You know- it's not so much that people are rude or demanding so much that in the brokerage industry everyone has an immediate problem. They want to have a technical issue or trade reviewed NOW. They want an exception to get an account open when they filled the application paperwork out wrong, NOW. They want the money wired out for their mortgage escrow right NOW (5 minutes before the wire cutoff time) because they procrastinated and didn't take care of it 2-3 days prior.

Then having to fumble with these exceptions, spur of the moment fixes, rushing to meet the customer need without making a mistake, etc. I feel constantly rushed and would gladly take a more difficult job that didn't measure results in the timeframe of minutes, but rather hours, days, or weeks.

Am I fucked up for reeeeeeally enjoying this?

the young ones today are insufferably whoreish and it's quite wonderful

It's like you almost see her butthole this whole time. Bitch needs to eat more chicken, pretending to be a pawg.

When I worked for an advisor it was actually him, more than the clients, who was pulling ridiculous shit like that. Constantly procrastinating, especially once the rules changed and he actually had to explain why he was selling certain investments to certain people. And then he didn't understand processing times when he finally put shit through at the last second and would give the back office attitude. Definitely glad I got out of that industry.

Whoa.

Sometimes I think I am mean.

My older friend who married a really hot French guy twenty years younger than she is now breaking up with him for whatever reason. Then she starts talking shit about my dude... I mean honestly if you're miserable no one will make you happy. New may feel good but it's nothing like someone who may not have everything but will share everything they have with you. People's priorities are not in the right place. People are also way too entitled. Get over yourself. No one needs to bend backwards for you. The fuck.

I'm immensely glad to hear that. I'm curious to see how you'll feel about it by the end because its true power is felt more than anything in the cumulative effect of it all.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

@FD you're dead on. You should never bend backwards. Just bend forward. And arch your back you lazy bitches!

Color me surprised: Another 'I'm just not feeling it' text message response from someone I had a date with recently. I think I just need to stop dating altogether for a while.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Perhaps if you ordered only one meal instead of three they'd want a second date.

 

[The Ozzman]

The way some food is portioned these days, it could be 3 meals anyway.

Dude, so fucking what. Rejection only builds character; something they don't know shit about. Take that medicine, get better and work on you! Fuck these hoes

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Dating is dumb. Too formal and charged with expectations. Great for sex, bad for real feelings. Invite them to hang out with your friends with you instead.

I am super anti dating, I just think its all such bullshit. Dressing different, acting different because the word date instantly puts you in a certain mindset, all the special male-female rules that you're an abhorrent weirdo if you don't follow them and you get either taken advantage of or ignored. Fuck dates. Just hang out, with other people around. It's less awkward.

 

[The Ozzman]

I've stopped dressing up for dates only because realistically if we're in a relationship and hanging out, I'm going to be wearing jeans and some random t shirt that is clean and not work clothes. Anything above jeans for me is dressing up. I'll do it for work and special occasions but fuck if I'm wearing that shit in my own house.

In terms of hanging with other people, that is a bit harder because the friends I do have either work weird hours or are married/have kids. I guess I could take one to Meetup group events I suppose.

I can see a first date being a time where you put in a little extra effort and it may be a little bit more formal, depending on the level of professional both people operate on in their careers. If you mutually determine there's something pursuing, that means being as much like you really are as possible. Otherwise you hit the point where one or the other "lets their guard down" 3 years later or whatever and it blows up.

 

[CiG]

If it were up to men, dating would probably die out fast. The formal "herpherp look at my nice shirt" types anyway.

 

[Dak]

As an investor in club manufacturers and hair-grab technique teaching centers, I think we should go back to the old ways.

 

[CiG]

I think men and women should stop pretending to be wine-sipping yuppies and just take s/o on dates like gaming arcades, paintball shooting matches, mountain walks etc.

That way people would actually know what they're getting into as quickly as possible and can the decide if they actually like the person.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Amazing how you all focus on the "fakeness" of dressing up without even mentioning how much sexier someone can look in dressy clothes.

It's like gift-giving, except the gift is your body. Kills the fun if you don't wrap it up in something nice.

 

[CiG]

I'd rather just see them naked. Wrapping paper is a nuisance.
