A big bunch of dating advice out there sounds like marketing classes to me, really. You need to hype the product so it looks better than it is.
It can be done without lying, but if everybody else has marketing more aggressive than your's, you are going to have bad trouble selling your product.

Marketing (at least with regards to personal branding) is all about discovering a problem that the customer has, finding and fixing a customer's problem for a price, and picking a niche to make you the biggest player in the market - at least in the beginning.
If your target niche is "Personal Companionship for Female Babylon 5 Cosplayers", good luck.
Everything in life is somewhere else. Does your date live in walking distance from you? Do you both have bicycles? Skates? A home cooked dinner sounds cool, but that means going to a store and spending money on food.

We really were not talking about my situation, either. Originally, I was on pointing out that someone else was correct when they said that it takes mone to date someone and keep them interested.
Reason I asked you is because (1) I think you are slightly younger than I
am (and therefore younger than women my age), and (2) I was pretty certain that I live farther away from all these wonderful, walkable free things than the distance you'd be willing to walk.
There is one park that I might be able to get to from here in 15 minutes walking, if I am able to catch the traffic at a major highway intersection just right. That is also the park where the junkies hang out, which does not tick you "safety" box. Plus, if I had someone with me, it'd take
longer than 15 minutes.
Any of this other wonderful free stuff is not within "free travel" distance for anyone who might be walking with me (although some of it would be in walking distance for me... 30 minutes one way is nothing unless it is Summer).

It was interesting that the three Jack Webb series were all spinoffs, and took place in the same TV universe. There was an episode of Adam-12 where they had to spend a day or two doing airport security, and that story felt like a possible spinoff. There was also talk of one of the paramedics leaving LA and becoming a park ranger. that would've been the springboard for another series.
I have one nitpick about Adam 12. Their radio ID was 1 Adam 12. The number 1 designates precinct or patrol area, Adam is the police phonetic for a 2 man patrol car, and 12 tells them apart from the other patrol cars. Precinct 1 was downtown LA, and Precinct 2 was west of downtown, also known as Rampart.
Adam 12 operated out of the Rampart station on the series (show was filmed in west LA county) so technically their radio callsign should be 2 Adam 12

That sounds like a great method. Finding a system that works for you, and

Ask anyone who grew up in the 70s what the beep pattern for Squad 51, and they'll probably be able to mimic it.
What I didn't know was that there was some PR element to the show. LA was part of a pilot program for fire departments to have EMTs driving alongside the traditional fire crews, and the tele-health units that transmitted vital signs to the hospital was new tech. The show was intended to show both off.

Ah, hippies and misunderstood teenage revolution. Occasionally a clip from Dragnet appears on Facebook, when Friday chews out some teen becuase he wants to rebel since society is stacked against him. Funny part is you dind't know it was a clip from a show 55 years ago, you would think he's talking about millenials and their push button, on demand, want it now society.
I though Emergency was the coolest. The portable EKG machine that could send telemetry back to the hospital was pretty slick. Portable defibulators were cool too.
I was reading your posts, and it reminded me of my Grandpa Mike.

When I was young and it was on afternoon TV, I did, too. I even had a couple of their "official" plastic toy fireman hats.

I got a small black Plano fishing tacklebox. My father thought I was weird for keping band aids and bactine spray in it instead of fishing lures. My mother was an RN before becoming a full time mom. She knew the Emergency reference.

World building is a pain. A new world with it's own rules must also comply to the rules several chapters into the story. Then there's fleshing out integral charaters. Winston Groom author of Forrest Gump, wrote a book where nearly every member in the rifle company was more
than just a name. Other than the primary story, there were several
side stories, and people's names would appear or be brought up which in turn added to their personal story.

I knew a friend who consistently failed with establishing a GF.
His modus operandi was to get a girl for a wife and have kids,
and he said that he threw that question out there early in the
dating game. And he wondered why he rarely got a 2nd date.
i don't think there's anything wrong with being direct, just as long
as the delivery isn't crappy.
Then you make an actual friend and he gets cancer and then
COVID the same day, and the Welfare dudes decide to
collectivelly murder the guy by inaction.
Uh-oh. Sorry if I triggered a bad memory.
millions of people died of covid because they were denied ****HORSE DEWORMER*** and that medication that trump and others took "hydroxychloroquine" and other medicines. that's what happens when you get evil pharmaceutical companies like merck involved with this bullshit. ivermectin is like 1 penny a dose.
it's came out that some of these medications do help covid treatment.

Hmm... they definitely go to different schools than my kiddos did. Their schools had field trips to farms and ranches around the area, lessons in science about foods we eat and where they come from and more.

My youngest daughter is very much goth, she dies her hair black, she has naturally pale skin that she highlights. (Side note: I am Hispanic but my youngest got none of the melatonin genes. My son is naturally tan. You can tell that they are siblings in their facial shape and features, but they look like night and day versions of each other.)
She has periods where she's depressed, but for the most part she just likes the goth style.

Regardles the course of study, any project start out with a plan. Gather data, then sort and organize it to make sentences, paragraphs and chapters that make sense.
It does make sense. My brain doesn't exactly work like that for writing. I can work within sections, like "the first part will be where Rodrigo meets Linda and they become installed, the second part is when Rodrigo goes off
to college and turns into a dick, the last part is when Linda and Rodrigo meet up again 20 years later." Then I just write and write to fill out the sections. After my first draft, then I go in and break up each section into chapters and scenes.
I guess I am backwards regarding writing. :)

i didn't follow the money on this article but i bet the pharm companies had their hand in it. merck was big on the anti ivermectin because
they are one of the companies making a vaccine.
it certainly has to be looked into further because these 2 drugs do
show promise. there's some stories that says it doesn't improve
recovery 'much'. that atleast means it does something for some people.
we really understand very little about any of this.

also ivermectin is more than a 'horse dewormer'; it's a legit drug. of course, people shouldn't take it in huge doses. that's just
stupid.

IMO.. Using ivermectin as a treatment for COVID made no sense, as this product is used to deworm horses. Worms and viruses are biologically

already proven not to be an effective treatment for COVID.

Yeah, I'd probably get the same reaction here. But from what I've heard, it seems there are places where it's more common for people to talk to strangers while shopping.

That's why I carry gospel tracts... Well, one reason. :-)
It's much easier to start a conversation with the intent to share the Gospel when you can had a million dollar bill. :-) And if it doesn't feel like it's going to be able to be a conversation, then they can still
take the tract home with them.
Ask anyone who grew up in the 70s what the beep pattern for Squad 51, and they'll probably be able to mimic it.
What I didn't know was that there was some PR element to the show. LA was part of a pilot program for fire departments to have EMTs driving alongside the traditional fire crews, and the tele-health units that transmitted vital signs to the hospital was new tech. The show was intended to show both off.

Emergency was on 50 years ago. The chief nurse wore pants suits and
that was sa point when nurses uniforms were evolving from those old
style dresses. The portable ekg machine with RF data link to the
hospital was fairly modern. By the later episodes the ekg machine had
a defibrulator built in.
Funny thing is the chief nurse was married in real life to the gray
haired doctor, and was written in to be the love interest of the other main doctor. The dispatch operator who would speak over the talk box
was the real LA county dispacter. Several of the firefighters were
real firefighters. The fire chief who would appear at the fire scenes
was the actuall county fire chi ef. I get the impression the show producers got access to the new stuff, and handed it over to the ifre department when the series was over.
