Re: Friday QOTW 4/18 - What really grinds your gears about your SO or the Opposite Se

Here's one I've run into since I've been back in the dating pool.

Girls pretty much always say they are just looking for a "nice guy". Most of the time they will be more attracted to the cocky guy than the nice quiet one, even if they're both attractive.
I know it's about confidence, but even when you're confident you can still lose out to someone with "game".
You would think girls would figure this out eventually, but they usually date a doosh and think they can change him.

But, don't those technically grind gears?

2015, you seem to have a lot of lady troubles.

What troubles me is the picture I saw of you with your arm around some cute blonde. She was a dime.

I strike out a lot but sometimes I get a freaking home run.

I think my problem is I don't take enough swings. I need some more ABs

Honestly, I've been taking a lot more swings the last couple years. Definitely helps brush off the "no"s a lot easier man.

Yeah I'm trying. Doing online dating now since I don't have a lot of other opportunities to meet new girls.

Apparently I am only attractive to girls I am only marginally attracted to. Fat girls think I'm hot. I'm not skinny or anything but I'd rather date a girl who's not fatter than I am.

Not ordering fries then eating mine. Learned to just get an additional order no matter what. Pisses her off, but gives me a feeling of indignant satisfaction. And she eats the fries. This is universal with all women.

There IS a right way to stack a dishwasher.

Spending too much time on the cell phone around family & friends or during a movie.

I do Tinder but that's a young people's thing. But I am not a skinny guy either and get a lot of fat girls on Tinder too. But I have more success at a bar or out because they can get to know me a hell of a lot more. Online Dating is a lot of looking at the picture, deciding if they're attractive enough or not, then looking at the profile info.

Cell phones!!! Holy crap! I love my smart phone but if we're on a date, put the damn phone away. Same thing with taking selfies all the time.

Oh I know. I'm not expecting a super hot skinny girl to be all over me. I'm not really that picky either, but if you look pregnant when you're not pregnant, that's not gonna work for me.

My wife and I were raised very differently. My parents never argued in front of us and her parents were at each other's throats every mealtime. As a result, I'm really mellow and tend to avoid unneccessary confrontations. She sees them as normal.

If the wife and I argue, I stay really even keel, which apparently pisses her off. She will relentlessly argue a lost cause only so she can push me to the point of raising my voice.

Oh, Tinder's not just for young people. I'm 30 and go on like two tinder dates as week which is about I can handle at my old aged energy level. Hiphopp, you should get it.

Complains about things being messy from time to time yet she constantly puts away dishes that didn't get fully cleaned by the dishwasher. Nothing grosser than grabbing a bowl for cereal that still has crusted oatmeal on it. Also the fact that I can't offer any criticism without it coming back around to something about me.

I click yes on every woman over 30 just to see what happens
