OT: Online dating?

[Capn'O]

I see that you are into cars. This interests me as I am also an aficionado of fine automobiles. How did that start for you? Please tell me the make and model of your first car.

Good luck and stay safe HW. It's a jungle out there!

A post of mine that Mr.DollarBills disagrees with? I thought I'd never live to see the day.

What I mean by damaged goods is that the woman carries baggage from their previous relationships. It doesn't mean that just because she has a child or children that she is incapable of making a man happy or functioning in a family. But speaking from first hand knowledge there is a lot of crap that a man will have to tolerate in order to make a relationship with a single mom work in the long run.

Honestly?

We all have baggage from previous relationships. Those experiences shape who we are, male, female, whatever. I've dated a person who doesn't have any children and yet it didn't work out between us because she was so messed up from her past experiences that she just couldn't allow anyone to get past the wall that she put up around her feelings. I also dated a woman who had an 8 year old at the time but it didn't work because at that time in my life, I realized that wasn't what I wanted, which sucked because she was and is still a sweetheart of a person, but I couldn't lie to myself or her. Everyone's needs and wants are different.

Regarding dating a single parent, it's a lot to deal with, especially if you don't have children of your own. So that's why I say if it's not an ideal situation for someone, it's 10000% okay to admit that and know what you want from a partner. But I don't agree with calling women who have children from a previous relationship 'damaged goods'. They're human beings, not a piece of property or a thing. When I think of damaged goods I think of some Amazon driver delivering my order with the box crushed, not a woman with a kid. Not every single mother is a mess or even wants a man to be a father to their children. There's levels to this stuff.

Yeah, but it is cool.

Now that I think about it,"damaged goods' is a term that can come across as harsh. I have aunts that are single mothers, but would never call them that to their faces.

I dated a number of females who didn't have children, but were immature and emotionally unstable. And I also dated a single mother who I got along great with, but since I had many issues of my own to deal with things didn't last.

All good brother. That's why we have these conversations, I would be a hypocrite if I say that younger me didn't say similar things that I regret now

Just like you said, it makes it a lot different when you put women who you love in these scenarios and imagine someone talking about them in that way. But now the next part is to extend that to women who you don't know and realize that no one deserves that kind of label. We all have issues. Lord knows I do

Yeah! I wish a guy like Domingo German would have taken classes earlier in his life on how to treat women.

As you get older you will need to kind of accept children as a packaged deal. Trying to meet a woman past 30 with no kids is difficult. Not impossible but difficult.

They exist, but yeah the reality is, most women out there who are 30 and up and single might have children, and dating her just isn't about her, it's also being willing to accept her children as apart of your life if things become serious. That isn't for everyone, and nor should it be because becoming a male figure in a child's life is a serious matter.

I heard Domingo is actually about to make a come back. I hope he and his wife are in a better place emotionally and mentally. He crossed a line that no man should cross, and he's lucky that his wife didn't have anyone in her life that would have taught him a lesson.

[The Lamma]

Really? Wingo using dating sites? What's wrong with hookers?

Wingo's got class. I've posted pics of when he was young and dressed in his Sunday best.



All he needs nowadays is a couple days advanced warning, a big bottle of Hims, a couple aspirins to keep the blood vessels from clogging up and he's good to go...for 2, maybe even 3 hours.

Off topic, but Moo your avi is the shiznit! Blown up a lil here for better viewing. Noyce

If Rougned Odor or Jose Ramirez was his brother in law it would have been over for German.

I don't think this is true anymore. People now get married later and don't have as much kids as they used to. Definitely a lot of single people out there if you put in a little effort.

40 is the new 30.

If you take what falls in your lap from bars or dating apps, yeah, it's probably going to be a divorced one (or somebody already in a relationship) with kids and baggage. But that's usually always the case if you are just waiting on somebody to make all the moves.
