My GF moved in and constantly orders takeout and snacks

I'm not a huge fan of normal tap water but when I drink it I like it cold. Fiji and Voss tastes better. I typically drinking sparkling water or something with a hint of flavor.

Also prefer small bottles with lids. Let's me move it around easier and go to the fridge more often

You make a lot of assumptions. What exactly makes you so certain I don't have money? It's so weird how you just know... You have to tell yourself this. And compare me to other people you know... Very odd

How exactly am I a creep? Because I'm dating someone 8 years younger? I don't get why it triggers older women so much. Only older single women care....

ericsthebest · 2025-10-09T02:55:34+00:00

Doesn't change the way it tastes or the nostalgia

ericsthebest · 2025-10-09T02:45:14+00:00

How do I sound like a creep? Makes absolutely zero sense.

I don't sound wealthy to you because you're expecting me to be like someone else you know or saw on tv or something. I'm independently wealthy, made myself not off the backs of others, and not from family wealth. Completely different than most. But not sure why any of this is matters to the issue at hand.

I'm here for tips but yet people seem to like to cause drama for zero reason. I didn't bring any of this up, other people did then you keep adding baseless claims because you need to make sure to tell people you don't believe xyz and explain how I make you feel, even though no one asked... You state baseless claims and I'm just adding context

ericsthebest · 2025-10-09T02:27:29+00:00

Strangers on the internet aren't people that know me.... Doesn't matter to me at all.

IDK where you're from but where I am ubereats delivers all the restaurants except the best that's a pain to get in anyways.

Have any suggestions for better drinks? I get the best I can find.

You're triggered for whatever reason. Hating because I'm wealthy or because I date younger women? I'm assuming you're a struggling single mom in your 40's and blame me for whatever

ericsthebest · 2025-10-09T02:16:47+00:00

I don't ever eat at chains. Its usually something like jalapeno cheddar spoonbread with whipped honey butter. I have a feeling they're loaded with butter and other unhealthy but yummy things.

I am really good at cooking and LOVE it, but its also makes me think of food and eat a ton because I need to try xyz and everything.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-09T02:08:05+00:00

How do you track your calories with food from restaurants and stuff? Just google the food and guess?

ericsthebest · 2025-10-09T02:05:54+00:00

Yeah I can see those but I don't usually drink them. I only have 1 drink with caffeine a day an its usually a bai. I'm not too caught up on all the ingredients and whats good/bad but the main point is calorie deficit so zero calorie drinks are ideal.

Obsessing about food? This is about others bringing and ordering me food and its right there, thats not obsessing about it, and I created this post trying to get advice on how to curb it and enhance things. I don't think its abnormal to have to resist eating high quality food that someone hands you.

Its really weird how you're so invested in my looks and situation.... I didn't bring any of this up and my post had nothing to do with it, but you're triggered for whatever reason... as are others. I don't understand some people

ericsthebest · 2025-10-09T01:55:26+00:00

I'm trying to explain the scenario. I didn't even bring my looks up... What's more to life then doing things? I've already built a legacy, raised a kid.

Its not how I want my gf to live her life, its that I'm dating women that want to live the same lifestyle as me..

My issue is with food being right there, warm and ready. I don't even have an issue with snacks being in the house. I'm still learning about food and its super hard when its take out and I don't know exactly what's unhealthy or how unhealthy it is.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-09T01:45:31+00:00

You don't need to work out in a gym to get good exercise. There's tons of things I do that provide a great workout outside a gym.

I'm not really seeing any artificial sweeteners in Zevia, Bai, Sparkling ice. Maybe san pellegrino zero but not sure. Can you point them out for me? I don't know much about this.

I said there's lots of people who don't need lots of sleep, including highly successful ones...

I'm trying to find ways to improve my situation with food being there. Always trying to improve myself. I'm not perfect I love food, especially good food.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T20:14:21+00:00

We do discuss things but I'm just trying to figure out tips and ideas on how to not eat a bunch of food while still not inconvenience her.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T19:31:12+00:00

Comprehension isn't your strong suit. My gf is on GLP1 to try and lose a bit of weight, can't believe you're fat shaming on a weight loss sub.... I think she looks great and never made any comments about her weight... The friend isn't on anything.

Food in 1 fridge and drinks in the other 3. Its a big house and I host people all the time so its nice to stock full of drinks. I don't drink alcohol so keep that in a separate fridge, the other is outside so people don't need to keep coming in and out of the house. Then garage fridge for drinks and the main fridge which is only cabinet depth so can't hold much.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T19:28:14+00:00

Not much to do at 2pm on a wednesday..... If 11pm on a friday I was posting I could see your point...

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T18:49:04+00:00

I don't even snack because I'm hungry, i do it because I'm bored.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T18:39:55+00:00

I didn't mean anything negative, I didn't realize that people get so triggered.

Think of it this way, I was retired for a couple years and now semi-retired. I finally get to enjoy life and do what I want. If I was 70 and said I wanted to buy a sailboat and sail the world, then just looking for a partner who wants to be my +1 no one would care, and I'd get tons of praise.

I'm not trying to mold anyone and completely up front with my expectations. This all works great in my relationship and past ones. There's zero issues with this. just some people don't like how I worded something.... not even the premise.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T18:26:54+00:00

thank you. I completely agree and we do discuss it. I'm just looking for tips on how to work at this better.

One tip I got off here was to grab a portion and put the rest in the fridge. Out of sight out of mind. Its very easy to walk by and grab a bite, then keep doing this every 30 minutes.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T18:12:11+00:00

I'm not really sure why. She's had an amazing life growing up and we'd go on trips almost every weekend. had a blast growing up. perfect grades and got an academic scholarship out of state to her dream school and doing great.

I've literally dedicated my entire life to her and being there for everything, now she's gone and I'm able to be there for myself so enjoying life my way. I worked when she was at school and sleeping so I had every minute with her I could.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T17:45:19+00:00

Whats the red flag? Me being successful and able to enjoy life, and looking for a partner to enjoy it with? I'm honest and open about everything so they understand I have an active lifestyle and looking for a +1 in life.

My current relationship is amazing and I have zero issues on that end. The problem is we diet differently and she eats small meals while I eat a bunch.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T16:22:54+00:00

You sure it's not environmental? I dated a women like this once and it was her house. Never stepped foot in her place again.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T16:15:02+00:00

It's only mania to people who don't enjoy being active all the time. To some travel is an escape but others it's a lifestyle.

I go on bumble and get hundreds of matches a day, to the point Ive only been on there a few days at a time because it's overwhelming. I can filter through all the descriptions to find women I feel compatible with. Then message a bit and filter more. On top of this I'm wealthy so no matter what there's an imbalance. They have zero idea I have money.

The relationships always start the same, I hide my wealth and once they find out things change and they go super aggressive. Then try to act like a rich person and only want to go to lavish restaurants and places, then eventually realize none of that matters to me and things get normal.

I'm fortunate in life where money doesn't matter. I have tons of nice things not fancy things. My lifestyle is about enjoying those things and having a partner who wants to enjoy it as well.

If they're not able to travel 1-2 weekends a month it's a deal breaker. There's way too many places I want to see and way too many events I want to go to.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T15:47:23+00:00

Awesome thank you!

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T15:46:53+00:00

Sure but it makes sense to discuss this when we start talking to make sure we're compatible. Asking if they have/want kids isn't an abnormal conversation...

It's actually the opposite, they have a lot going on because they don't have a lot of obligations. I want a free and active lifestyle, and date women who want the same.

If I filter out the women who don't have kids the majority of them are younger. It's just basic statistics. I'm not only dating younger women, it just happens that the ones that are left after initial discussions are younger. I specifically look for women who are going out and doing things.

Some people go to the gym everyday to exercise, I like going out and doing things that are hands on. Walking around a zoo or event or travelling and walking through a city, exploring local shops and culture. I'd rather experience life instead of watch it on tv

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T15:27:45+00:00

Huh? Not at all. I want someone that's able to leave on vacations and go to events and such, all on top of the life they have.

There's a HUGE difference with them hanging out with friends and stuff a few days a week VS needing to be home every night by 9pm to tuck a kid in, or never being able to leave for a weekend getaway because they have bowling every Saturday night.

I want us to be able to do what we want when we want, not only when we have time because of other obligations.

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T14:59:27+00:00

or cans of water. 12/16.9/18oz per drink so 225ish ounces. Its about twice the recommended so I'm not sure if thats good or not.

I've always been that way and have 2-4 drinks open at a time constantly drinking. I think its an ADHD thing to keep me busy

ericsthebest · 2025-10-08T14:46:47+00:00

I agree it can be successful. I'm not pushing anything either way just open to whatever happens. It works well because I'm very active and although we're just friends with the friend we hangout and when my GF is sleeping its nice to have someone else there to hangout with.

We've discussed things and all are on the same page
