Because you're a Chad!

I guess she had a misconception that everyone from up north sounds the same.

A lot of it is urban vs rural too. You can spot all the people who come from the biggest city in my state because they all have a different accent. Northerners think they sound country and southerners think they sound like yankees.

I get so lazy with the app once I've met one girl and it looks like we'll continue dating.
I don't even want to message, or set up new dates etc. I have multiple girls I can potentially meet right now, but cba. And it isn't because I'm attached, I'm not at all.
I guess I'm a 1 girl kinda guy, or lazy with these apps. I know people say to date multiple women because she is, but fuk that's so much effort. Even keeping track of each girl and what I've said to her - I mix them up.

I was thinking… you just answered your own question. Stop being the village bicycle and actually give one a chance, even with his flaws and yours.
Imagine complaining about something, yet being an active participant in doing the thing that causes it.

So I have a question for all of you. What do you think of someone requesting that you both get tested before having sex? Would you feel insulted that someone asked? I'm petrified of STDs and the fact you can have something and be asymptomatic terrifies me. I just want to make sure I'm safe and I'm completely willing to get tested myself.

To answer your question: I would be glad to hear it, and it would increase my attraction towards her.
As with most things in dating, you actually want to weed out those types who would reject certain propositions.

I mean, I guess I understand the offense, they think you're saying they are lying or something. But for me it's more about worrying about those rare cases where someone has HSV2 and are asymptomatic. Like, wouldn't you want to know? I would.
Also every guy that got offended with me asking got an “lol” and a NC.

I guess I’m different on the second part. I want to know every little detail about my health lol
However that’s probably due to me going slightly “chaotic” when losing weight. Hard to find a respectable middle ground rn
