Demona doesn't turn to stone at daybreak

Does everyone else find that their weekends are a nonstop, rushed chore fest?
I don't know how anyone actually does anything on weekends.
And I don't mind, but I'm kind of stressed because my son's graduation is next weekend and it's like 5 hours. It's not even a dinner, wtf is taking 5 hours lol.
I have no idea how I'm going to get all of my errands and cooking and laundry and work week prep stuff done.

I think I have good time management skills, but I don't see how I can get it all done. *SHRUG*

TTYL

Yes. especially with meal prep for the week, weekends kind of become a blur unless i specifically set aside time

Congrats on the interview going well!!!

As for time management, I try to get all the laundry, food prep, food shopping done DURING the week. I'll hit the grocery store on the way home from work, so it's no extra drive time. I'll food prep while doing laundry, so two birds with one stone, no extra time.

I'll use the weekends as an emergency backup, if shit hits the fan during the week. I'd rather have that time for myself, friends, and family, as balance in life is critically important.

Ok I am going to say something that makes me feel like a shitty person for saying it:
There are two desks within each cubicle at work and I have my desk mate friend and we talk all the time.
She talks non stop daily about all the cute stuff her boyfriend does for her. ALL.THE.TIME.
Fine, but this is where I'm a horrible person.
She's obese.
And I don't get it
Her boyfriend isn't fat
And treats her like a queen.
I am obsessive perfectionist about my body and I get treated like shit by guys.
I guess these things are completely unrelated.
Which I should know, but my fucked up self associates my body with my worth.
Idk.
I still don't get it.
I've known her since 2018 and she's never been single.
Always has a boyfriend.
But this time I'm annoyed because I have to hear these stories all day.
How do obese women get boyfriends and sex and I get rejected?
Ok, I said it. Yes I realize that thought process makes me a bitch.

I work every weekend and am usually only off on Fridays. But sometimes Fridays do feel like a chore fest. Laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc.

I try to get as much done as possible before about 3pm. So I have time to go to the gym, and then relax afterwards.

This is great advice. I find doing these things on days I work makes my day off much more enjoyable.

Can't concern yourself in comparisons with other people's situations, waste of mental energy, do you have a type you typically go for? does your type tend to facilitate shitty men fit it? are you open to all comers or very very picky in your potential suitors?

I realized after I said this that I've been with multiple obese people, lol.

It's not about comparison, but more so you can put a lot into bettering yourself and get no one, and you can put nothing into bettering yourself and get multiple people.
Just made me think

Also, this is what she TELLS you. She might feel insecure around you and be stretching the truth in order to make her life seem more exciting and to make herself seem more more desirable.

The kind of guy that you are attracting are the kind of guys you are allowing into your life. Who you are with, whether you are with somebody and how you get treated will be determined by what you decide you are worth.

Stop accepting less than what you are worth. Don't be afraid. Have standards!

Ya, but it's not like I carry myself as if I'm filled with self-loathing, lol. You'd think someone who is extremely overweight would more be advertising "I don't respect myself" than someone who takes care of themselves.

I dress well and I make people laugh at work. I don't sit back like a quiet mouse in any situation I'm in.

I don't see how any if my actions scream "pls come use me."

Also, I'm fairly certain that all the good ones within a 60km radius are just taken at this point and it's not anything in particular that I'm doing.
It's just soy boys and dumbasses left. Not that those things are mutually exclusive, heh

If "extremely overweight" then I agree with you. If only somewhat overweight then there are other factors that could attract a man to that type of woman.

I dress well and I make people laugh at work. I don't sit back like a quiet mouse in any situation I'm in.

That would be exactly what a lot of men would find most attractive, though.

Where is the sweet spot between soy boy and dumbass?

 

[Bump]

I'm old and needed to look up the term "soy boy". After doing so, it makes sense.

No, when I say extremely overweight, I legit mean obese. Like top 3 most overweight people I've ever seen in real life.

And im sorry, I'm not a mouse, nor will I ever be. I'm creative and I have shit to say. I'm not fighting or nagging or being loud. I'd find being silent all day boring AF.

There is no one left in the middle, that's what I'm saying.
I'm not expecting Chris Hemsworth. Hell, I'm not even into him.
Guys here are VERY feminine.
Not about lifting, in life. I need at least one manly trait to get into someone.
Whether that's intelligence, courage, fixing shit, the gym, whatever.

A few months ago my mom, my son and I were at a walk in clinic and a manly guy walked in.
It was almost shocking
And then I realized how crazy it is that I can't really recall that happening.
He wasn't even big, lol, he just actually seemed like he was manly.

I went to the same gym for over ten years and almost every guy there quarter squatted 135. I can count on one hand the number of times I saw a real squat.

People find our PM attractive. Hell, probably a lot of middle aged women voting is why he got in. I find him girly and disgusting.
But that is what a lot of women are attracted to.
I am not.

And im not trying to offend anyone or pick fights, but I cannot for the life of me get sexually attracted to a feminine man.

I won't try to speak for all men, but for many men these are considered masculine traits.

So the same way you are understandably complaining about the men in your country being too feminine, us men are complaining about Western women being too masculine. It all comes down to personal taste and there is no right or wrong answers, but these feelings work both ways.

You gotta hand it to your supreme leader, he looks very young for his age.

So how closely intertwined are lifting and manliness? Is a guy who can squat 405 ass to grass automatically manly?

I'm sorry how is talking manly? Again, I'm not LOUD, I'm just speaking, so now I'm manly because I simply carry on conversation?

I know it goes both ways. But I dress feminine and do myself up to be feminine, so the fact that I speak makes me manly?

Not necessarily. But your description of "sitting there like a mouse" is a very feminine quality. I'm just pointing out that being the opposite of that is not going to be seen as feminine by most men.

I suppose you are correct. I hate this saying because it makes me feel old, but "in my day" these kids wouldn't make it to lunch without at least a good bitch slapping.
