I'm getting mixed messages here.Dowies correct here as always. Just read what Dowie types and believe. Is it just me that cannot abide Dowie. Dowie whats your POF id , you want some crossdressing filth.
So I met this polish girl from POF and from the beginning she seemed quite a reserved person. Fair enough I thought some people need more time than others to "open" up. We chatted for about 2 hours over some drinks and during this time although she was quite talkative about subjects that I would bring up she didn't ask me a single question, and I me
Am I overthinking this and caused a problem that isn't really there or I handled this appropriately and fairly given the circumstances? I just wanted to protect my time/money/feelings messing with someone who has shown, in my opinion, red flags of disinterest.
Everyone changes.Somethings wrong if you think you have to change for a woman.
A lot of us here might be insufferable ****holes but that doesnt mean you have to change to please a woman.
Its called finding the right partner, someone who's prepared to put up with all your ****, and in return you put up with theirs. Nobody has to change, just tolerate.
This thread, for better or worse, is full of blokes saying "Women want this; women expect this; you need to change; you need to learn; you need to X, Y, Z."
It's a crazy world that women are constantly saying how they have it sooooo bad, and yet men literally bend over backwards to please them. Changing any aspect of themselves and their behaviour to better fit women's expectations.
It amuses me on the one hand; on the other hand confirms that I will die alone. I have no desire to mould myself into anything other than what I want to be. Not for Jane, Mary, Martha or even Paul.

Lmao.
So true....
Just be Jeremy Meeks bro, just get jacked bro.
I'm not sure what has upset him - perhaps this post was a little close to home:
I bet Philip Green is so glad that ex convict is now dating his daughter
who's to say their vision of you is "correct"? who says accepting you is a case of low self-esteem? why should you change to suit someone else? why shouldn't THEY change to suit YOU?Everyone changes.
We learn, evolve and grow.
And our environment shapes that. Having a partner is part of that environment so, naturally, you change with it.
In other ways, we are self-reflective and should work on ourselves to correct our weaknesses. And if we recognise from our failures with women that there are areas we are deficient in, then we should take that feedback and try to improve.
Otherwise, what? You just give in to your own bull-poo, and let it rule your life? Stay living in your mother's basement and die alone? Repeat interactions like the one in the OP until you finally find someone with low enough self-esteem to just accept and put up with you being the monster you are?
Sounds a pretty cowardly way to live, frankly, being too scared to address your underlying failures.
See the first two words in my quoted postwho's to say their vision of you is "correct"? who says accepting you is a case of low self-esteem? why should you change to suit someone else? why shouldn't THEY change to suit YOU?
which mean nothing. you were talking about someone making you change, not you "evolving" due to your own tastes etc.See the first two words in my quoted post
No I wasn't. I was talking about being introspective and self-critical in general.which mean nothing. you were talking about someone making you change, not you "evolving" due to your own tastes etc.
