Yeah, he could at least share the website of the detailer if it has pictures couldn't he?

I have a question for the team:

When did a degree in Cosmetology become an Advanced Degree?

I'm asking this seriously. I've been in communication with 2 or 3 ladies on sites and they are labeling their Cosmetology certification as an advanced degree. If this is the case, I need to inform my family members with mere law degrees, PhDs and MDs that they have new peers in the educational pantheon.

I'm out.

You once indicated you have shares in the company worth about $5M. That suggest you are either lucky, or not young (but perhaps not old). This is interesting, but neither here nor there as you may be lucky, or you might be old.

Next, you've indicated you can code quite well even while impaired on narcotics, implying a level of intelligence. Therefore, I think we can safely rule out "silly" / "fool".

Lastly, from the way you speak, I would have guessed you'd be in your 50's, potentially early 60's, but I'd guess more towards the 50's mark. The older I get (at 38) the more leniency I find I'm willing to extend to the age I consider to be "old". Therefore, I wouldn't consider this age to be old.

Now if we were to put everything together, we've ruled out "silly old fool" as the correct answer. We've also eliminated "old", which suggests then that "dirty old man" is also not correct, since it contains the term "old".

And since you've promised to ship me the Lambo (either one really) and it hasn't materialized, I can only conclude that you are most assuredly a bastard, and we are therefore left with the conclusion that you are a "lucky bastard" as the correct answer.

Very astute my friend - I'm 50.

Sorry - had to crop her head out for privacy. These are her Lambo jeans.

It's now a bit uncertain as it seems she might have unfinished business with her ex and I don't want to get involved in that mess.

They all seem to have unfinished business with the ex. Based upon visual criteria, I am certain that you are not a silly old fool. Being a dirty old man simply comes with age. If you are under 30 this is normal, if you are over 30 and find women attractive, you are in fact a dirty old man.

Upon reviewing her credentials, I'm going to give you a green light to proceed. Well done sir.

.....and +1 for actually dropping a photo. There are only a few of us here that have been so bold to do such.

I don't know why not. None of us have a Lambo nor a female detailer that bought matching jeans for your car. I hope you realize how small the chances are for something like this and act accordingly.

I'm just trying to play it cool and see what happens. Not getting my hopes up.

Attaboy! Self preservation is something we as men tend to over look. Personally, I think you're golden here. Does her ex have a lambo that she bought matching jeans for? I think not. Play it cool and take what comes your way.

About the same time that dumping coffee into a cup became baristas, and working a french fry machine was suddenly worth $15/hour.

If anyone is ever bored, I would love to know the national statistics about what percentage of USA small businesses are beauty/cosmetology shops.....

Chalk another one up for baffling women...

Been chatting with a gal from Bumble, she initiated giving her number, chatting about meeting etc. for a couple of weeks. After being busy with stuff, yesterday she drops the " I don't think I am that interested" on me, ok cool, back off and go on with life...

Then she calls me and talks my ear off for over an hour last night?

I know nothing and everything of the situation you speak of. Quick answer: She was bored and was expecting a bunch of guys to be blowing up her inbox. You filled the void for a short period of time (aka her boredom). Another guy, who she thought would be better, talked to her for a while making her think she would be interested in him. Then he starts talking to another woman who he thought would be better for him, so he stopped talking to her, leaving her no other option than to go back to you. Welcome to on-line dating. (aka "You'll do until someone better comes along")

When my grandma died my grandpa remarried a girl thats the same age as my dad which is around 40. And it was kinda weird but i guess he wanted a younger chicken next to him to lay eggs.

I'm 50 she's 26, so not as much of an age gap as your grandpa, but still bad!

Do you look 50?

I know a couple and he is 49, she is 26 as I recall. That being said, he doesn't look a day over 35 I'd say, and she probably looks late 20's. So they don't look mismatched at all.

Course, you'd have to post an obligatory pic of your ugly mug for us to judge.

(And what judges we are!)

I'm not posting a pic of my ugly mug, but lets just say that I'm overweight and have a face perfect for radio

You're not a bad judge yourself. I mean, I was looking forward to being overly critical, but you sort of took the wind out of my sails.

Well, you must have other endearing qualities about you, perhaps you aren't a serial dater (or killer), you are gainfully employed at something more than minimum wage, and you are genuine? I mean that alone has got to put you above a decent bunch of the pack out there?

But I think its the accent. That said, do New Zealanders talk in the same sort of slang and have a similar accent as Aussies?

Because if so, I could see potentially how a genuine misunderstanding could have occurred. And that could have occurred if you by any chance somehow indicated the size of your deck was rather large. In that case, the accent could have led her to believe she heard something quite different...

Whilst you have to have some self confidence, you also have to be realistic.

I'm gainfully employed, kind and caring, and the NZ accent is way nicer than the Australian one

We haven't talked about my deck, but she does like the look of the pool

I work at a hospital. Recently a new chick started working here, and i bump into her in hallways passing etc. She says hi, waves etc.

Fast forward to saturday i walk into the cafeteria, and the lunchlady was speaking to her and when she sees me walking in, lunch lady says "we were jus talking about you" So, of course i stop over, and lunch lady introduces me to new girl, and says she's looking to get into a different department. I said ok, we small talk for a little (regarding her future career choice, as she is pretty young) and then she ends up going back to work. Lunch lady then says, she was going to ask for my number but "didn't get to" So i left my number with the LL, and within 45 minutes the girl texts.

I know that was ALOT of banter, but god, this girl is HOT. i have to get it... Not sure if she genuinley wants career advice, or wants something more, we'll see. She's 20 at the oldest, i'm 29. That ain't bad right
