    Yeah, definitely moving on and won’t be giving him the time of day if he “tries” to contact me when his phone is fixed. This is the second dumbest lie I think I’ve heard from a guy, falling somewhere below “I have a physical problem” when I asked an ex if he’d been dating someone else. (He had been, but a vague “physical problem” was the best he could do when thinking on his feet to explain some of his behavior. If stupidity counts as a physical problem, then I agree.)

    Hurrah!! Finally, you might get some back up. I’m so lucky: we’ve got one lady above us and she’s pretty quiet, if a family moved in I’d go nuts from the noise I think.

    If we sell our condo, I will try to sell it to the people with the maximum little kids and dogs, who love to cook with onions and spices 😉

    Ahh. So this is the same woman who was weird about the view. WOW!

    Maybe she thought it was St. Nick’s day? I kid. But again, WOW!

    Exactly, Nookie!

    KTFran, it was 4 separate occasions. She’s definitely one of the weirder people I’ve ever encountered.

    Different topic – that trick where you draw a hashtag on the outer corner of your eyelid with a pencil and then smudge it out with the smudger end for a smokey eye in seconds? It actually works! I do brown for day and it looks really nice.

    Speaking of current dating woes…

    My aunt’s husband passed away, IDK, six years ago. The last year, she has started dating again. Since last fall, she’s been dating a man she met on one of the dating sites and over the last month, she has introduced him to some of her family. She ended it over the weekend because he told her to be his “ideal,” she needed to lose about 20 lbs. She’s not overweight to begin with. She’s like a size 6 or something and looks great for a 62 year old woman. WHAT THE FUCK?

    Anyway, i thought it was crazy and thought I’d share. Glad she dumped him!

    ktfran – I saw a profile on bumble a while back where the dude had height and weight requirements. i.e “I like a woman who takes care of herself, for example 5’1″ = 105, 5’2″ = 110, 5’3″ = 115, 5’4″ = 120. 5’5″ = 125…” and so on.

    Clearly the reason I’m single is because I can’t make the weight requirement. (Heavy sarcasm font on that one)

    Once I had a problem with my phone where I couldn’t read incoming texts but I could text out – it was a screen issue, so I couldn’t see what I was typing but I could type and send. That said, Copa’s guy probably doesn’t have that sort of a problem (also, my issue was pre-smartphone). Plus saying “try” to get in touch? What is that? If he really had a problem, you’d think he’d say “I’m so sorry, my phone hasn’t been working. Be in touch once it’s fixed!” I’m sorry you had to deal with that.


    @veritek33
    – weight requirements???? Ugh.

    Yeah, whenever I see the phrase, “want a woman who takes care of herself,” I am immediately wary and assume the subtext there is “skinny women only.” Listing height and weight is absurd, though. My body has changed a bit over the past two years — I’ve been both quite lean and am currently a bit puffy — but my weight and dress size actually haven’t changed.
