Yes. But lust and love are always BWM.

It's probably BWM if you consider the likelihood of that getting out of hand, and def BWM if that's defined as anything that doesn't increase your net worth. But if what you get out of it is worth it to you and you're well-prepared for the future, what difference does it make?

Joke's on me if that was rhetorical :v:

It could very well be the difference between drinking San Pellegrino for the rest of your life or tap water. Why roll the dice? It is important to date someone with the same GWM lifestyle as you: have lots of money, never spend any money, and drink plenty of San Pellegrino.

How do you get the Pellegrino without spending money, though?

Is sign exchange value worth nothing?

I only saw two of them. One was pretty chubby, but you could tell she would have been an 8 or 9 is she was in good shape.

The other was just a normal generic looking thin girl.

Both of them seemed very nice and brought back curly fries and horsey sauce.

I think if you're going on Tinder for one night stands or casual things, then finding someone who is also into it is probably the most important part. I doubt all of the girls he took to Arby's were down with NSA banging, but worried that going to Arby's was too casual.

And he definitely played the numbers game. He got the paid version of Tinder, because apparently the free one stops you if you swipe too much.

Gender roles guilt me into being fat.
Tinder also uses a ELO variant for matchmaking, so swiping on everyone kinda fucks up your pairings unless you just want casual sex from anyone.

In BWM news, adult age roommate who can’t hold down a job for more than a month got her retired elderly mother to sign for a loan on a 10 year old BMW 5 series “because she couldn’t be seen in anything less.” It’s kinda weird interacting with people who have considerable trust funds. She’s completely useless besides being a decent house cleaner and caring about her friends and family, but is also not really paying the price for that until the trust runs out (which it eventually will). She could’ve had a real nice retirement if she, uh, regularly worked a regular job.

She also asked if I wanted to re-up on the lease. I declined.

I paid for Tinder in preparation for a trip and it’s easily one of the best values I’ve ever experienced in my life. Not close.

If your only options are paying for a subscription dating app service (apparently this service gets you "super likes" and the opportunity to swipe until your thumbs bleed lol) or shelling out for consecutive expensive candlelit dinners (?) then, well, goonspeed.

Using condoms is GWM and GWL. Most clinics will even give them to you for free!

Agreed. But responsible prophylactic usage isn't a sufficient replacement for a routine clinic visit if you're having a lot of casual encounters. That's just casual encounters 101.

Genital herpes is a societal ill. Most other herpes are socially acceptable.
