Polls: Dating

Because I don’t care what you say playing snooker/billiard/pool is a cue sport classification. It takes many years to get good at. It’s just a non contact sport. Or is this not competitive enough for you?

I (24) have known my ex (29) for 2 years now we dated for 8 months and moved in together we ended our relationship 3 months ago because we argued too much. when we broke up he started seeing his ex again recently he asked me to work on our relationship again i told him i would have to think about it 2 weeks later we sat down and had a conversation about what we both should expect in the future so i could tell him if i wanted to continue the relationship or not eventually it turned into a argument so i blurted out and said we should just be friends. the next day we had another conversation and he told me he's not where he wants to be in life and just wants to be friends i told him i felt like he tried to start an argument because he knew i was going to make my mind up that day.

i have been having a hard time meeting new people i thought i was over my feelings for him so last week i asked him to be my friends with benefits for a little while and now i have feelings for him again we have been getting along very well lately should i tell him how i feel and ask him to continue our relationship or should i just let it go and end the friends with benefits since he told me a few weeks ago he doesn't want a relationship anymore?

I'm just curious why you think this happens. Please feel free to comment your thoughts as well.

Your date and you have been going well and everything seems fine. You even invite them in your home for a few drinks and skip the bar. Everything is all good but then they say they gotta go. They let themselves out and you thought it went well but notice they left their keys. Of course, you wanna give it back to them but notice you drove them. So when you step out, they're gone. Coincidence they're forgetful or something is wrong?

I am planning to message him, but I am not sure exactly what to say. We're just acquaintances, but he's a very close friend to my best friend. We've known each other since we were like 12, but we didn't really have a friendly conversation, only casual talks. He was a schoolmate, a batch mate, actually. During high school, he had a girlfriend. I never really heard of him since he left our city for college. It's only when he graduated and returned to our city when I heard he is single. So, I was thinking of giving a shot but I am really shy.

Please read the definition I'm going for before answering

Agreeableness: the tendency to act in a cooperative/harmonic/pleasing manner

- A single mother with kids of 1 or 2 men; she selected wrong. She was likely an unstable girl and had a past in her younger years. The child's father bailed out.

- A single mother via IUI (artificial insemination). She likely got strung along in a long-term relationship and by the time she found out he would never marry her, she had wasted years. Not wanting to kill her remaining years, she went to the fertility clinic to it done.

I’m asking as I have my mom, family, past landlord & moms friends judge me. My mom says I can never have sex only she can have sex and she’s 60. Then her friends live alone & have kids & they say to my mom why your daughter lives alone? That’s strange. Y she’s not living with her mom? She is hiding men in her apartment for sex. Wtf? I have a boyfriend, a partner , I’m not 15 hiding men. Im 25 as well. Y her friends are acting like I’m 15? Unless my mom is saying lies to her friends that I have no boyfriend & not 25. My past landlord had a son 23 & already with a baby. But he was living with her & ex girlfriend living alone with baby. And I was 24 no baby & have boyfriend visit me in my apartment I’m renting. All she did was spy on me. How did her son and she herself have babies? By having sex. Her sons not married. Why she’s so angry boyfriend visits me when her son is having sex younger than me and already has a baby now? I’m so confused.

(Asking on behalf of myself.) Recently been diagnosed with melanoma and wondering whether this diagnosis or melanoma surgery scars would impact how the opposite sex feels towards me. Will be a good way of distinguishing the superficial from the genuinely good men though! Also scars are the least of my worried, a tiny part of the overall badness of melanoma. Please be honest with your response. Thank you.

a lot of women who are white were pretty upset by the words of Dr. Umar.

"Black men get the white women that white men genuinely do not want. They don't get the top of the line white women they get left overs. They don't get the white women that come from the richest families"- stated by Dr. Umar see tiktok vid below

Based on my observations I found that online dating through apps or websites tend to be less successful long term than traditional means of dating like meeting through mutual friends, meeting through work/school.

Why is this?

I once heard that being a hopeless romantic was impossible, bc romantics are actually full of hope. 🤯😌
i need a boost 🙈
i’m girly, funny, educated, kind of hood, eat healthy but am a sucker of hot cheetos, drinks lots of water, drinks maltas too. PR & DR made me. i always smell good. realistically positive. 5’5, 128. model physique. not a polygamist anymore. straight. prefer girls as friends. not a feminist at all. submissive. assistant-type, babygirl vibes all day. masculinity will always be respected.
please oh please, don’t be toxic 🥹💗 #stillhealing

(Assuming she is physically attractive to you).

Men complain about getting bored with women (including their partners), get annoyed by their emotional needs and anxieties, get repulsed and frustrated when facing a discussion that is not faced with with logic; complain about women wanting gender equality, thinking they wouldn't do their part or that they wouldn't offer enough on the table in exchange; complain about women being difficult to talk with and "expensive".

Now, imagine a woman who counters the complaints: she shares the same interests as yours with the same depth, has a technical and goal-oriented mindset, is confident and insightful about any topic you open, takes a lot of initiative to drive the day, is not anxious, doesn't feel gender inequality effects, doesn't need a boyfriend (but accepts one), is very logical and assertive during conflicts, coherent, chill and very easy to start any conversation with, men have an unusually very good esteem of her, she manager herself alone by a lot, reasons like a man would, knows what she wants, is generous, trustworthy.

All this can easily come with a cost that is typical of any "too" independent individual: she is sometimes cold and drastic, likes sex but doesn't easily commit to a relationship, doesn't perceive your authority, puts in you in circumstances that imply gender equality, is often too busy for your emotional needs and fully absorbed in her interests, doesn't reply fast to your texts, can't fall for any mind game or power struggles and reads your intentions in advance, doesn't forgive you by just by "missing" you, fights about strongly grounded opinions, is not afraid to offend you with a "no", has male friends she shares interests with, she needs alone-time and if you don't follow her initiatives she leaves you behind.

Is that a cost you would pay?
