Why are you too old to date a virgin? You just said there is nothing wrong with it if the other person is projecting positivity. You telling me that meeting a nice normal virgin who is also 43 is something you're too old for?
The amount of times the tall guy, guy with the guitar, or guy with motorcycle shows up and has taken all the ladies attention in the room is countless.
It's the implications of the standard within a society of haves and have nots that bothers me. Don't have a tool? Guess you're of no romantic value. So transactional, disheartening.
This right here. I'm the best version of myself I have ever been in life; now that the grind is over I have no desire to add anything else. I'm in the ultimate position in my head, one where everything is my choice.
Being there for them when they need us, walk through fire and hell to show up when required. I've got 3 friends like this. We can count on each other when the world ends.
The men on here who apologize for someone's experiences and then go on to list a bunch of their moral values never ceases to make me chuckle. Like bro, they don't care. STFU and just keep being a good person. No need to virtue signal.
From my experience keep your old clothes. You will go through bulk and lean periods. The only thing that will keep growing is your neck so dress shirts can be tossed. I am always bouncing between 150-170 pounds.
Those are a lot of assumptions I chose not to make. Good friends can party together and have sex in the washroom for fun. That would be wild fun for me, I'm just still passing on the coke.
It's a cover up of an old thing. The new thing will be a cosmic dudes face my artist came up with. It will also complete a sleeve that is one cosmic theme and joins with a pec piece of the same variety.
It’s an awful dichotomy that many Americans and others around the world feel the way they do and do not support bodily autonomy. I wish it were not so. The lack of trust and desire/necessity for transparency is poignant.
This boils down to “agree with me immediately and outright or no chance to compromise”. Really is a zero sum game for everyone now I guess. Sad ass world.
This person could be 105 and it would still be an awful post. If you’re gonna shovel shitty generalizing in my face at least have lived a bit in the adult world.
Shit happens. Like possibly getting engaged, having that person leave you for an arbitrary reason but now you have to wait four months to be romantic again cuz someone said so even though you feel ready.
I defended all the people who actually have the emotional range to get over a relationship faster than YOUR preferences. I don’t give a fuck about the actual person of topic. You just want everyone to live life by your standards.
We don’t get to tell people when they are emotionally ready to move on with their life. If anything this guy just learned that some women will penalize you for honesty.
Person I’ve known my whole life texts me to tell me they are going through a separation. Throughout chatting I tell them I’m gonna stay with a friend to visit, they joke about offering their half of the bed. They talk about their needs not being met. Flirting continues over the course of a few days until they finally admit that their moral compass is off of late, they apologize for possibly leading me one, and admit that my attention did satisfy their ego but they need time to work on shit. Whic…
Bro I legit just lived this. Be careful and protect yourself. Sometimes people really are just fucking about looking for validation when fresh out of a relationship. Annoying but is what it is.
Where did women learn all these skills? Did men choose not to learn or are they limited by resources and/or physical design. I’m super curious where you think you are going with this statement that “Men of today lack basic communication skills” while insinuating women have them.
I told my friend I was visiting and would try and stay with her brother, she said “Oh cool, i was gonna offer up the other half of her bed”. She’s such a good friend.
Straw man here but how is this any different a position than being opposed to the body positivity movement? Societal attitudes can change with collective messaging. It was no one’s fault but an individuals if they were unhealthy but somehow we managed to change that narrative.
Didn’t help his career? I’m pretty sure after 2X president your career is over except for writing books and public speaking, both of which went well for him.
Or maybe I’m speaking from experiences just like you but we had different experiences and learned different life lessons. You go around calling people pussies when you don’t even know shit about their lives. The fact that you use emasculating language to try and change my position is indicative that I’m talking to a fucking idiot.
It can poison the opinions of new friends entering the group. If someone doesn’t know you they can form negative opinions from these first impressions.
Everyone participates in a capitalist society but they tell themselves lots of things so they feel however they want. We can play the perspective game all day long. I’ve got fields of straw men.
The outcome is the same; I retain my money, my time, and my emotional energy. I’m not expelling it for anyone. They can come find me, or not. I do not care.
I hate that I have to “win the approval” of my friends just because they are women, so that I can get further with other women. When the fuck am I supposed to live my truth, maybe I don’t want a whole gaggle of friends that I have to emotionally micro manage so that I can trade their social credit for possible affection. Trivial and stupid. This is why I’m checking out of the dating scene. Seriously, fuck all that work.
Totally lived this. Had a GF who’s friend didn’t like me for no reason at all (we had worked together previously but never interacted ever). Gaslit the GF and it was never the same. Had to break it off.
I don’t think it’s my type as I’ve also been multiple peoples’ (2) first. I’ve also had a series of partners who ranged between 2-7. The point is there are a good chunk of women out there racking up double digits by age 22 and it would be nice if you all would stop denying it within this chat group.
Lemme give you the flip side, having to commit something for personal interaction is hella annoying when you watch other men achieve the same results with the same women you desire but without the commitment and you are left sitting there going “why do I have to promise half my resources and he doesn’t?” but you already know why.
My anecdote. I have two consistant in person male friends I see maybe every two months on average each, few acquaintances I never see and then two friends who live far away that I text with, they are often too busy for calls.
Truth. Been guilty of it and am actively working hard to deprogram that behaviour. Acting with the notion “women are all wonderful” has been a mistake.
What was he supposed to do, break up the previous relationship? Not reciprocate your feelings? Like I get what you’re saying, but like fucking make a decision, you want his attention or not?
This is the boat I have fallen into. I am now 40 and single. I have the means to facilitate supporting a family but I do not desire children. It’s gonna take a lot for me to want to exert the required time and energy to find a partner who feels the same, let alone find a partner at all. Ultimately I’m finding the juice is not with the squeeze, I’d rather check out and live quietly within my means.
I don’t tell women to their face that I desire physical attributes they weren’t born with and I don’t tell them I want a partner who possesses a skill set they don’t have. Does that count as treating women like people? Conversation on the internet with strangers, liars, and trolls, is much less personally offensive than say in conversation with peers I’ve know for years.
When I’m talking to another person I try and consider their feelings as a conversation is a two way street. Telling me that you desire the things I don’t have doesn’t make me feel like a person listening. It makes me feel like nobody. It makes me feel like nothing.
When women describe to your face their ideal man and they are LITERALLY describing the opposite of your life circumstances. Had it happen on two memorable occasions.
Yes it is especially if you know you’re talking to a CIS gender audience. It’s literally being reductive at the expense of the gay community just to dunk on straight men and disengage from the discussion on bad faith.
I’ll tell you why it is a less preferable option. When/if things go wrong now 3 or more people are in emotional distress instead of just 2. When you have a relationship with a parent you’re also starting one with their child/children yet your relationship and its success or lack there of will directly impact those lives.
Time, money, and ego are all limited. Why the hell do I want to stay around and watch the parade of other people who were good enough for more than friendship?
I once knew a girl that was mad I slept with 6 other girls before I met here. I said “How can you be upset, you’ve literally slept with 4 times as many people as me?” Her reply, “Yeah but I didn’t love all of them”. 🤦
So I can basically claim that any fan-ship of my hobbies is my community. For example, I love professional wrestling. Therefore I belong to the wrestling community. Am I getting the logic correct here?
At this point you might as well institute a licensing program cuz way too many people will rate them selves as “stable & ready” that have no business doing it, then they make kids.
Not entirely true. His interactions with those women can affect your future interactions with them both negatively/positively. Also of note, availability is a thing. Time is limited. The time they are wasting with him is time that could have been spent with you. Maybe there isn’t anymore time now and you have lost opportunity forever. Women and chances don’t always circle back your way.
That’s a terrible take. Not all men working in these places are the living embodiment of your worst experiences. Imagine if I filtered women out this way. Dehumanizing.
