That is adorable!

At least they don't blow a seal easily.

What a disgustingly manipulative creature. I will not find them cute anymore, or visit them at zoos.

I’m with Malucci on this one.

I think if I had a stranger in my bed I'd be sure to lock my phone, even if I normally didn't

She wasn’t a stranger, I had been seeing her for a couple months, even went on a road trip together...

But it does go to show that you never really know someone. And, when someone reveals who they are, pay attention and act accordingly.

They totally deserve it when they're eaten by whales.

Callback to a previous season of this thread - was she Latina?

Either way, thumbs up for handling it how you did.

Im spending the weekend in Baltimore. I seem to have great luck up there on the date/hook up scene. Im checking into a pretty nice Air BnB in Fells Point, an awesome neighborhood on the waterfront with a ton of bars/nightlife. This is supposed to be a work/poker weekend, but I'm fired up on all apps trying to see if the rungood is still there.

nice , gl man, keep us updated!

I think the hot Russian ruined me for other women. I could barely get it up for my FWB on Monday, and now with her out of town I have no motivation to meet any of the prospects who have liked me. I matched and started up convos with two today intending on asking them out for this weekend, then decided not to go out with anyone else unless I really like them. I don't feel much attraction to any of these. Going to hang out with a friend Friday, my brother Saturday and a platonic female friend Sunday.

Just get over robot Russian girl already, she sounds awful.

Nope, Asian.

Not only that, but he’s already put her on a pedestal when he hasn’t slept with her...maybe even hasn’t kissed her. He’s not seeing anyone else either. He’s definitely going to blow it with her, and it’s going to be devastating for him, when it shouldn’t be. He’s literally doing everything wrong for the wrong person because he seeks the validation of people he doesn’t even know, the random guys who see him out with her.

Obv this. Also, I don't want anyone just picking up my phone and going through it. If you don't mind that, good for you.

P.S. fingerprint sensors are the nuts.

What do you like better..

Christmas or Rebound Season?

That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying I'm holding off on meeting other women because I'm hung up on hot Russian chick that I haven't kissed. I'm not waiting on the Russian and have no expectation ever to see her again. What I'm saying is the level of attraction I have for her makes me unmotivated to be with my FWB (who is someone else I've been seeing for two months) or these women who have liked me on apps. These are all women who I wasn't that excited about to begin with or I would have immediately liked them back rather than save them as maybes. In the past, I would have met one or two this weekend just to have something to do, but I'm not feeling like it this week. I feel like waiting for someone who really intrigues me physically (and hopefully matches what I'm looking for long term, but I wouldn't turn down just physically). It's more like the Russian has me not wanting to settle to meet women I'm not attracted to just because they're not unattractive and I'm bored. And I'm not saying I'm looking for models. That's not even my type. My physical type is actually nerdy, shortish (5-5'4), skinny, brunette women who didn't realize how cute they were until young adulthood.

Come on the Gaddy posting in this thread has to be an elaborate troll job, right?

Yes. Got you all!

You’d make a perfect prototypical sugar daddy Gaddy. You should hit up those sites. Sounds like you don’t have the capacity for a traditionally functioning relationship.

You’re placing a ton of value into something that’s not happening because you view this girl as higher status than the girls you can get with on apps. Seems like a win win

I had a traditionally functioning relationship for the past five years that I thought was leading to marriage. A sugar daddy arrangement definitely isn't what I'm looking for long term (you could say my FWB arrangement isn't far off-I don't buy her things but take her out on nice dates and pay for everything), nor what I respect in a woman. What I respected about my ex (who was that cute nerdy type who was valedictorian of her high school, though not as fit as I prefer), was that she was smart and would put in the effort to do anything you put in front of her capably. I'm looking to find a partner who I respect, someone like my ex but a better communicator and more ready to be a partner (and skinny).

You forgot the biggest detail, you want a partner that has 100% no interest in children. Maybe you should date older fit chicks.

Unwrapping a really cute girl >>> being 8 years old and unwrapping an awesome present

Could be recency bias though

Seems like Gaddy is waaay into status from his comments on fashion, his apartment, education, some of his dating exploits, which is fine, but I'd think the "cute, nerdy girl who doesn't know how hot she is" is not going to be as impressed/interested by that stuff as most other subsets of women. Could be part of the reason why it's been difficult finding suitable candidates on dating apps, and then throw in some of the other restrictive criteria like not wanting kids.
