Your Loss?

Do you REALLY mean that when you say it? I mean, really, really, really deep down, feel that in your soul?

Rejection is a part of life. It just is. That job you really wanted. That hot romantic flame. That person you thought was your best friend. Public perception of your hard formed creation. All of them and then some will say to you at some point....Nah, you're not good enough for me. I'll pass. REJECTED. Ugh...a bullet hole right through your gut. That shit hurts.

This element of life is hard to face. One of the coping mechanisms we are taught to use is to respond with a quick and simple phrase. "Well, that's too bad. Your loss." It makes you feel good for a moment. But how many of you utter these words, then start feeling shitty again almost as soon as the words are done rolling off your tongue?

They can't just look good, they actually have to BE good to you too

 

This one is written from a male perspective. But the same principle could be applied for the ladies out there who might be reading this. For us men, you are all probably well aware that a woman's looks can be like kryptonite. Hell, even at times very strong willed men succumb to the undeniable powers that come from a woman whom they find irresistibly attractive. We all have our "type" and damn sure our moments of weakness.

For you ladies, let's touch on the alternative characteristics. Sure looks have something to do with your psychology, but more of your man kryptonite comes from his status/power/influence/charisma, whatever you want to call it.

Life isn't exactly fair for most guys in the online dating realm. Let's just be real, the playing field will NEVER be level in the sense that girls who date online will always have way more guys hitting them up than guys have girls hitting them up. It's just the way the numbers are. Deal with it.

Duolingo on the Toilet

I have always sought out ways to learn new things, practice, or improve upon skills. There was a period of time where I was playing a lot of games on my cell phone. Mindless, stupid, time killers. Nothing else. I started thinking, what the heck am I doing? Why am I not using this time more productively. Instead of crushing imaginary cyber candies, why am I not learning something new or at least being productive? I decided to brush up on my foreign language skills. You know, something that actually has some value and can be used in the real world. Something that actually matters in my life? Ok great, I will now dedicate some small amount of time each day on my cell phone to doing just that.

Types of Friends to Get Rid Of

We've all got a few of 'em hangin' around. You're better off if you toss em in the trash:

You Get the Opposite of the Way You Act

 

I'm not gonna argue the right or wrong, debate the merits of each persons modus operandi, or try to convince anyone of the way that males and females "should" act in a relationship. I think in this present day and age, what would have previously been considered "traditional roles" in a romantic partnership seem to piss a lot of people off. So I'm not even gonna go there. People get so butt hurt so readily if you try to broadly attach any sorts of relationship behaviors to either sex. And honestly, that's really not what I am getting at in this article. So I am not going to use the words feminine or masculine at all. Let's just say, dominant and submissive. I'll leave it completely up to you to assign these words to whatever side of a relationship that you want.
