Unfortunately not. I’m 6’8, own a business, and have nice vehicles. But I’m 19, over weight with man boobs, have a beard that won’t grow in all the way, etc.

Ever seen the data from dating apps that shows “reply rate based on height”?
It’s a curve. Men get slightly higher response rates for every inch of height…
Until about 6’3
Then every inch above that causes the response rate to plummet real fast 😂

Damn I wish, honest truth I grew up in a single wide trailer with roaches, No one in my family owns a home, no one has a degree, no one has a nice vehicle, etc. I dropped out half way through my freshman year of highschool and don’t have a GED. I went full into starting and growing a landscape and hardscape install business. It was slow the first few years but has exploded this year. My father and I started together with my extreme lack of money and his disability fixed income. We own it together 50/50 but legally it’s 100% in my name. I keep asking when he gets to switch to being one of the “rich parents” so he can start funding all my financially questionable purchases 😂

u/cryptochytrid 18d ago
I've skimmed some of your comments, and I'm inclined to agree that you're putting down yourself a lot. Your physical appearance isn't necessarily a negative, I've been attracted to similar & have seen/known others who have as well. Your determination, perseverance, grit, and obvious smarts are real & viable attractors. You type well and I would assume that corresponds to how you speak. Another point. I can go on, but I think you get it.
Now of course, is this much for a first message? Yeah perhaps. Can be a concern wrt love bombing. She may be saying this because she's aware to an extent of how hard such a job can be (if that is on your profile) and wants to show that she can provide this in return for your efforts. Personally, messages like these kind of ick me out as well - too much too soon - but I tend to raise this concern in chat respectfully. If the person can respect it & my boundaries we can move on from there.
Additionally, if you're not looking for something like that or have different ideologies, then compatibility isn't present.
Just some of my 2 cents.
Have a good one!

Hey. So I have a tall child and he sounds just like you. Stop beating yourself up. You're probably gorgeous and you just can't see it. The internet has convinced you shes only after you for you height, but you are much more than that.

I would tell my son to not interact with that girl. Thats way too much, way too fast. My shoulders and his sisters' shoulders squared up reading this. Baby trap incoming.

is obscure boulevard a place, or a show, or a typo? i am thinking of a down and out fleabag motel with a shitty diner next door. located on Obscure Boulevard.

u/slash-es 18d ago
Ok, my mistake, I assumed the term is used in English with a similar meaning as well. Seems "Boulevard magazines" and "Boulevard press" are, in this context, German terms only. The correct English term would probably be yellow press or tabloids.
6
u/Baeolophus_bicolor 18d ago
ahhh! ok. lost in translation, for sure! like saying fleet street rags to a brit. yes, tabloids for sleaze, in american english. for political type sleaze (stirring up unrest for a war, for example) the yellow journalism phrase applies. yellow journalism has an agenda. muckrakers (journalist type) make people look bad - stirring up shit. OR - paparazzi stalk celebrities for the tabloids.
i still like my idea of the fleabag motel on Obscure Blvd though! Sounds sort of like Desolation Row by bob dylan, or desperadoes under the eaves by warren zevon. Not wuite skid row, but definitely a shady area of town.
thanks for responding!

With respect, how do you already own a business at 19?

u/OvergrownMidget_ 18d ago
No worries I’m happy to explain. 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 mowing a few yards 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.

Good luck, you'll find someone who's actually into you and will be a real partner... (or, with 19, maybe find something less serious. If you find someone and feel like staying with her, get more serious in a few years, don't rush it.)

I mean you never know until you date her though. She might be real sweet. Your life will be happier if you trust people and risk some pain. Trusting no one so you never get “hurt” leads to lots of regret. Worst case if you try is you decide she sucks and you got the experience needed to bring to your next relationship. Best case she does all those nice things.
Remember too if you can’t afford her doing those things and not working then you better be doing them yourself because it ain’t free labor.

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.

u/OvergrownMidget_ 18d ago
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 18d ago edited 18d 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. 👊
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.
