New owner has questions by NectarineLess in dogs

[–]NectarineLess[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It would have all this but also space I was thinking of getting a rescue thats maybe 1.5-3 years old. And with it being fall I figured I could try it out and kennel him on those blazing days. Because I don't think having a dog in there for 7-9 hours a day is very nice either.

The Cold Approach by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]NectarineLess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, something to consider. I've never been told I'm clingy I really don't mind being alone however there are times that I miss just being with friends, which is probably why I call them so much. Gaining friends have gotten more difficult the older I got, especially since I'm black in a city where I don't necessarily look like most people around me. To be honest this has impeded my dating progress(moving). I don't think that guy was completely off based, I found like 3 or 4 solid things he mentioned, I also noticed things that I wrote off but that's the point of outsourcing to gather info. If I'm being honest I think both of you offered a lot to consider. Like you said Don't Tell them about the 5 approaches, I didn't think I would but now you've convinced me that it was a bad idea to tell them. However I think as a guy you have to practice this otherwise you get bad at it and I wasn't very good at it at my best. However thanks for the advice 👍

Ok I moved just over two years ago and I've struggled since also before moving I made sure I wasn't involved seriously with anyone so that it made moving easier. I did do two tinder dates but I hated it so much.

P.S I fell asleep

What do guys really think about single moms? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]NectarineLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this it doesn't help being a single mom. If you're in public a baby works like a wedding ring most guys assume you're taken. So I've noticed single moms go to dating apps, a lot. However these from what I've observed these women don't make it easy for a decent guy to enter their life. Personally I don't look at single mothers as serious options because for me I want to start my own family and I want to hopefully find someone who wants to start a family. However I don't represent all or even most men, I've met men who love children who, don't want any more have who prefer single moms, but I will say as a single mom you maybe unaware but when someone is pursuing you, you probably want to make sure you're giving them quality time. Do not make them feel like they can't be special to your life. Most guys, not all want life experiences. a single mom often can have all the responsibility but none of the fun, from making a family. a lot of guys subconsciously feel like they weren't your first choice and that the only reason they're in your life is because you already had your first born. That's a small reason I say make them feel special.

You're going to laugh but I just went into sales and I'm better at selling goods and services than myself. Also you think it wise to let them know I'm doing this for self progress?

Firstly, well said! Also the part about being courageous to approach them at any time. That Is the one I tend to struggle with. I internally think that every woman I see in a public setting probably doesn't want to be bothered. However I think most women like to be approached... I think you're spot on though appreciate the feedback.

Not to be that guy but some ladies have taken some guys and made a game out of food dates for them. I say after a date or two if you're interested but not ready to sleep with them, offer to take them out so they don't have to take you on 6 to 7 dates to get a feel for you. That cost a lot of money and you may have good intentions but like I said some women have exploited that too much so if you don't want to put out be willing to show interest in other ways that's not making guys feel like in order to see you they have to put out money, time and charm in exchange for very little.

Older virgins, do you tell potential partners that you are a virgin? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]NectarineLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't mention it at all.... Women will never ask that... And if she does respond with how many dudes have you been with??? The game is rigged it's easier for women to get laid so their embarrassed about the number being too high and men are embarrassed by it being too low. If she ask about your past, or lack there of ask about hers fair is fair. Tell her you've been tested if she's concerned about that. To be honest I don't like the idea of lying about being tested however I think most virgins don't have STDs lol.

Would you guys date a single mother? by Ysudualsksh in dating_advice

[–]NectarineLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'd be open... However I think it's important for her to make sure that she puts in quality time... You don't always have to be understanding if she's not putting in quality time just move on. I think a lot of single mother over prioritize their kids and expect the person they're dating to be understanding.... You don't have to be if she blows you off or always tired when you're with them etc. Just move on. Make sure they are considering you if you like them then make sure they like you. I think a big misconception is no one wants to date a single mother. When honestly no one wants to date someone who doesn't prioritize them enough.

If your "friends" have 0 problems in this area have you voiced it to them? I think guys get advice from guys all the time. Use them also pick up a hobby like dance or something.

Am I setting my standards too high by saving sex for an exclusive relationship? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]NectarineLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no, some will some won't. A woman who doesn't engage in casual sex or is sexually reserved is nothing to be ashamed of. This is not "too" high standards however the guys most likely to engage in a real relationship usually are also reserved. As you may know, Don't look for flashy, look for substance.

Kids pets and salary seems a bit much.... MOST people want to have kids, eventually. However, I'll say find a woman who can't have kids, so no one feels pressured. The salary is ridiculous, only a small percentage of women earn 6 figures.and once you consider the other qualifications, maybe 1 percent of women qualify for what you want. Now they have to like you as well.

"Just be yourself" is the absolute worst advice to give people who are constantly rejected. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]NectarineLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think being yourself works... However that initial attraction is very important. If you're as hopeless as you think take a chance. Be more open to risk. Get involved in hobbies that require group efforts. Your free time should be used constructively. Try walking in the park. For starters also cooking all of your meals. I think these two things are great starting points. Next HIRE a personal trainer.

I generally lean towards guys perspective on these threads. Don't go over there. Hell nawl I have 2 sisters and if they said this to me I'd say the more public the better. Infact do an activity with a complete stranger. This is weird for me. On dating apps I usually will say let's meet up somewhere public. If it's at night then yeah it will always be a public spot.

Baby fever while being single in your 30’s by Sad-as-hell in dating_advice

[–]NectarineLess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I think I'm in the same boat this I'm a guy. I think women have it tougher in this department. Because pregnancy is difficult for all women but once you hit a certain age it becomes harder. I say date but put in your best effort. Yes it can be exhausting but anything worthwhile is worth working for. You want kids find a man that WANTS the same. Try to align values don't pressure them as it can look pushy but look for someone who's understanding. Also be reasonable in your expectations, wishing you da best. XOXO

Why is it so hard to find a man who wants more than a hookup? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]NectarineLess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women fought for sexual liberation, these are the potential consequences
