My dad wont get Facebook because he thinks someone will steal his identity so I don’t have to worry about this, but that also means I still get dirty/racist text message forwards from eight years ago from him.
These are my thoughts exactly. I always offer to pay for myself on a first date because I don’t want the guy to think I just want a free meal if it’s going nowhere, and I think it’s the courteous thing to do. However, what their response is to my offer is what my impression of them is going to be. I once went out with a guy who told me ahead of time that he splits the check on the first date and I still went. But my impression of him was pretty accurate. I am a feminist but that doesn’t mean that the guys I want to date shouldn’t have some “traditional” qualities when it comes to dating, and the gentlemanly things that Johnny listed are still desirable when you’re on the first few dates. If they don’t want me to help pay the first few dates, I will usually try to at least to buy drinks or pay for an activity at some point when we go out so they know that I appreciate their generosity and am willing to contribute.
You guys picture a gay Manhattan couple and don’t immediately assume they love antiques, Broadway, expensive real estate, rubbing elbows with classic actors, and have signature looks?
Maybe I have seen Sex and the City too many times or have enough gay friends to feel like this is spot on, but this is the absolute best marriage announcement I have ever read.
To build off of what Rachel and Best said:
Please write something. Having nothing in your bio says that you don’t care or are depending solely on your looks which is bold but may send the wrong message.
Also, please post more than one or two pictures where we can clearly see what you look like. Almost every guy has a picture of themselves at a wedding, playing golf, at a professional sporting event, and at a bar, which is fine, you seem normal, but it doesn’t really set you apart which is why we can’t think of something more to say than “hey”
Seriously. I live in the Midwest so none of the basic profiles sound like the ones listed in the article but Afterthegame’s is still way better than what I usually read.
This is me but for April. My friends thought I was pulling an April Fool’s joke on them even though I told them before the first. I am an idiot and picked a month that I am hosting a wine party as well has have 10 concerts on the calendar, but the money I will save not buying several $8 dollar Miller Lites at the shows and the calories I will save not drinking them will hopefully be worth it. I survived a sober house party Friday night and it really wasn’t that bad. And I still have my friend Mary Jane to hang with when I’m lonely.
File me under the 7% of Millennials who are totally fine just window shopping for a significant other while I figure the rest of this thing out called “My 20’s”
I became a Belieber (openly, it started long before that) right about the same time. I got a ticket to his show in my city and I have to leave work early to make it on time. My HR director told me she was jealous when she approved my time off request. You’re not alone.
My favorite part of that Xzibit tweet was that her response was “my life is complete” with the cry laughing face emoji.
Twitter you are so weird and I love you for that.
I didn’t start drinking coffee until I was 25 for all the same reasons. Once I started drinking it, like any true addict, I couldn’t ever have one for “just a buzz”- I’d drink it until I would send myself into full on anxiety attacks. Had to give caffeine up completely. I’m much more functional (as well as mentally and emotionally stable) without it and I don’t miss it at all.
Having the Jayhawks in your championship game would disprove your “Don’t pick the ‘what the hell is a'” theory (sparing you a Kansas history lesson, Jayhawks are not a real animal), except that it is completely supported by your reverse vacation theory-you would definitely not go on vacation to Lawrence, Kansas.

Aside from his tea-bag incident in college, I would put Peyton Manning towards the top of the list of people who absolutely do give a fuck.
Wear a t-shirt with a picture of your dog on it?
Phew I was getting worried after reading that

I don’t mind one or two, but I wouldn’t care if it were Brody Jenner’s profile- if the description is just emojis, it’s a no.

I disagree, I will now be negotiating nap rooms into my employment contracts from now on.

I had to lecture my mother about the “you’ll change your mind” phrase a few days ago. Just because I’m capable of having kids doesn’t mean I want to.

I’d say at least a third of the guys’ profiles that I see on Bumble have something about “fluent in sarcasm” written in them. Automatic left swipe.
Nvm I don’t think that helped the psychopath argument
