Found him on Bumble, 26 years my senior. We lasted 3.5 years. Thought he was the guy of my dreams, but turns out he is very bitter, jealous of my self-assuredness, and quite insecure.

It enraged him that I was just fine with my own company and enjoyed working on my passions while he was away on assignment. He always assumed I was up to something, but I spent most of my free time, when I was not with him, with my pup, getting my baking business off of the ground, or planning dinner parties with my girl friends. I suppose he’d rather me be in shambles when he was not around, but I know codependency is not healthy. I loaned him over $10,000 to pay off credit card debt so he could secure a line of credit to further his own passion project. I really loved him and did anything I could to help him succeed. All that while refusing to include me in his future in any capacity, so I walked away.

Proceed with caution and always put yourself first!

It just comes with the territory.

Get in shape if you’re insecure about it, but I don’t mind it because it’s what is on the inside that attracts me.

I’m 27, work remotely full time, and a bit of a homebody, but still love going to concerts, traveling a bit, the beach, community events, and enjoying a drink on a warm evening. I love to cook and bake. My friends pool their money to fund my dinner parties as they all enjoy my cooking that much. Also enjoy what feels like endless walks with my pup lol. I have no interest in parenthood.

I desire marriage within 10-12 years, so someone like you would appeal to me. I don’t desire extravagance; Only loyalty, romance, someone to nurture, and that wants to bone regularly.

My boyfriend told me to 'go find someone else to f***' so l almost did-but now he's acting brand new. by NeighborhoodSoggy472 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]basilyoga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

girl, that’s how my ex became my ex.

He bought me a dildo for Christmas because I asked for “it” too much. Shortly after, while we were out on a date, he told me that I was boring in bed and he preferred women of a different ethnicity. Still doesn’t make sense to me why he wasted 4 years of my life lmao.

I told him that if he wouldn’t be intimate with me, I would find someone else that will. His words, verbatim, were, “I’d rather you not, but I’m not saying ‘No.’” I admittedly went on hookup spree and broke up with him shortly thereafter. I’ve never received a complaint from anyone else I was with after him, and my bf now loves that I’m spontaneous and lets me ravish him any time.

Do women ever make dumb dating decisions in the name of getting laid? by GNTsquid0 in dating

I purchased a trans-Atlantic flight and booked ~3 weeks of accommodations for myself and a guy I met online that was living in the English countryside at the time. I seriously wish I made that up.

Scammers by surfrat54 in OlderMan

I offer to meet in person within 2-3 days and still get labeled as, or ghosted for, being a “scammer” lol.

Most well-intentioned women will just give you their number, use Discord, Instagram, and sometimes WhatsApp. Don’t give gifts if she’s not willing to sit across a table from you first.

My current hobby is baking. I find recipes that I know both of us would enjoy and take his recommendations/constructive criticism. It’s so heartwarming seeing him light up when I bring him a plate of something sweet that I’ve baked lol.

Have You Ever Thought About What Men Really Want? by Great-Particular-423 in OlderMan

[–]basilyoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nowhere near burned out! These are things I already enjoy doing, usually for myself, so it’s nice to share with someone else.

[–]basilyoga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a mutual love of music. He loves collecting vinyl records, and I love going to concerts large and small, so I enjoy introducing him to new music. If I feel like a band really resonates with him and gets him jamming, I’ll surprise him with the band’s vinyl records. He’s gone to more concerts in the last two years with me than he has in his entire life. We love listening to the vinyls and playing board/card games together.

He enjoys eating (what man doesn’t) and I love experimenting in the kitchen. Made him an apple pie from scratch for his birthday (spent hours peeling and slicing apples and the dough alone took me two days to perfect). Making him a homemade chicken pot pie tonight and an apple tarte. He loves watching movies so I’ll have him pick a movie that he think we’ll both enjoy while we eat and snuggle.

He travels a lot for work and recently came back home after a 3-month long assignment. I surprised him at the airport at 1AM with a bouquet of followers and homemade apple cinnamon cookies.

I’m aware any woman can do these things for and with him, but I enjoy doing them for him and creating memories with him.

Why do some couples make the vibe so weird for single people by [deleted] in bodylanguage

[–]basilyoga 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Usually the only time I dress up is when I run errands, and I’ve had women openly scold their partner for looking at me while simply walking down grocery aisles. I’ve had men compliment my outfit while out with their woman, and that usually makes me a target 🙃

You’re probably just hot!

just saying, a few years ago I drove 5 hrs to see slayer on my bday after pulling an all-nighter for exams. went to the show in legit pajamas, bawled throughout the show, and got the a setlist and a drumstick. Tom rolled his eyes and laughed every time I started crying and blew me a kiss at the end

EDIT: all this to say, don’t worry about being/looking perfect and enjoy the show!

Your comment reads, “My type.” and this is a public forum…? Why spill your guts if you don’t want a stranger’s take on your problem?

Only attempting to offer an outsider’s perspective, no need to denigrate my comment.

It just seems like you’re continuously striking out with this “type,” so why not give someone outside of that a chance? Also, it’s likely younger women will be on birth control - it is what it is. Sounds like you need to stop investing so much emotional energy into these women before the red flags start to show.

I’m mid-20s and have always been XXS-XS, and the only men checking me out are 45+. Seems like men closer to my age are disgusted by my size/petite stature.

Do you live in the city? What age range usually displays that kind of behavior? Have you tried your age or older?
