Being on OLD again after a few years has made me realize just how much crap women have to put up with to filter through all the LVMs that are floating around. I used to always give men the benefit of the doubt or assume maybe they meant something in a way other than how I was interpreting it, but all of you wonderful ladies have opened my eyes up to the reality.

I was chatting with a man that seemed extremely promising. It's only been a couple of days but he was different, solely because he would actually respond with engaging answers and asked interesting questions. That is, until today... when he asked me to take a road trip with him to a beach over an hour away. We haven't even met in person yet.

I used to let things like that slide because I figured men aren't aware of the things women have to worry about, like going somewhere far away with a stranger. Thanks to FDS I now see that as a massive red flag. So, no thanks pseudo-HVM, I don't feel like being murdered.
