On the topic of arm candy... I used to love getting looks from males and females when they saw me with my girl. I'd look out for that and it'd boost my ego. I liked having my friends almost uncomfortable around my girl when she put on that one dress where she'd have people around her trying to look without getting caught (but I'd always catch them). Going to the bathroom when you're out at a club and having a guy (or a few) surrounding your girl then the look on their f ace when they realize she's yours. It's empowering. My confidence wasn't that high back then and I almost needed that to make myself feel better about myself. Even on NT we post the girls we are smashing and even though we are most times just sharing the action with the NT fam, were also looking for props.
I will say that when you find a partner you truly love and never get sick of her presence, that wanting arm candy takes a back seat. It's still there for me. Like my chick looks good and is approached a lot. But I've noticed that when I go out with her we are just in our own world and I don't look for those external reactions to give me validation any more. I know what I have is real and it's what I want and others opinions no longer matter to me.
I used to care, a lot. I was pretty vein. Girl I'm with now I'm just as attracted, if not more, to what she has to offer besides her looks and we just mesh so well together I'm happy and content.
Now I do still be looking at other girls ALL the damn time. But I'm not gonna act on it because my girl holds me down and I know that's only be a temporary, fleeting moment of joy with any other girl.
This is why I thoroughly enjoy reading your post bro...
It's like you're able to put in words of how I think and what I'm going through.
My Ex was a complete DIME. Had every ******* dude thirsty for her everytime we went out. Dudes at work got written up or walked out because of her filing harassment.
Very high maintenance girl, but given her physical looks, I understood why. But eventually I realized that it's all it was... I was in it for the looks and "props" factor.
We grew apart and eventually separated! But still a very good person and friend and somewhat unfortunate we didn't work out.
But this new chick I'm with.... Character and Personality wise is everything my Ex wasn't.
