclear and attempt to destroy your life if you reject her.

Release

What happened to the Red Lobster of the โ€™80s and โ€˜90s? Like so many beloved brands, it got caught in the net of private equity before being reeled in and gutted.

Yep. Didn’t have a fucking thing to do with all-you-can-eat shrimp. That’s a PR plant to take the focus off private equity. Know how I know this? Because all the news stories on various sites read exactly the same. That’s a clear sign. And because I used to write press releases for the US Army all the time and it was always funny to see some lazy journalist use my press release verbatim in “their” story — so I am accustomed to looking for such things.

The signs are obvious if you can read them (guess that’s always true of signs though).

That’s Mine

Nearly everything has a price. I was thinking how much cold hard cash it’d take for me to get a tattoo. For a small one non-visible with normal clothes on, I’d do it for $750,000.

For a larger, visible-with-regular-clothes tattoo (neck tattoo, arms, etc.) I’d do it for $20 million. I’d not get a face tattoo for any price or any other incentive.

I remember when girls dressed like that commonly, and often in far less. For example, it was not at all unusual to see a woman in a bikini in the grocery store at the height of summer in Florida. I don’t think I’ve seen that since the early 2000s.

All those who said times weren’t becoming more puritanical were way, way wrong. When I posited it nearly a decade ago, my correct view was in the minority. Now it’s widely recognized as being right.

As ever, damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
