IJWTS that I went to the library today after "work" and a guy was checking me out. It felt weird. I'm so not used to guys checking me out. I was big for so many years (and seen as asexual by most men, basically as the friend but nothing else) that I'm still not used to guys looking at me like that, even after being much smaller for over a year now.

If it wasn't leering, I bet it gave a boost to your self esteem :thumbsup::cool:

No, thankfully it was not leering. And it giving my self-esteem a boost would be normal for most people, but I'm strange. :D It still just feels weird to me. Though if I think about it, it is nice.

It's that one and more. Even the paid sites. It's everywhere and neverending lol.


ah yeah. that annoyed me. It was the worst for me on POF though. I really only had nonChristian guys PMing me just for hook-ups and giving me sleazy pick-up lines. And men who clearly did not read my profile. I only stayed there a couple of days before I decided thats about all I'd find there.

Ha...haha...I'm not a glutton for punishment, lol.

But FTR, it's things like, guys who are in their 20's emailing me (my preferences state 30 or 35 and up), guys who smoke or drink (my preferences state I will not date smokers or drinkers), non-Christians emailing me (preferences state I'll only date Christians), etc etc etc!!!!

IRRITATING.
I feel your pain.. I have people a decade older than me messaging me...

I kinda know how you feel....I get really awkward when girls are checking me out. Especially because I'm really not the greatest-looking dude, and they usually can see that plainly. It's all just a not-great experience.

IJWTS... :sigh: Why do men keep emailing me when it's so blatantly obvious that we aren't compatible? Dudes, why? Do you even READ a woman's profile? Do you just ignore what it says if you like the photo? What makes you think I'd want to date you if you don't fit any of the criteria? Frustration!! :nooo:

Many men lack intelligence (due to societal upbringing mainly). Though many women seem to be obsessed with fake blond hair, dark tans, white teeth, and are willing to go out with such men if those men happen to be physically attractive and make the women laugh. It really is a sadly overpopulated portion of humanity. But the rest of us have to suck it up, brush off the temptation to settle for such shallow qualifiers, and pursue actually worthwhile marriages.

And *sticks fingers in ears* lalalalalalalala. I'm not going to focus on how crappy the circumstances of the world are right now. I'm going to focus on the potential Jesus opened up for us on the cross, and on the fact that there are awesome people out there standing up for love and holiness, and on the fact that God wants to use me to help bring that awesomeness back into the earth. And that God can give me unfair favor and blessings in my life, even if the world isn't doing well, just like in Genesis 26:1,12.

I used to feel really uncomfortable whenever I'd catch a guy checking me out. I still do now. but there is that odd occasion when I feel good about myself and I catch a guy looking at me and we both smile at each other and it just feels good. Not quite sure how or why thats changing. but I much prefer enjoying that moment to the awkwardness of wondering, "why is that guy looking at me?"

Every picture I have seen of you indicates to me that you are an attractive guy, culturally speaking (I have no interest, no worries). I'd have to say I get a lot less glances than you do (I only know of one in the past year, and that was because a female friend of mine caught some other female looking), though my scenario actually works to my advantage, because I believe I'm called to a temporary celibacy for possibly a couple of decades, so that I can gain understanding about life and relationships.

Um, thanks.....not that it's awkward, but lemme break down my situation (in honor of The Situation :p):

-I'm not a horribly terrible looking dude, but I'm not the best looking dude either. To prove this, I doubt I could go around school and find enough women I count on my hand that I am physically wanting who would want me physically. That's not good number. Not even close to a good number....one would be a good number. :D

-I can't ask out girls here without knowing that she would say yes first. Has to do with how this school (AKA high school) is run. People know who I am, they would immediately gossip if I got rejected and my rep would fall pretty low. Messed up thing is that this is true. YEAH. :|

-Half these girls who are checking me out are really, really young. Let's just say I'm done with the drama. I'm too mental to deal with people being fakely so. :p

In the end, it's all anxiety regarding this stuff because they want you to make a move, but you're not because you're either scared stiff or you want nothing to do with them. But it's like being called on in class while you're on your phone....performing and no preparation. Plus I'm leaving the area very shortly and I don't want to ever be back there. Forced celibacy ftw.

Can't wait until I get out of here. :)

IJWTS - A couple years ago, I told the idea to my siblings of us all (well whoever wanted to :p) going and getting a tattoo of something like Erik's initials...and everyone was pretty much up for it..but it hasn't happened yet because of different and random things...and me being terrified of needles :sorry:

anyway...my sister showed me her tattoo today (same sister who got mad at me earlier today)...it says Erik...and she went with a friend who didn't even know him...

I'm a little salty...


and I would like this day to end...I'm going to bed....and am hoping for no nightmares..ugh...

IJWTS now I get this rich, older guy trying to impress me talking about jacuzzis and fancy alcoholic drinks. So not what impresses me, dude! Maybe he wants to see if I'm a gold digger...? What would someone like that (handsome, wealthy) see in me? Is he looking for a less-than-glamorous chick to fall at his feet and be all dazzled by him? I dunno. I'm so confused lol.

Well, there ya go. Less than an hour and his true colors are out. He asked me my bra size. Not even going to respond, cause he doesn't deserve it. Movin' on.

LOL. Older, "wealthy man" moves from jacuzzies to fancy alcoholic drinks to bra size in less than an hour flat.

I hoped you laughed...gotta see the humour in it.

IJWTS -

I feel sooo good today! So full of energy! And yesterday I felt sooo tired!

I didn't even get enough sleep.

So...

If I compare yesterday's intake of food/water/acids with physical exercise with today's the common denominator is:

WATER. I drank alot more water today, and last night before going to bed - and have had less dehydrators and even less refined sugar (stuff is everywhere - hard to stay away from - so more B vitamins too)

Yay for proper hydration! :clap:
