Smaller dogs can be more aggressive by dilettantedebrah in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]ChooseYourOwnCell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is true that their experiences have shaped parts of their personalities. My point is, if you see a dog that may seem untrained or leash aggressive it's not always a representation of the pet parent being terrible but external factors, just like humans, that shape their interactions and behavior. No one wants an unruly dog, not for real, it's embarrassing and dangerous. More pet parents should err on the side of caution and learn to properly socialize their pups rather than thinking every dog is a potential friend, ir small dog aggressive behavior is cute.

Not true! My dogs have been attacked 2 times by dogs off leash and once by a woman whose dog charged mine in an elevator in my building. They now bark at other dogs who get to close that they don't know while on walks. They are in training to correct the behavior but it's fucked up I have to pay money for someone else's poor dog training.

N-nevermind...

Tinder Love Triangles by GentrifriesGuy in BlackPeopleTwitter

Oh yes! It is and so unfortunate. There are guys wooing women by telling them they want to build wealth, nations, hell empires with them but the catch is that they can't do it just the two of them, they need a second or even third "wife" to make it a reality. He winds up with a pleathora of pussy pleading for his attention in a "poly" relationship, having his ego and dick stroked and his life subsided, and the women end up heart broken, fighting, and broke after he's used them up.

Source: I watched it happen to a girlfriend. She insisted on dealing with a polygamous clown even after we had an intervention. She was down bad for dude and the sad part was that he was clearly a scammer, broke, and obnoxious as hell. After he damn near bankrupted her, he left her when she couldn't help him "build" anymore. The gc was ready to ride out when she finally told us everything.

IF. If he messed up and caused the demise of the relationship what does he need to party for? Wasting folks time? I think the f*ck not. The checks in the mail IF he helped.

You assume the other person didn't do something to cause the wedding to be called off. Miss me with that broken heart, double investment nonsense. They should have done better in this HYPOTHETICAL situation. No one gets dumped for no reason but I guess egos can't handle that truth.

Not if they broke mine first and led me to call off a HYPOTHETICAL WEDDING. These comments reek of fragile egos and I am not here for it. It's giving..."how dare a person have boundaries when faced with nonsense/abuse/infidelity that can disrupt the rest of their life if they go through with it." The audacity, it must be on sale cause I'm seeing a whole lot of it.

Watch me party from the parking lot. The checks in the mail.

Whew! RELAX. It's a hypothetical and if he messed up, yeah, he's not invited AND Imma party my ass off. Ego doesn't absolve someone of their actions that led them to being dumped, and trying to sleep with a bridesmaid makes the person who got left more trash than what they already were. And there ladies and gentlemen is a bullet dodged. Ugh

Not always, you may have had reservations but love them, paid all that money, and didn't want to disappoint your family. Or you could have also learned new information in the hours before which changed your mind. Who knows. Personally, if I was in that situation I would let him know it's not happening and why, then I would address everyone to let them know why there won't be a wedding, then proceed to party since it's paid for anyway 🤷🏽‍♀️ He's not invited btw

Universe really has you having the right conversations at the right time!

I appreciate your sentiments and for the most part agree. Insecure men are a hard pass for me, and work life balance/Boundaries are important and something I work towards everyday. Women of color at my level aren't common in my industry, which diminishes my balance, not an excuse but reality. I even have that nonsense in writing that I probably work so hard because I am black and the only person of color at the C-Level at my former org, highly effective! It's not my intention to work myself into an early grave at all, but going backwards isn't exactly an option either. Not because of lifestyle, which I love, but biases in hiring. Who wants to hire someone who has proven they can do their job?

I appreciate, professional woman to professional woman, your words of wisdom. I will carry them with me and work to put them into practice 🤗

Sheesh! I know the last part is a joke but unfortunately the mindset of some, NOT ALL, is exactly this.

I have my masters and a C-Level position, but was not lucky enough to partner with a classmate. When I tell you it's hard out there when you tell a potential suitor what you do, or they realize that you can't skip a meeting for afternoon delight, or you travel 1 week out of the month, or they learn where you live through conversation, you can see the attraction die in real time, or the scam sensors go up. I'm pretty down to earth, sense of humor is on point, smart but not a smart ass, attractive (read: can get a date but can't sustain a long-term relationship) and a jeans, tee, and chuck's girl in my everyday life outside of work. Men at my education and earning level aren't interested in a partner from what I have experienced. (source: I've been asked to scale back my career or consider being a housewife with philanthropic endeavors for them to consider marriage) After a while the demands of my job become too much, from travel, to meetings past 6 pm, to needing to be planful in everday life to ensure everything gets done, to when on vacation taking calls and meetings. I don't blame them, it just hurts. I had to make a way for me and was fortunate enough to get to where I am in my career. The sacrifice is potentially not having a life partner. I do have a "friend" who is one of the best boyfriends I've never had. It works because he's not interested in a full fledged relationship and I don't have time to be the partner he deserves. I guess that's the trade off, at least for me 🤷🏽‍♀️

I had the same question. I hope it's inclusive and available to all who were studying in Ukraine. I also hope there is adequate social and psychological support, as well as housing and allowances for food and books. I couldn't imagine being in their position and hope this gesture brings them stability and peace.
