Sometimes it stings the soul

[mrtaylorduck]

Knowing she is better off for leaving you. She was right. Damn.

Stop looking back. Think about the one who's better off because you're in her life. She's out there somewhere.

Mack is not coming back....Be Strong!!!

I read a lot of Charles Bukowski when I was in college and one thing he said that always resonated with me was this quote:

"Many a good man has been put under the bridge by a woman."

Don't fret so hard. You are probably better off without her. You just don't know it yet. Go drink a beer (assuming you are of age).

...are you seeking advice? if so, never ever let her read your op. women love confidence. she may not be better off leaving you. she obviously saw something in you. always keep your head up, you have friends here ...

Oh I've been drinking all day.

I feel like I'm not gonna be better off. I'll be ok, but this isn't one I'm gonna chalk up to "that's life".

I can never say or be who I wanna be when it counts. I just can't.

I'm 30 fwiw. Thinking i better make long term solo plans. I don't think im capable of maintaining a relationship and it's not like I'm beating them off with a stick.

Thanks brother.

My dad told me long ago, 40 years ago, when I was pouting about a female ditching me..."Son, women are like streetcars. You stand on the corner, another one comes along every 20 minutes". Sage advice, have never forgotten it.

You have to stop placing so much emphasis on how you feel. You must employ some logic for feelings without logic are wasted emotions.

Of course you're better off. You don't make her happy. Try living with someone who you make miserable. That's not happiness and you're not going to miss feeling like a constant handicap to her.

Go forward. There are millions of chicks out there for a 30 yr old to tangle with. There's one out there the Good Lord chose just for you. So yea, forget about a mate for now. Live your life, take the first step forward knowing the big guy is taking care of details you're not real good at anyway. When the time is right for that someone to come into your life, she will. But right now, you're not ready and you know it. So start tomorrow, get yourself together and stop trying to be "what you want to be" and just be yourself.

The first step is letting go of the past. Instead of drinking away sorrows, toast yourself in celebration. Your life has started anew. Make of it what you choose.

Well I am like a black guy trying to get a cab in Harlem at 3am. Chicks are not stopping to take a look. It sucks. I'm short, have really long hair, and really short. It not a great draw. We'll see what happens. I really thought this last chick was the one.

I already blew it with the girl I shoulda married. That was years ago though. Sad Sad Song Saturday.

 

[alonghorn72]

If it makes you feel any better it took me 4 marriages and 41 years to find the one that completes me. I could not have imagined I would ever love life this much. She is out there..be patient young bear....or duck.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Or just get your black book out, make a booty call - and you're Elvis Presley all night long. Change in perception can be a phone call away. Just sayin

 

[mrtaylorduck]

I'm tired of being the dude that the fat chicks bang. Not that I have a problem with it, but they aren't looking for anything other than telling their friends they banged some not-fat guy.

 

[pompomman]

Bro, you can't do anything about being short but you can do something about the long hair. If it isn't working for you...cut it off!

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Sorry to hear MrTaylorDuck. Keep your head up. To make you feel any better, kinda confused in my personal life too. I don't understand men.

 

[mrtaylorduck]

man this shit it too real.

Thanks. Whos knows what is going on these days. I feel like I have to play games and hide interest. Probably not gonna happen. So weird.

Never play games. Waste of your time.

That sounds great, but i've met a a number of chicks who are all over it (non-sexual), but when I show the slightest modicum of interest, they are out. it sucks.
