After you’ve been let down enough by guys, you just start to give the f*ck up. While I would never suggest anyone give up if love is what they want, I do think it’s only natural to simply quit giving a f*ck when it comes to dating, relationships, and all the rest of that BS when you’ve just been disappointed one too many times. Let’s be honest, we’re only given so many f*cks in a lifetime, so it’s best to stop giving them so you don’t run out.
1. GIVING A F*CK IF A FIRST DATES SUCKS.
So, yet another first date sucked? Nope, you’re not shocked. At this point, you just go hoping to score a free meal or so you can put something on your dating blog… that no one even reads anymore because it’s all the same. Not that you give a f*ck, of course.
2. GIVING A F*CK THAT YOUR ONLINE DATING PROFILE PHOTO IS OVER A YEAR OLD.
Granted, you don’t look that different, but even if you did, you don’t really see what the point is. The only people who swipe right on you are either old enough to be your dad or don’t know “your” from “you’re.”
3. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT A GUY WHO’S NOT INTO YOU.
Once upon a time you would have cared, like really f*cking cared, if a guy you liked wasn’t into you. But now you just shrug it off because really, it doesn’t f*cking matter.
4. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT BEING TOO PICKY.
While you used to get sick of people calling you picky, you just don’t give a f*ck about it anymore. Yeah, you’re picky because you’re not settling for a garbage person.
5. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT NOT BEING TEXTED BACK.
Hi loss, right?
6. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK.
Why anyone would give a f*ck about someone else’s relationship status is something you’ll never understand. You don’t give a f*ck about what those people think and certainly don’t take them up on offers to set you up with someone. Everyone thinks they know a “nice guy,” but it’s all BS.
7. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT TRYING TO CHASE SOMEONE.
You may have pursued an object of affection in the past, but no more. You know you deserve to be chased, so your chasing days are long gone.
8. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT NOT HEARING FROM SOMEONE AFTER A ONE-NIGHT STAND.
You’ve dealt with this BS so many times that you just sort of expect it, but you rationalize it by knowing that you got laid — even if it wasn’t the best sex of your life.
9. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT MAKING AN EFFORT ON FIRST DATES.
You know who you are. You know what you want. You know that you’re not going to budge on those things, so you don’t see the point in making some huge effort and presenting yourself as someone else. Besides, you can’t even walk in heels.
10. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT NOT GETTING A PLUS-ONE TO WEDDINGS.
Not that anyone is under any obligation to give you a plus-one if you’re single, but where it once bothered you that you had to roll solo to weddings, now you don’t care. As long as there’s an open bar, that’s all that really matters.
11. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT HAVING TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU’RE SINGLE AT FAMILY GATHERINGS.
For some reason, Grammy just can’t understand why you’re still single when you’re “such a catch.” Well, thanks for the concern, Grammy, I know I’m a catch and that’s WHY I’m single.
12. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT THAT EX WHO KEEPS HANGING AROUND.
Maybe you once thought that you could get back together at some point, if worse came to worse, but now you’re over it. You broke up for a reason and it’s staying that way.
13. GIVING A F*CK ABOUT THE IDEA OF DYING ALONE.
First of all, you’re not going to die alone, but if you did? How many f*cks would you give? You’ll be dead. It’s hard to give f*cks when you’re dead. Not to mention it’s better to die alone than by the side of some f*ck you were never 100 percent into anyway.
