Only some of you will catch what that title means. Sorry for the slang. We all know someone like this. “I drive a Mercedes baby but it’s in the shop.” Or how about the woman who spends every penny she has on labels so she can keep up with a certain “status?” Where I am from, we call that hood rich. In fact, this problem has increased significantly by the invention of online dating. Someone can be whatever they want to be online. If you’ve ever dated online, you know what I mean.
For example, a woman may claim to look like this:
when she really looks like this:
There is no issue with how either of these lovely ladies look. HOWEVER….you gotta expect a man to be shocked when he meets you!
Now I have seen a man who claimed to look like this:
When he really looked like this:
Just kidding. I would never date ANY man who had a picture of himself with his shirt off on his profile. I don’t really care what you look like. It screams douche…but I digress because I’ve written about that topic many, many times. However, you get the point. Looks are not the only thing a person can front or…pretend about. How about age, money, job status or living with their gosh darn parents at 40. None of these things are deal breakers to all people…but lying is.
My moral here is simple: BE YOURSELF!!!! Someone will always find out. If you are not confident enough in who you REALLY are then you are not ready to date and find a REAL relationship. That’s all I have to say about that.
Until Next Time…..here’s a song that reminds me of this topic….Ciao!
Having been married my entire adult life to my high school sweetheart minus the last two years and the last two years being mostly consumed with one man, I am late to the dating game. Where does that leave me? It leaves me at 33 with no clue as to what I am doing. However, I am a natural winner and thought I had this all figured out.
Boy howdy was I wrong! I am a completely independent, successful woman who (obviously) does not lack in confidence. I am above average looking and keep in great shape. I am happy and outgoing and genuine and I truly love people. I just thought this dating thing would be a snap!
Join me on my crazy adventure and you will see the Las Vegas dating scene is a war zone and I feel like a soldier dumped in the front lines with no weapons training and very little ammo. Dating in Las Vegas is hard! I mean how hard is it to find a flippin boyfriend-right?But really I digress…..
So, feeling inadequate, I did what any somewhat intelligent, goal-oriented woman would do. I set out to conquer……..and then somewhere along the way I realized I didn’t really want to conquer either and sometimes I don’t even want to date. I just want to grow as a person and I am! Some days I’m fierce and independent and strong and other days I am lonely and fearful that I will never find real love. However, most days I just sit back and try to enjoy life on life’s terms. What choice do any of us have?
******This blog is meant as a guide to help people avoid the mistakes I have made and to help people discover what I have discovered. Dating is not a game and it is not a necessity.******
PS: Always looking for guest bloggers. It helps to have new and interesting thoughts! (Yeah even if you disagree with me.)
