Don't you see that everyone is laughing at you? Some voice it, most are doing it behind your back...
Also, this thread is not actually about Relationships.

He had said "there are only two reasons why she would be with you. The first is your wallet."

Then I asked "what's the second?" (I knew what it was but I was trying to get him to say it).

My gf is the one who said "I think he means the second reason is being well hung." at which the driver said "yeah she guessed it"

I said "well it's both then"

Sorry, the general conversation was very similar but you were right it was her that said it. Just goes to show you people sometimes remember conversations slightly different than they were. It makes me feel better that he didn't actually say it.

She liked that he was persuading me to buy an engagement ring since that's what she's been mentioning lately.

This is what happened to a tourist in New Orleans that went to the wrong part of town:

The danger is real. I think if I was in SF or LA or Vegas it would be okay to do this but in New Orleans you need to stick to the nice neighborhoods/districts. Getting out in the bad parts of NOLA would be like getting out in the bad parts of Baltimore or Harlem or Detroit. New Orleans is a beautiful city with more history than most cities in the USA and better food but you have to have street smarts.

I appreciate the confirmation.

Of course it casts doubt on all the other tales you've spun here. But your whole situation is rather unbelievable. It's just really way too early to be talking about your crotch cBach.

The point isn't whether NOLA is crime-ridden or how Ubers work or links to pix your girlfriend took. Nobody is impressed that this woman is hot because of how horrible her core personality is, as described by you.

Truly, people here would be really happy that you've found someone you're into if only she weren't such a shallow mercenary princess.

Your stories aren't impressing anyone. They're just sad chapters in this reality show you've willingly signed up for.

I’m not sure how this changes anything I posted in that quite since I specifically mentioned waiting for a location that was safe enough. I’ve been to New Orleans. I wouldn’t get out at any old street corner but if I determined I didn’t want to give that driver any further business I’d be looking for the exit early unless I was already close enough to where I was actually going.

I shouldn’t be, but I’m a little surprised I’ve had to spell this out for you. Sometimes you have to fill in the blanks: it’s a web forum I didn’t think I’d need to outline my entire thought process about when I’m willing to get out of a ride share!

You must have a friendly 'I can rib this guy' look about you. I've had dates tell me they enjoy the way guys get out of our way when we're out.

That’s more fun, (for me) being out with a guy no one’s going to try sht with!

It was a 7 minute ride. Was not worth getting out and getting another ride.

My gf doesn't like "your type". She dated a cop and said he was too bad ass and she was worried that would translate to him being controlling and violent. She dumped him within a week and he persisted on her so she blocked him.

The fact I have an autistic kid and am more accommodating (I have to be) means that I can "go with the flow" in a lot of conversations.

In the end, I took her back to the hotel room and had fun, so I was the "winner" regardless of the losers I interacted with.
