You are in OKC, right? Childless women of that age group exist, but they are mostly obese. Can you suck it up and get with a fat girl?

I just received a message from three 37 year olds in the past 3 days who have no kids and I'm hesitant about calling because I know the main questions will be

Do you want kids?

Are you interested in getting married?

Why?

I mean, if they're interested in having kids or getting married, wouldn't you want to know it in the beginning so nobody is wasting their time?

Do you state in your profile that you're just looking for something casual?

Chill, broseph.


Most people who end up in long term relationships feel marriage is the next logical step. If you don't see yourself getting married, you may want to bring that up so the women you ensnare don't waste time if that's what they're ultimately looking for.

Don't you have to be in a relationship first before you decide if someone is marriage material? Like I have money right now to buy a engagement ring.

Now I;m about to call this woman and I bet her tone is all serious because she wants to find out what type of job I do and what my goals are all in the 1st conversation

You watch.


I;m calling now

I'm actually amazed that anyone asks such questions. I sure never would have, not even when I was in my 20's.

I;m calling now

HER to you:

"Answer now:

What do you do for a living?
Do you own real estate?
What do you drive?
Is your wallet fat?
What do you earn?
Do you have marriage aspirations?

Hurry I need answers!"

Long ago when I was very young some fem had the audacity to do this to me. I told her to go !

I think people are just less prone to BS nowadays.

I honestly don't get the outrage about someone asking another person about their job though. I LOVE my job and my career and really enjoy talking about it. I mean, it's where I spend 40-50 hours of my week so I would assume a potential SO would want to know something about it.

I went out with a guy a few weeks ago and one of the first things we both talked about was our jobs...he's in IT and I was interested in what kind of programs he develops. He then asked me a bit about airplanes because he was curious. I was in no way trying to find out how much money he makes. We also chatted a bit about what we were looking for in the future and how neither of us wants kids or marriage right now because we both want to travel more, but it's a goal for the future.

See, no big deal. We're both adults and can talk about adult things.
