Feb 10th 2016

It's actually more about beards than hair, right now
Feb 10th 2016
105
      I don't mind a nice beard, but it's not a pre-req either. lol
Feb 10th 2016
131
           Man, online dating is all about advertising your best assets
Feb 10th 2016
151
                If your hair is your best asset, you need to do better. lol
Feb 10th 2016

121
interesting...
Feb 10th 2016
109
Because I'm not in a relationship
Feb 10th 2016
115
      so men and women have the same issues?
Feb 10th 2016
125
           1. There are some similarities with why men & women are single
Feb 10th 2016
130
                what are their reasons?
Feb 10th 2016
137
                Just basing it off people I know personally...
Feb 10th 2016
145
                     #1 is the biggest reason....the rest is for OKP niggas
Feb 10th 2016
146
                     Nahhh, the successful late bloomer is the most OKP'ry...the rest
Feb 10th 2016
147
                     this is insightful.
Feb 10th 2016
154
                     Oh for sure, and I have never even considered going to my homeboys
Feb 10th 2016
163
                          man listen...i got questions!
Feb 10th 2016
164
                               all right!
Feb 11th 2016
170
                     basically men want someone who's better than them...
Feb 10th 2016
157
                          Not necessarily. First, what does "better" mean anyway?
Feb 10th 2016
162
                because you're just wording it different...
Feb 10th 2016
165
                     I don't think so...well, it's different as hell for sure.
Feb 10th 2016
166
some women have a problem approaching men they are interested in
Feb 10th 2016
118
This one is always a big debate, and I see it both ways.
Feb 10th 2016
123
it's easy to find good people..not easy to find good for u people
Feb 10th 2016

Oh for sure. This is also why I HATE any forced hookups
Feb 10th 2016

Feb 10th 2016

I've noticed something very similar to this where I live:
Feb 10th 2016
153
dating is hard
Feb 10th 2016
167
ight, I'll take a young lady in LA on a date if you wanna go
Feb 10th 2016

      Aren't you in NYC?

179
           Yeah, was in DC for the weekend. It's probably all in our heads.

Dating is super easy
Feb 11th 2016

if it's not to mate...what other reasons are there?
Feb 11th 2016
180
      when i say mate, i mean find A mate, not find people to mate with.
Feb 11th 2016
181
           Naw. That's a waste of money and time (which is also money)
Feb 11th 2016

you just have to open yourself up to the fact that everyone operates

To define dating....
I imagine one has to define their goals/endgame to interacting with potential love interests....

The endgame should determine what dating is to you....
But you gotta find someone that has the same definition for it to work.....






*disclaimer - I haven't dated since the Clinton administration*

trust me, it works so,much better when the date isn't an interview.

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

159. "I had a guy who contacted me 3 times on okcupid"
In response to Reply # 4


          

and ignored me when i answered his question.

well twice he ignored me.

gave him a pass the first time b/c maybe he got busy, shit happens.

so the second time he contacted me i replied to 3 or 4 messages.

and he ignored me again.

the third time he contacted me, i just asked him, why do you keep contact me to only ignore me?

He's like because you didn't ask any questions about me.

If, you were interested you would ask me questions.

I'm like your bio is about 4 pages long.

It was seriously about 20 paragraphs, plus 20 photos.

So I have no idea what guys want, nor do I care at this point.

In response to Reply # 0


          

i don't usually make it past the first week or so of 'talking to someone'

i'm not built for this

i just need someone to come through and marry me

i can't STAND dating in the social media era

stop asking me to send you a pic

stop sending me unsolicited ass pictures of you at starbucks. at your desk. in the elevator.

I DONT CARE

you going through and liking all my pictures is NOT courting and doesn't count as you putting in effort

your good morning texts and random 'hope you're having a good day' texts don't equate to you getting to know me or us having a conversation

CALL ME.

TAKE ME OUT.

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN AND LIVE IN THE MOMENT.

whyyy is this so difficult?

but I also aint shit and aint worried about dating or should I say I have 'relationship ADHD + emotional unavailability' so with me it's all about keeping my attention

keep my attention and then I get my grown man on and 'date'....chivalrous and all that

I'm not one of those dudes who meet u Monday and immediately wanna go out Tuesday night...I gotta get a vibe

=======================================
Coolin...

i just told my girlfriend a few days ago that i'm going to just start going along with this foolishness, b/c i mean...maybe this is just how things are nowadays. literally, every man who has attempted to talk to me recently has been stuck on this 'send me a pic' 'lets text' shit.

a few days ago, dude sent an unsolicited picture and i replied back and said, 'so fine!!!'

i couldn't think of anything else

i hated myself for the next 30 minutes for even humoring it

he wrote back and said, "im pretty regular but i hope you enjoyed the picture."

i laughed

make it stop.

Not on some don juan shit, but the shock that someone unambiguously said outright they want to take them on a date, lol. It's gotten me more points then I deserve out the gate even if it just fizzles after one date.

Meanwhile I am like "Isn't that what you're supposed to do".

I can't tell if it's regional. NYC's the home of unsolicited hollas, for good and bad, and transplants were usually the ones like 'WOW, that was surprisingly straightforward'


Or if it's just generational; it's alot easier to send out txt's, flirty things to avoid outright rejections until you're 100% you're in then you can go for a full court press.

In response to Reply # 14
Wed Feb-10-16 12:16 PM by SoWhat

  

          

and am not into endless texts or message exchanges via some app or another.

they're especially shocked if i want to meet for something other than sex.

oh and the fact that i don't exchange nude pix almost always gets their goat. my standard response is 'i'll show you in person'. so many situations have fizzled at that point - it makes me wonder if those dudes were actually interested or just wanted to see my ding-a-ling. and why are they SO obsessed w/my johnson? the Internet is FULL of dillz pix. why do they need MINE in particular? wtf? i've considered sending them some shot of a random peen - but one i didn't find on the Internet in case they pop that joint in Google image search.

but anyway - the shit makes me feel old.

fuck you.

In response to Reply # 53


  

          

the first time he attacked the doc/technicians as they tried to draw blood and get a urine sample. so we had to go back - they sedated him and were able to get the samples. none of the tests found any problem that could cause his symptoms. the doc recommended a stool softener b/c she thought the vomiting is a result of him straining to pass stool. i've given it to him consistently and he's still vomiting but not as often as before.

so i'm done. i think he's just old but he's not sick.

fuck you.

It would be one thing if we were talking kids fresh outta college, but alot of them are in generations where smart phones weren't ubiquitous when they started dating (late 20's into 30's). It just seems particularly lazy.

As far as the penis shots, it's also funny how nudes seems like harmless flirting in 2016 but a real voice to voice phonecall (hell, life meeting in your example) is intimate!

Any dude that only has confidence when he's texting from his phone ain't a live dude. Big red flag.

Edit: Basically saying that you need to meet dudes out in the real world in order to avoid the lames that play with their phones all day.

I live in Philly, so I know how that is. A 6 in most other cities in America is like a 9 here.

24. "Modern dating pet peeves"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

People with pictures ONLY from the neck up..you aint slick


People that treat dating as an extension of their social life


Or on the flip side..


People tHat want to go days..sometimes weeks (even months) messaging back and forth trying to get to know you without the prospect of actually going out on a date. Not looking for a pen pal


I got more. Back later

the men i meet lately are all unspeakably dull, lacking in social skills and home training. the idea of being a cat lady, or whatever the modern equivalent is, is increasingly appealing.

35. "for example"
In response to Reply # 32


  

          

don't tell me on a first date that having sex is one of your hobbies.

i don't care if you're an artist, i do not want to see unsolicited nude photos you took of another woman.

if we're meeting somewhere that's closer to where you live than where i live, don't be late and then still expect me to come to wherever you are instead of meeting me at the suggested place.

how about, walking me back to my train instead of saying, oh you know where you're going right? and then jumping in a cab.

depends on the convo, but if you felt the way you do did, the convo obviously wasn't there lol

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

She gets bothered? Date's soon over. She's anywhere from not bothered to with it? Cool. Not trying to waste time being on the wrong page with someone.

The other stuff was just asshole shit. Not walking her to her train? lol, I remember sneaking a hoochie over the crib when I was like 17, and I kicked her out to walk to the subway at like 5am (I wanted her to bounce before my peoples woke up). Next day, my mom was like "I know you didn't make that girl walk to the train at 5am... you're supposed to be a gentleman!" lol

In response to Reply # 94


          

I'm very much interested in sex (I probably wouldn't go on a date if I wasn't). I'm just being honest by sharing what's on my mind. If I get a positive response, I can talk more freely and naturally. If it's negative, then that's a sign that she isn't feeling me for one reason or another. I'm just trying to get both of us on the same page as quickly as possible.

Not that I'd just blurt out "so when are we fucking???" but I'll jump all over a chance to drop a little innuendo.

I mean there's a lot one can say as to why "dating" is kind of a joke. For starters the idea itself is pretty flawed.

In response to Reply # 42


  

          

and it's difficult to meet people we can feel that way about for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons are self imposed and some are a result of societal conditioning.

Combine that with the utter randomness of dating itself in addition to how tough it becomes after our college years (or age) to simply get to know someone organically i.e. develop an interest in another while being free of "dating expectations" and you ultimately end up with a recipe for more disappointment than satisfaction.

54. "those questions are way too emotionally intimate"
In response to Reply # 45


          

for a first date.

examples:
"Take four minutes and tell you partner your life story in as much detail as possible."
" Is there something that you've dreamt of doing for a long time? Why haven't you done it?"
"What roles do love and affection play in your life?"
". If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven't you told them yet?"

you have to build up a certain level of trust before delving into this level of emotional intimacy.

and i dunno about asking/answering all 36 at once. like, i wouldn't want it to feel like i'm completing a Buzzfeed quiz or something.

if i did this it wouldn't be on the first date. we'd be several dates in and i'd only want to use this to spur conversation. i wouldn't expect to get through all 36 questions. ideally, at least.

fuck you.

my point is - i don't want to feel like i/we have to answer ALL 36 questions and then calculate some score at the end or whatever. ideally the questions would spur conversation that'll go where ever and through that process we learn facts about each other.

but i dunno. i haven't ever tried the questions and i'm single. so maybe.

And dating in general....

If you met the person online, okay first make sure he is not a serial killer first. But if you met the person through friends and seen him at a couple house parties and like him... Maybe this could blast you through the awkward stage of the first couple dates.

In response to Reply # 60


          

however, i think dating can have different purposes, especially depending on where you are in your life.

to me, dating is a process in getting to know someone. you build up trust and emotionally intimacy. you don't bombard someone on the first date with questions tapping into their vulnerabilities. some of those questions can elicit answers that they've never told anyone else in their life. that's a very tall order on a first date.

i would only use the questions on someone I was really interested in... not just some rando off the internet.

i answered the questions with a female friend just to try it and it wasn't really that bad. but i didn't really admit too much emotional stuff while answering the question.

59. "So I just dust off my Tinder account..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Why do so many black men think we want to see close-ups of their waves? Are there women outchea who get their panties moist over this shit and I'm just the weirdo? I for the life of me don't understand this.

And after swiping through so many profiles, I feel like there's a market in helping men make more appealing profiles. Cuz there's a LOT of bad ones out there. (Maybe it's the same for women, but I'm not checkin for them, so I wouldn't know...)

It's so hard outchea. At this point I feel like I wish I were in a culture with arranged marriage. It can't be any worse than my current prospects. lol

yes. these women exist. i was just discussing this the other day w/a coworker. she requires her man to have waves and a beard. she's not interested if he doesn't. he might be a good guy but he's NOT for her w/o those features.

In response to Reply # 63


  

          

I didn't realize these women existed enough to justify that fuckery, color me corrected. lol

And sure, I'll help you tighten up your profile. There was this dude who said he "was the last gentleman on earth!" and after chatting a bit, I asked him about that. Then I told him it was a bit of a red flag, given most dudes who self-proclaim being "good guys" or "nice guys" and that sort of thing tend to act entitled when it comes to women, but I don't know him, so maybe he's different. Then he told me not to judge people (but isn't that ultimately what a dating site's about? Especially one like Tinder? lolsmh), then he said something smart and proceeded to unmatch me before I could screenshot the exchange for posterity's sake. But he kinda confirmed what I began to say, and I was ultimately thankful he saved me from potential fuckboyismm down the line. He did seem fahn as hell tho. Too bad! lol

And this is the kinda shit that makes me think maybe the people on shows like Married At First Sight aren't so crazy after all? lol

These girls on the internet act like they ONLY like guys with beards...so dudes with beards are hella showing em off. The under 25 dudes aren't showing off waves, they're showing off those Duke Starting Five hairstyles.

Though I WILL swipe left if a dude's beard is lookin a lil too Boozery, all painted on and shit. Because ew. Maybe I really notice the wave pics because IDGAF about them and I wonder why they waste space when they could post a pic that tells me more about them instead. But if women are outchea choosin based on waves, I guess I'll let them all cook together in their own pot. lol

If it's waves, if it's a six pack, if it's breasts, if it's a collarbone...whatever it is. And for us dudes who's hair doesn't recede, our waves probably look way better than our bodies do. Do they even show their face, though??

They might have other pics, but they're usually rockin a hat or sunglasses or something else that obscures their face. The other ones that irritate me are the ones with just closeups of their face. Chicks dig all sorts of body types, just put it all out there from the jump (not saying you've gotta be in a shirtless gym mirror selfie or some other foolishness, but at least show more than just the neck up; if you don't, it seems like you're hiding something.

This is also something I've seen with some men and women....having EXTREMELY strict preferences on what they see as attractive. So if someone is a great person, but doesn't meet this requirement, they don't give it a go.

So would you call it "bad luck" if they refuse to ever open up? I just met a girl who's 5'0, not even 5'1, who ONLY dates guys who are 6'3 and above. If she ends up turning down every guy who's under that, and in 15 years is still single, do we call it bad luck? Is it nor her fault, because genetically, "we like what we like?"

In response to Reply # 97
Wed Feb-10-16 01:28 PM by SoWhat

  

          

you'll understand what i mean when i say finding a match is largely about being lucky. b/c you yourself or ppl you know will have done EVERYTHING there is to find a match and will still be single. it happens.

or maybe you'll be so lucky that you never even reach the point i'm talking about. that'd be great.

i think you and others resist the idea that luck is a large factor in finding a match b/c we all want to feel like we have some control over our lives - especially this part of life which is kinda important to many/most of us. we wanna think that there's SOMETHING we can do to fix our problem if we're single and want a mate. or if our homie/relative is single and wanting a mate we wanna believe we can help them by suggesting just the right thing or that if they'd just do __ they could have someone. or we wanna believe they're alone by their choice or their action and not by random chance.

but...

anyway. keep living.

fuck you.

119. "I get where you're coming from, but nah...we do have more control"
In response to Reply # 106


  

          

than you give us credit for having.

I have examples where things happened off pure luck, while some were a combination of things. The week I stopped dating (or wasting time with) a girl I had dealt with for a good five years...I knew Grits & Biscuits was coming up. I went, prepared as shit...just because I knew it would have the most options out of everything I go to or DJ. And...I was right. I ended up randomly running into a girl I had always been into but lost contact with. It was luck that I saw her, but if I had said "nah, I'm not gonna go tonight because I'm still stuck off this chick" or anything on that side...I would have missed out.

Now I can agree that "luck" may determine our long term success. Meaning, we might have control of dating 20 people in a year vs just 2, or we may have figured out how to simply attract attention in public, but none of those things will guarantee that we end up with someone.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

single for 6-8 years.

I always wonder what it is...is it always because of the guys they meet? Or is that wall still up that was there years ago when I made my attempt? Or are they still trying to find a "perfect" man, in which they tend to say "I don't want a perfect man, I just want a man who....(describes a perfect man)."

When it comes to my homegirls who have been single for years and years, hearing their stories...it's surely a combination of everything. As said in this post, there are some who seem to run into too many guys who have major flaws, and those who can't even simply take them on a date. But it's still much more to it than that in many cases...some don't go ANYWHERE that has legit men, some don't hang around circles who have legit men, and some can attract a man but don't seem to EVER be into any of them, and they will even flip the positive things as being negative...."ugh, he texts me 'good morning beautiful' every day, I hate that shit!'"

BUT...there's people who have done certain things I listed, or even other things, and did find success. It's a combo of it all.

In response to Reply # 92

The opportunity is the part that we can't control. It's fortune that we happen to be in the same place at the same time with someone compatible.

The preparation, however, is the other part. Someone can have the dopest social circles and still lose at love because they never put the work in to prepare themselves. Like getting invited to an event that's full of *your type* but you happen to not have a job, appropriate clothes, you live with your mom, are out of shape and have no personality.

people always throw out these "get your life together" strategies and think that will help you find someone compatible.

however, there are TONS of people with no job, terrible personalities, terrible manners, minimal social skills, can't dress, hardly ever go out, etc. and still find someone to be with long-term.

that's why luck is a huge factor cause plenty of people who have their shit together and those don't still find someone they want to be with long-term.

basically, it does not carry the same amount of weight as luck.

I know quite a few men and women that never step outside of their small-radius circle, so they just keep meeting the same types over and over again.

115. "Because I'm not in a relationship"
In response to Reply # 109


  

          

But nah, the last one I was serious about was a few months back....on paper, she's amazingly perfect. Almost done with Med School, Ivy League graduate, two parent household, very good looking, well spoken, outgoing, etc. But she had some maaaaaaaaajor major major issues that prevented us from being together. And it's where I might consider opening up to her in the future, but I don't know if she's able to change.

130. "1. There are some similarities with why men & women are single"
In response to Reply # 125


  

          

But in general, most single men I know are single for entirely different reasons.

2. How is my reasoning the same as what I described?

The situation I describe there is entirely different from the women I've mentioned. For me personally, I've ALWAYS have candidates. It's always someone there who's available to date. And my own personal baggage/issues have never prevented me from wanting to be serious with someone.

145. "Just basing it off people I know personally..."
In response to Reply # 137


  

          

Here's some things I've seen and heard from my single homeboys.

-Having plenty of options, and not wanting to put in enough energy/effort to one woman, even if he's into her a lot

-Being a successful late bloomer...the ones who didn't get much play growing up or even in College who now have options, and now, they have a chip on their shoulder and baggage that prevents them from truly opening up.

-Lack of confidence due to lack of stable income/career

-Still chasing the women who look good, but lack substance...and then complaining because "all these girls is gold diggers"

-Having confidence, but lacking stability or anything long term that attracts the types of women they're into. Some of them haven't found one that will take a chance or see their "potential," sometimes because there is no true potential

Of course, as SoWhat and others say...there's a LOT of men who are "lucky" enough to fit one of these descriptions and still end up with someone serious. But in some cases, such as the men just not wanting to commit with a woman, or even chasing the wrong ones that are obviously not into them...I can't say "luck" is really a factor.

In response to Reply # 145


          

i need more male friends (who aren't trying to fuck) cause men think in such a different way than women. going to my girls (who i love!) for advice and suggestions about men is like the blind leading the blind.

the opinions and perspective that i get from men are waaaaaaaaay different than women.

for advice with women, because I know it's pointless as shit, whether they're successful or not.

But yeah, I laugh when some women don't seem to take my word serious, but hit me later like OG Maco, "you was right!!!" I can almost aaaaaalways read a dude's intentions when they tell me what he says, does, and how he acts.

In response to Reply # 157


  

          

Most men I know don't really care much about how successful a woman is, career wise...they tend to value her overall personality and even her looks more than that. And with that, does better looking = better?

In response to Reply # 165


  

          

For men, we seem to have a lot of options that we know are good, and that may even make us more selective on who we're serious with.

I know a lot of women who have a decent amount of options, but it's not many I know who have options in a way that they feel like "damn, I have so many GOOD options, I don't know who to choose!" It may even be the opposite...a lot of guys, with none of them that actually want to be serious.

It might even depend on city/state...but I hear women, especially Black women, in a lot of places speaking as if there just aren't enough options for them at all. And the reasons that the men and women are single in the end still tend to be a lot different, as I say earlier.

some women only wait for the man to approach them... and that generally only leaves them to dating only a certain type of man...

123. "This one is always a big debate, and I see it both ways."
In response to Reply # 118


  

          

One thing I've actually discussed lately is that some women feel men are intimidated when the woman approaches, or either they feel like they won't have to work hard because she's already into him. Basically saying that men still love a chase more than anything else. That's arguable, and some guys may see it that way, but I wouldn't agree.

What I've suggested to some of my homegirls is that learning how to flirt, make eye contact, and use body language can be just as beneficial or even better when it comes to getting a guy to holler. A lot of us will only approach if we feel comfortable, and we rarely go up to a group of women just to holler at one. It's been a lot of times that I just made eye contact and she smiled a certain way that let me know that I would have a good chance.

I even laugh but give props to the women who will say extremely random things just to speak first, knowing they want to holler but won't be that blatant about it. I got in line for cake at an Engagement party, and I saw a girl who was far up in line...she turned around and I caught her eye. Next thing you know, she got behind me in line and said "wait...is this line for the cake?" I ended up teasing her later on, and she admitted that she didn't know what else to say to me.

132. "Oh for sure. This is also why I HATE any forced hookups"
In response to Reply # 127


  

          

I feel like it almost never, ever ever works when someone knows two people and they say "y'all are both good people" or even "y'all are both attractive, y'all should talk!"

As for luck, I do feel that you can surely increase your odds, but even that is calculated and more of a quality vs quantity thing. I'll NEVER ever ever be a fan of the websites because it just feels like a magazine for single people, and we will just go for what appears visually while possibly ignoring the ones that we would actually have chemistry with in person, since it's no way to even tell if we would have chemistry just from reading their "perfect" description.

i've been single 5 years
spent 1 year completely undateable
spent another year or two still being undateable but wanting to date. i think i was throwing off a bad vibe

then i started dating a guy but as sowhat said, timing was an issue. i wanted more. he was too into his own situation. i was being supportive and understanding but there were two instances he made me feel like my presence was a burden more than anything. i'm not needy and i can deal with seeing someone for limited amount of time if i know they are dealing with something but i'm not going to let anyone make me feel like i'm another chore/task.

ended that and dating kind of exploded for me (relatively). my friends keep telling me i have serious mojo right now b/c guys are starting to come around

i met a few guys outside my circle and tried them out. one i wasn't too into. the other one i was but he REALLY wanted to sleep with me and got pretty vulgar about it so i ended it. then he started sending me flowers at work :/

then i met a new guy. i liked him but he has a business. he works a lot and i was cool with it but he said it wasn't fair to me so that ended :/

now i have a guy who wants to date me that i've known for a while but he travels a lot and i can already see he wants a certain arrangement and just wants me to be cool with it because i'm not faring much better otherwise. he literally said as much. he sent me flowers too now my office thinks i'm a pimp.

i'm honestly dealing with a lot of half assed bullshit situations and i hate it. someone i just befriended last year set me up with a friend of hers. we had our first date last night and it was nice so we'll see. he's older, has his own business but seems more willing/able to dedicate time to things outside of his shop so that's good. i don't ask for much time but dating does require time.

the only thing i can say is while compromise is good, don't compromise what you ultimately want. there's nothing wrong with wanting to spend time with someone and if they make you feel like you're asking too much, then that person isn't for you. it's a hard pill to swallow, especially when you feel you are being accommodating and aren't asking for much but it will never change.

that's the sad thing
i'm busy too but i will drop mostly anything if i like someone b/c i want them in my life
none of these dudes that i liked can say i played them to the side. i made myself available and i was completely understanding when they had to cancel plans or cut plans short but you give folks an inch, they take a mile. i can see why some women are that demanding b/c if you set that tone early, dudes will generally try and not cross that line

that's one lesson that can't seem to stick with me. i'm not really a hardass like that. i really truly believe people make the time for things they want to make time for or at least try for a workaround. i'm cool with limited dates or setting aside a time in the week that's just us and it's kept sacred even if it's just for that time but none of these guys were into that. i generally work a 9-5 and they don't. but there's some flexibility with my time. i can work mobile some days. some days im on a construction site which isn't too far from where these guys lived. i don't think i was the person for them to be willing to try. it hurts but it's the truth.

dude who travels a lot thinks it's cool to hit me the day he flies in and has the nerve to tell me I'M busy when i tell him i have plans. he's legit trying to jedi mind trick me into thinking his 30% presence is better than 100% presence any of these other guys can offer :/

i can't like this enough.

it's just gospel truth.

ain't nobody that busy.

NOBODY.

the fucking POTUS has a significant other. HE'S busy but not too busy to make time for her.

if i hear too much 'i'm busy' i take it as 'i'm not interested enough in this relationship to make time for it'. kinda like when i hear 'i'm not looking for a relationship' i know it actually means 'i'm not interested in having a relationship with YOU'.

ain't nobody THAT busy.

fuck you.

i could see it w/ dude with the biz

he had staff and he'd schedule them to work times if he had to be out. most of the time it would be due to off site biz but he'd have them in so he could do stuff w/ his friends so i knew it wasn't that he was soooo busy. he just wasn't into doing that for me. i got that at first b/c maybe he didn't know if i was worth it but when he was acknowledging that he was being unfair yet offering no solution or indication that he would try to be better it was very clear i wasn't worth it for him.

and the other guy i was dating who was trying to pull the same jibba jabba had WAY more free time so to see him pull an 'im busy' on the limited time he was giving me stung extra hard so i deaded that and was very clear as to why.

i'm supportive. im not trying to be an additional problem for anyone and i understand. so at this point if folks aren't willing to make the effort i know enough to move on. you're just not interested in me like that.

he said it twice in one week and the second time it happened i had just given him a business idea so he wanted to leave my house and go work on it (i shit you not)

so i told him it was ok and we shouldn't date anymore. i was gracious about it. i can't really be mad. that's his life.

he's got a good business going and i'll support it. i just took friends there recently. it sucks but at least he was honest :/

"This isn't working for me anymore..." Convo?

I give ppl so many chances
Cause I get life happens
But when I reach my breaking point
And say I can't do this
It always gets flipped on me and
I become the bad guy
Then I feel bad
I stick around longer than I should
And it eventually explodes

I just can't get it right

and say exactly why

only once did a guy not take it well and it was ironic as hell (i told him we weren't compatible then proceeded to fight w/ me about it LOL)

most of the time they get it or they seem all too relieved that i'm the one taking the iniative. business dude didn't appear one bit bothered :/

most men hate dumping women.

i'm convinced a good percentage of men won't do it no matter what.

you gotta take the initiative and do it yourself most times.

i mean you can hang around if you really want someone but ngccot.

that's me all the way. if i really like you, i'll carve out time for you someway, somehow. if i'm lukewarm, i'll feign busyness or tiredness. even though i don't like admitting it at the time, i can tell when it's happening to me.

yes to this!

i'm definitely working on establishing AND maintaining boundaries when it comes to dating. because like you said, you give them an inch, and they take whole damn freeway. i feel like i let my standards slip (e.g., being on time, calling rather texting, pushing back against sarcastic remarks that are over the line, etc) and that does me a disservice in the long term.

As someone who's been out of the game for a very long time, I find this stuff interesting. A whole lot has changed since I was single and I have absolutely no clue what's happening out there.

But I wonder if there were people who struggled like this back in the day? And if so, what was the cause?

...this is the perfect song for a pity party. b/c it starts out wallowing in the sadness but ends w/hope and picking one's self up out of the sadness and getting on w/it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hQwuZPnqm4

'Any Love'

I speak to myself sometimes, and I say, "Oh my
In a lot of ways, you're a lucky guy and
Now all you need is a chance to try any love"
In my heart there's a need to shout
Dyin', screamin', cryin' let me out, hey
Are all those feelings that want to touch any love?
What a world for the lonely guy
Sometimes I feel I'm gonna lose my mind, my mind
Can anybody tell me just where to find any love, any love?

And oh, everyone needs a love no doubt, any love, any love
And oh, everybody feels alone without any love, any love
And I know there's a love waiting to enter my life, enter my life

Every day as I live, I try to think positive
And I, I pray for someone good to give, any love
Ooh, love is sweet and so divine
And I can't wait for my love life to shine, to shine
Can anybody tell me where I can find any love, any love?

And oh, everyone needs a love no doubt, any love, any love
Everybody feels alone without any love, any love
And I know there's someone waiting for me
To enter my life, come into my life

Suddenly out of the clear, blue sky, lonely tears start to fill my eyes
I get weak, but I refuse to cry, I've got to keep holdin' on
I've got to be very strong, to keep holdin' on

Everyone needs a love no doubt, any love, any love
And oh, everybody feels alone without any love, any love
And I know, I know, I know, I know now she'll come into my life
Into my, into my life
Everyone needs a love no doubt, any love, any love
Everybody feels lonely without any love, any love, any love yeah
And I need you, yeah should've been in my mind, in my mind
Everyone needs a love no doubt, any love, any love
Everybody feels lonely without any love, any love, ooh

fuck you.

143. "i think we should get sex out the way, early"
In response to Reply # 0
Wed Feb-10-16 03:01 PM by akon

  

          

so in that, i think i suck at dating too
(i assume by dating we mean the 'lets get to know each other, before we decide we go together)
ya.
i think getting to know each other sexually is part of the 'do i really want this person around me?'
so i do put a lot of stock to physical attraction..

i also suck at maintaining relationships. i feel like i bail out on things too early
(well, now looking back, not at the time).


what i find hard right now though... is meeting the right variety/kind of people
perhaps its not having the time, partly its that baltimore really really sucks
(d.c is way way better)
and i mean this -not just for dating, but just meeting interesting people in general being difficult
(so for dating is just impossible)
it seems harder to do the older i get (

.
http://perspectivesudans.blogspot.com/
i myself would never want to be god,or even like god.Because god got all these human beings on this planet and i most certainly would not want to be responsible for them, or even have the disgrace that i made them.

Philly SUCKS for dating, NYC is awesome (for me at least). I really like DC as well.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

i should say, serious dating is hard. just about anyone can get laid (asides from social awkwardness), but actually dating for substance is difficult, i think for everyone.

our culture pushes a narrative that something might be better 'around the bend', and many of us behave like that in our dating lives.

to date...just sit back and relax and prepare to be entertained. as long as you are open to good conversation and sharing some laffs the rest is on me. i know how to show a woman a good time and it wont involve social media at all. all that to say its not your fault and it definitely shouldnt rest all on your shoulders.

Every time I'm up there I marvel at all of the fine women that stare me in the eyes and are easy to talk to. All I gotta do is say "hi, ..." and start talking.

Meanwhile, down here in Philly...



But yeah, Bin is tripping. DC was always an easy place to meet fine women as well. Just smile and start talking. I think it's the transplants.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

differently. everyone courts in their own way. if you limit yourself to only those guys that court you in one very specific way, you won't get far at all. some guys text all day and you can totally get to know them that way. some just hit you up to go out, spend that time with you, and then you don't hear much until the weekend rolls around again or they wanna take you out again. train em up or just look for their silver lining, if they have one.
i've gone on so many dates that didn't fit me at all. doesn't mean i don't know how to date. just that we weren't a fit. be yourself and be mindful that you wont mesh with every guy you date.
