👀🎂🔛🥰😍😘💘💔🫶!

Single again. But it's okay.

My take on Valentine's Day.

I rather stay single. The uncertainty of the current economy has me being more isolated and content with aging gracefully. I have a son. The bloodline continues.

When the days are long and nights are short, we are starting to see the decline of the traditional family.

The cost of living has made people step back from raising families. We still have births in the United States. But deaths are growing more.

President Donald J. Trump has opened the door to chaos. Men who felt embolden to confront strangers for social media clout is a product of the bro culture.

I've seen videos on social media of men walking up to random strangers flirting, tapping phones and trying to take inappropriate pictures. This is creepy behavior.

I seen more women date men twice their age. I seen the Jeffrey Epstein files and noticed that a lot of powerful people were in the orbit of Jeffrey Epstein, the country's most notorious pedophile. Again, there is no crime of associating with Epstein. The victims who name their accusers is the only thing that matters. I don't give a fuck about pictures.

Also the honey pots. Women are getting desperate too. They need to make money too.

On social media, I seen a lot of softcore and hardcore adult entertainment. After all, I don't filter content. So I am atone to the explicit content.

Women have to join OnlyFans, Fansly, PornHub and Dejen to make lonely men feel like they are a part of the action.

We live in a society that has rapid changes in culture. The far right wants to stop it from influencing their old ways.

Be aware of the social media dating sites. If the person sends you a message on the first like, delete it. If the person asks you to visit other sites to connect, delete. If you feel pressure to do something because of the match, delete.

Recognizing an Online Dating Scam Artist

Your online "date" may only be interested in your money if he or she:

• Presses you to leave the dating website you met through and to communicate using personal e-mail or instant messaging;
• Professes instant feelings of love;
• Sends you a photograph of himself or herself that looks like something from a glamour magazine;
• Claims to be from the U.S. and is traveling or working overseas;
• Makes plans to visit you but is then unable to do so because of a tragic event; or
• Asks for money for a variety of reasons (travel, medical emergencies, hotel bills, hospitals bills for child or other relative, visas or other official documents, losses from a financial setback or crime victimization).

One way to steer clear of these criminals all together is to stick to online dating websites with nationally known reputations.

After years of trials and error, I finally came to the conclusion that I rather be single than in a committed relationship.

The loss of a job I've loved and helping people who never backed me when I was at my lowest point has me finally waking up to the reality of being a deserted island.

Working a job I despise has made me learn that companies need bodies not good or bad workers. I am hoping to leave the job for something better. Trust me, I still maintain loyalty but it has waned over the years. I am just sick and tired of working for companies that I despise. 

My biggest fear in life is failure. 

I am a single father. I am a surprise father who learned about his birth months later. I never got my moment to be a first time father. It has traumatized me.

I have now learned to date and have no regrets to telling women who want to be in a relationship that I choose to be single. I used to have feelings towards those who cared, but now I could care less about people. I don't hardly get on social media and I choose to be careful about my movements.

I don't care what people say about me in public or in private. I have learned to accept the reality of being single. It wasn't easy at first. I liked a lot of women in the past.

I loved about six in my life. But now I love myself and my son.

I don't worry about Valentine's Day or any special holiday where I would spend lots of money to a woman who doesn't love me. I have to keep my guard up now because I have been through a lot to say the least.

Valentine's Day is perfect day for those who want to get married, want to be an exclusive couple, a birth, a death or a moment in history for an achievement.

I made peace with the women I've dated with in the past. I don't want to be in a relationship right now because I just rather stay focused on making money and getting a home.

I just don't have time for commitments. I don't want to carry the weight of guilt, jealousy or selfishness when it comes to being in a relationship. I have given the past relationships more than one chance. I am through with giving more opportunities to be hurt. 

It's basically me being a bachelor for the time being. I rather be a single dad.

I've only loved a few women in my time. I don't admit I love a person. I feel like I've put too much into a relationship only to be let down or hurt. So I am staying numb to saying love and wanting any relationships.

It's 2026, don't be like Romeo Rose aka Larry Busby.

I was so tired of wasting my time dating women who take advantage of me. I've called myself the dreaded "NICE GUY" who will end up always in the "FRIEND ZONE".

I feel like I'm in the "FRIEND ZONE" and may end up getting a "HIT IT AND QUIT IT" relationship.

The social media websites that attract singles are booming today. Facebook, OKCupid, eHarmony, POF, Bumble, Badoo, Tinder, Coffee Meets Bagel, Match.com, MeetMe, Grindr and Christian Mingle see a spike around the week of Valentine's Day.

Romeo Rose is still alive right?

This guy became a viral sensation and a butt of ridicule. He did an interview in which he went on and said some vicious things about Black women, interracial relationship and women who are overweight.

Since then, he's been blackballed on social media and women often swipe to the left when his face shows up on their social dating websites.

What's Valentine's Day without that racist goofball?

Now going by the name of David Cassanova, this white nationalist is grifting for love.

This guy is a predator. Even looking at him gives me pedophile vibes.

Two young girls were killed after meeting men online for dating.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Yessenia Norman was a beautiful young woman with ambitions.

A teenage girl was allegedly found mutilated with 27 stab wounds after a man she met on a dating app lured her to his apartment.

Yessenia Norman, 18, was reported missing on January 19 four days after she was seen leaving the transitional home she was living at in Phoenix, Arizona, according to local outlet KSAZ. Norman's friends reportedly told authorities that when they last saw her she was leaving to meet a man she met on a dating app.

Police told the outlet that the 18-year-old was found deceased at an apartment in an apartment in Tolleson, which is roughly 20 minutes away from Phoenix. Authorities said Norman was found mutilated with 27 stab wounds and had been covered in blankets and towels.

Suspect mutilated Yessenia in an abandoned apartment.

"I can't imagine, I just can't imagine," Norman's mother told the outlet. "Who would do that to her? I just don't understand."

Investigators learned that the apartment was leased to 27-year-old Randal Basilio Santillan and his ex-wife, per the outlet. Police used license plate readers to track Santillan's vehicle, and learned that he allegedly left the scene of the crime after Norman's death and drove from Arizona to Mississippi over multiple days.

Santillan was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping.

Hailey Buzbee was a young woman who dreamed big.

The Perry County prosecutor has confirmed remains found over the weekend in Wayne National Forest belong to missing Indiana teenager Hailey Buzbee.

Prosecutor Terry Rugg told ABC 6 in a statement, "It has been confirmed that the remains found were those of a missing teenager from Indiana." The remains of the 17-year-old were discovered late Sunday night at a trailhead in Wayne National Forest, near Little Italy Pizza in New Straitsville.

“Stuff happens, it’s scary,” said Chazity Parglin, who works at New Straitsville restaurant, “not something you would expect to see in a smaller area.”

Tyler Thomas, 39, is now facing charges connected to the suburban Indianapolis teen's disappearance.

His attorney, Sam Shamansky, said Thomas turned himself in to police over the weekend and is cooperating with the investigation, including leading investigators to where the 17-year-old was buried.

“We short-circuited that process, deliberately, and helped move this along," Shamansky said.

Thomas is currently held in the Franklin County Jail on a $1.5 million bond, accused of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor and tampering with evidence, both charges connected to Hailey's disappearance.

Shamansky stated that his client is not responsible for the 17-year-old's death but anticipates murder charges to be filed against Thomas in Hocking County, where he will plead not guilty if charged.

The Licking County Coroner's Office performed the autopsy on Hailey, and the report has been sent to the Perry County Coroner's Office. Perry County officials are unable to say when the report will be released.

The suspect has a state and federal sandwich for Buzbee's death.

Prosecutor Rugg told ABC 6 in a statement, "On Sunday, February 1st, 2026, in the late evening hours, a body was recovered in Perry County, Ohio. Out of an abundance of caution, my office was waiting to make any announcement." He expressed sympathies to the victim's family and noted that a joint investigation across several jurisdictions is ongoing.

Rugg said that as more information becomes available and the time is appropriate to release that information, future releases will be made.

Investigators revealed that Thomas and Hailey met on a gaming platform, and he picked her up at her Indianapolis home on Jan. 5.

Authorities say they spent time at Thomas's Victorian Village home and a short-term rental in Hocking County. Investigators believe Hailey died within days of arriving in Ohio.

As the community in New Straitsville awaits further details, Susan Miller, a local resident, said, "I want to see that something is done on that girl’s behalf."
