// dating 101:

dating in 2024 is for the bold

—- the tea for today is that men invented romance to manipulate women; not everything the glitters is gold* ✨

i wanna make this post with a few tips for my girls who find themselves in the middle of talking stages + situationships — it’s so annoying seeing some ppl make the dating scene worse for the rest of us 😭 // this post is about raising the bar*

💘 // No Sex: — if you take anything from me, take this!!

this totally depends on your “relationship” everything has it’s nuances + exceptions but I really wanna emphasize that you don’t need to hook up with every guy you’re dating…

especially if it’s someone you want to be “serious” with - absolutely no sex!

if it’s something you need to deal with, then you do that with someone else - like a FWB - but you do NOT hook up with the guy that your trying to be “serious” with

what if he asks?! for sure he’s going to try, you should deff tell him NO obvi 🤭🙃🤷🏻‍♀️💕✨

If you are JUST “talking” or in a “situationship” - AKA not official then no, he can go somewhere else or pay for it 🤷🏻‍♀️🙃 idc, just not you*

the moment you hook up and ur not official you lost him — what do u look like giving it away for a compliment?! #dontbecheap — no official title (relationship) = no sessi time 🤷🏻‍♀️🙃

💘 // Speaking of Cheap!: — let’s say your “dating” or talking or whatever label you want to put on ur situationship — with a “high value” man

you deff don’t want to hook up BUT also no nudes! a man *will try* I’m not saying it will be easy, but you will have to redirect the convo 🤭

// idc if it’s been a whole year(s) - you make him wait* — the “higher” the value (to you) the more u make him wait* && i promise you, you’ll end up his favorite 🤭✨ ps: don’t be fooled money is not the only requisite a man needs…

💘 // Don’t Mix: — each person you “date” has their own individual category*

but what you can’t do is mix them up together if you’re looking for it to go anywhere, ur FWB is not the same person as the situationship

you should deff still keep them around until you think whatever else you having going on is “official” // who you hook up with is always separate + different then who you’re “dating”

💘 // Don’t Chase: — idc how cute you think is, idc who much you “miss him”, idc what a great catch you think he is…

👏 Don’t 👏 Chase 👏 Him*

the sad truth is *many* men today are feminized — it’s such a twisted + depressing result of modern feminism

let him look for you* — might take a few days, shouldn’t take weeks tho* but never be the one who initiates anything*

no “hello” texts, no “wyd”, nothing** you wait for him to be a *man* && reach out to you

femmes *receive* and idc if he’s “bi” — you actually won’t even have this problem with a bisexual man tbh — you’d be surprised how “conservative” gender norms are within the *real* lgbtq community, bi men are deliciously alpha*

// he’ll do all the “traditional manly” things, that kind of gotten lost in the sauce in modern dating — moral of the story tho - don’t initiate, it has to be him, always*

💘 // Some Don’ts:

- situationships don’t take “trips” together bc odds are he’s trying to hook up + idc how much potential you see, you do not hook up*

- stop asking him how his day @ work went, should be self explanatory but don’t associate yourself w that aspect of his life unless you own a business together or something but even then - no ty* // meeting @ work is also different but “work” shouldn’t be a highlight*

- FWBs + Situationships *doesn’t equal* having a posicion* , the moment this man starts parading a new toy in front of you, instead of reacting — drop him* — anytime ur not official and some guy pulls a disrespectful ass stunt, yes — you leave expeditiously**

- a man ur not committed to in any “official” capacity doesn’t *deserve* chances to get it “right” — men who are NOT my man get 3 strikes before i leave him wherever he had me fucked up @ 🙃

- men know *exactly* wtf they’re doing — weaponized incompetence is a real thing and I’d much rather you cuss me out - vs - play dumb in my face like a toddler - men will *pretend* && will play stupid if you let them

- talking stages aren’t 7yrs btw lol all of these “getting to know you” stages should be 3-6 mths tops, any longer then that and he’s just wasting ur time — the moment you reach 10+ mths, he’s deff wasting ur time

- don’t get with anyone with a sorry excuse about why their divorce is not finalized, + deff don’t believe any BS story about him wanting to leave her for you lol — most men who do this are *actors* who want their cake and eat it too - no thx - these type of men usually have a storyline already set up— should go without saying but unless he’s actually *divorced* you shouldn’t be “dating” either

💌✨ // Part Deux tbc…

Some how there's a handful of folks who still feel entitled to a discount or FREE services from small business owners (family or not)🤦🏾‍♀️ . . If you decide to support small business owners, your 1st interaction shouldn't be, "do you have any specials"! . Wouldn't they tell you if they did? . . Maybe with your continued support/referrals they will be led to "hook you up " with a discount....but you shouldn't expect it especially if their product/services are worth more than what you pay. . . We're cool till you have to pay for services or full price? . . You doing your Dr/dentist/ hairstylist/barber/nailtechs & local grocery store like that too? Nah, I doubt it & if so, it's cause you've established a relationship. . . . #supportsmallbusinessowners #weareforprofitnotnonprofit #sharingiscaring #eachoneteachone #entrepreneurs #empowered #personaltrainer #nutritionstudent #supporteachother #dontbecheap #iloveyouthough #thanksforyourbusiness #thanksforyoursupport https://www.instagram.com/p/CB0fxcNDLRI/?igshid=r3yvmpzbb3gx

I always admired this man. • He was always unpredictable, a rebel in a locked place where no one else dared. • He once said that «if you’re cheap, than nothing helps». • When he said «cheap» he wasn’t talking about the price of some clothes. He was talking about the value of one’s soul. About personality, about originality. • About selfrespect. Being vulgar, showing some naked skin, begging for attention doesn’t make you desirable. It does make you cheap. • And that’s why people use you and then throw you away. • Respect yourself, value your body and your soul. Don’t beg for love, don’t lie to yourself. Don’t put yourself on the discount shelf. • #karllagerfeld #lagerfeld #chanel #dontbecheap #respectyourself #selfrespect #loveyourself #valueyourself #lovewhoyouare #selflove #selfgrowth #inspiration #goodnight #goodnight🌙 #buonanotte #godnatt https://www.instagram.com/annavargie/p/BvH_tstHt58/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2emvm1ml5git

If there is an option to leave a tip leave a tip!

I work in the gig industry; I deliver groceries to peoples houses. Today a lady asked me if the company I work for pays me. I informed her that yes they do pay me and that a 5 star rateing equals a bonus. She took this to mean that she didn’t need to tip me, which is SO not okay. The company pays me but they don’t pay me per hour they pay me per delivery. Very frequently this means that w/o good tips and ratings I don’t make minimum wage. As the situation stands if you can’t afford to include a tip in your order to use a service you cannot afford to use that service. This includes services like Uber, Lyft, GrubHub, Postmates, Instacart, etc. leave a fucking tip! If you don’t think you should be responsible for gig workers making minimum wage I agree! The way you can change this is by voting! Vote for ballot measures and politicians who are working to end the wage theft companies like Uber get around by making all their drivers “independent contractors” despite us not actually being true contractors. As for why I work there, I lost my job, I’m trying to start my own company but in the meantime I need to pay my bills and I need a flexible job. So to be clear, if you can’t afford to tip you can’t afford to use a service and if you don’t want to tip then DONT USE THE SERVICE. Gig workers DESERVE TO BE TIPPED. Oh and if we were rude but you got your food or to your destination w/o having to use your own car we at least deserve gas money so throw us a few bucks!
