Ever have that experience where you don't know you're in over your head til you're drowning? Also known as (in dating) "Oh man, I'm sorry I got to know you better" ?

I went out with a guy a few times. We saw each other for about a month all total.

He went from "a little odd but nothing clearly off about him and someone I had a fun time with" to "HOLY SHIT THIS MAN IS BATSHIT" over the span of about 3 days as he told me, first, that "if women's equality was achieved then male sociopathy would increase because males have an innate need for sex and if they don't get it, they'll go crazy and start shooting people up, and if women are equal to men men will stop getting sex" and then "the reason women have lower-paying jobs than men is because it's socially acceptable for women to have those jobs and if a 35-year-old single father was waiting tables society would rag on him until he got a better job" (to which I responded, "I'm sorry, are you telling me the problem is that it's okay with people for women to make less money?") and, btw, his proposed solution for this problem was that "society should just rag on everyone equally for having shitty jobs" - i proceeded to ask him who would then do these shitty jobs if we just made it unacceptable for anyone to be a waiter/waitress - anyway, point is, this was a 31 year old. And people be crazy, people be mad crazy yo.

The scary part is sometimes they manage to hide it or not display it for a while - and then, all of a sudden, it comes out and the total deluge of crazy is just...whew.

I am 19 years of proof that this isn't true.

Who knows, though, maybe by July 20th when I turn 20 the switch will just flip and that'll change.

i'm betting it won't though...

I KNEW YOU WERE NINETEEN (once I realized that nowaypablo wasn't...). (Sorry, lol, we had a conversation where he told me he wasn't 19 and I spent half a day pondering, "Then who's the 19 year old..." I was pretty sure it was you though.)

Happy early birthday!

Thanks! I'll give you a reverse present by not killing you because you're a woman and I demand sex because I am a man!

Not sure how long that treaty'll last, though! :D

You look older in your self-portraits, but anyway NOOOOO DON'T LEAVE ME IN TEENAGERHOOD ALONEEEE

also sex is like really mediocre until you cross the boundary where it's awesome, then it's awesome. dont have mediocre sex.
