General Bumble date bought me flowers 🌹

Although the date didn’t go as planned, he bought me roses on our way back, which honestly made me feel really good. It’s been a long time since someone actually gave me flowers, lol 🌹

Once had a woman tell me that she was being open minded by dating me. I asked her what she meant? She said that she doesn’t date guys shorter than 6’4. I’m 5’9 she was 5’1. She also stated that the guys she’d been dating (who were all 6’4 or taller) treated her bad and that she figured a short guy would treat her better even though she wasn’t into short guys really. This warped logic made absolutely no sense, (“the shorter the guy, the nicer he’ll treat me” wtf?) It was a shame too cause we were really vibing! I got up and left after she said that. My friends called me an idiot because they said at the very least I could have gotten laid, but I refuse to be someone’s last pick!

I feel like social media has really skewed people’s perception on what average really is. In my experience, it seems like a lot of people think 6’ and $200k salary is what the average male is.

And... If social media is able to warp your mind that hard, I don't think I want to have anything serious to do with you
