Do the rest of the old heads find themselves getting more and more set in their ways?

It ain't even on some my way or the highway shit. It's more like. This is what I want, and this is what I can give.

If shit don't line up, it's "It was nice to have met you, good luck out there."

No hard feeling, no woulda shoulda coulda. Just done dotta. I WISH I had this philosophy when I was younger man.

How y'all feel?

but as I get older I value my time more and more, and at the same time I get more perceptive of what is going to waste my time.

And yeah - I wish I was this way when I was younger. But - I had to learn the hard way to gain the wisdom of how to handle certain situations.

I just don't really have a lot of it, and frankly I'd rather be doing almost ANYTHING else than trying to chat up some woman.

Is you is, or is you ain't?

there will be no compromise. I might budge…with convincing lol

For me, it's commitment (there's a LITTLE wiggle room here)
relationship dynamics
how we settle disagreements. (this is prolly the biggest)

Honestly, I can have and will budge on damned near everything else.

commitment is something I value so be prepared that I won’t compromise.

some things ain't meant to be for a long time and i'm good w/that. i know what I want & need and how that aligns with what I'm willing to give (which is ALOT)...so no same energy? byeeeee

I like me.

I love my life.

I know what I'm doing and why.

I can explain it in detail if people ask

Not changing a motherfucking thing abt me. Damn sure not to accommodate someone else

Also! Don't ask anyone to change THEIR life...to accommodate me

You do your thing. I'll do mine. If it works and matches up...great!

If not...that's ok too.

No changing. Nothing. For no one. Ever

Change is inevitable. Being fixed is how things easily break, being flexible keeps you agile.

I am hoping that the people in my life help me change for the better. I have to change to deal with my kid's evolution.

I met a cool friend who helped me change my outlook on difficult situations. I dated a guy who challenged me to change my communication style to be more direct. All great changes that have made my life easier.

I would love to keep meeting and dating people who can provide a constructive influence and improve the quality of my life. I hope I bring about positive change in someone else's life.

Not sure why you view changing because of another person's influence in such a negative light?

I don't think anyone changes they just get deeper.

For me...I like things as is. No changing for someone else. Due to someone else. None of that. If I change (which again I don't believe people do) it is because I chose to for me not someone or something else

By all means live your life as you see fit, #wadr you don't have to understand

it would make sense that Black people here would form diverse communities with different value systems.

cursing in conversation is whatever, dont make a habit of cursing *at* me when you're upset

make it easy for us to love each other because I for sure will do my part

past that, being different is healthy. you help each other grow that way

I find that I am not arguing, debating or getting overly emotional about anything. It is too depleting. I want to have fun, and I can get upset but I notice my mind and body can't handle extremes.

I need a nice even flow to work, life, family, romance, health and food. If all those things are in balance, I feel content. But when work gets too stressful, family life too burdensome, romance too emotional and health too self indulgent, I start to see problems.

The problem is sometimes things take priority at the expense of something else. Just a part of life.
