yea i hear ya man, different approaches can get to the same end result. not wanting to deal with the nagging is understandable. but sometimes girls act up because they want to be put in their place. in fact ive known several girls who literally told me that
when i was much younger i used to enjoy doing that kind of thing. in fact if i like a girl i will spoil her a little bit, but it has to be something that i decide to do. i cant deal with a girl who tries to force that.Merica

Almost every girl I've ever dated expects it to an extent. Some will be more willing to go 50/50 on stuff (although I'll usually end up paying more overall) vs. others who'll quite happily let you keep paying and not feel an ounce of guilt.
Basically, some women will exploit that protect/provide instinct.𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖘𝖊 𝖆 𝖈𝖍𝖊𝖈𝕶, 𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖘𝖊 𝖆 𝖇𝖎𝖙𝖈𝖍

Back when I dated I treated on the first date. If there was no desire for the woman to treat on the 2nd it was over there. Weeded out a lot of women that way.
No hate to women but I find it ironic there is a large portion of females who champion for equal pay but at the same time get highly offended by the thought of equal financial responsibility.

If your net worth is high, best to not tell anyone - even friends. If you live modestly, drive a modest car (like many wealthy people do) then you’ll have genuine friends who are hanging around you for you, not your money.
The funny thing is many people who are buried in debt, might want to impress people by always paying, and showing off their assets. They’re bragging to look wealthy but actual wealthy people usually don’t do that.

Nailed it.
Nobody knows, my close friend has some idea because he asked and kept guessing, but it's lowballed. Although IDK if "high" - not as high as mgftp.

What is a small dose of snow in FL? One flake?
lmao... I am srsly poor AF cuz... I have pretty good savings habits and controlled spending, coupled with a woman who has a decent income and helps pay bills. Now those things combined have put me in better retirement position than most guys I know that make much more than I do. But that's because your average person is a moron with finances.

its true that girls expect it, and to an extent thats reasonable but the ones who demand it and expect that you break yourself and your bank account for her arent worth the time to be considered girlfriends. thats selfishness and those girls deserve to get dumped and left heartbroken
i hear ya man. honestly i think whats more worrisome is the extent of it. it would appear this phenomenon is more widespread than a few random rappers making videos that are obviously meant to represent satanic rituals
even music like this is questionable. but i cant stop listening to it

It's time to take out phrases like "I can't" or "I don't have time" and replace them with phrases like "I will make the time" and "I will keep working at it until I find a way that works." Success starts with the right mindset and believing in yourself and your dreams.

Yea. I am glad tbh. My woman and I were a hard no to the typical larger gathering my family does but we were somewhat open to a get together with just those in NY, 5 total. We didn't want to be the only ones saying no to that but honestly happy it isn't happening. Just not worth the risk, no matter how small that risk is. Hopefully we are back to normal next year. One small Christmas with my girl and dogs isn't going to be the end of the world, in fact, in some ways it'll be nice.
As time goes on I know more and more people that have had it and been relatively fine to badly sick at worst. But just recently I know a woman who got it whose husband was hospitalized, fine shape, no conditions, etc. I think this who think becoming a political debate is sad because there is a real risk, just look at the numbers. Enough of a risk for us to shut down businesses? Well that's not for me to decide but we can;t have the whole US turn into these pockets where hospitals are at capacity.

Problem is a lot of people are treating the virus as a nothing, not wearing a mask and not socially distancing, having large gatherings, etc. It’s fueling the spread. The virus can be just as deadly to a healthy young person as it can to an older person. And just because you may survive the virus doesn’t necessarily guarantee a full recovery. They’re finding many people formally healthy are having lasting complications from it.
It really pisses me off to hear about the poor health care workers who are sacrificing their lives working 24/7 to care for the sick and dying, and still have to beg people to take precautions. It’s so wrong and ****ed up.Last edited by health4life24; 12-06-2020 at 04:36 AM.

You have science and medical professionals who try to educate the public on the threat and what steps people should take to protect themselves and others from the virus and then you have politicians and leaders choosing to downplay the severity of the virus and then others who are listening to the scientists / infectious disease specialists and trying to take the right steps. There’s no solid plan where everyone is working together. It’s like a free for all.Last edited by health4life24; 12-06-2020 at 09:57 AM.

You don't appear to be applying probability and risk here. But that's up to you as an individual what precaution you want to take for your particular situation.
But if I want to take a risk to eat at a restaurant, I should be able to. If I want to play sports for my mental health and take some risk, I should be able to.
The govt needs to stay out of enforcing lockdowns and on deciding what's "essential". They are not the arbiters for what's essential for anyone, particular for their own mental health.
I personally do wear masks indoors and socially distance. If a private business is open that does not enforce those rules, they'll lose my business.𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖘𝖊 𝖆 𝖈𝖍𝖊𝖈𝕶, 𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖘𝖊 𝖆 𝖇𝖎𝖙𝖈𝖍

I get what you’re saying but:
In times of crisis and a threat to public health it isn’t a violation of anyone’s rights to close down restaurants and bars, etc. in the name public health and trying to slow the spread of a deadly virus. People are choosing to turn it into a political / violation of your rights issue.
The same people don’t seem to get that if everyone just did what they were supposed to we likely wouldn’t be in as bad of a situation we are in now where more lockdowns and closures are necessary. People fighting the public health measures are just fueling more restrictions and spread of the virus.
My mother works in a hospital and has seen what this virus is doing to people.
Regardless if we have a difference of opinion I want the same thing that everyone here wants, to get through this and back to our lives.Last edited by health4life24; 12-08-2020 at 12:52 AM.

Government needs to step in at times. Reason we have laws like speed limits and driving while intoxicated. Some people aren't intelligent enough to operate with free will and it can not just effect them, but those around them.. When it comes to Coronavirus we have hospitals overflowing in some areas. Someone shouldn't be unable to get medical care because their neighbor's are too stupid to practice basic Covid suggestions. I'd also argue we hear a lot about the hit to our economy and how it has hurt businesses which it has. When we need to setup overflow hospitals, fly in military medical personal, etc, etc, there is a financial cost to that as well that many people don't seem to think about, but then will complain when their taxes go up.

I think there should’ve been a national mandate with social distancing and masks, from the beginning. Governors from state to state, all vary in their responses. Supposedly Biden is mandating masks for the first 100 days when he takes office. It’s so sad that many anti-maskers actually view masks as infringing on their rights.
I work for a global firm and my coworkers in Asia and the UK just shake their heads at us Americans not being able to follow basic safety rules. -_-
