Context, her exact wording is: "I want to be a DINK. If that's not for you, then swipe left."

I'm not up to date on my new age slang. The hell does that mean?

Yeah, it's been around for a minute. I'm pretty sure that's why the neighbor on Nickelodeon's "Doug" had that as a surname.

Was gonna post this.
It's funny what goes over your head as kids.

I saw a lady post "swipe left if you use pronouns". I probably spent too much thinking what that meant. I took it pretty literally, like any pronouns at all

It also tells you that she is plans to have a career and not be a housewife, and you'd better be gainfully employed too.

Yeah it's skipping a few potential conversations, each with independent weighted value

Usually acronyms suck but it makes sense here

She also wants to make sure you are working and not going to leech off her income.

I hate this so much, but I managed to convince an acquaintance that it isn't so bad.

"I want my profiles to be 100% complete. I am Asian after all. I want 100% on assignments."

She had no retort for me after I said that.

Learned it from this show as a kid. You can buy very expensive things as a DINK.

It can absolutely be "too late" for a guy to have kids. Maybe not physically, but as far as realizing the negatives of raising a baby when you're old enough to be what would, normally, be their grandparent.

(Apologies in advance for killing the thread)
Nah.

Im just one of those people who wasnt meant to be with someone romantically lol. Ive certainly tried and it just never works out for me. *I* dont think theres anything wrong with me, but the fact that I never get a real reason for getting dumped or rejected means theres gotta be something that no one has the decency to tell me

And then of course theres the job thing. I make like $37,000-ish a year without overtime or bonuses (neither of which are guaranteed) so I cant even afford kids or even a relationship tbh. I cant find a better-paying job (and believe me, I look a lot) and for the life of me I cant think of anything to go to school for that would start me off at a good salary. Im too old to start at the bottom rung and spend years working my way up.

As a 36 year old dude whos this far behind in life having a family is an incredibly unrealistic goal. I cant imagine finding a woman who has the patience to deal with the fact that I have the dating experience of a middle schooler and make like no money
