Thank you! It's very silly

AND because he's being goaded into it by a group, which is a big factor

Just read this and agree with every word. It reminds me of when we were teenagers, there would always be the guy who would drink piss or eat a worm at a party. Technically he was doing it of his own free will but not because he likes piss or worms, because he likes being "that guy"

It's pure attention seeking behaviour, it's really pathetic

Came early to the gym to avoid them today and there's more of them! And they're clogging up all the arm weights because they can't be bothered to do cardio

Yes! All of those things. There was a guy on a weight machine dropping the weights so they crash each time and acting like a big man. Dude, you're clearly lifting weights too heavy for you if you're not able to lower them with any control

I know, it serves them right. Not true in every case at all but women who date significantly older are often compromising on physical attractiveness in exchange for money. I don't know why they can't see that

Totally!
January 11, 2025 at 12:32 PM
Exactly. And if I didn't pay my fair share (which of course I did) they'd be well within their rights to end the date and go home

Absolutely mad

And the less said the better about the filthy old 49-year-old man who tried to match with the 19-year-old and was upset that she wanted him to sign up to her onlyfans

I've dated a couple of very wealthy men and the first date was always a pint at the local pub

Don't get me wrong, there are some absolutely vile, manipulative women out there but honestly you're setting yourself up to get burnt if your type is "young and hot" and what you have to offer is money

A first date can just be a nice walk round a park! You don't need to get stuck with a big dinner bill that a woman won't split with you
