I’ll be honest and say I’ve talked about dates with friends like the date was a candidate applying for a job they weren’t qualified for. I’ve also been on a date and felt like I’m not qualified to be here, I’ll just excuse myself.

Very true and I think it makes communication even more important.

Also I haven’t figured out how to tell someone, typically a friend, your list and expectations are batshit crazy in a polite way. I’m taking suggestions.

I call that elimi-dating. I’ve been on dates and observed them where one or both parties are elimi-dating. It’s awful. I’ve had more enjoyable job interviews.

Also I would fully expect that lady to be skulkin’ around the dude but also whichever poor woman he dates next.

I’ve also seen a woman who kept sleeping around on a guy because they hadn’t had the talk. Meanwhile everyone thought of her as this guy’s girlfriend and it was blatantly obvious so did this guy. They’d been dating for months. I recommended she have the talk so they were on the same page but she knew what he was thinking and didn’t want reason to ruin her fun.

I went out on a first date I cut short and the guy thought I was the one. Like weeks later showed up at my doorstep crying at 3am. Then I know guys who are like 40 something thinking maybe I’ll settle down one day.

The dating pool is fair game batshit craziness.

I’ve come to the conclusion that male and female dating standards are on the whole wild these days. We all talk like there’s a generally agreed on dating standard that we’re all supposed to know. Meanwhile I’ve seen a woman ask if there’s any tea or red flags about a man and then proceed to share a mugshot. While another woman thinks because she chatted with a guy on a dating app and then they met for coffee 2 weeks ago with no contact since then, that he’s a cheating boyfriend for meeting someone else for coffee. I knew from personal experience how crazy men could be but damn the stories some women tell on themselves is wild to me.

This 💯 Too large a percentage of the dating pool needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and reevaluate either what they’re doing/offer, what they are willing to accept in a partner, or accept that they’re going to be single.

So intriguing

Not gonna lie I’m kind of jealous at this point that you haven’t had to deal with Jack stalkers.

I love Sid.

Thanks!

Good morning!

Looks interesting. Adding to my TBR list. Will need to find a copy that’s not $63 usd. (Why is it listed so high!)

I’m about to put it in my bio that I don’t know Dorsey, therefore I am definitely not dating him, no I cannot connect you with him, yes I am absolutely sure. I’ve talked to some women dealing with this, any men getting dm’s or messages on other platforms like they’re Jack’s messaging service?

Oh yeah and GM!

Convince Island to quit too!

🥹 awww

Gorgeous!

😢

It’s incredible.
