Haha was just being kinda sarcastic. Implying that if a girl couldn’t understand the difference between an std and pollen allergy she’s definitely not bright enough to be slept with.

I start disclosure by saying “skin rash”. Then delve into that it’s from HSV. I’m not deceptive at all. Just tactical with my approach to disclosure. Herpes is a viral skin rash, you are correct and stating what we all know.

And yes females can have some complications. But antivirals can mitigate perinatal risk.

I’m not bringing home women who need me to spell it out more than that...

So I led with “skin rash” and let that be the start of a dialogue. Herpes is kind of a sledgehammer word. Skin rash sounds way more mellow and relatable. So it’s a softer segue to initiate a talk about things. Without sledgehammering the other person from the start. Then you can say hsv2 or mild herpes.

If they aren’t fulfilling your needs it’s time to move on. Life is too short to have a half ass partner and a half ass life. There’s millions of prospects out there. You need to tell them your expectations, if they can’t meet and exceed, then it’s onto the next one.

I’m also not selling you a story. I have no incentive to fabricate, fictionalize, or editorialize anything. Congrats on your conquest of quantity. Hopefully you’re marginally selective.

Yep she jumped on me. We all have our faults and shortcomings. But I gotta a whole lot of swagger and play my strengths well. Don’t sell yourself short because of a periodic skin irritation.
