Do you Tetrachromacy?

Maybe we will never know if I have the gene, unless I have kids, which at this rate seems increasingly unlikely.

Nice pity card, arenā€™t you a little young to give up on life already?

I havenā€™t given up on life and I donā€™t require anyoneā€™s pity.

Tetrachromacy was common for mammals to have so that might explain why some humans retain it even if it serves no purpose
Given how it was generally common within the animal kingdom it may once have been a required function necessary for survival

Was the intensity of sunlight less relative to what it is now or was it as a consequence of a specific diet or is it something entirely random
It largely became extinct in humans which means that evolution did not require the characteristic to be replicated in any significant way

Would have be an advantage to predators seeking out prey whose defence mechanism was camouflage
Also to those able to differentiate between lethal and non lethal species who had very similar features

All I know, is that I see colours within a colour or surrounding an object.

Are you calling me a predator Surreptitious75? :laughing:

Iā€™m not good with bright lights or sunlightā€¦ never have been, and wonder if this is part of the condition. Google saysā€¦?

Thereā€™s something to be said for arranged marriage hereā€¦ not marriage by force, but more a match-making of sorts.

Some events companies hold mixersā€¦ disguised as networking drinks, but at least they make it easier to meet someone with the option to date.

Sounds a bit depressing to be honest.

Lolā€¦ Iā€™ve been to some fun parties over the years, but I did go with friends, so that might be whyā€¦ it might not have been so much, if I had gone alone.

You canā€™t meet anyone if you donā€™t go outā€¦ as they say.

I work most evenings, which can be a bit of a problem.

You could fit something in around your scheduleā€¦ every time Iā€™ve gone to go out lately, itā€™s rained, which dampened my mood to go outā€¦ literally lol.

I try. Iā€™ve been to a number of festivals when I have time off, for example. Often camping, which I really enjoy.

You do not have to go out anymore to just meet someone because the whole world is at your fingertips
Now one cannot guarantee success but in terms of sheer quantity there has never been so much choice
Though eventually you need to meet someone in the flesh but just not straight away unless you want to

Iā€™ve spoken to quite a lot of nutters online, so itā€™s definitely not my preferred option.

I am not sure that the odds on meeting fewer of them in real life are actually any more favourable
So you take a risk either way or else remain single forever but that is a decision only you can make

Better to find someone through a common network or social circle, then you may know a little about each otherā€¦ at the very least, which is a better starting-point than not.

The only thing left is to hope ā€˜the feeling is mutualā€™ as thereā€™s nothing worse than a one-sided attraction.

Meeting someone is the easy part, meeting someone you likeā€¦ not so much.

Kinda sounded like it, not having children is basically Extinction, loss of pride and self-worth.

Tetrachromate this, bitches!

Thatā€™s doing it, for me, bay-bee =P~

:laughing:

I guess an array of colours, is like porn, to the Tetrachromatā€™s eyesā€¦ now I feel so dirty. :neutral_face:

let me guess; faster, faster!? i could move the cam vertically too, if you want.

for real though, the clerks at the sherwin williams thought i was a crazy man when they saw me do that.
