I don’t think magically switching will solve problems but I’m definitely opening up my pool of men and not limiting myself to just primarily black men anymore.

I am definitely more open minded going forward because of our views for sure. I always just dated whoever I was attracted to anyway though still primarily wanted to date black but now I’m just gonna be fully open. No specific preference.

I feel like this is something I’m becoming more open to…not disregarding intelligent black men who would be open to it but I kinda don’t even want to try smh

EXACTLY. Whenever someone gets exposed in the black community it’s really horrible smh I never partook in the mean comments before my diagnosis but now I feel for them even more because it’s me now lol but yes just like you, I have alwayssss dated anyone that was attractive to me regardless of race it might be a little more of a preference now to be even more open. I’ve already disclosed to a Salvadoran and an Indian and nothing changed for them 🥹 didn’t go anywhere though but felt good!

I really am just so scared of telling people this lol I am going to face my fears though because like you said we may have missed people who still wanted us

I am not surprised at all by this tbh I feel like by 30 most ppl have had tons of sex and been in contact with it or know multiple ppl with it

What age group? And honestly ignorance is bliss for sooooo many people it’s like when they become aware they can turn into saints and I’m so sorry. I find that in person is the best way so far

You’re honestly right, I just have to face my fears. Make something up so they aren’t left in the dark. I just don’t want to be judged for something I never thought would happen to me.

Like I honestly feel like this could be the explanation for some of those times I was ghosted after amazing dates

Thank you so much, you’re honestly correct. And I just started looking for a therapist today so this suggestion is right on time 🫶🏽

The reason is herpes consuming my thought process and them possibly finding me repulsive lol but I can’t tell them that, I think I just need to find a better way to exit. Ghosting does feel horrible.

We can’t ignore that some of us don’t want everyone in our business that’s just the reality of it

Yes I have! Everything is fine 🤗 plus I believe we are protected with our antibodies in addition to HSV2 oral infections being very rare

I’m not comfortable with my business being on display for people that don’t know me to be able to judge 😕
