A wise choice. I wish I had just linked it without clicking it myself.
Sites shouldn't stop giving us filtering options. Steam gave us 12. Reddit, like 100, 200? Twitter - some words?
Trust me, its not enough. On Reddit, there's always some new subreddit you can't stand coming in to prominence. On Twitter, I'm tired of seeing American-oriented political trends. Steam - trust me I need more than 12 tag filters. So on and so on. Let me customize dammit.
Hell give us some to begin with. Look at Deviant art. LOOK AT IT. I will be a happy thang if everything was tagged and blockable. The -boorus do it best, really. I can live without seeing bimbofication, diapers, weird gaze pics, furry stuff, the lot.

We need a word for when you're struggling to decide what to wear today and end up paralyzed with indecision.
Where am I going, and who am I seeing today? What did I wear the last time they saw me?
How formal do I need to dress today? Comfort, or style?
What areas of my body are troubling me today, that I need to work around?
What's the weather like, what would be appropriate for the temperature?
What color is expressing my personality today?
What colors can I pair with that?
What types of layering do I need?
What shoes am I going to wear? Do I need tights, or leggings? Am I wearing jeans, a skirt, a dress?
What accessories do I feel like? Will my favorite necklace work with this turtleneck, or do I need to change something?
How did I go from having an hour to prepare to just ten minutes?

It's pretty easy: jeans, a collared shirt, Merrill jungle mocs.
The only questions on this list I worry about are those related to weather and if it's formal or casual (since I rarely have formal situations going on anymore, I settle for "clean and not covered in cat hair"). This time of year I consult the Weather Network and look out the window to figure out if I will need my winter coat or if my other one that works for the other seasons will do (it usually does, and I layer accordingly because unless it's -30C or colder, the winter coat will be too warm).
I've dithered and fretted about jewelry, but not for a long time now. Those situations usually cropped up when I was trying to accessorize my SF convention costumes. I haven't been to one of those for over 20 years.
As a professional interpreter I know that there's a word for it in German and/or we can assemble a new one. Since I'm not doing German today I'll leave it for another time, but it sounds like something fun to do when classes restart later this month.

So after 4 billion years of evolution with pretty much one project at hand, breeding, my anxiety always gets triggered like a mofo by the slightest slither of a possibility of any commitment with females. This crap doesn't add up. I want answers!

In many ways that's the ultimate life hack. Just bang dudes instead.

Male or female bear?

Our ancestors of the male persuasion had two vastly different DNA survival strategies available. Commit to family unit so offspring have better chance to survive to viability, or just spew offspring wildly and hope the numbers carry the day. It is entirely possible that your genetics push you for the latter rather than the former.

Well, your ancestors may have consistently followed some other survival strategy, but take heart in the fact that whatever they did it apparently worked.

What if the bears reject me. I'm not sure I could deal with that.
My ancestors are laughing their Moderator Action: Word removed off.
Moderator Action: Please don't use that word on the forums, Snerk. --LM

It's a numbers game. More connections, more potential, less anxiety over time. Or you just need to address the anxiety as a separate issue. See our resident professional @Lemon Merchant .
