LET'S HEAR IT. NO SUGARCOATING.

I don't know many mature adults who give two patoots about our peer groups opinion when considering a LTR.

Or care about "way cool".

I definitely get the impression that a lot of what I assume are adult posters, are still stuck in high school mode.

I can't answer such a hypothetical. Depends what I was looking for at that time, and on the guy himself.

Oh, there we go again. It's amazing how if a person is on the parochial school track, even in a large metro area, little changes ... and it carries forward to the reunions. I saw this and learned I didn't want to be involved in this. Most of these people's FB (for reference sake) friends are about 50+% from HS and, yes, they went on to college and careers. Most of mine are from little kid years, grad school and beyond, adults met going about the business of life, co-workers, or friends made overseas.

In such "incestuous" circles, this does not come as a surprise. So, yes, some people ARE stuck in high school. Not just at my high school, but at many, and for those who did not continue on, that's their last rite of passage, so they are relishing it, today.

Nope I spelled it how I would of spoken it.

Even if he was good at his job, I don't want a jerk. Who wants to constantly say, " Please forgive my BF he is an arse".

WAIT A MINUTE.............FAST FOWARD


Nerdy guy is now 37 and he's no longer nedy looking, he's transformed his body to a lean muscle machine and he's spent the last 15 years working on his career and building his business. He now earns a high 6 figure income and is well traveled.


Oh, wait a minute............NOW YOU WANT HIM.


Yes, the above story is real and it happens.


I say, to heck with her. She's no longer the cute 20 something girl, she's now 35 and used up and has had a series a bad relationships and a divorce.

Yup, this happens to guys all of the time.
Your post reminds me of a guy I know and grew up with. Said the same thing. He's a millionare who makes over 7 figures, owns a nice car, nice house, and still pays for sex cus the ladies he chases either work at a Vietnamse coffee shop or strip club, and he's still in the same boat.

FYI- some chicks don't care about money/status. One girl he chased dumped him bc she was tired of hearing his story about the cute girl, and his obsession with making money to prove himself. Hmm.

Hope you find someone you like for you, and isn't all about the superficials.

Not because an overweight man rejected her, but just the fact that an overweight man thought he had a shot with her offended her. She was offended that he didn't think she was Out of his League. She thought he should have been intimidated by her.

The things that are happening to me... i think if they happened to a woman, the woman would likely be just as upset.
WTF is with this post?
You think someone being overweight entitles you to expect gratitude or make them so super desperate for the crumbs you throw them?
That's ridiculous.
Overweight people can have standards, too.

If they want to have standards that exclude me, then they should stop complaining when other people have standards that exclude them. It's hypocritical and ridiculous.

I don't disagree with you.
No one should complain about anything.
But that's all we hear from many males on this site.
