So what if I've used drugs and continue to use them? I'm not doing anything as harmful as frequent alcohol and tobacco users. Funny how it's only a "drug" if it's illegal. What a joke.

Whaaaaaa't?

 

 

"Oh, sorry that was the weed talking."

Just because they won't like it or accept it doesn't mean that you don't have a choice about whether to tell the truth. You'd be a happier person if you stopped seeing yourself as powerless against the world.

why not just date likeminded people? There are drug users a-plenty.

If you make choices that people you want to date don't approve of you basically have a few choices.

 

A) Stop doing what they don't approve of.

B) Don't give a **** and find someone who accepts who you are.

C) Accept those people will not tolerate that behavior and move on.

 

You have a choice, it's just a choice you don't like because you can't have your cake and eat it too.

 

Also your argument "but this is just as bad!" doesn't really hold up. Excessive drinking and smoking are usually deal breakers for a lot of people as well.

Dating doesn't force you to lie. But I prefer to lie (or at least manipulate).

 

 

Lordy, here you go again. You are like a one man groundhog day. Maybe you should try to think of something else to say. Just a suggestion.

Umm.. that is the topic of this thread genius!

 

Also, shut up. You're starting to annoy me.

 

Don't be rude, sonny boy.

 

We've heard your silly boasting plenty of times. You say the exact same thing every time you post - what a yawnfest. You have got to be the #2 top most boring and redundant poster here (second to the "awesome thread" guy, who might actually be you, now that I think of it).

 

Anyway, why not go back to one of your 2,038 threads about how fabulously manipulative you are if you feel the urge to reiterate it a few dozen more times? This thread isn't about you.

It sounds as stupid as drug dealers saying on COPS. 'I didn't kill nobody. you guys should go after murderers'

 

It's funny how drug users justify themselves.

 

But I will go with you. Most Americans used drugs at certain point in their life.

I mean this country is infested with all sorts of drugs. I am sure if I talk bad about drug users in any starbucks, some people will get pissed off.

Even current president was a user in the past.

So why hide? be proud to say it. you are not harming anybody.

:lmao::lmao::lmao:

Could you give a bit of context? Is this a dating site where you're required to say whether you are or aren't a drug user? Or is it something a new person you've met has been quizzing you about.

 

Lying and manipulating aside, it would be stupid for a drug user to announce their illegal drug use on a dating site and not much less foolish for them to tell somebody they barely knew. If there is something in your life that might be a dealbreaker, rather than laying it all out on the table for a stranger to rummage through you could simply sound out their views on those issues...and if they express strong judgements against things that are habits or flaws of yours then that's a good sign that the two of you aren't compatible and that there's not much purpose in continuing to see them.

 

If you really like them and want them to think well of you, then that would be a message about lifestyle changes you might need to change in order to get the kind of partner you want. That takes you into the murky territory of not being completely open about things that you're trying to change (but if you fail to make the changes the person will feel misled about you/your lifestyle).

 

It sounds as though you're happy to continue using illegal drugs and don't plan on changing that for anybody. So the best option would seem to be, as others have said, that instead of lying to people who would disapprove of your lifestyle, you focus on dating those who share it.
