We Date Who We Are, The Daily Love

I loved this post. My favorite quote from Mastin: "Please yourself first then you will attract someone who is pleased with you."

Disclaimer

I'm always discussing the two extremes I see living in Salt Lake City. I want my readers to know that I don't think either of those extremes are wrong in any way. They just don't fit me. I started this blog to let others know that there are others like us who reside somewhere in the middle.

I have spent time in both extremes; my party animal phase (which turns up from time to time) and my religious phase (although in my case it's Catholic).

I have friends from all sides.

Douchy Phone Behavior

The following is a list douchy phone behaviors to avoid when he enters into a new relationship:

1. Saving panty pictures from an ex.
2. Saving your sexy response to said pictures from ex.
3. Using a picture of your shirtless self as your lock screen or wallpaper.
4. Saving deep conversations between you and your last girlfriend.
5. A special ringtone for that special girl.
6. Booty calls/texts when the new girl is sleeping over.
7. Your match.com profile app logged in.
8. A text from another woman thanking you for dinner and meeting her parents. True story.
9. Referring to another woman by the same pet names that he calls you. Sweetie, Baby, Surfer Girl, WTF?
10. Sending the same picture of yourself to multiple girls you are 'dating'.

It is amazing what people use their phones for. All of the above came from real experiences.

Are you trying to impress me or do you clean or sell jacuzzis for a living??

A Salt Lake City Single Woman’s List of Things That Must Go

When someone looks at you like there’s something wrong with you after you tell them that you are not married. I’m only 30 and it is perfectly acceptable that I’m not married!

Guys who use the f-word as an adjective.

The phrase “Nice guys finish last.” Advice for “nice guys”: Quit pursuing drama queens! P.S. This leads to nice gals finishing last too.

When a guy sends shirtless pictures of himself taken in the bathroom mirror to a GROUP of phone numbers.

Dates at Chuck-A-Rama, Golden Corral, or the like.

The Man-child. If you are over the age of 25 (and arguably before) you should NOT have a beer tower in the middle of your living room! **Slam to a guy I used to date**

Guys who can’t stop talking about their motorcycle or car. Doesn’t impress me at all.

When a date says “My ex was crazy!” I think this is more telling of the date than the ex.

When a new ex says “There are so many guys lining up to date you!” or “Don’t worry, you’ll find someone.” These are things only my girlfriends can tell me. From you, it’s just insulting.

Unrequested penis pictures.

Guys who show up for a date without showering first. After working on cars all day. Did I mention this was a blind date?

When an ex (who has seen you naked) says “Wow! You look like you’ve lost weight!” What are you trying to say about how I looked before?!

By the way, all came from real experiences of several single women in Salt Lake City.

Thanks to my amazing single girlfriends (Erin and Heather) for contributing!
