Driving a car, smoking weed, having tattoos and having ripped muscles. Four things I don’t have or do and yet it feels like at least I need half that combination to attract a woman or at least the ones I know or encounter on POF. There’s a guy who up until a month ago used to work with me whom apart from muscles he ticks all the other boxes. Anyways he was seeing a girl from work and they seemed like a good couple, but things got difficult (word has it he got nasty with her) and broke up but I was at a party a couple of weeks ago and they were there back together like nothing had ever happened. I’m guessing that having some of those qualities covers up how much of a twat a person could really be.
I don’t drive because I don’t need to at the moment, fractured ankle aside I walk near enough everywhere and use buses and sometimes trains when needs be. I can do without the expense of driving lessons, the car itself, petrol and insurance. I get there are people who need to drive if they have families or need to make long journeys and work commutes. 17 year olds out there thinking just because they legally can drive means they should when actually they don’t need to. Besides I bet the majority of them need to get on their parent’s insurance etc (poor parents). If I ever get married and have a kid on the way that’s when I’ll start to learn how to drive and buy a car. Until then I’m happy with my legs, bus pass and train timetables.
The muscles thing, when my ankle heals and I lose the weight I’m sure I have put back on because of it I will want to go to the gym and workout. Now it maybe deepdown I want a better looking body because I think it would make me look attractive to a wider range of women but ultimately it is for myself.
About tattoos. It started when I was 18 and still living at home with my mum. My best friend growing up at the time was addicted to getting them done. Not wanting to feel left out I booked an appointment to have one done in the future, I didnt even choose a design or know how must it would of cost. But I remember telling my mum and she said “adult or not you living under my roof you ain’t getting anything done to your body”. A year down the line and I became grateful for her nagging. I wouldn’t want to be one of those people who gets a tattoo they regret having later in life. If I ever did get a tattoo it would be one that I can look at in old age and not regret, like say if I had kids I would tattoo their names and birth dates because my love for them would last forever.
Weed is just another reminder of being one of the cool kids in school. It even applies as an adult unfortunately. I have never tried it because I just don’t see the point in doing any kind of drugs. I don’t judge anyone who smokes weed (to be honest I do like the smell of the stuff), but I don’t like the weed smokers who judge me for NOT smoking weed (fuckers). I have thought about trying it just to see what its like. But what stops me is knowing my luck I’ll try it once at a party and like it, then start smoking it more often on my own (addictive personality remember) and after buying some from a dealer one night I get randomly stopped by a policeman and searched for whatever reason and get caught with it which will lead to a criminal record for possession which will possibly affect any jobs or applications requiring background checks. It’s just not worth the potential long term grief, but if I was somewhere where smoking weed was legal like Amsterdam I would try it there.
