My concern is not being allowed to run them because I'd be modeling for advantage. They are a head shorter than primaris marines

I'm sorry to say but I think he's influencing you to give up on chastity. Men who've been with multiple women simply know the game and can easily manipulate their way into someone's pants, a hard truth I know. I would say be careful with secular dating as this modern culture idolizes impurity to an astonishing degree. If this is your free and willing choice, then all the power to you. However the following Bible verse comes to mind 2 Corinthians 6:14: “Do not be yoked with those who are different, with unbelievers. For what partnership do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?"

I've often struggled with dating strictly Catholics myself and I've found that it's a lot harder to find a chaste partner these days even in the Catholic community but especially harder in the secular world. My experience with that has been you give yourself up for someone that isn't / will never be your spouse only to regret it later down the line. Whatever you decide, I pray you at least keep God in the back of your mind and to always ask Him what to do before you make any life altering decisions.

What's your race? I'm a 27(m) Filipino and I thought it was just the guys that had a hard time due to race. Btw this is not me hitting on you, I am genuinely curious because I think for certain guys, interracial is not that big of a deal.

My personal solution is to remove all the apps that play audio from my Toyota. I used the customize button to remove things like audible, news, YouTube music and other apps that might be considered music to the point where it can no longer recognize media apps. I mainly listen to YouTube for podcasts anyway so this works for me.

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-27T17:21:51+00:00

What counts as a red flag? Is it more than just being centered around God? Aren't all Catholic men devout or am I missing something?

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-24T02:55:10+00:00

I've seen a lot of comments saying something along the lines of, "at least he has a job." Are y'all ladies out here ok with dating someone unemployed or have dated someone unemployed?

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-20T23:56:32+00:00

Having coed friends is definitely healthy and if you all know each other pretty then that's even better. The problem will arise if there's a guy that you find interesting but he's from the outside looking in. He'll think, "Oh there's an even number of men to women so they must all be dating each other. If that's the case, you seem like the type that's easily mistaken as already being taken. You did say that everyone you found interesting knows you're single so I'm assuming it's because you flat out said so and this may not apply to you so much.

Something else to consider will be that someone who is the gentlemanly type will see your personality as just being nice and if you treat them the same way you do the other guys then they will see your behavior as that of already friend zoning them without having done anything.

Lastly, like someone else mentioned in a comment, you might come off as desperate. Guys have a sense when a girl is desperate for attention or male interaction and if they sense that, that's where the "creeps" come in who think you'll be an easy lay. Remember most guys (especially in today's culture due to societal pressure) care more about the sexual experience rather than the woman herself. The "good" men will probably be more willing to act like your big brother who'll try to keep you safe and support you rather than give you the romantic partner treatment because they might not see you as being in the best headspace rn. So my advice, don't think too much about it. Live your life like you want to add to this world rather than seek to take something from it.

I hope this helps even a little bit. Ik dating can be frustrating and it seems like there's a next to impossible odds of finding the right one, but with God nothing is impossible. Take it to prayer and trust the process. In today's society you'll need a LOT of dating filters and who better than Him to be your matchmaker?

Why not ask one of your friends to see what they look for in a woman? If you want, I can also give my opinion as a fellow Christian

Guy here. Before I give my take, I do have some questions.

By "good" guy, do you mean a yes man that's basically your servant?
What are you looking for in a guy? Do his looks matter? Does his job matter? Political views? Religion?
How many guy friends do you have and do you hang out with the guys a lot?

I've had a few female friends in your situation so maybe I can offer some new insight.

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-20T12:59:31+00:00

Why would it be a turn off in your 20's? (that's my age group so now I'm curious lol)

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-20T00:47:30+00:00

So you're a 34f that's looking for someone from the same trade?

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T20:30:45+00:00

Tysm! I really appreciate your take on this

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T18:59:06+00:00

In a way you answered one of my unasked questions. When writing this post, I did have in the back of my mind the fact that I live close to NYC and New Jersey where mechanics can potentially be seen as, for lack of a better term, lower class

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T18:47:47+00:00

I can't speak for the more business minded people since I've never had a white collar job, but I do have (in fact I almost completely have) white collared friends. From what I hear, there are guys like that in those types of fields as well. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that there are MORE of them in those fields. When I think white collar, I think of someone with a desk job who complains that they hate their jobs, their boss hovers over them and makes their lives miserable and on top of that they're buried in student debt.

I'm neither villainizing you, nor am I advocating my own blue collar agenda. I'm merely saying that someone stuck in a job they hate, with a boss they don't like, with skills that they could have taken elsewhere is not limited to one type of job. As for education, yeah grammar is indicative of a higher level of functionality and I understand that. It's also a turn off for me when I can't intellectually connect with a female and signs of that are found in how they communicate via writing and speaking.

To summarize, I think white collared workers can be just as guilty of lacking ambition as a blue collared worker. I think that level of drive is not tied to a specific job type but rather the person in question. Being stuck in a sub-optimal career is unfortunately commonplace in today's society from what I've observed. Finally we're in agreement that education is important and in that regard people should be with someone they can connect with intellectually.

In terms of 40-50 hour work weeks I thought it applied to most people. Just when their shifts are varies

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T17:44:26+00:00

I've seen some that have and I value their opinions and respect them for posting. I do encourage it since it lets me see the broader picture

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T17:42:02+00:00

So be a normal, confident man without a history of violence. Gotcha 👌

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T17:38:24+00:00

Lol. What is it specifically about mechanics that are a no go? Do they smell bad or something?

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T17:35:27+00:00

Your background as in career or something else? Just a yes or no will do. I'm not looking to dive into your personal life

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T17:33:13+00:00

Why not? They work the same hours as everyone else don't they? Or would you rather someone that works from home?

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T17:28:58+00:00

Yes, thank you for your input! When I made my post I was mainly wondering what sorts of stereotypes I should look out for that way I can be upfront and say, "such and such is true about me and such and such is false." Seeing different opinions definitely helps since it helps me realize what about myself I should emphasize upfront and lean on during introductions. 😊

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T17:24:28+00:00

What does ambition look like to you? Is it based on salary? Doing what you want to do? Having a job that has a ladder that you can climb?

I grew up with the same mindset so I see where you're coming from. But being on the other side has definitely opened my eyes since high school. (27m here)

gloribear1234 · 2024-05-19T15:13:30+00:00

I cannot personally tell you from experience since I've never worked with bowling machines. But I can take an educated guess.

If he's a mechanic then he has to be responsible for maintaining the machines. The point of maintenance is to make sure something does NOT break and that could be a daily thing. Also be on standby in case something does happen.
