THE MYTH OF DATING DOWN

THE MYTH OF DATING DOWN

The longer you wait, the hotter you date.

Is a complete lie.

You have a crush on someone? You desire a romantic partner? You wanna date people? Well then do it.

There's no such thing as settling down. Unless you're my mom and you marry the first guy who shows interest in marriage and has lifelong disease and has laughable bank account and isn't-

You get it. You don't have to rush into anything, obviously.

Just my opinion but you should wait for at least an year before you consider marriage. Maybe get finances, in laws and kids as subject out of your way, you know, clear the path. So there are no "accidents" and "betrayals". Yeah, that. It's one huge plus in dating now as opposed to nineties dating. Again, just my two pennies worth opinion.

Your friends will tell you you're dating down. Like I was going out with somebody submissive and my girl friends had a lot to say on the topic. How he's too passive and not cute enough.

Now I know what you'd say — he's your ex now, isn't he?

Yes. But I've gotta say, I didn't do it because the relationship was lacking or he wasn't manly enough. It was because he was kind of a hopeless romantic and I was kind of a hopeless aromantic. Different people. Kudos to him for cutting off something that wasn't working out.

What annoys me is people have this myth of always trying to chase the 10s, most attractive and most successful and most whatever. That is very natural and Art of Seduction says we try to define ourselves that way.

But you know what? Stay with someone who makes you the happiest. Makes you laugh the hardest. It's super cliche, and money and looks are important factors yes but don't hold those as priorities. You're an 8 and you go out with a 5? Perfectly fine. Can they watch anime with you? Do you spend your weekends together? Do they know your actual favourite movie is Daddy's Home 2? Well then, the hell with what your friends and family have to say.

Go for it.

It's 2023 people. Let's stop rejecting people because your friend said he is only 5'5 and she has paper-flat chest. Who cares?

All I've dated are up because I don't see myself that high anyway. And it would be pretty delusional to think I am good enough for someone 9 or 10 so I don't think about that.
Only way I would get that is if they expressed these thoughts and was just happy I made them laugh and can talk a lot with them.

Yes, I usually dated girls I had a lot in common with. The few that were very different from me were interesting at first bus soon became a chore to integrate them into my life. The woman I married was not the prettiest and she is not perfect but she is perfect for me.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[WhitneySnow]

I totally agree with you

[SnowedIn]

Brilliant. Yes. This.

"Stay with someone who makes you happy. Laugh.". (paraphrased).

This.

This is good common sense. It makes no sense to chase 10s unless one is a 10 and compatibility is very important.

Unfortunately my issue isn't that I reject people, it's the other way around.
Impossible to date down when I'm a zero

I've seen Daddy's Home 2. It was pretty funny. Especially when they cut down the cell phone tower.
