I’m gonna paraphrase Forrest Gump here, something like “life is like a box of chocolates. You dip in blind and come out with a toffee covered in milk chocolate and you’re so pleased that you think every one is a chocolate covered toffee so you carry on and get a shitty turkish delight that some pervert has put in there. You gather your loins up and have another go, you pull one out and praise the lord its milk chocolate so you trustingly put it in your mouth only to find its some puke inducing strawberry fondant. Then you get the caramel with the nut in it, mmmm but its followed by some dark covered mint abhorrence. Anyway momma says you gotta spit the shitty ones out and get better at picking the good ones”
Yes! You’ll find someone right for you with the new skillz you got messing with Cory. I’m glad you’re on Cupid, and will cross everything that it brings you what you want, or at least more good practice.
Agree. He’s weak, and using your insecurities to make himself feel bigger. He’s going to have a shitty life playing the game that way.
Keep it straight in your head, Spock, HE is not good enough for YOU, not the other way 'round. YOU are going to find someone strong and nice, like you, and be happy. No shitty Karma for you!
One thing I’ve learned about men, specifically asshole men, from my silly side-job as a bouncer is this. They want to feel like they’re in control and generally don’t like it when someone checks their asshole behavior instead of giving them what they want. And they try to get what they want by acting like an even bigger asshole.
Last night I cut a dude off. Grabbed him by the arm and moved him out the door when he didn’t walk out on his own in due time. Fairly routine stuff. He didn’t leave the property until the cops finally showed up, the entire time getting in my face and refusing to accept the reality that he wasn’t going to get back into the bar. It went on for like 30 minutes too, with him sending all manner of insults my way and acting like a hard-ass but not actually doing anything besides running his mouth. Committing assault on him was tempting, but I opted to have the bartender call the cops and just wait the asshole out.
It’s ridiculous, childish and petty behavior, but it happens all the time with assholes. They have to feel like they’re in control and hate when someone checks their behavior, like you did with not being a booty call for him or I do when I say then need to leave the party. His response was to feel like he’s in control by making you feel bad and deleting you from social media. The guy’s response to me last night was to challenge me verbally and act like I had no control over him, despite the fact that I just moved him out the door and stopped him from getting back in.
Pretty standard asshole behavior all-around. That’s his problem, not yours.
I think as you mature into yourself - knowing your value (that you’re smart, fun, loyal, hard-working, have quarter-bouncing-ass, etc) and knowing that your values are (you want someone who has integrity and is kind, fun-spirited, respectful of your passions, etc) - you’ll be better able to discriminate.
I just want to thank all you guys for your support here! I’ve never had such a wonderful group of friends, online or not, who are so quick to chime in and give me such good advice.
Its clear to see people value you spocko, think on the next time you feel down over some dickhead. People care, albeit internet weirdos but hey beggars can’t be choosers
