They're like dogs you can ride. They're social animals, so if you can 'read' them they're very good companions.

But dogs I've known are generally chill and horses I've known are definitely not.

Whats more affordable than renting horses is never interacting with horses because they are garbage animals that women only like because they have massive schlongs.

Horses were once incredibly useful and vital to civilization, but then so were 56k modems and we don't keep them around out of sentimentality.

I don't know if he's "horse rich" though. Seems like a higher tier of wealth to me.

Then keep trying to dissuade him. Horses are very affordable as a rental and if he sticks with one stable he can even keep renting the same horse and teaching it what he specifically likes in riding. Horses are skittish but not dumb.

Owning a horse is worse than renting. Try to convey that? Like, renting is pretty much as good if Dad Einstein doesn't want to compete professionally.

If he wants to compete professionally steal every valuable from his house before he pawns it to support a garage horse. That's the only way you will see an inheritance.

Pick posted:

If you're a shy guy in a wheelchair, go to one of the most liberal colleges in the USA. You'll get at least 7 months of a really hot girl who thinks your terrible treatment of other people is because no one has ever given you a chance to reveal the beautiful gentle flower you are inside. This will drive her insane as you regularly treat her like garbage no matter what you do. Then you go out and gently caress some normal guys and realize sometimes the reason someone is a recluse is not because of mobility peripherals but because they're incredibly mean.

It's more 'paying for riding time' than renting, but from what l I understand you can request specific horses when you come to a stable and say 'I wanna ride a pony'.

His girlfriend already gave her car to her one kid, so he had to buy her one. She sends 800 a month to her other kid since his husband doesn't work and they can't pay their bills.

She also is pushing hard for marriage for "financial security", shockingly.

What to make of my outrageous, attention-seeking new girlfriend's ways in the world?

quote:

I've been going out with this woman for a few months now and we're both totally into each other and pretty perfectly suited in many several ways. But here's the problem (or at least here's my problem): in bigger social situations, parties, etc, she dresses up like no one you've ever seen. She loves retro 50s stuff and has it altered so she can get her breasts (fake, for what it's worth) swelling up and out. Everything is tight and revealing, and when she walks across the floor, all eyes are on her, and then everyone wants to talk to her, men and women and probably small children and dogs, too.

As it happens, I haven't seen her like this in action. It's what she's told me, maybe as kind of a warning of what to expect. I've seen her dressed to about 25% of what she says she's capable of and that in itself is pretty awesome, but there's something about the way she's positioned herself at 100% that already has me a little freaked out and insecure and, yup, jealous in advance of any reasons to be jealous.

And none of this is stuff I want to bring up with her, because it'll only make her feel bad about her true nature, whatever the heck that true nature is. I'm not exactly sure why she has this need for attention in social situations but here's my best probably off-base guess. As a teenager, she was assaulted at a party; so maybe now she dresses the way she does so that everyone will know she's here and if she disappears for any reason, they'll all want to know where she went. I dunno. That seems pretty lame now that I think of it, but I don't know what else to think.

It remains to be seen how she behaves with me around at one of these parties, but I'll know soon enough, this Saturday, in fact. Does she flirt madly? Does she prefer to be seen with me closely or more distantly? I do suffer from some jealousy issues to begin with; am I going to get triggered all over the place?

And then there's a different upcoming party that's going to be filled with her more closer friends. And ex boyfriends.

Ugh. What am I asking here? I don't know. Maybe I just need to rant and worry a little. But if you do have any thoughts, I'd certainly welcome them.

tl;dr: My newish girlfriend dresses for attention; what do you make of it? what should I make of it, if anything?

tl;dr: I'm the world's most insecure man.

my grandma paula is a horse person, to the point where she spends money she doesn't really have to maintain her horse

she doesn't work anymore since she lost her job as a nurse for mercy killing one of her patients (who just so happened to leave her a sum of money when they died)

also she probably killed my dad. thanks, that's my crazy horse people story.

She's not some hot young gold digger; it's his high school girlfriend that he lured away from her happy marriage. He got caught up in the affair and by the time he realized they weren't actually compatible, she had moved in. She whines about missing her old life constantly. I don't know how my dad can take it.

It's basically a timeshare, yes. And the horse is kept at the stables (like most people's horses) so it's like $200 a month to ride a particular horse pretty much whenever you want.

I'll go back to renting a horse when I have more time and when I'm in a better spot. My only good therapist was my therapy horse as a kid. You don't even ride the horse, you just take care of it and you learn how it behaves and thinks, and since horses are social and reciprocal, if you have a horse with a good demeanor, it'll reinforce good social skills with affection and trust. For example, a horse might "nibble" at your knee with its lips. This is it trying to groom you as thanks for you grooming it. If you're nice, they're nice back, and they can tell if you're in a poo poo mood or not happy.
