So, there are dudes I date, for different reasons.
Some guys I'll date for snuggling and actual bonding, and these are the guys I actually like. I'll date women for this, too, but it doesn't come up as often.
If an older man wants to "date" me, I'll accept, but I won't be physical, and these are the guys I'd rather have give me gifts or straight up money, just to pretend to like them - but they actually have to be likeable. I don't fuck oldies though.
There are a myriad of ways to date without getting dirty, but the guy has to have SOMETHING.
Money (AND be generous), really hot, actual bonding time.
I don't want to get remarried yet, so I reject dudes who want marriage courtship.
But this guy has NONE of that.
But wants my time.
He's older than me, but not old enough to realize I think he's gross. (about ten years)
He's not wealthy, but wants to go half and half (I'd probably end up paying more)
Hes not insanely hot, and even if he was, abortion is illegal here, and I'm not messing with a dude without three types of protection. But he's not even hot enough to get me slightly interested.
I guess I'm just pissed because I want him to see how much I despise him, and why it's a justifiable reaction.
He's just so. fucking. mediocreineveryway.
Mediocre =! Safe or stable, and even when it does, EW.
The average woman is better than the average male.
