Stayed at a hotel recently and the mattress was incredibly comfortable. A rarity here. Now I’m trying to land on the least crazy way to discover the brand. Take a day trip to the hotel and ask the front desk. Book a single night, remove the covers, and check the tags. Send an email or call and try to explain in broken Japanese. Take a part time job as cleaning staff or otherwise infiltrate their ranks.

Sounds like you have truly adapted to Japan: those are some of the most indirect and non-confrontational ways to get a trivial bit of information I have ever read.

Seeing the double date feature on Tinder is wild. It'll ruin the already broken dating market further. 

Some people argue it'll put Chads/Staceys in 1 lane and everybody else in another but that’s not how it works. It'll just give chads easier access to staceys friends. 

It's nearly july now, 5 months left. Some chats this week but none sane enough to date. IRL things are improving though, more women going out and open to talk to in this weather. The political climate and NATO summit police presence helps too, fewer sand people harrassing women on the streets.

I've tried to watch through the x-files a number of times, never make it through more than 4 or 5 seasons

finally just went and looked up what the central plot/conspiracy is

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

alien colonists plan on coming back to earth to resettle it, and there's a syndicate on earth now prepping it for colonization, and then there's more shit about a black oil DNA thing that can turn things into aliens and/or attempts to make human-alien hybrids

I guess it's never meant to be spelled out in simple terms, throughout the show you just get a small hint here or there, but this just sounds so incredibly quaint, boring, and obvious

I get that these themes are horrifying if they were true, but it doesn't feel like it's the kind of thing that should be "the answer" to all the buildup

by comparison, an example I would give of something that is truly original and weird even when summarized is twin peaks

The ending of x files was terrible. It’s the most logical and keeps with the show, but fuck if they don’t just leave it as a loose end.

original, or new modern season, or actually both?

e: shouldn't say "new," of course it's 10 fucking years old

Got two new matches. One has the occupation "X at government". Which I'm guessing is the ministery of interior and I recognize her from somewhere. The other is a Chinese corporate bank chick. I updated the profile to lean into the villain theme more over the weekend and it's attracting the legal/government/corpo types. 

I've changed my chatting game and it's working quite well. I Ask what they're excited about once the convo gets going. It moves the chat away from talking about work, previous dates and other stuff that just kills the vibe. It also gives a way better sense of their private personality. I also keep it more serious. Funny curveball 'on brand' opener, a few jokes sprinkled in between but not overdoing it or making it too complicated. More aloof, less intense and also not putting a censor on things in terms of the gifs I deploy, American Psycho walks into their chat and The Wolf of Wall Street.
 
Good progress so far, Chinese chick moved things to whatsapp without a fuzz. Out of the two I find her the most attractive.

3 chats went nowhere because I figured out quickly the women weren't serious about dating, were depressed "is there anything to be excited about?" bye, or crazy "steak? red meat has parasites". This one is fun and sane so far, so let's see if tommorow we can set a time/place to meet.

Just the other day I had this convo with my friends as I was chomping down some Iberico pork chop cuisine. Where they concluded that I'm a cunt and I need a cunt wife and maybe we'd have cunt kids. And in this case my perfect weekend is her perfect weekend, is it something inspiring like coaching a kids soccer team, building a treehouse or being with family or whatever? No of course not, it's a list of activities for selfish cunts.

Audible doing the .99 for 3 months deal again. I've gotten into the habit of using the credits on a series then waiting for next offer. I might make a start on Stephen King's Dark Tower.

I gotta say, this whole journey you’ve been on makes me wonder if it’s grim out there or user error.

Connected to earlier mattress talk. I made the mistake of reading the mattress reddit forum. Some of those guys are nutso. They actively talk about losing their minds after spending months and years finding the right mattress made with highly specific coils and foams. Some guy will chime in with “I bought a serta at a mattress store and sleep fine”. Everybody jumps in with how bad the foam quality is. “What about tempur?” Oh apparently the foam starts sagging after a few years. Then there’s a whole crowd way into latex mattress from Malaysia. To say nothing about how many are hung up on the idea of mattress brands getting worse over the years. You can drive yourself crazy with choice paralysis.

dude you gotta get the SoftSleep PleasantRest XL, but only ones with a model number starting with PL-5, the earlier OL-5s had a defect in the lower springs, but yeah this model uses double stitching at the corners which will increase the bed's overall lifetime by a good 10%

It's grim out there but it's also a matter of finding the right matches and I'm fishing in the right pond now. The ghosting is over, the 24/7 tiresome gf/bf chat experiences are over. 

Most of the women I now match with are on the same level. They just had other priorities much like myself. I don't have to drag them along like the Latina. 

The gov digs me, her opener: fav karaoke song. My answer: The Man Who Sold The World. She likes it. Game plan is the same, get her number, move her to whatsapp so I can see if she has time to date over the weekend. It'll take some time, she's not online a lot.

The Latina chick turned out to be just another stepping stone in the right direction, she made me remember what a kind/caring/insecure person I'd have to take along for the ride is like. All the bold stuff she did, that was her friend Paz that put her up to it. And in hindsight I wonder if Paz was even real or in her head. Because Paz always suddenly appeared during her 'episodes' and I could never quite tell if she came over from Germany or Chile. I'm now aiming for someone more intelligent and persistent who didn't have her brain fried.

I've also decided to move out of this place this year or next year. Moving to a different town will give me a better opportunity to meet new people and I really want a luxury bathroom and a balcony already. Can't afford to buy anything here but in other towns I can. I'm also going to travel more and do more of the things I planned to do with my future girlfriend, bigger chance to find her doing the same activities. In that sense I need someone who doesn't feel bad if we fine dine every week and visit a different city/concert and ultimately F1 race every month. If she cooks, knows about house plants or is good with children is somewhere way down the fucking list.

While not everyone understands and I understand why they don't, guys like me are necessary. I was out for 2 weeks and our revenue was down 50% in May compared to April. I relentlessly texted everyone yesterday until 23:59 to find every penny we could charge. YoY revenue is up 40% in June again. People think I'm an asshole texting after working hours but they also know doing things the Nintex way gets results.

My friends are conflicted. They were hoping the dating would soften me up, that women would fall for the animal photos, story telling and loyalty to my parents. Instead of putting me on a path of drifting a black Nissan GTR through a homeless camp. But they're happy I have a clear direction now and that I'm very upbeat about the future dystopia I'm building.
