I'm married

@Arcangelo I second finding a local singles meet-up group like @Serotoninluv said. Also, 40 is the new 30! Meetup.com I personally wouldn't be offended if someone said Hi to me at the store, as long as they were nice and not creepy. I know I don't speak for all ladies when I say that though. What is creepy and scary is someone following you. I've had it happen and you don't know if you should scream, run or play it cool. After a bit, he started telling me how nice my ass was and I knew I was in trouble. I quickly got my mace out of my purse and then ran to my car. ?

Contact "job and family services" in the morning and report your legal guardian and her ex-boyfriend. The legal guardianship can be revoked by a judge if you are being mistreated verbally/physically/emotionally. If you are restricted to guardianship for some legal reason, then they may need to find you a new guardian, if possible.

Locked- appreciate the love❤, but we just had a thread like this.

Thank you!❤

So, like the title says, I quit my job. Well, in Jan. of this year I had enough and without having anything but a savings I just gave notice and quit. It felt right. Everyone sorta thought I was losing it. Maybe I was... A little background, I'm a nurse. I was working as a home care coordinator at a hospital. Those jobs are rare, but I couldn't take my shitty boss any longer. I was trying to find something comparable and it just didn't work out. I was unemployed 4 mos, then had to just go back to patient care in the field as a home care nurse. I was a bit bummed, but made the best of it. The first company I started at was just horrible, quit that place after 6 wks and got hired where I'm now at. I've worked there 4 mos (worked there 8 yrs ago) and I was asked to take a promotion to a clinical manager job that became open this month. Finally, a job that not only gives kudos for a job well done, but a raise, extra vacation time and I will be a boss. Only bummer is I have to wait until they hire someone to replace me in the field, before I move into my new position, but hey, I'll take it. So, sometimes you have to just do what you gotta do and pray it works out! If you got through my long post, then thanks for reading.

Then stop with the- "women only like alpha male assholes that treat them like shit" stereotyping. Thank you!

What I'm saying is, what you say about women is mostly false and its sexism. The way you think women are is a stereotyping of women. "Most" women are not what you say they are in your posts. So, then you spew a bunch of false opinions, thread after thread and the women of this forum are getting sick and tired of it. The problem is not with the women....

I don't have it wrong. You just do it in a back-handed way. You'll post that women want a alpha man, a real dick (you said in another thread), that's an asshole and that treats them like shit and since you're beta and not that, your screwed. Therefore, blaming women, like I said.

He won't give up his victim mentality, until he's done being a victim. Part of being an effective victim is blaming others for your position in life. So, he blames an entire gender for the fact that he can't leave his man cave and socialize, as if it's their fault.

@Preety_India ❤ Ty!

Exactly! ...and those are the ones my comment was aimed towards. *sighs* This is one of the issues I have with it. My issue isn't the approaching itself, it's the mentality, and how it seems it's mainly to put a notch in the bed post of how many hot chicks they can pick up and sleep with. For the ones really looking for a relationship, well great! Ain't that the truth! Also, for the guys on here saying women in general only want asshole, bad boys that treat them like shit, thats just not true. Its not true for me and I've known a lot of women and a lot of couples and like I said, its not true. I'd say it's a small percentage of emotionally damaged women that want that.

Yes, this is how I see it also. First there were mountains, then no mountains, then mountains again. ......... From the ox herding stages- "The practice does not stop at emptiness. If we attach ourselves to emptiness, it could lead to separation and isolation.

Lol!

Don't forget candles ??

Sweet! I did this too, just for a short time. I would've stayed, I worked in-patient and loved it, but went on night shift and my body couldn't deal with nights. I would like this I think, sounds cool. Ah, you like living on the edge, lol. I quit my first 2 nursing jobs without another job lined up, but quickly had another job, because I wasn't picky and i was a new grad so they didn't have to pay me top wages back then. How you managed not being out of work for 1 day though is very impressive. Human resource alone with all the red tape, usually messes that up, for me at least. Thanks for your reply?

Good for you, really, so many guys (this forum is proof) are clueless. That exercise may be eye opening for ones that are open to a new perspective.

@Shiva You betcha! @Nickyy This is true!

@Shiva Thanks! Here is the thing, this is new to me. The leadership stuff, because as home care coordinator, that I use to be, it wasn't really a leadership/manager job, just administrative. The administrator (top dog) of this company just came to me and offered me the job. I didn't have to build any skills, lol. I was actually a bit surprised. I have an extrovert, a bit perfectionist type personality, but like my alone time and can also go with the flow too. I don't know how this will turn out. I'm hoping good and that I'll like it, but that's yet to be seen. Good luck to you also!!!

Thank you! They have still been looking for a nurse to replace me, before a transition to my new leadership role, but I got a call last night that it might be happening soon. Fingers crossed.?

Haha. Yeah, the energy suckers. They will suck the life out of you!

??? I heard this song 50 million times when my son was little!

Yeah, there's a balance you need to find with the compliments, texting, etc. You don't want too much or too little, ...more like a happy medium. Pretty much all things that can be desired are like this... (ie, eat too much good food and get fat, smother your GF and she runs). Too much of a good thing, is a bad thing, eventually.

Yup! She might find it cute for, um, a whole 2 weeks, then she would get sick of it quickly. Women don't even like their own children hanging all over them constantly, let alone a grown man.
