  1. Sort of, I suppose. I've never used dating apps/websites and never will, but I met someone by chance on the internet in an extremely unlikely way and it sort of developed from nothing into talking into a "relationship", and then sort of fizzled out unceremoniously afterwards. I don't think I like online dating, too much gets lost online and unless you have a plan to close the distance and meet up in the very near future it is pretty much never going to be sustainable.
  2. By burying my head in the sand and keeping so busy that I have no time to think about anything that might upset me.
  3. If I'd know everything I know now, then definitely - I'd probably live my life mostly the same as I do now, but it would always be nice to correct a few key life decisions and events that went wrong in the past. Otherwise, absolutely not.
  4. Somewhere between 10-10:30pm most nights. If I've had a long day I'll go earlier (9pm-ish), and very rarely I'll go later (either because I'm out/doing something or there's just otherwise some sort of impediment to sticking to my usual schedule).
  5. Either a customer service or carer role. I don't have the patience, compassion or temperament for either; but admire those who do.
  6. I guess you mean the UK's royal family, in which case I'll also say the late QE II. Otherwise I'll also join Splashee and go for Carl Gustaf, since he is incredibly down-to-earth by royal standards and has (in my opinion*) handled the transition to an increasingly anti-monarchic society quite well in Sweden, and ironically retained a great deal of his popularity due to that. *I'm not a Swede and have only ever lived in Sweden for 11 months and visited twice more, so my opinion is essentially meaningless, but hey-ho.
  7. I can't eat gluten, that's about it. It sucks, but in the grand scheme of things I'm quite lucky.
  8. I'm a metalhead through and through, the heavier the better. Seen a ton of bands live, even played in a metal band myself, and have loved the genre ever since I was 11. Nevertheless, this song is a guilty pleasure for me:
  9. She's the best. Introverted and understated in the same way that I am, but also intelligent and kind and interesting. I don't speak to my parents that much, but the only real negative thing I could say about my mother is that sometimes she could stand to be more logical. She makes decisions based on emotions and whims sometimes, a line of thinking I don't think I will ever understand.
  10. Nope. I'm pretty big (1.9m and 94kg), I'm strong, and I've been told I look like I'm angry a lot so I'd probably fit the requirements at first glance, but in all honesty I'm a coward - unless the person I'm protecting is someone I care about a tremendous amount then I'd just run at the first sign of danger. Not risking my life for someone I barely know just because he/she pays me.
  11. My natural speaking voice is pretty quiet but I can raise my voice to be stupidly loud, to the point that I've never actually met anyone who can shout as loudly as me. I'm confident that people streets away could hear me clearly if I shouted out my window right now.
  12. None. Last time I got a DEXA scan they said I had around 1.25x the average bone density of a man my age, so I'm pretty lucky
  13. https://voca.ro/1kjlbSWk6hEF Pretty bog standard southern English accent
  14. 😊 <- Definitely this one. I don't use emojis often (in fact almost never), but this one probably sees about 90% of the total emoji action on my phone
  15. Not particularly. It wouldn't be a dealbreaker though
  16. RIP Pele. For those not into football he was Brazil's all-time top goalscorer, he scored over 1200 goals in his entire career, and he was the only man to ever win three world cup titles. Has to be in the conversation when talking about who the potential GOAT is.
  17. Appalling. I'm extremely impatient, although I'm often quite good at hiding it
  18. Nope but I was stick thin when I was about 13-14. I remember shortly after my fourteenth birthday I was 67kg @ 185cm (150ish lbs @ 6'1, for Americans) and I remember that being a critical turning point in my life for me to want to put on more weight.
  19. Dunno. I'd like to think I won't be single forever but it's very rare for me to meet somebody I actually want to spend time with, and in the past when that has happened I have tended to unintentionally sabotage it in some way or another, usually by burying my head in work or studying and neglecting the other person - although at least now I am aware of my tendency to do so and may be able to control it going forward. But still, the odds aren't stacked in my favour
  20. The two biggest ones are gluten and seed oils. I didn't realise my body tolerated gluten badly so I was consuming it pretty much every day, and I paid no attention to the types of fats which I was consuming as I had no idea that they were dangerous. Otherwise my diet now is pretty similar to what I had as a kid - pretty much a carbon copy of a paleo diet with the occasional piece of chocolate and some coffee thrown in.
  21. The more I spend Christmas with my parents, the more I'm reminded that alcohol might very possibly be the single worst thing in the world that is legal and widely consumed.
  22. I'm 26. Things that make me feel young: I'm aging in reverse (sort of). I look younger facially now than I did when I was 16 and multiple people have said so I have a lot of energy, particularly in the morning I'm physically strong and have reasonably good cardiovascular stamina Things that make me feel old: The sheer number of social media platforms these days that I have no idea how to use The fact that video games all seem to be boring, contrived nonsense these days and none of them present any interest to me I always get tired at 10pm and can't stay up past midnight anymore Every single one of my friends is either in a serious relationship, engaged, married, or has a child I don't drink alcohol and don't like parties
  23. 2017. I live 45 mins away by highspeed train (or about 1h20 by car) so I have no excuse, I just hate capital cities. Too large, too smelly, too many people.
  24. I can only grow a beard around my nose/mouth/chin - it grows very thick on these places, but doesn't grow at all on the sides of my face. Quite annoying.
