    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You were way younger than I am when you met your wife. Here is the problem, I date women who are usually 28+, and more often 30+. I do not get along with younger women because I have nothing to talk to them about. The issue with what you're saying is, I am so over having to feel like a father...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I completely understand what you're saying. And I don't put a monetary equivalent on principles, but in my experience, even the women around here who seem promisising aren't. And unfortunately for me the ones who are, aren't interested. Seriously. It's a conundrum. I am not good enough for the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Typically aspirations and drive means better earning power. Losers with bad jobs don't have aspirations and drive Tenks. I am very judgmental because of my past relationships. Maybe it's a character flaw but I can't help it.

    Even RNs make a lot of money in the Northeast US. 75k+ in most instances. Which is still upper middle class.

    APRN (nurse practitioners) here in the US make A LOT of money. Yes. Very close to top 5%. That's what privatized healthcare will do.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I do exactly as you say. But I think anyone who still dates at my age will find a correlation between earning power and intellect. The women who are intellectually stimulating to me are always in the same ballpark, the women who aren't intellectually stimulating are teachers and social workers...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    That's the dilemma, that isn't lost on me. I realize that is true. But I still WANT to be with someone who is my equal, and I do meet women who are. Unfortunately for me they almost always expect to meet a man who is their vast superior, and I don't make the cut.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You and I are vastly different. What's dual/income responsibility look like? Because I almost never meet women who are on my level. They act and pretend they are at first, but it becomes evidently clear within a short time frame that they don't even hold a candle. I guess if you're a dude who...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    God I wish that were true. Women around here definitely still expect a man to be more successful and provide for them while they "follow their dream" of being a deadbeat. Let me extrapolate on that. Men are more ambitious than women, they are more likely to work multiple jobs or change...

    It means that you're ignoring what the reality of the state of dating is just because you've gotten yourself out of the dating pool. And now you're acting holier than thou with the stupid "oh generalizations herp derp" nonsense.

    So many idealistic married men in this thread. Keep sticking your head in the sand just because you think you have to pretend there aren't trends in our country now that you're married lest ye offend the delicate sensibilities of your esteemed wife.

    Dude, he didn't put edible vegetables anywhere on any of those dishes, he just put a couple of garnish "veggies" that nobody ever eats anyway. Literally a few leaves. The rest is all junk food.

    The problem is what Tenks is talking about is still the minority, I know because it's what I am looking for and it still isn't a prevalent train of thought in our society. What I originally stated sadly is still the American Dream (TM). I wish it would have shifted already, it's probably an...

    Ok, I understand more where you're coming from now. You're talking about the ideal people hold in their heads about the American Dream vs what the reality is. I agree with you.

    Well... the "American Dream" is basically the man being a dad for his wife and the wife being a mom for her husband. I mean, that literally is the American Dream

    What do you mean "somehow I just don't think she's going to find a 10/10". Of course she isn't. 10/10 is a fantasy, a hollywood ideal. It doesn't exist. 8.5 is pretty fucking good, she's immature and naive.

    I think you're missing what I'm saying. I'm saying of course you're right, different things work for different people, I'm just offering opinions here based on my own personal tastes. Venting about how much I can't stand the "princess" ideal.

    If you aren't attracted you HAVE to say something. Because it's going to end the relationship anyway if you feel that strongly about it. If she decides you telling her she needs to be a responsible human being who has a little pride in herself and how she presents herself to the world is a...

    Truer words cannot be spoken about American women. I love that stupid "fresh off the boat" show because the mother's character honestly is how every non American born Asian woman I've ever met acts. Like Cad said, they understand the importance of status and success but don't waste money on...

    Do not slight yourself in any way. Saying "Though I'm certainly not going to be..." is like saying "Hey I'm average and it's ok if you think you're average too". Which it obviously isn't. You got to put down what you want to pick up! People in general like to feel challenged. It's exciting...

    The lesson here is. Marry an Asian. Also, none of what you married men have been saying sounds like complaining to me honestly. It's just normal everyday venting. Nobody is perfect and is everything you want them to be 100% of the time. There isn't a single person on earth that if I spent...

    Iceman is really fun and satisfying to play. You can choose a lazy summoner build, an active beam weaving ranged build, hybrid versions of the two, and all of them are red raid viable with good TTK and decent survivability.

    You just gotta get better at honing your fatty detection skills. I'm pretty good at it now after years of practice. Typically the biggest indicator a chick is fat is when she has nothing but selfies taken at a downward angle with her face angled to one side. And basically, if she has no body...

    Every. Single. Woman. I have ever dated has called my video games my "other girlfriend". It's like sitting down to play a video game triggers their guilt trip gene.

    Hulk smashes because of his invuln status during knuckleduster and meteor strike animations. But his gamma strike and especially his avalanche leap and cratering stomp suffer from some of the worst animation lock in the game that I've seen. I played Jean to 60 and don't really remember her...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I'm all about saving money, but lying to get a student discount really only makes it so that companies eventually stop offering said student discounts. If enough people do it that is. Don't you guys have grown up jobs? Pay for shit instead of being deadbeats!

    I *think* (or at least the way it was explained to me during my recent re-fi) is that there are appraisal firms/companies that the banks hire out. They don't really have their own appraisers, but rather every single lender will contact whatever appraisal firm(s) in an area and that appraisal...

    I agree with you but it shouldn't really blow your mind. It's the mindset our culture enforces in women. Have you ever watched your kids' shows or movies with them? That shit gets hammered home from a very early age.

    Agreed. They've really nailed down the whole "make everything as annoying as possible" aspect of the game. And they are spending entirely too much time and resources on raids.

    Under 100g a day takes effort? I wouldn't even consider that low carb. It's kind of pointless to choose such an arbitrary number.
