Name at least one con as to why someone should NOT date you?


I actively work against my flaws, some of which include past anger issues and difficulty to sympathize or put myself in other's shoes (spoiled upbringing will do that mentally). And this eludes to one "flaw" in that I'm not complacent about faults in my partner and will work with them, or against them in prayer and encouragement, to better themselves. But I don't take BS excuses about me not "loving who they are" if they're selfish, vain or incapable of admitting wrong and I don't accept any "i'm comfortable as I am" nonsense. It's tough love, and the Bible supports that, "save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh".
-Jude 1:23
Christians are to always work with "fear and trembling" on our salvation, meaning putting our old selves and the old man behind us more and more each day and working on our sanctification. The more we do that, the freer we become from the shackles of worldly concerns. Sadly many Christians today accept being lukewarm, despite Jesus being very clear on the severity of such a crime for a believer. "So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth".
-Relevation 3:16
Lukewarm as in being fake?
That is one way to put it. What the Bible means by it is those who claim Christendom, and belief in Christ but they don't pursue their calling, they don't preach the Gospel to the lost, they have a lazy/spotty prayer life and do not read and study the Bible often nor seriously. They only call themselves Christian on the surface but they do not follow Christ nor His teachings or commands for us, they don't live in the truth but embrace the world and the desires of the flesh. Their lips praise God but their hearts are far from Him as Scripture says. Which ultimately means that they are neither hot (true believers) or cold (atheist). And that is despicable in the eyes of the Lord because it is the epitome of being, as you say, fake.
Why thank you for mho.
Unless it was the bot! :p
I can be pretty embarrassing. I love to sing but I can’t really sing well but I’ll still do it all the time in public and like I’ll ride the bikes at Walmart at midnight. And I constantly hype my girl up like at the worst times and will grab her butt or something like if she’s talking to her parents. I’m basically a child in a grown ass 20 year olds body
Omg u be ridin the bikes at walmart 😂 you're awesome! I miss those days. Around 10p we used to use the pool noodles and sword fight around walmart while playinf hide and seek 😂
Anger issues and honest to a fault. I demand transparency and monogamy. I find it hard to love or trust a guy who had sex with more than 1 girl.
If he doesn't makes me feel loved and appreciated or if he lies, is over friendly with girls, manipulates and hides things from me then he's as good as dead. 😡
My dark side is very scary that I'm also scared of.
I appear as a friendly, rational, calm and loving person (I mostly am if handled well).
But if my TRUST is stabbed then I become the exact opposite and become controlling, egoistic, verbally, physically and emotionally abuse them, compare them with better men and start looking for someone else.
Yes if a guy has had more than 3 sex partners, it turns me off
One reason some guys shouldn’t date me is because I don’t engage in casual sex. Not judging anyone who’s okay with having casual sex (I’m not), it’s just that I get easily attached and I’ve been hurt because of it, so I won’t have sex with a guy who I’m not in love with. I think that’s probably one of the reasons why I’m still single but it is what it is. If that means that I die a crazy cat lady then so be it. I like kitties anyway lol 😝
I feel you. Im not about it either

I am terrible at vocally expressing emotions.
What causes you to have trouble expressing yourself
1. I'm not "confident" (cocky, arrogant, egotistical; whatever synonym you want to use for it). Women like that above all else in a guy. And well, I have flaws and definitely am not perfect, so I doubt I'll ever be Mr. Hot Sh*t like women love in men.
2. I'm short. Physically, that's my Fatal Flaw.
3. I'm honest and speak my mind. I don't like kissing people's asses or sugarcoating the truth because they're emotionally soft.
4. I'm overweight. I do NOT have a gym body, or abs. Most women (possibly, people) also hate overweight people.
5. I'm not rich, nor am I a simp. Anyone dating me is always going to go Dutch.
1. Just dont state all your insecurities aloud. No need to be repetitive
2. Wear taller shoes
3. You can be honest without sugarcoating and without being blunt
4. Start working out
5. As long as you can provide for yourself is all that matters
I practice consensual non exclusivity. So if the idea I may be home sharing a bed with a woman to a man bothers you, and you make that feeling known, I’ll tell you to suck it up or leave because they would have already consented to that relationship to begin with.
Lmao damn
Haha good one
Oh I’m weird. I enjoy philosophical or scientific discussions, and can’t stand the pedantic small talk that people tend to engage in over time. If you’re not challenging me mentally then we may have a physical relationship, but I’m not interested in anything further and I’m not good at pretending otherwise. I work with people for a living and that saps me of pretty much all the energy I have to deal with people who aren’t interesting.
Wow you sound like my teacher
I have a problem being grounded to one location for more than 2 years. Meaning unless they’re okay following me across the globe all the time, we won’t be compatible. I get bored with places pretty quickly and sadly, it’s not the lifestyle for everyone.
Oooo i couldnt handle that haha
Well, first of all: I'm SUPER SHY. Then, I am sometimes very hard to understand. My humor is the worst to many people (and I like joking around). I'm short and kinda ugly. My biggest "talent" is annoying people, and tbh, who wants a boyfriend like that xD
Why do u annoy people lol
Lots of reasons, I'm short, still kind of fat, just kind of unattractive in general, not super responsible and will try to make anything a joke, kind of shy and not the most confident when it comes to talking to women.
What can I say I'm kind of a loser🤷♂️
So wear shoes that make you look taller and clothes that elongate your height. Exercise and get fit. Learn to be more responsible. Learn when to be serious. Hang with some outgoing people. Or hang around shy and insecure people. Your advice to them will show you're the more outgoing confident one. you're only a loser when you give up and quit
When I am not in school and have nothing better to do I am notoriously lazy and even then most weekends I am usually extremely lazy even during school unless I am studying for an exam. I can still do basic stuff like hygiene and cleaning dishes but other than that I do the same amount of work as a cardboard box that is empty.
Damn why
- My health
- I talk out loud to myself
- I am not really social im a friend thats horrible keeping in touch... talking daily to people doesn't exist for me unless you live in the same house...
- My memory isn't great
- I like animals more than most people
- I am blunt
- I like actual food much rather home cooked meal than eating out
- Hate the beach because the salt water smell and the sand... take me to a river and ill be there for hours with my dogs
I have also hate shopping most cookie cutter girl things I dont enjoy...
I prefer quietness over music
I enjoy what other people call boring the most
My memory suuuucks. But whats wrong with your health?
I have seizures they were under control for 2 years mow relapsed
1. I come with brutal honesty.
2. I don't mind being teased sometimes, but teasing me constantly is annoying as hell to me.
3. I'm very picky about junk food.
4. I hate when my phone is blown up
5. I don't tolerate someone who can't manage their emotions
Well damn
Being hurt from x friendships and relationships I'm now really insecure. I need to feel like the person I'm with has my back and really likes me.
Because any hint of hesitance and I jump ship
More relationships need to make sure they have eachothers back. I hate seeing them side outside a relationship
1. I tend to say what's on my mind ( a lot of stuff is outta the blue )
2. I walk around singing like all the time ( it can get annoying )
3 . I'm not really the romantic type
4. I am insecure about A LOT of things
oh I forgot something
I'm stubborn AF
Lmao so you're blunt
Yeah
I am so busy. I work a full time job, I run a company and I try and keep fit. My time for "us" is limited and regimented. You have one weekend day and after 8 on weekdays but I'm in bed by 10 as I get up early so...
Yah it sucks.
Ahh that would kill me
Women say that I'm cheap. I'm a gentleman and pay everything for the date, but other than that I'm cheap. I'm not willing to pay her mortgage or rent, fill up her gas tank, pay her cell phone bill, etc. Now my male friends are the opposite. They are very generous with their money and the women appreciate it.
That doesn't make you cheap. Theyre responsible for their own bills and fees
Probably. But i personally dont like feeling like i owe someone somwthing in return so i prefer to pay my bills
@DizzyDesii
Believe me, the women I know that would like some financial assistance do feel like they owe the person giving it anything. I had one woman told me that his reward is he gets to go out with her and look at her.
Wow. She sound uppity af. Choose your women wisely
But also i had exes who said if they gave me anything that they expect sex in return. So i never accepted anything from them
@DizzyDesii
I hate to say it but at the core, it seems to be all about sex and money.
Gotta go for rare jewels
I do not respond to texts immediately and I am a workaholic. I have many friends, hobbies etc sometimes prefer to do things on my own. If he cannot keep up then I will continue with my hobbies. Not clingy at all.
Yea that would kill me
1. Because I´m inexperienced relating relationships.
2. I don´t have many friends.
3. I tend to be a day dreamer, if a conversation is boring and I tend to jump in my imagination and lose track their.
4. I´m stubborn and have a trust issue.
#3 is so me haha
I think these are all attractive pros honestly
Hmm I guess the uncertainty when I play poker. I don't think it's the worst con since my win percentage is higher than most players but some days I will unfortunately lose just due to the nature of the game.
Haha im into slots
I'm a single father and I will always put my child first. It's not a con for me. I was told by a woman it's a con and turn off that I won't put her first in my life and that my child wasn't apart of the relationship she wanted to build with me. I told her my child is apart of the package and if she couldn't accept that then I'll find someone who will and walked out on her leaving her the dinner bill.
Your child deserves to be first
Dunno, I guess if they want kids (since I don't want any), But someone who doesn't want kids would see that as a pro, not a con, so eh.
I don't typically think about negative traits.
Also that pic at walmart is the best xD
Yea it looks fun
I’m very damaged from sexual, emotional and physical abuse. I can’t form emotional bonds like others and I’m super promiscuous and cheat on my partners while being clingy and needy at the same time. All I have to offer is sex. People deserve better than me.
Yoi deserve better than that. You should love yourself before offering yourself to someone else
I would go to therapy. Just by the act of going you are setting yourself to make the mindset.
@rossred It's not how she is, but what she chooses to do.
@rossred And she didn't knew that till you brought it, do she?
@rossred That it's awful that she expresses she feels bad about how she has been doing till know, I don't agree with.
@rossred Yes, it's called lying. Cheaters are quite easy to spot, cause they lie at other things. It's no surprise.
@rossred And that isn't a problem of her, but of you.
Their are so many, its hard to choose. I'm a complete nerd so if you can't understand nerd speak or get into nerd culture then probably not going to work.
A nerd to me is school related. A geek to me is like a star wars lover
Then I'm both. I read scientific papers, study science (pretty much any and all forms of it from material science/metallurgy to physics and biology), anthropology, history, mythology, folklore, the occult, sociology, philosophy and pyschology. I also grew up reading fantasy and scifi and comics and I still enjoy games (video and board games), scifi and nerd/geek culture. So all of the above.
This feels self defeating 😂 maybe because I talk too much about movies...
I mentioned all the movies I've watched and my colleague embarrassed me, "ugh where do you get the time to watch all these films?" what was I going to say... "Umm I don't have a life, I don't have friends, I stay home a lot!"
@lilyanony1 even withh friends and work and etc, i love my movies. I've collected 786 films so far. I want a collection of 1000
Fair enough people love to try make me feel weird for no reason
I agree...
Lol I would totally date a guy who talks about movies a lot.
I'm not single
I have a lot of medical problems
I'm a bit overweight
That's all I can think of that's con's.
Single isn't a con :)
Im stubborn, I dont understand emotions that good😂, sometimes ill get irritated fast, ill say something dumb. I don't know what else
Yes im def stubborn and get easily annoyed
I'm one of those hot and cold types, and sensitive to negative emotion
Yea i can't stand the negativity either
I can’t really deal with emotions or comforting, just not the warm huggy type of person, sometimes sure but not generally
I suck at comforting
I'm over 60 and despite being a very enthusiastic lover I have a medical condition that makes sex nearly impossible.
Aww i hate that happened
Me too. It is common with men my age and even more so because I have diabetes.
@Leavesbound
Have you ever consider buying a high-quality strap-on for men? I've heard if you put a condom on it the woman can't tell the difference between the real thing and the strap-on.
by the way, how old were you when you discovered you have diabetes?
@BLMUSER I'd rather combine pump with Viagra. If I'm using a dildo I might as well keep it mounted on the f*cking machine I built. At least my way I feel something while I'm doing it.
Oh and women can tell the difference. A dildo is cold while a penis is usually very warm.
I was 59 when I discovered that I had diabetes but based on the list of symptoms I have I've probably been diabetic for around four or five years and pre diabetic for probably over a decade.
I'm a grumpy old guy who has lived alone for many years and I'm set in my ways. Okay, that's more than one reason.
Im young and still set in my ways lol
Small dick.
... That's all I can think of.
I don't really have any other negatives.
Nothing is ever too small for oral. Keep that in mind
Just makes it easier to deepthroat
@DizzyDesii But what about the vagina, though?
I dont even wanna lie to you on that one. Get a virgin cause everything looks/feels big/painful to a virgin. I loved my ex but he was like 4 inches hard. It was great for oral but never went deep enough. Myother ex was 8.3-9.1 inches and that shit hurt like a mf. I couldnt even take it all. I prefer someone 5-7 inches but haven't tried those yet
@DizzyDesii. Well, I do want to marry a virgin already. But mostly just on principle out of reasons of fairness. Because my horny ass waited even though it was a lot of work and sometimes torture. So I want to be with someone who has made the same sacrifice. I hope you can understand my feelings there. No shade on anyone who didn't wait.
If that also helps us have a better sex life, then awesome. That's just a bonus.
I dont see any shade because i still prefer virgins lmao. ain't gonna stop me from liking their innocence. I just can't stand virgins who beg for their virginity to be taken. Now thats a turnoff
@DizzyDesii Agreed.
Though -- ngl -- it would be a turn-on if it was a girl!
I would have fun with it. I would tease the hell out of her.
And then I would rock her world on the wedding night.
Only one damn I can think more than one, I´m kinda childish at times, I watch anime and love playing video games, I´m to horny sometimes also, oh and there are times that I have trust issues but not to crazy
Yea the anime and games would get to me due to annoyance with a past ex lol
I have intmacy issues and baggage from past toxic lovers. Even though wasn't and need love i sometimes do the opposite of that.
Just love yourself first :) so that others can love you
I can be Clingy, a bit possessive of them, and I can be a crack head without any crack, lol
But overall I'm a fun person to hang out with.
Lmao a crackhead without crack... well thats new
If you don't like the colour pink you probably shouldn't date me
Hahha
I'm old fashion/traditional
I'm stubborn as a mule
I can be an asshole sometimes
Those are a few reasons take your pick.
I’m stubborn too. Why are you an ass? Like is it intentional?
I am rather traditional. And i do not tolerate dishonesty, drugs, smoking, or criminal behavior.
Yea im not about the drugs or smoking. If theyre committing crimes, i’d disown them immediately. I see no fault in white lies
white lies are one thing.. im talking about deliberate deception which can cause problems later.
To be honest, I'm a bit insecure about myself, sometimes. Not always.
Everyone is in some way
For me im straight forward and say what
I mean. I get frustrated and eventually get upset if I feel she is not being honest with me.
I get voiceful and can be intimidating.
can't you be straightforward in a nice way tho
I have attachment issues and high expectations from every guy I talk to.
Girl yes like i’m always expecting the best
If she doesn’t understand Friday night is brother and brew night then she won’t be ok with me lol
Every Friday? Smh
For the most part , after my week of work. Comes to an end I honestly don’t want to drive anywhere or go shopping or do whatever , I just want to relax and have a few brews and chat with my brother over the phone , listen to music have a fire etc so she is welcome to join us as well , but if it’s her
Mission to sabotage it then to me she is a bitch considering she has the rest of
The night with me cuz my brother’’s bitch ass is usually in bed around 8 or 9 but usually I am not far after him lol Saturday and Sunday I am all hers but honestly Friday nights I really have no desire to do anything but relax , it has to be something exciting for me to skip brother’s night lol
I suffer from a general lack of life stability, but I can guarantee you that things will be fun and interesting.
Get your life together first and have fun later
"perfect sunny beach paradise day"
I don't like it...
Damn
I still go... lol
I just won't be that excited when asked "how amazing and beautiful this place is!!"
Apparently I'm an asshole, who never knows when to stop
Who said that
A german exchange student was the one who actually said it three friends got into angry fits one of them didn't so much say it, he kindly suggested it😂 via a fist to my face one girl told her sister on me multiple times but honestly
some girls I've been with left field flailing an older cousin of mine slapped me (and a "tennis coach" I guess) one cousin just straight stopped talking to me at a family gathering once (last Christmas)
Im at work so can't watch rn
Lmao what is that movie
No i watched the scene. Im asking what movie is that
Well shit that's easy.
Autistic, acne scars, not 6ft, no job, no car, physically weak, low IQ, socially awkward, below average looks, virgin at 26
You can date other people who understand or can relate to autism
You can get cream for the acne
You can wear taller shoes like combat boots
You can get a job and then a car
You can workout at home or in a gym
You can do some brain quizzes and eat brain foods.
You can socialize more but start slowly with other shy people
Being a virgin is not bad
Cream can help acne. But eating fruits and drinking lots of water has helped many more.
Yea i hate my job but i keep applying. Dont give up.
Gym always takes work. Maybe get a personal trainer because you may not be doing the right workouts.
Fck society. What do u think about yourself? What does God think about you? What does your future partner think? Thats all thatmatters
@DizzyDesii your kindness is touching
Any girl/woman who can't live without anal should not date me because I just will not do anal.
I refuse to do it too
I'm a sarcastic asshole.
I'm a musician.
I have a really high sex drive.
Every trait has its pros and cons.
Being a sarcastic asshole can get old, especially since my sarcasm is subtle and flies right under the radar.
Being a musician is cool and all, but the stereotypes of musicians never having money, never having work, being self centered assholes, etc aren't stereotypes for no reason.
High sex drive speaks for itself tbh. Having a horn dog that's ready to get busy 24/7 is not for everyone. I can't do monogamy because of it, which is a massive deal breaker for most.
My girlfriend likes all three of these, so I'm good.
I absolutely hate sarcasm. Asshole or not
@DizzyDesii
I know a few sarcastic people. The odd thing is that although they enjoy being sarcastic to other people they don't handle people being sarcastic toward themselves. They get defensive and attack the people who are being sarcastic towards them.
@BLMUSER lmao hypocrites
I'm being aggressive asf and people I know get uncomfy around me. Most of my friends wonder how do I stay alive with this hatred. I can stay extremely calm tho but I can't really control it sometimes.
Same. But I mostly repressed my that side. But once i feel taken for granted, sense inconsistency, not cared about, lied to or disrespected then I'll turn into someone they never imagined. All of my calm side will disappear and they will see a BEAST RAGING. I will use the SHARPEST words to hurt them and will find the pleasure in TESTING them. Because how dare they to double cross me?
I'm a bit too anxious at times (panicky and emotional).
Same
I'm a clean freak, seems my wife thinks that is a huge con... it drives her nuts.
If you're OCD yea
I don't have patience and I'll probably call it quits if I feel overwhelmed. I like peace and I get that by being single.
Omg i can relate
I have phases of depression that I’m still working on. I shut everything out until I’m ready to communicate again.
Itd be nice if I was a millionaire too huh?
I hope you succeed in beating depression
I'm not romantic, or not that expressive with my emotions sometimes
Im romantic and affectionate to a partner but not outside of that
I'm not into cuddling while sleeping. I can't sleep if someone else is touching to me.
Lmao same! It gets too hot
Any kind of smoking, drug use or addiction is a deal-breaker for me. Also, people who are rude or condescending.
I agree but i meant whats a con about yourself
Oh, haha I misread that.
I can be introverted, and I'm not a super punctual person lol
You think that's a reason not to date you? Cause count me in lol
I'm a nerd and often miss social cues.
Lol thats just a random meme haha. And social cues like what
Like when someone is interested or disinterested in a conversation, when it's time to move to another topic, when a certain way of explaining something oversteps the bounds into mansplaining. Things like that
Lmao i have hat same issue as you can see haha. I will keep talkin even if they dont like it 🤣
I for one approve 😂
I can get very busy at times when I do not have time to spend with someone. If they need constant companionship, then I'm not the right person for them!
I understand that one
I don't drive, and I have an incredibly short temper and get aggressive when things don't go my way
I dont drive either lol
Yeah, that would be a problem. LOL
Lmao uber exists for a reason
So it doesn't bother you if he doesn't drive?
A little but its not like i be trying to go anywhere for him to have to. My goal is to buy a nice tahoe and hire a chauffeur lol
You're single?
Sadly lol
Sadly? Why, what happened?
I just hate wasting time and will end something if need be
Gotchya. Probably best if you stay single. Maybe a friends with benifits
I should stay single because i hate when people waste my time? Im talking about someone having lied to me for 2 years just so i wouldn't leave them. I was piiiisssed that he wasted my time. I dont do friends with benefits because that would be a waste of time
Oh my bad. I thought you said dating in general is a waste of time. So there was nothing about your relationship that made it worthwile?
It was worthwhile until it was all a lie. He lied about something really important the whole relationship. So that makes the relationship a waste
Damn. That's fucked
They shouldn't date me for 2 reasons. 1. I'm a workaholic. 2. I'm still married.
Well yea
I have lots of medical conditions.
Im over weight.
Extremely anxious and get overwhelmed easily.
Have trust issues.
The age is wrong and I can't figure out how to change it. Im 43 but but all health stuff existed back when I was in my twentys. Severe rheumatoid arthritis, bipolar disorder, asthma and the list goes on.
Im 26 and have major arthritis symptoms. I had asthma in childhood but hasn't affected me after like age 14.
i can give 2 that are not fully connected to each other.
trust issues
will always keep a little something to myself/not share about myself/some things i have knowledge of
