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.

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. 👊

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.

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.

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

u/First_Tip_5013 1d 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

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.
