Learn a new skill, self-development, and exercise?

what do you do for work ?

I am sad to see that Forever 21 is closing all of its stores across Canada. An ex was a die-hard Forever 21 fan, and her closet was full of Forever 21 stuff (along with many other brands)

Now... if La Senza or Victoria's Secret were to go bankrupt too... Hmm...

maybe buy a few items and give her a text, cuz can't spell sex without ex ?
:troll:

Buncha Benedict Arnolds.

Man this Mustang is kicking my ass.
Driving it everyday is a reminder that I have so much room to improve as a driver.

Stumbled upon old Facebook conversations between an old ex and I from when we broke up 2 years ago and ended up scrolling through all the great messages and sweet things we sent one another before things ended. God damn I dropped the ball hard with her, could have been so much better yet there I was being a piece of chit. Shes happily married now and I'm happy someone's able to treat her the way she deserves.

Man, I know that feel - I been there not too long ago.
Feel free to DM me if you ever need an ear!

Wow- this place is still alive

Glad to see I’m not the only one that totally messed up in a relationship.

same and yup

Gf's family found out that my parents rent and not own. Somehow that reflects onto my financial future??? Now they disapprove of our relationship. So much for fun Glow/Aurora/NYE dates.

Mostly, I'm pissed off that they disrespected my family by making assumptions like gambling or shit load of debt. Funniest fucking thing, we have zero debt LOL. Funniest fucking thing, this came from a woman who is a stay at home mom for 20 years. My mom's been working since I was born. She gets 5 hours of sleep everyday even now, with all of our clients. This lady has no fucking right. Especially because she spends 8 hours a day watching dramas. Fuck right off.

Where's Johnny Tran, I heard you call :troll:


Are they asian by any chance? I feel like Asians are more critical of your parents background and have a negative perception on people who rent. Hope your GF was able to make her own decision whether to stay or not

Chinese/Viet.

Update, we broke up.

^ you're in a much better place man. fuck that shit.

I hope the last thing you said was....

I'm so fucked up over this. One day I'm angry and want to make fuck you money. Next day, I'm dead inside and just want everything to be ok.

I keep waking up in the middle of the night expecting this to have been a bad dream. Unfortunately it's a nightmare I can't wake up from.

It's funny, I met her on discord for fucks sake. An internet girl, who turned out to be everything I ever wanted. I was content for once. I didn't need anything else. I could be a child and be playful. I could be vulnerable with her.

If I tried harder, if I didn't take her for granted all the time, if I put her over my friends, I know for a fact that she would have tried harder to fight for us. I just didn't. And now I have no more tomorrow's with her.

Damn Asians.

If you did all of that - you won't be enough for her mother.

Find a girl who's family accepts your family for who they are. You dont marry the gf - you marry the family (some of the best advice i ever received).

Take it all as a learning lesson. When you find the right one - they will accept you and your parents - as you all are.

I did learn something from that tho. I can't just be blissfully ignorant. In comparison to her family, my family is a lot more white than Chinese. We don't care for gossiping, image, or anything like that. My money is my money, my parents money is my parents money, the Company's money is the company's money. I might help out my parents every now and then - but it's not one big pool. For her, it's all the same to her. So even if I did have a house of my own, I would need FU money for acceptance.

So anyone know how to make money in a recession? LMFAO

Regardless of whether it ended on good or bad terms, every relationship I've had taught me the most when it ended, and I became a better person (and a better bf) after every break up. In that sense, I have always been super thankful for everything that my ex'es have taught me.



On a different note, I ran into an old crush today. We used to work together at this sweat shop place where I had a part time gig. I had just finished university and was trying to figure out what I'd really wanted to do. She was fresh out of highschool, and instead of continuing on to post secondary of some sort, she, too, was trying to figure out what she wanted to do next. She was bubbly and very charming, but of course she was young and didn't have quite as much real world experience as I did. Being older and having gone through university, of course my mindset was quite a bit more mature. The difference in maturity and my realization of it kept me from actually pursuing her, but I knew if I was younger (or if I was still my younger self), I would definitely have tried something -- even though that something would probably be super corny and lame. (But hey, even then, almost everything I did at the time was still pretty corny and lame.)

Anyhow, so I was at the restaurant today, and this girl sitting at a nearby table (but not really that close) caught my eye. It bugged me because I knew she was someone I know / recognize, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember how I knew her. It wasn't until the end of the meal when I finally remembered who she was. It must have been at least 13 or 14 yrs (if not longer) since I have last saw her, so she is probably in her early 30's now, and she looked absolutely spectacular. Me, on the other hand, has become a horrible mess as the trials of parenthood did its numbers on me.

As usual, it feels complicated, and I don't have the right words to describe it, so I can only describe the factual stuff.

Hmm...

Takes a lot out of me to bring this up, but I met up with a girl to help her out with a project a few years back. She asked me if I'd be down for coffee after (rather than me initiating being the beta I was), and I declined mostly because I sucked at making decisions like this on the whim.

That said, I wasn't physically attracted to her at the time, and I doubt she was to me either. We just have a lot of chemistry together though and think alike in very many ways because we're kinda in the same social circle.

A few years later and we're both single, and I keep thinking back to that situation somehow lol.

Have any of you dated anyone you weren't physically attracted to right away, but gave it a try anyway and have it succeed?

Yep. This was the girlfriend, now ex, that I talked about above. By any means, she wouldn't be who people expect me to be with. But we got along well. I was pretty desp at the time too, so I decided to give it a shot.

We didn't make to 1 year, evidently above. But the past 11 months or so, have been fine. It wasn't great, we fought, but which couples don't fight? If the above events didn't happen, I'd still be happily together with her right now.

I see. It seems like it wasn't the two of you who weren't able to get past the superficial stuff, it was the parents.

Did you ever once feel that, since there wasn't an initial physical attraction (butterflies in your stomach feeling), that your expectations of everything else about her naturally went up? ie. her having a good career, compatibility with you, social status, supporting family, etc

Compared to someone who you might have been more attracted to (either physically or intellectually), would you have been less willing to compromise for a lack in those other areas?
