I learned the hard way , don’t get involved with broke women. I had to sell my great grandfathers Ford Falcon to bond out. And I was innocent. I realized I’m investing time, money and energy in a bird, who has no tangible skills to help me in a jam. If she can’t pay for it with her natural ATM I’m SOL. If I can’t marry up Im not marrying at all.
I was attracting nothing but birds until moved to DC from Houston in 2015. Quality of the women went up exponentially. Wife is the COO/CFO at her spot, I got a cushy fed gig. Life is wonderful.

I hope one day I get married. I just want someone that will love me unconditionally, embrace me, and just respect me. It seems like it’s more difficult to date In This day and age. I always sit back and see couples embrace one another from what he or she likes or don’t like. From my experiences, I tend to be the one embracing them, but I’m always the one that has to “change” or something in my personality needs to be altered for their “standards”. That stuff gets old.

Of course, I’m currently getting my life and finances in order before I even start dating again. It’s just something I’m reminiscing at this time. I know I need to get out more, but sometimes my PTSD just makes me feel like I’m not even wanted whatsoever outside, so I just stay home most of the time outside of going to work

going on yr 21 with my old lady. I’m a fool with it but she still holds me down and vice versa. Gotta love and invest in yourself and she’ll follow. Was close to divorce 2x but we always reconnect. love is crazy
Care to elaborate or the 2x?

separation. Break from each other. Got into relationships while apart and still ended up back together.
To me loyalty is having a friendship and not wanting ill harm on your s/o. Even though i dislike her sometimes, I still want her to be safe and warm
Broke up with my now wife was then baby mom's. **** happens and we both needed to grow. When we got it back popping I knew she was the one and I got the ring asap.

Oh ****, whats good, Nupe?! Always dope seeing other Nupes on NT. :nthat:

Anyways, my tux process was simple. I got mine from a dope local Bespoke Tailor spot in the area about 9 months before the wedding. Went in for touch ups every couple months leading up to the wedding day. Ended up losing some weight a month before the wedding due to stress so the touch-ups were needed. :lol:

What's shaking Nupe! There's a few of us.. sometimes I forget because it's NT lol but sneakaprince sneakaprince is and I think saunupe1911 saunupe1911 too but we've literally never talked about it (I think he just never knew :lol:).

Mine was not simple.. because I'm wild particular and detailed as you somewhat get from my reel lol.. I drove my bro crazy :lol: but that's how I am with kicks so go figure. I went in super early and my bro said I was speeding because most actually put on weight which I did so for me it was the same but the reverse lol. adobecs4 adobecs4 that's a decent window depending on who you work with but this is the time to lock it in. As the post above.. you will likely need a few visits.

curious about the opinions of NTers 35+, especially those who got married later in life

imo:
  1. guys don't have a clock like girls do
  2. you can argue that with age/time, guys (can) get more attractive to girls. as in, guys make more money later in life, smarter/wise with age, better physique, etc.

with that said, i had talks with guys in the past that you should put off marriage as long as you can but just had talks to other guys 40+ that despite aging well, their dating options dwindle after around 40. is this true?


feel free to share your experiences or people who you know experiences
