We don’t date based on potential. Who is he TODAY, sis?

I was watching a video where Mark Cuban was asked if he’d rather work with someone that had potential or someone that was already an expert and good in their field.

He said he would always choose the current expert over potential. He said “everyone has potential”, it doesn’t mean anything unless someone actually tries though.

I think that’s valuable to remember. Everyone has the potential to be HV. But most people don’t want to. Potential is abundant and cheap. Don’t date potential. Date those that show the results.

Think like a boss.

I wasted half of my 20’s dating potential

Current my divorcing the ex who had potential, which he never followed through on. Never again! Wasted so much time with him, but so glad for the day I decided it had to end.

potential means nothing if they never apply themselves baby!

Yes, this so much!! When a guy opens up to you about his state of mind, or emotionally problems, he is seeking a loving, giving person to validate him and rehabilitate him. So once he "feels better," he can go after the girls he KNOWS he deserves, and will drop you like the toilet paper he wipes his ass with.

There's a difference between a man who is honest about needing support, and doesn't lean on you to fix him, and a soft boy, fuck boy, who will project all of his shit onto you so it doesn't feel like his problem anymore. Trust me, they'll do the same to the next girl. It's only a matter of time. Can't hide from yourself forever, idiot!

This is going to be my new standard reply when telling girls to dump their boyfriends in /r/relationships

Amen!

Right. The only way you could possibly date based on potential is if his parents planted the right seeds. If they didn’t, next!

threadinsidepinhole · 2020-01-15T23:51:24+00:00

Fuck. Yes.

Would it still be considered a LVM if he is kind, compassionate, treats you like you’re the only woman in the world, but you can’t see him as a husband because his financial health is ailing?
