The whole having a group of hot chick friends you can flirt with while going out is great. Makes for a fun and safer environment when drinking.

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again

whoever was asking for an AU wave earlier fished their wish

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that

babycat

15:18

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

15:19

I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

15:20

Like if more cheaters just paused and rubbed one out they would be like you know maybe ill just watch some TV

babycat

15:20

I've seen some people do a really good job keeping their family out of it. But it really is an "anything they can use against you, they will" type of vibe

babycat

15:21

Ugh I need to go work on essays bye folks

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
