Divorce Thread better than book thread

[grapedrink]

From what I've seen the dating apps always seem like an amazing opportunity (in the beginning).

You can definitely tear it up on them. Although I don’t think it makes you more likely to find someone you are actually compatible with. In the beginning it was desktop sites like eHarmony and Match where people actually read profiles. With the mobile swipe stuff I imagine it’s gotten exponentially more shallow.

The most brilliant of them all is Bumble, where men can only message women who message them. Women think this is an advantage, because they are no longer inundated with idiots, however it actually benefits men because it puts them in the power position to decide whether or not to respond.

But, they are still several years away from opening (at the earliest) so i don't have to make any decisions until 401k mandatory distributions kick in

Fixed

In 1888, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche first stated, “Out of life's school of war—what doesn't kill me, makes me stronger.”

One divorce here. Long time ago. I didn’t have to give up anything that couldn’t be replaced within a year.

27th anniversary this week. Hard to believe. Any gift ideas for the wife that has everything? In the past I’ve got her washing machines, lawnmowers and other yard work stuff, power washer… if she wants something she buys it herself.

Loan? She owns a couple of million in property free and clear. She favors machete work. Would teach you a thing or two.

If this is the case, one of our property keeper guys is going back to Nicaragua to see his family....we've got a fair amount of dry brush to cut before it gets any drier....if she really favors machete work that is. A practical sensible and property saavy wife is one of the keys to living close to the ocean.

You can’t come close to affording her. Your wife can’t do it? Cut green, burn when it dries. Start there. The drier it is, the harder to cut.

Mine prob would w/o a doubt, just in the sense of fellowship I wanted to extend this opportunity in case things weren't as rosey as I've now come to understand Mr. Ogre...and yes, i know a thing or two about cutting brush, its a new property on a ridge facing WNW so its rapidly becoming as crispy as a Mojave taco shell given the influence of El Nino, besides cutting green during the rainy season in an area that rainfall can vary between 65" - 90" is not the same thing as cutting green in Southern California. But next year will be ready for sure.

Probably would? As I’ve said before it’s an acquired skill that you learn from childhood. Like dealing with cattle. Put the blade down before you hurt yourself. Or not.

i set up a Hinge profile last week, just to pass the time while the movers were doing their thing. Holy smokes, there are a lot of attractive successful women in New York happy to meet a man with a job and a full head of hair

NY is the easiest place on earth to meet chicks.

You're new to this sick world of dating apps I take it?

I say that not jokingly.

the apps suck - but if you werent already married how woul go about meeting girls?

Zihuatanejo in Nahuatl is Place of beautiful women

Place of women of little value.

Either way.

In my work environment there are plenty of single women.

But, in another scenario, yeah I get you. It can't be easy.

At the same time I think the apps are symbolic of the natural laziness technology has bestowed - it's just "less of a hassle" to use an app. Trading our humanity for ease.

Think about it - at no other time in history (other than kings, whorehouses, and freaks searching mailorder brides) have men selected from a menu of women in such a way.

And then the women go meet the men - complete strangers - like a craigslist or classified ad.

It's pretty gross that it's come to this.

yea my work enviroment = WFH. also never liked to sh!t where i eat and the bitches on my zooms are fugly.

mostly agree but theres nothing lazy about the apps - you gotta be on there - doing it to get results and you start from scratch with every new girl. lazy in the sense you dont gotta leave the house but your working for it thats for sure.

i do trip out that girls will just go to a place i suggest like i couldnt be a complete pshyco. public places an all that but girls have hopped in the whip with me aftwer our first date and im like - wow. id never trust someone i jsut met.

freind scored a new wife on match. she came with a trophy house and mid 7 figure salary. he's still retired. tells her colleagues he surfs when they ask what he does.

what could possibly go wrong

Just leaving the house seems problematic for people these days.

Going out and meeting people IRL must feel like climbing Everest for many.

The only working is the fingers swiping and playing the texting (mind) game, ass firmly planted on the couch (or toilet)

IMHO if considered acceptable many/most women would far prefer a polygamous marriage to no marriage/no children.

Easy there Brigham Young.
