A2Jennifer comments on Feb 9, 2019:

Maybe this is semantics but “Make sure that” sounds like pushing for it. And if they only do it because you’re pressing, it doesn’t say much about their commitment. I would definitely consider it a red flag, though, if they had not introduced me to anyone in their life after a few months.

Have you gone on a date with someone you met on this site?

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 8, 2019:

Surprised there are that many yesses. Of course, all the “yes”es will answer the poll and most of the “no”s won’t.

So all you really smart economists out there , why wouldn't it work to use the subsidies that now go...

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 8, 2019:

Because that’s not what they pay off politicians for

What's the one line that made red flags pop up and your brain say... "deal breaker"?

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 8, 2019:

“But you could change who you are for me since you don’t even know me, right?” Hard pass.

I can't believe this! A woman that I have gone out with on approximately 6 or seven dates in the the...

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 8, 2019:

Yeah that’s dating. It’s not necessarily “in a relationship” but going on a series of dates is, indeed, dating.

Here is an idea for the ladies.

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 8, 2019:

That seems quite manipulative to me. and I would not expect a decent guy to follow up if he’s politely rebuffed.

.

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 8, 2019:

It’s tricky though. In mixed gender groups, girls are often ignored because they aren’t as loud and assertive as boys, so there’s value in having some spaces reserved for girls. But this issue is coming up now at Harvard - the university banned gender-restricted groups. Because traditionally men-only groups (like white-only groups) are places where power is shared and excluding people by race or gender keeps them out of the power loop. But you can’t have it both ways - you can’t have “women only” spaces but ban “men only” spaces.

I had a female friend tell me about the stages of dating many years ago.

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 7, 2019:

Huh. I seem to have skipped from 1 to 4.

I am not listening to State of Union Address.

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 6, 2019:

Yeah I just can’t listen to that guy. It makes me angry.

I have not completely recovered from abuse.

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 6, 2019:

I have been divorced, my ex completely out of my life, for more than 3 years. I still think about him every day. I am still recovering from his abuse. I wish I could just put it behind me but, healing is a process.

my cat golde just died.

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 5, 2019:

Oh, I am so very sorry for your loss. My dad says that the worst thing about cats is that they don’t live as long as people. It’s so hard to lose them. Take care of yourself while you heal.

He’s free to say it. And the rest of us are free to think he’s a despicable piece of shit who shouldn’t have a career in entertainment anymore.

The weather is interesting where I am. How do you feel about ice?

Has anyone else experienced a Hoover: attempt to suck you back into toxicity using pity, guilt, ...

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 3, 2019:

Yep. After our divorce, I let my ex stay with me for a while because of a crisis that, in hindsight, I’m sure was not real. After he broke into my safe and robbed me of hundreds of dollars, I finally knew I was done. I kicked him out. He begged me to give him one more chance (because the first 1003 chances weren’t enough). He threatened suicide, he threatened to make some kind of false report to sic the police on me. Mostly he threatened because he had nothing to offer me.

Why do I always seem to fall into the trap of trying my hardest to make my “special friend” feel...

A2Jennifer comments on Feb 2, 2019:

Run. RUN. RUN!!! A person who expects you to be all about meeting their needs and doesn’t care about your needs or well-being is TOXIC and in many cases this is indicative of narcissistic abuse. You remember what it was like at the beginning, when they made you feel special and loved. you will always be working to get back that feeling, but they will always hold it just out of reach. It will never be enough. It won’t get better. There is no persuading this person that they should care about your needs or feelings. Get out the nearest door or window and don’t look back.

It’s really not a “dating” site. It’s a community where you might seek and encounter people who are potential partners.

The worst argument I've heard in a long time.

That’s some mental gymnastics there - acknowledging that you played a role with the left brain while refusing responsibility for it with the right.

A2Jennifer comments on Jan 28, 2019:

The Venn diagram of guys who complain about being “friend-zoned” and guys who complain that women don’t like “nice guys” is a circle. These are men who are “nice” to women (read, polite or not outwardly aggressive) because they think that entitled them to sex.

Change can be a bitch can't it?

A2Jennifer comments on Jan 27, 2019:

Seems like more petty control crap. If they can’t objectify women they don’t want to have to work with them. Or “teach them a lesson” for standing up for themselves by withholding the ticket to the boys club.

Do you support Nancy Pelosi?

A2Jennifer comments on Jan 27, 2019:

I am a much bigger fan of Nancy Pelosi now that she put the big orange baby in his place just once.

I have seen this happen more than once.

A2Jennifer comments on Jan 25, 2019:

After a REALLY bad marriage, that is not a goal for me. I might consider it if the right person asked. but I would much rather be in a stable loving non-marriage or, for that matter, single, than ever be in a bad marriage again.

Signs of scamming: bad English grammar, spelling and i capitalization.

A2Jennifer comments on Jan 23, 2019:

I tend to assume the same, and have experienced that specific set of things - attractive white male in picture, raised in Midwest, Bachelor’s degree, can’t write 2 sentences in decent English = SCAMMER. I am more forgiving if it appears to be a typing error than an “I don’t know English grammar” error. But frequent drinkers are not a good fit for me anyway so I’m ok if I accidentally eliminate someone on that count.

Apologies if the below is too authentic.

A2Jennifer comments on Jan 15, 2019:

Yes, sometimes women withhold sex as punishment or control - it’s petty and passive aggressive and harmful. Other times their partner stops putting in the effort that women require to get into the mood. Men use sex to feel close, women need to feel close to have sex (as a broad generality). And that’s not even the physical prep. If men made the same effort for their wife that they make for their mistress, the wife would probably want to have sex too.
