Pros & Cons of having a G/F?

3,189 1,585 March 6, 2025 at 04:09 PM in Chat
Hi guys. I'm been doing online dating (and chat apps) since Aug 2022.

I'm a little down because I have met hundreds of women online but have never met one in person yet.

So I was wondering if we could all get together as a think-tank and come up with reasons (both good and bad) for having a G/F.

It could help cheer me up or make me sad.

If there is little to no success for you on finding someone to date and commit then you'd need to work on yourself ie personal hygiene, social skills, location, weight, hobbies, and the list goes on.
Been there, done that. I usually got the ol' "You're fine just as you are" until it became a litany of criticisms. Whether it was not liking how I dress, what I drive or who I know. My last ex wanted kids (I didn't/don't) but that wasn't enough for her. She also wanted me to be hypocritically religious like her. That was a bridge too far, even if it meant no longer getting some without wearing my hat. Big Grin

I had enough of that nonsense twelve years ago. I've been blissfully single since then.

if I wasn't married, I'd be single for the rest of my life.

Being single is the ultimate SlickDeal unless she makes so much money you don't need to work, in which case you better wife that girl up!

That narrows it down, either his left hand or his right.

Depends on the trailer park. Only the finest lots come with lawns & showy double wide fema trailers like mine.

Wait a minute, are you implying that for a moment you were actually certain about a thread in the Lounge? EEK!
