It is the worst. A guy I went out with made sure I saw that he was looking at his okc app when I came back from the bathroom. Another told me, after I asked how his day was, that it was long and that stress made him very horny. Another told me he was terrible at making out, asked if I wanted to see how terrible, then…

Every fucking part of me is tired today. It seems like no one can just damn listen when someone is saying what is bothering them or what life is like in their body with their choices at this moment. It becomes a competition of, well this person said this shitty thing to me! People tell you you will never know love and…

Add to that. Any man who says he respects women, unless in a very specific conversation, doesn’t. Also, a guy who wants to hook up who says, I will respect your boundaries, in my experience, invariably doesn’t. If you gotta pronounce it, it isn’t true.

Because Harry loved her the way she was. And he wasn’t terrible like Steve or witholding like Big. Harry was the best.

I get that, but I always found it so frustrating when I would message someone who matched with me and they wouldn’t message back. I’d wonder what the hell. Pebbles, small but stinging when they hit my self esteem. Reconsider how you reassure yourself. It could be harming others, even if just a little bit.

Same! Except no cancelling. Just... nothing...

Damn. I usually just figure they decided I am not cute enough or too opinionated. I may try your tack.

I don’t care about feedback, though I can see where it might be handy. I just want a polite, thanks but I’m not feeling it. That should be easy peasy.

Dating is awful. I just got struck by the third date curse again. Cannot figure out why he ghosted. As in, when we said goodbye he was affectionate and we were kissing and all, see you soon. Texted a suggestion for meeting up a few days later. Nothing. Texted a brief text a few days after that. Nothing. Ghosting is…

If someone texts and asks, would you like to do something? And you don’t respond, then that’s super rude. To anyone. Not responding once in the negative to an invite is just plain rude. In general. Tell someone no. But if you just never text, that’s different. But given all the ghosters, etc, you cannot tell if…

They should give you the first page on the first date. It should state if they are a ghoster, if they do or do not text daily, etc. The twists you go through trying to figure out if someone is ghosting or just not a big texter is no fun.

As someone who has been on a few sites, it doesn’t seem to matter. They all treat the whole thing like Tinder. To where everything is upside down and you wonder, “how are you existing in this world????”

The 50 year Olds on Tinder aren’t any better than the younger ones...

I get that and I certainly would still fight for Roe. I think my main frustration is how many conversations I’ve had with people who believe that since it is still in place, that abortion is widely available. So it is an all over fight—keep Roe and fight the useless, punitive laws.

I can see that, but states are already introducing bills to punish docs for not showing ultrasounds, etc. I’m possibly more cynical and overdramatic, but I fail to see Roe as anything other than a symbol while protections and access have access ready been destroyed in many states. I can definitely see how it would get…

Thank you for saying that. Roe matters very little. Rather than a direct challenge, anti-choice groups have slowly eroded access through permission slips, waiting periods, ultraounds, etc. And of course, threatening providers. And not many Imedical students learn the procedure. If we don’t fight and fight hard against…

That is so true to life. I’ve had guys want to hook up and I’m not available then they say I’m boring because I’m not on their schedule and ready the exact moment they are. But it doesn’t work the other way around...

Nice. I like that. No knickknacks.

Oh now I’m intrigued. Will check.
