:martin:An office job, a closet of Hillary Clinton pantsuits, and your own cubicle is no achievement. Guys driving trucks at UPS with a GED make more money. But these "educated" sistas with degrees in English:mjlol:, and a Masters in Human Resources:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:.....making $50,000/yr......seem to think they deserve nothing less than a Neurosurgeon or an Investment Banker.

:stop: HR managers see high five figure and mid six figure salaries.

If you are 100% serious, yes, you will play some part in your own downfall. Trust me, being a pretty nihilistic person myself, i have had those moments of clarity where something that "wasnt my fault" was brought on by my total lack of faith in myself or the other person. Basically, you will be ready to throw the towel in at the smallest things, ruling the relationship as temporary. Sure, relationships dont always last, and many end under some shytty circumstances, but you having that attitude is going to go a relationship is sure to doom that shyt. What you are supposed to care about, you won't. What is a minor thing in the long run, will have you on the side like "mmhmm, just like a man." For real, from what you are saying, you are exactly the kinda girl a man would be warned against marrying,cause your fiancé might be a good dude now, but you just waiting to swallow that poison pill on the relationship, potentially turning a good guy bad with that foolishness. If you really feel this way, be alone.

I joke about it a lot, but i havent been keeping to myself for over 4 years for nothing. My negativity is real, and that shyt can ruin a woman who wants nothing but the best for me. Dont do that to dude, thats selfish. You will be pushing him away, and possibly into someone elses arms. Everyone will call you the victim, when they werent the ones feeling like they gave their all to someone who didnt have faith in them.

I think the difference between me and everyone else is I keep all my "negative" thoughts to myself. I just don't get my hopes up so when it happens, I won't be too crushed. I won't turn him bad or throw in the towel for the smallest things or anything like that, I don't make everything a big or anything close to that. I know exactly how to make a relationship last, I just don't believe men want to make relationships last.

You guys say no man wants a woman over 30 no matter how good she is that women over 30 are worthless/useless/old fossils, I'll be over 30 one day. You guys say all men want new p*ssy, well we both know how that works. But somehow when I take all these things into account, I'm thinking negative but when my husband decides he doesn't want a woman over 30, who's going to have to deal with that? When my husband decides he wants new p*ssy, who's going to have to deal with that? I'm protecting myself, I never bring this up I don't accuse him of anything I don't treat him badly because of it.

this is just something I keep in the back of my mind, when I start thinking "if I do this, then he won't do this" I just remember that no matter what I do, It will happen. I'm naturally a good person and treat people right, so don't worry about me turning a good man bad because it won't happen, it didn't affect any of my exes because they didn't/don't know about it. It sounds bad that I think like this but I'd rather be called negative then end up how my mom was after she caught my dad cheating. That still makes me cry to this day. :wow:

Women that say this have a skewed view of relationships in the first place. A man shouldn't be easily replaced by degrees, a dildo and your ability to cut your own grass or take out your own trash.

:comeon:You have way too much faith in yourself on this one. On the average everyday, women can hide whats eating them. Over time though, it becomes really apparent when you need time and attention, but constantly holding it back is a subliminal that you dont trust him. Believe me, men can spin the hamster wheels and create scenarios in their head as well. What you think you have kept to yourself, he has dreamed that scenario and others, and now due to your stubbornness, you both suffer in silence, or end up bickering around the issue.

And stop taking this knucklehead shyt about "women over 30" as gospel. According to the coli, most women are unmarried hoes, especially the black ones, and the nerdy guys who earn are going to die with 50+ womens notches on their bedpost. This shyt isnt reality. If you really feel the way you do, share that shyt with your dude, cause they may not say anything, but you hurt them with that kinda behavior. I dealt with a girl with similar thoughts for 9 years. Guess what? Heartbroken, alone, and constantly dodging intimacy with women because of something one girl i held way too close did.

And she likely didnt even mean it. So pretend it only effects you if you want. But passing your damage along is going to leave you relatively the same, but another man bitter, on some "fukk these bytches" steeze, cause everything he thought he was doing right didnt save what he wanted most. Dont let the musings of hurt man-children think you can play the game any differently than those before you. Trust in your man or leave him alone and find a way to cope. With dating, holding back is good. Marriage? Dont even drag that weight with you.

I went to UCLA. A school of 36,000 and I never seen no old dude role up on anyone. Stop it. You look silly.

Furthermore tell this shyt to white woman. Black women live in a completely different world where regardless of youth and beauty the generational economic failures of black men mean we have always had to adjust.

This is why black women are being told to date out. Posts like yours are a reason why it's probably an excellent idea. Black women
Shouldn't have to suffer romantically from black men's underachievement.

So brother how long should pookie and ray ray outnumber Jamal?
I've seen older guys with some of the women on campus (smaller, private) While it's not like 50% of the women are fukking with older guys, it's not uncommon at all. Dudes in their late 20s, and 30s are getting p*ssy from a lot of girls on campus (especially the Arab and Black girls).
I know for a fact that there are older guys running around with younger women at UCLA and Berkely, not in secret either.

There will be plenty of men who will want women in their thirties, the question will your want them?

I disagree but this is why I just keep my thoughts to myself I feel like everyone blows them out of proportion. I feel like you're being dramatic, he isn't gonna turn into some woman hater because I think he's going to play me. and it's not eating away at me, it's not even something I think about regularly, it's just something I've accepted. I'm not holding anything back. But again this is why I don't talk about this stuff because everyone always acts like it's soooo bad to think that a man will cheat, even though men cheat, all the time.

So, I cant meet an attractive lady, settle down without marrying and let the relationship run its course? Just saying.

:yeshrug:
of course you can. it just implies you prolly wanna meet someone else :ehh:

or maybe you'll be unmarried forever, which is also cool. i just hope you got the genetics that will keep you getting laid into your 70s :intoodeep:

Look,you arent understanding me. Do you know why dudes complain so much about the 30+ women? They come with baggage and hangups. Its to be expected. Im not chiding you, im saying, what you *think* your partner feels and what he actually feels can be two different things. Same for him. If hes out late at 3am and he didnt contact you, are you going to call with concern or call because you are afraid he is with another woman? Or the second time it happens? The third? The overly friendly girl at his job....and him being out late...will you trust him or just go with the assumption he is cheating? Not all men cheat, and fewer men will feel good knowing they are expected to do it anyway.

This is what i am getting at, and keeping it in verbally doesnt keep you from acting like a person that doesnt trust your partner, even when you find what you are doing harmless. Im saying this as someone who has been there on both sides, and am paying the price. My mother once found a photo of a kid in my fathers workpants. It was a 8 year old kid that he had with another woman during their marraige. 2 kids i thought were my cousins for years? Turned out to be step brothers and sisters of mine. I saw that. I had that "do you want to live with me or your fath" conversation when it all fell apart. How the fukk am i supposed to pick at 5 years old? Your not alone in this, but imma leave it alone. When i didnt know how to cope, i had no one. You choose to keep it to yourself, and thats a detriment to the relationship. Good luck to you though, and even more luck to the guy who loves you and has no idea how you feel.
