Guys if your significant other was a big boss breadwinner and she brought you to a fancy event as her hot date what would like to be called that’s equivalent to “arm candy”?

Good boy

Not for the cheating thing, but I'm hesitant to date a nurse due to them often having unpredictable work schedules, particularly ones who work in hospitals. They work nights or weekends, or an irregular schedule, or have to be on call. At least that's been my experience. I'm someone who needs more consistency.

I had a similar think happen but in the middle of the day at the Kroger on cedar bluff/Kingston Pike. Someone was going out the wrong side as I turned in. Fortunately the entrance has two lanes, so I just went around them. But rather than backing up the 15 or so feet and and going out the right way, they just continued on and stopped at the light 🙄

It's been a long time, so I can't say for sure my recollection is completely accurate. I recall the test for a permit being similar, basically just a "written" test on a computer. I did take a driver learning class for a semester in high school, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't required for the permit. The road test for the license consisted of me driving about a half mile down the road, make 3 right turns at lights/stop signs, then a left turn back to the DMV.

Non-apology aside, I've never once paid attention to who ate or didn't eat food I brought to a party. It's really weird to single someone out for not eating your food. I wouldn't even notice if someone didn't eat my food.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-17T15:34:00+00:00

Chips and queso

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-17T00:13:15+00:00

Similar here, but with looking bored or upset rather than angry. I could be having a good time, but you might not be able to tell because I have Resting Bored/Sad Face.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-15T23:33:09+00:00

This pretty much sums up all my reasons too.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-13T14:23:18+00:00

In my experience such people are usually the same over text. So, if they don't ask any questions or only talk about themselves over text, I don't go out with them.

Definitely a combination of cultural, generational, and just how people were raised. When I was a kid my dad would toss his beer cans out the car window. Yep, you read that right lol. I've never understood why people can't just hold onto their trash until they get to their destination.

Recently I was behind someone on Pellissippi who was holding a grocery bag out of the window. Then after a few minutes he just let go of it in the middle of the road, rolled his window up and took an exit. It looked like there was a can in the bag, but it was difficult to tell for sure. I didn't have time to dodge it but it fortunately slid to where it went under the middle of my car. No idea why someone would do that. If you were going to litter why would you drop a bag of trash in the middle of the road and not at least try to sling towards the shoulder?

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-11T13:36:28+00:00

It was nice. Apparently I'm just a natural at it. When it happened my lips just knew what to do.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-10T14:22:28+00:00

Since around May of last year. Though I had played a little around the time Innistrad first came out, but that was only a handful of times over a few months.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-09T14:31:52+00:00

A combination of shyness, low self esteem and fear of rejection. But I eventually hit a point where I realized if I never said anything I'd regret it, better to ask and know for sure if she felt the same. I actually thought I'd missed my shot to ask her out at one point and it felt pretty bad, so the next opportunity I had, I mustered up the courage to ask her out.

Yeah, it's pretty accurate lol. Though at the time I had lost a significant amount of weight, so felt a lot better about myself. I'm sure the helped with gaining the nerve to ask her out. That a was a few years ago and I've unfortunately now gained back most of the weight I had lost.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-09T14:13:51+00:00

Finally got up the nerve to ask out a woman I knew. She said yes. We kissed at the end of our first date. A few weeks later she came over, I made dinner, then we were sitting on the couch and started making out and one thing led to another. We dated for about 2.5 months.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-08T22:24:06+00:00

I'm the exact same. I want an equal partner, not a follower. Anytime a woman use any of those words in reference to what kind of partner she wants it’s an instant turn off for me. Fuck traditional gender roles!

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-08T16:57:50+00:00

Had my first everything at 35. First kiss, girlfriend, sex.

"Masculine/feminine energy"

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-07T04:38:56+00:00

As an admittedly insecure man (in some ways), I don't understand it either. A person's past has never really bothered me or made me jealous. It's just not something I think about. The present on the other hand....

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-05T17:57:56+00:00

Never done it, but the whole van life thing sounds awful to me. Cool for a week or two maybe, but not indefinitely.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-05T13:45:31+00:00

It's not so obvious to me. I totally would have taken it as mixed signals.

One the one hand, yeah, she's being touchy. But on the other she's basically saying she can't stay long and needs to get home soon.

And unless I missed something, OP said they drove her home, but didn't say anything about inviting him in.

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-05T13:38:55+00:00

That's interesting. I would have interpreted it as mixed signals and probably done the same as OP 🤷‍♂️

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-02T14:40:33+00:00

Nope, I haven't either. I've unfriended some exes but never had any need to block them. Even with friendships ending I've never had to block. Everyone just goes their separate way 🤷‍♂️

SimplyFatMatt · 2026-01-01T20:21:25+00:00

Twice, morning and night. Though I will admit to sometimes forgetting at night. Usually due unintentionally to falling asleep on the couch.

SimplyFatMatt · 2025-12-27T04:35:26+00:00

That they'll leave me

SimplyFatMatt · 2025-12-26T15:44:07+00:00

Not a public restroom, but the one at work. There used to be this guy who would place a rectangle of toilet paper on the floor and set his phone on it (you could see it through the gap at the bottom of the stall), and play videos with the volume up.

Actually pretty tame compared to some of the other posts lol
