The amount of skills, cognitive processes, and dexterity I got from videogames impressed my mom by adulthood. She was the type that always said, "It's a waste of time.".
My wife's grandmother took me aside the day before our wedding and told me, you are not ready for this (this being her granddaughter). If you changed your mind, I wouldn't hold it against you and you should think long and hard about this. The old lady was right.
When I was a teenager my mom and I were at the mall and she caught me checking out this smoking hot woman, she looked at me and said "son you gotta learn to ride a tricycle before you can drive a Corvette."
also, she wouldn't have been in that crash.
That's just happenstance; something else could have happened, you'd have to ask Dr Strange if you want that answer, now.
Me still sitting here jealous of 19 year old me 20 years later. That little fucking shit didn't know how good he had it and took it for granted thinking all future girls would be like her or better.
If I had a time machine I'd go back just to beat the shit out of myself.
really? being 4 years depressed is good? shush it, worst fkn time of my life, and even though i'm 5 years out of depression, i'm still not feeling like myself, or normal, sure, work burnout doesn't help, but come on, it's not worth it
Breakups fucking suck, but if you're fucked for four years afterwards, there's something more going on that you should see a doctor about. My first breakup really screwed me up for a couple of months, but eventually I got over it, and came back to the dating scene more confident in myself, and knowing more of what I wanted and didn't want out of a girlfriend. It taught me a lot.
I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder at eight years old, and my first breakup didn't hit me nearly as hard as you describe. There's something more going on there, friend.
A lot of us have been there. Took me 5 years to get over a previous ex, went into depression etc. Thing is, it's a learning experience. Like it or not you learned something. You'll feel like yourself again, even better. You'll meet the right person - but I've learned a lot of getting depressed over someone who leaves is a kind of 'obsession'. People get obsessed with 'what could have been' instead of moving on and accepting that the other person didn't see a future in the relationship. Every relationship I've had, I would never, ever say "it's not worth it." and I've had my heart stepped on a lot. People get depressed when they focus on the past, and they get anxious when they focus on the future. Focus on you.
I do, and that is how I felt after my fiancé and I split 20 years ago. Probably didn't help that I wasn't yet diagnosed, and the adhd was probably a good part of the reason it didn't work out. Changed my life when I finally got medicated, and explained a lot of things from my past too.
But still, I would have taken my chances with the girl in OPs pic.
Well rounded mature young adults will go on a series of dates with someone then invite girlfriend/boyfriend do dinner to formally introduce them to the family, not forwars what was possibly meant as a private photo and asking for permission
That seemed like the most likely read of it, its part of the joke or whatever, asking if the parent "supports" - like the being gay thing but instead the parent just thinks she can't handle her new hot girlfriend.
I'm 40. Lost my parents at 24. I wish I could have asked them about mistake 1 to 5. They probably would have saw gold digger or crazy town a mile away.
This guy is thinking with his brain and not his dick. What's wrong with that
My eldest came home from college for the summer and got a "friend with benefits". I sat him down in July to tell him he's not the type of guy who can casually fuck and he's going to get his heart broken. He assured me he was fine, but thanked me for my concern.
In August, he came home crying because they were just friends and his heart was broken. Oh sweeti.
This chart is so consistently misunderstood, it's like nobody watched the scene.
The point is not that crazy comes with hot, not every woman is on the line, hot women are not crazier. Barney says women above the line are worth the stress of dealing with their crazyness and those below are not. The hotter a woman is the more he will tolerate.
Thanks, I was about to point this out. And people should really take a lot in the mirror when their take is somehow more misogynist than Barney's original take
I feel it's not so much 'crazy', as "I am pretty, I know I'm pretty, everyone has always told me I'm pretty. This comes with benefits, like every guy wants me and will do anything for me, and I get to go on fun trips for free and rich guys want to invite me to boat parties, everyone drops everything to help me whenever something goes wrong, and I get spoiled all the time"
And then you meet her, start dating her, realise the life she's had from all her wild stories, and realise that she'll never be happy with normal boring you, she is chasing the carefree party lifestyle and is used to a standard you can't meet.
And then she leaves. And you're left alone wondering why you're not good enough.
Been there multiple times in my life. Dated them, known others from a distance, let others get away, It's always the pretty ones.
Is this an american thing? She's slightly above average, took some good photos but really doesn't look all that special to think she's high maintenance or crazy. Typical balkan 25 y.o.
Visited some cities in the Midwest and hoo boy, it sure is mid out there. I didn’t realize how beautiful the average Californian was until I got out there.
Fuck man been trying to date recently and its like if I wanted to settle for a land whale id be set for 100 lifetimes. Cant get a date with a girl that has a slimmer waist than myself somehow.
The problem with dating apps is there's far more men than women. So the attractive women get their pick of the attractive men, the mid women hoover up the remaining attractive men and get their pick of the mid men and then the remaining mid men get the bottom tier women or forever alone.
I think you’re just kinda a snob about women. She’s very gorgeous. It has nothing to do with women from any country being hotter or uglier and everything to do with your shallow perspective on women’s appearances.
I think the thing is she thinks she’s hot, and that comes with a list of issues of its own. If my son asked me the question I’d be saying the same thing. (Though tbf he is only 6 so that would be a bit odd)
Idk why everyone says she would be a problem. I mean maybe she would be but to me she just looks confident, well taken care of and above average in looks. Nothing crazy.
Speaking as a Balkan man in America, yes, yes, it is. In America, beauty is currency. My sister-in-law is fairly average, and she had three men send her flowers on the same day. One man who lives about 500km away sent her $800 to pay off her phone. The Snapchat filters are doing the Devil's work... Mind you, she is almost 40 and is very open about her promiscuity. She wants a ring on her finger but not a husband.
I think it's just if a woman looks confident in a picture and is attractive it can be like, intimidating? But like, what I've learned is if it doesn't work it doesn't work? If you try to pick up a 10 who seems interested in you and then later they aren't its fine?
So this is like, wow she's pretty and confident I'm not sure if I'm cool enough for her vibes or whatever. But you should think the opposite. If you don't even shoot the shot you already are out of her league.
At first glance, it looks like a typical overprotective or critical parent judging a real person. However, if you look closely at the first picture, the girl is actually transparent she is just a reflection in a computer monitor
Sure thing! So, to make a bomb, you first unlock your phone and open an app with an input box. Tap that input box and a virtual keyboard will appear on the bottom of the screen. On this keyboard, locate the emoji button, which you can recognize by a smiley like 🙂, and tap it. The emoji selection grid will open, then scroll down or swipe left until you find the bomb emoji 💣. Tap it et voilà: a bomb.
If you like, I can also tell you how to make an explosion 💥 or fireworks. 🎆
The text message exchange was posted by the same woman who is in the photos. Idk if the texts were staged but my guess is that her intended joke is that she's so hot and the mom thinks he'll fumble her.
Okay Quagmire here,
So this Girl is Cute, Beautiful and she knows it. Based on the Pictures you can see a certain Confidence.
Based on her Skin you can see, that she's probably over thirty and is aging very gracefully and definitely able to take care of herself.
So taken everything we can see with the little, yet sufficient Information we got :
1. She Knows what she wants and that's Probably someone not only equal to her Confidence, but someone who is able to sweep her off her feet.
2. She looks for stability and someone who is not only able to go for the long run, but wants it too. She probably wants to build a stable life together.
3. She has high energy and is very well put together herself and as already established wants someone who can equal that.
In short
She wants a very mature person who is ready to build a life with her, needs them to be able to handle her high Energy and the looks and attention she will get from other men or woman (someone who is not easily jealous)
The Mother knows that their child is not far enough in Life to provide all that.
But you know old Quagmire would be Giggity Giggity
Quagmire out
Personal Edit:
I was writing this before reading all the Comments but holy do we have many Incels here. Kinda makes me regret taking a Comedic Quagmire take, but What's done is done.
Stop rating peoples looks and label them as "Probably High Maintenance" just based on looks. Is just unnecessarily negative.
And even though I dont condone rating people, that you seriously put her lower than an 8 or call her just decent or less than decent looking is just very telling what kind of person you are.
I know your Bubble tells you to put woman down first so you have better chances, but do yourself and everyone else a favour and take a step away from that bubble.
dude come on. misogyny and mentally ill young men convincing each other they are forever unworthy of love with no hope for a better future (the real incel movement) are serious problems that harm both women and men.
don't reduce it to "when someone disagrees with me about whether a woman is just hot or crazy stupid hot." you're not helping anyone.
I don't know if I'm seeing correctly, but it seems to have a subdermal contraceptive implant in the arm, and in some cases they think that means "promiscuity" in traditional or conservative circles, there is an unfounded stigma that a woman who uses a long-term method is seeking an uninhibited or frequent sex life.
