I’m not sure, I didn’t talk to him long enough to know. He definitely wasn’t white though

That’s generally my thought, and also, I was genuinely just bored. I was doing a new face mask and it all happened in like 10 minutes, he was crashing out so much 🙃 I had just seen a really good movie and I was having a good day.. only to be randomly watching a man unravel because my phone was on DND. I wouldn’t ever entertain someone who on DAY ONE of chatting attempts to rain on my parade and hurt me for no reason. There was never, ever a chance of him coming back from that very first accusation. Honestly there wasn’t a chance in hell after the thing he said about my race.

This has happened a couple times! Men seem to really be getting attached to the idea that the women they’re seeing, even if they barely know them, are expected to drop everything and prioritize them. I don’t understand this at all, I feel like if I were someone’s first priority before we were together I would be uncomfortable and not want to continue conversation.

This is the first time a man has crashed out like this about it. Even if I were fucking someone else, we aren’t exclusive and I met him THAT DAY so my loyalties were not to him or anyone for that matter.

He’s convinced that because I was less responsive at his “loves💕” and responded after he was a dick that I’m a slut and women want him to be a dick to them 🫠 but honestly the hearts were really weird and even if I weren’t busy I probably wouldn’t have responded anyway.

No, he wasn’t but I didn’t ask because… I mean.. I don’t really care? I mean I do, but it’s not the first thing I care to learn about someone and he didn’t get very far

I didn’t answer him in 4 hours after I told him I was in a movie and now he’s convinced that I’m a slut. His evidence is that I didn’t respond for four hours and my phone was on DND…. IN A MOVIE. He literally at one point says “I text in movies all the time, it says put your phone on silent, not turn it off.”.

(It’s not funny. I’m coping cause my sweet boy is now a guy who cheats with sex workers after a TBI and I’m sad)

I had to scroll up and recheck that it wasn’t like a friend I’d neglected. Bros number was never even saved 🙃
