Thank you all for sharing your writing with us over the years. I haven’t been a regular on the site for probably a year now (I’m old-sue me), but I can honestly say I’ve met 20 of my best friends here. People I’ve talked to day in and day out on GroupMe for over two years now. People I’ve been on two official #PGPVacays and countless trips with (only one orgy tho), watched get engaged, and both cried and celebrated with as life happens.
I never would have guessed that’s what I’d find here when I woke up that fateful day after Cinco de Mayo to a plethora of aggressive dating app openers and created my account. But I did. And for that, I’m truly grateful. Best of luck to all in your future endeavors.
This weekend was the second annual PGP friends vacation. I won’t name names to protect the not-so-innocent but I am shocked not to see a submission involving sex in a dining room and a trip to the pharmacy the next day.
There are a lot of different interactions that can end up in a relationship so if you’re not into overanalyzing a label, that’s totally fine. And a ton of people in the comments have hit on the idea of intention, and mutual intention, making something a date. But I think it goes a little further in that a true date makes you vulnerable. You’re opening yourself up to rejection.
A real date is a risk. If you get rejected, it sucks. But if it works out, you have all of the opportunity in the world. Not sure the same is really true for the other scenarios described. They’re lower risk but no reward if you’re actively trying to pursue a relationship. If all you’re looking for is to be alone together with another person, than you’re fine. Totally valid life choice. But in my experience, that’s not how people typically define why they date.
I’ve come around on dating through the holidays. I used to think Nov-Dec was for taking a break and focusing on family/friend/work occasions. But it’s kind of nice to date casually during that time and pick it back up more seriously in January. I didn’t get my current guy a Christmas present or spend New Year’s with him, but it’s really picked up and feel like we’ll DTR by February.
See, you think this is the case but WFH days for me (like today) just end up being “answer emails but nothing else” days. I’d be so unproductive if I did this more often than I do.
I always use thanks or thank you, and I use an exclamation point probably 70% of the time. Its especially rewarding when I’m verbally abusing someone and then pop it in there all passive-agressive like.
My family group chat is mostly pictures of my nephews, me getting roasted for being old, single and unlovable, and my dad sending out his fits for group approval.
Well I wasn’t saying that you needed to have a trophy wife. But go to a salad place for lunch on a weekday and tell me there isn’t one table of “lunching ladies” who just came from tennis and are decked in Lulu. Definitely a market for it.

Now having met him, I can confirm that Derek doesn’t even have enough game to have other people sex on top of his leg. This was a total fluke.

I just poured some wine at 3 pm. Happy HTX is frozen day.
I keep trying to get IWishIWasSober to sup you for me, but she keeps refusing. So sup? I miss you.

Counterpoint: the meaning of “live your best life” is in fact your entire last paragraph
Thank God there were no guns at the PGP vacation orgy.

She’s a trophy wife, plain and simple.
She’s getting engaged on Thanksgiving now. She should have booked Wednesdays.
Haha, it’s fine! Above all else, I never want someone who doesn’t want me.
I used a letter text to profess my feelings and got met with “you’ll find another guy who makes you feel that way.” So that was fun.
And Alex is hot without having to try (hot mess)
