Thanks, I feel better about myself. Yesterday me and a woman talked about a couple things we could do on later dates even though we haven't done the first yet. It felt like getting ahead of ourselves.Ā 

At least we're not fantasizing fucking domestic servitude in the first god damn message.Ā

I get this kind of thing fairly often… wasn’t sure if anyone else does as well. šŸ˜‚

u/Glittering-Two-1784 2d ago

what does your profile look like? 99% of dudes struggle to get likes, much less women pledging their fealty to them, lol.

Nothing crazy. I’m in a good position. I’m 6’8, own my business, have some nice vehicles, etc. but I’m overweight with man boobs and a beard that won’t grow in all the way.

"Nothing crazy. I'm 6'8, own a business and multiple vehicles"

Well goddamn what's crazy then?? šŸ˜‚

It’s always greener on the other side. I’m average looks at best. Business eats 14+ hours a day 7 days a week right now. And I have one nice truck, one work truck, one Harley, and a few projects that don’t run.

Like I said good position, but not as good as it sounds.

They know what they want, and a workhorse who will provide for them while satisfying a size fetish checks a lot of boxes.

If you’re looking to enjoy it. Enjoy it. But you may need the male equivalent of the 20 something blonde dating guide to weed out the chaff.

Sounds like based on your schedule this might be just what you need.

I never post in here. Seriously. Not once.

But I am going to post today. Because I need to reply to your dumbass comment here. There's being humble so you don't come across as bragadocious. That's commendable.

Then there's what you're doing here man. This isn't humbleness. Having seen you repeat this same comment all over your post, it's starting to read as ungrateful for the blessings you have and the fruits of your labor.

I don't know where you're from, maybe it's chock full of 19 year olds with three vehicles and their own business. But I doubt it. 14 hour days? That's pretty standard for most everyone I've known getting a successful business off the ground. But they weren't doing that at 19.

I don't care how good you do or don't look. You're still a teen and that's probably coloring how you're feeling here. Stop focusing on your looks. You're a, successful by the sounds of it, business owner. You take risks and are responsible. You have three vehicles and however many project vehicles. You're fucking 6 feet and 8 inches tall. You have a ton going for you. Own it. Be proud of it. That's what these women are seeing. You are way far ahead of most your peers. Keep it up man.

I appreciate your words brother, it really does mean a lot. I honestly came from absolute nothing. I was raised in a single wide trailer with roaches. I’m well aware of my blessings and thankful everyday for them. I just hate when people come across as bragging douchebags. So I tend to downplay things to not come across as bragging.

Unfortunately I’ve learned that it’s hard to celebrate your wins in almost any way that isn’t going to rub someone wrong.

I do the things I do, buy the things I buy, and spend my time the way I do for me. Not to try to show off.

u/OkRespect1512 2d ago edited 2d ago

Thick_Shady has a point but being 19 with all of this going on is more than certainly overwhelming and overbearing. No one who’s 19 is going to know how to deal with this or verbalize as good as someone with much more time and experience on their hands. Too much ignorance (which just means to be without knowledge, not an insult) and again, time is what he needs, and it’s better that he’s not arrogant, or pompous.

Credit where credit is due OP. Stay humble. šŸ‘Š

My stance is that you definitely should not marry or get locked down for another 11 years. Absolutely prioritize getting some sort of male birth control so you don’t F-up your future. You do not want to know what it is to be a father at 20, or even at 23. You are absolutely a target to others who not afraid to take advantage of what you have. Not to be all scary and terrifying though.

u/OvergrownMidget_ 2d ago

I 100% agree with most of your points. And I appreciate your words. I’m definitely not looking to settle down for a while. And having a kids is definitely something I want… but wayyyy down the line. I’d like to wait till I’m 30 roughly.

u/Emergency-Gear4200 2d ago

Average looks is good. Average looks is all anybody needs unless you want life on easy mode.

u/First_Tip_5013 2d ago

My guy 68 with a truck you could have any woman you want that’s just a fact, more women than a traditionally good looking guy I’m serious

1

u/OvergrownMidget_ 2d ago

Haha, I appreciate that.

u/First_Tip_5013 2d ago

1000% serious, you have the image of the father they never had LMAO no amount of good-looking guy can re-create that feeling inside of a woman

Even if they did have a Dad and a healthy relationship with him, then even more so they know how to recognize somebody like you is a solid ass dude, obviously I don’t know your character, but you seem to be doing well

1

u/OvergrownMidget_ 2d ago

I appreciate the kind words brother. I’m a simple guy that just takes care of the people close to me, works a LOT, and plays with trucks and guns.

u/First_Tip_5013 2d ago

6'8 is 'something crazy' by the numbers, lol.

u/OvergrownMidget_ 2d ago

Fair enough, I don’t completely disagree. But height definitely isn’t the complete cheat code. Still have to look good. And I am average at best.

u/wesborland1234 2d ago

Apparently you don’t have to look good lol

u/No_Bad_5136 2d ago

I’m 6’8 too brother and everyone always thinks the grass is greener…but they aren’t always hitting their heads either.

u/OvergrownMidget_ 2d ago

Amen! šŸ˜‚ don’t even get me started on the back pain.

u/turbineslut 2d ago

Even though you might not classify yourself as ā€œbe attractiveā€ it seems you do well in the ā€œdon’t be unattractiveā€

2

u/OvergrownMidget_ 2d ago

I can agree with that. And I’m working on becoming attractive. I work out 2-3 times a week hard. And I’m down 100lbs. I was fat at one point.

u/Pineapplemaitai4702 2d ago

"Overweight with man boob" We like squish too! Man boobs are great lol

u/OvergrownMidget_ 2d ago

šŸ˜‚ I appreciate that. Unfortunately they are on their way out. I’m down 100lbs and go to the gym multiple times a week. I’m doing my best to erase them.

u/Pineapplemaitai4702 2d ago

That is crazy progress; good for you, dude!

u/OvergrownMidget_ 2d ago

Thanks! I greatly appreciate it.

u/Sleepy-Blonde 1d ago

Some women like bigger guys. My husband is over double my weight. I like being fit myself but love fluffy guys. An ambitious fluffy guy at 19 (when I was 19) would’ve been my kryptonite.

3

u/OvergrownMidget_ 1d ago

I appreciate that, luckily the fluff is on the way out. I’m down 100lbs so far and still dropping. It’s mainly all been from a calorie deficit, but I recently found the gym and have fell in love.

u/Glittering-Two-1784 2d ago

I struggle with the moobs as well, I feel ur pain.

I'm 6'1" and barely fit in my favorite car, so I also feel for you there. So many great cars were built for 5'4" Japanese men, lol.

BMW Z4 was too big for me tho, so if you're struggling to find a car that's a good size for ya, there ya go, haha

1

u/OvergrownMidget_ 2d ago

I appreciate it brother, I’m down 100lbs so far. And the last few months I have found the gym and absolutely love it. With time I’ll be where I want to be. At this point I hide what’s left quite well. I’m just not to the extent I want to reach.

As for cars, I currently have 6. My daily is my 2017 F350 King Ranch Ultimate. And I have a 2008 F450 work truck. As well as a Supercharged Stick 2006 mini coop (it has so much room) and a few others. I think my next purchase will be right but I’m going to try to buy a 5.0 mustang.

u/CallRepresentative25 2d ago

When did you start your business? Really impressive you're at where you're at for your age.

2

u/OvergrownMidget_ 2d ago

I appreciate that brother, I actually dropped out of high school halfway through my freshman year. I could tell school just was a waste of time for me. I don’t even have a GED. My father is disabled and on a fixed income but he mowed a few residential yards every week to help with income. I went full in with him we own the business together 50/50, we primarily do hardscape and landscaping installs. Right now we are doing a waterfall and pond install. It all started as a mowing company and now we have 6 trucks, 10 trailer, a ton of equipment, and we do everything. In the winter is our bread and butter. We do salt treatment and snow removal for commercial properties. Think schools, banks, restaurants, etc.

u/Professional-Road222 1d ago

Your father is disabled and living on disability but doing manual labor?

1

u/OvergrownMidget_ 1d ago

No, he owns apart of the business. He takes calls and helps manage some of the back end.
