Search Results: get back out there

I've only had one girlfriend a few years back, and she did not seem very interested in sex in the year we were dating.

I kept asking her then if it was because I was too small for her. She would always say no but would also seem to avoid the question.

One night we were both drunk and she jokingly said that it 'was the size of a lighter', she apologised a lot the next morning and said she felt bad. We broke up for different reasons and I haven't dated since.

This is something that worries me a lot and I don't feel confident enough to get back out there. I would like to know if you would date someone my size.

For a bit more context I am 5' 7" about 125lbs

I have been fired from 13 out of 25 jobs I have held.

When I was 16, I was a lifeguard at a fitness center. This is probably my first non-seasonal job. The location had both indoor and outdoor pools. I took my job very seriously. I was a very strict rule enforcer. As a lifeguard, my job description entailed enforcing rules. I confronted and even scolded managers on duty for failing to keep their two-way radios on them, as there were many times I was left alone at the indoor pool responsible for the safety of patrons. One day, there was a tornado warning, and I cleared the indoor pool of swimmers. The manager on duty came back to question me as to why I closed the pool and tried to get me to reopen it, and I outright refused. With the thin roof that is meant to open, it was a clear danger to everyone inside the pool when the shards and debris come collapsing down.

One day, I was called into the office by my actual pool manager. I was told I received too many complaints and if I received one more, I was to be fired. I felt this was a forceful resignation and I left. In response, I was placed on a blacklist for life to not be rehired by the entire hospital/health system.

This is an example of the bullshit I had to deal with. Workplace politics, pissing certain coworkers off, etc...

35 years ago, James "Buster" Douglas defeated Mike Tyson via KO in Round 10 of 12 to win the IBF, WBA, and WBC Heavyweight Titles.

One of the biggest and most iconic upsets in the history of the sport and the first defeat in Tyson's professional career.

Oh man, the Buster Douglas vs. Mike Tyson fight in 1990 is still talked about as one of the biggest upsets in sports history, even 35 years later! I can only imagine what it must have been like to be in the crowd that night at the Tokyo Dome to witness it all go down.

Tyson was on top of the world back then, the undisputed heavyweight champion with a record of 37-0 and 33 KOs. Nobody thought he was going to have any trouble against this underdog challenger, Buster Douglas. The bookies had Tyson as a massive 42-1 favorite! It was basically seen as a tune-up fight for Tyson before his big showdown with Evander Holyfield.

I can imagine fans jumping up and down, high-fiving strangers, just in complete shock over what they had just witnessed. Buster Douglas, the massive underdog, had just dethroned the unbeatable Mike Tyson! That's the kind of moment that gets etched into sports history forever. Even 35 years later, it's still regarded as one of the craziest, most memorable fights of all time. I wish I could have been there to see the look on everyone's faces when Tyson hit the canvas. What an unbelievable night that must have been!
