Obssessive Neurotic Leftwing Woman Aggressively Quizzes First Dates About Their Commitment to Climate Justice, Then Actually Admits this in a Newspaper Column

Before getting to that, a "climate scientist" -- an Affluent White Female Liberal, obviously -- documents her "extreme climate grief."

From the former science journal Nature:

A friend sat with me and explained that she had just recovered from an episode of extreme climate grief brought about by studying rapidly changing terrestrial ecosystems. She had started taking weekends off (many of us work seven days a week) and encouraged me to do so, as well. After we talked, I walked around the parking area for a while, listening to the birds and watching the midday light filter through the diverse trees in downtown Santa Barbara. I breathed the ocean air and grounded myself in the present, where the air was cool and the birds were singing.
Soon after that, I started taking weekends off to kayak near my home in Southern California and hike on the trails above Pasadena, and built a small bird garden on the porch of my apartment. I also started talking frankly to my colleagues about the emotional turmoil that is often sparked by working as a climate scientist today, and many others had similar stories. I am in my mid-thirties, working at NASA as a scientist, and I already have five scientist friends with severe, emergent health challenges. They are all affected by overwork, exhaustion and extreme stress. The only other thing they all have in common is that they study climate change.

Another grossly neurotic woman writes a guest essay for the New York Times, showing off her mental illness. Another day that ends in a -y.

What happened: Erica Berry, a female writer from Portland, Ore., announced in a New York Times guest essay that she brings up climate change "on first dates" and refuses to pursue relationships with men who don't share her obsessive thoughts and anxiety about global warming.

What she said: The author describes breaking up with her last boyfriend because he wasn't enthusiastic about having constant "conversations about our planet's future" and how local officials could "support vulnerable citizens through better infrastructure."
* "My boyfriend was supportive of my focus, but he didn't share it," Berry writes of her ex. "When I brought up global warming, he'd often try to comfort me: to wrap me in a hug, cue up an old episode of 'Seinfeld,' offer a CBD gummy."
* Berry has started dating again in the past year. "This time, I am swallowing my fear of sounding too anxious and am talking about climate change early on," she writes. "I don't presume my own perspective is right, but I do know from my last relationship that I'm tired of trying to be chill. I can't care any less than I do."
* She has found that "talking about how global warming affects our lives, however casually, becomes a sort of canary in the coal mine for learning about people's broader beliefs and behaviors," such as "how they engage with science and systemic inequality."
* Sounds like fun!

I have a genuine question. When those of you who are still dating go on a date with a stranger or near-stranger, if the person you're meeting starts talking like this, do you think it's acceptable to just end the date immediately? I'm thinking of a male friend of mine who complained of all the dinners he was buying strange women who never wanted a follow-up date. I mean, that adds up. Can a guy just cancel dinner and say "I'll pay for the drinks, but find your own way home"?

I bet that would result in your name being put on "Bad Date" websites.

But I just don't see the point of wasting an evening talking to a lunatic like this just to keep up appearances. The whole point of a first date is to see how you click. So once you know, you know, right? Pull the ripcord, tear off the bandaid.

Some people might say that what I'm suggesting is just as bad as this woman using a Toxic Screen to weed out any sane people from her dating pool. I don't think so. I'm just saying, if the date is not just a bust but unpleasantly so, why continue wasting more time? Why stand on ceremony?

And money. Let's not forget about the money.

And speaking of Greenwackadoos: Green wackadoos disrupt a corrupt Democrats' fundraiser.

There's a sweet "You assshhaulted me!" lisp from one of the wackadoos.

One of the Climate Whiners screams "We're all gonna die, who cares how rude we are!" To which a Democrat replies, "I don't mind if you die."

I can't believe I agree with a Democrat flack!

Climate protesters interrupt fundraiser for Governor Maura Healey (D-MA).

One attendee told the activists: "If you had half a brain, you would understand... Your rudeness prevents you from talking to her. ... I don't mind if you die." pic.twitter.com/q06rNW37dX

18 Men not cutting off crazy women at the first sign of AWFL behavior is literally why these women exist in the first place. For centuries if not millennia these women were the tolerated eccentric or the persecuted "witch" living on the edge of town. There was strong social pressure to not be completely neurotic (especially if you weren't a spinster or widow of independent means). Simping and misguided politeness has allowed these negative traits to metastasize among the population of women of "marriageable" age, and the effects on society are ghastly.

Mid 30s. So she was thoroughly propagndized in school, made to have a neurotic fear if climate change, then went to college and tried to become the climate scientist who saves the world. But found out that climate research is well funded, but there are many hands in the pot, so the only way to keep the funding coming is a relentless 7 day a week grind to churn out data to support ever more wild theories.

I wouldn't do that, because I'm a gentleman and would suffer through to the end. To be true, I would never be in that position because I don't go on dates with a girl without first texting for a while. If she's a loony-tune, then I'll find that out before it ever gets to a date.

But if you want to just end a date in the middle, then you wouldn't be doing anything girls don't already do. If they aren't liking the date, they will just get up in the middle of the restaurant or whatever and leave. Just like that. How do I know this? No, not because it's happened to me. It's because I have a lot of female friends and they tell me.

66 Have no fear, fellow AoS dudes...we're no longer on the AWFL menu.
The Long-Awaited Rise of the Bisexual Male Heartthrob in TV and Film. We’ve come a long way from Carrie Bradshaw questioning whether bisexuality even exists. I’m happy to report that that dreaded “layover” has finally become a destination, and it’s full of hunks.

We’ve reached a tipping point for depictions of bisexual men in entertainment. Who was once the object of disgust—or utterly invisible—is now on full display on our screens. He’s sunkissed, shirtless, and charming, and protagonists—male and female alike—are entranced. Recent hits like Heartstopper, The Summer I Turned Pretty, and Red, White & Royal Blue herald the arrival of the new bi king, one whose fluid sexuality is no longer treated as a punchline or a cause for concern, but instead an explicit part of his dashing appeal.

this fact makes the bisexual hunk more exciting, and radical, to me: Young people, including some straight ones, observe the casual embrace of a bi male hero’s queerness and they refuse to see it as a catch. Instead, it’s a novel opportunity for their shameless thirst.

80 I have a genuine question. When those of you who are still dating go on a date with a stranger or near-stranger, if the person you're meeting starts talking like this, do you think it's acceptable to just end the date immediately? I'm thinking of a male friend of mine who complained of all the dinners he was buying strange women who never wanted a follow-up date. I mean, that adds up. Can a guy just cancel dinner and say "I'll pay for the drinks, but find your own way home"?

Friend of mine just went on a date. The lady was cute (former Baylor cheerleader) with a good personality. They talked a bit, but my friend doesn't bring things up about his personal life unless asked. She asked about his last serious relationship. He'd mentioned it ended when that broad called his son white trash when posting a picture of himself with his dad at Hooters on Instagram. The date said "oh, I don't like those places either. They objectify women."

He'll see her again, but won't take her seriously as a future partner. Just someone to hang out with on occasion when in that town in the future.

They don't accomplish much in all probability, but they put in the hours. Working that much is counter-productive because of burnout, but plenty of people do it. It's also easier to do it if you're lazy, because you continuously fall behind.

Universal in Orlando is essentially steady, but off its peak. Their other parks (Hollywood and in other countries) are going gangbusters.

On the one hand, you've got all of these "experts" (see the Morning Rant) running around talking about how humans are causing another great "mass extinction event." Then, voila, some weird new species of critter shows up in an unexpected place, and they always say something like "Well, lookie here! We never even suspected such a thing existed. It just goes to show that we have no idea how many undiscovered species are still out there."

Except they're always sure that the new species is already endangered, due to "habitat destruction" or whatever.

And about that "mass extinction event": if you don't even know for sure how many species are on earth to begin with, how can you say that X% of them are going to go extinct in the next X number of years?

As soon as I recognize one of my deal-breakers (something I simply will not accept/tolerate in a partner) which seems to be unchangeable in the woman, I just tell them.

"I really appreciate getting to share some time with you, but [that thing you just said/did] doesn't fit well with me, and it's something I consider very important. Let's just finish this drink and call it a night.

At my age (43), that's almost always well received, the 'first date tension' disappears, and we tend to leave on good terms.

When I was younger, though, and had... different priorities... I'd tough it out through almost anything. Because there was always the potential for boobs, and boobs were more important than finding a good partner.

Men don't have the self-control to cut them off. Men are controlled by their love of boobs.

The other thing these women all have in common: they're very cute. In the right outfits, makeup, and lighting, they're Mannix girls. These men had bad judgment.

149 Sorry just to finish my quiz from the last thread. The answer of how they poisoned the very effective MAGA branding into something dark is...

-------
Jussie Smolett

Friend of Kamala

This is MAGA Country

Very effective. Doesn't matter how ridiculous or that it turned out to be a lie. Like poisoning a jury and then striking your bs from the record. The jury doesn't forget. And people don't forget the image of a young black man set upon and attacked with bleach and a noose along with the word MAGA for five straight days.

And that's how they do it. Like magic.

They poisoned the TEA Party. They poisoned MAGA. They will poison everything we come up with as long as they control the media.

We could call it Sesame Street and they would poison it.

150 In general, yeah, I’d go through with it. At worst, it’s an experience in listening to a completely alien viewpoint which, as a writer, I find useful. I will also, not so much as a teaching but as a response test, take the person seriously and bring up facts or alternate viewpoints. Just to see the response.

It may help that my actual degree is in psychology, so I find this sort of thing interesting.

Not interesting enough for a second date, of course.

This is almost completely hypothetical, however, and not just because at 29 I’m not actively dating. People like the nuthouse in the Times are, or at least were, pretty obvious well before it’s time to ask for a date.

I wiped the tears from her dear little eyes and kissed her and said, "it's OK Honey, I work for Nature and no real adults subscribe to it anyways"
She laughed, I laughed and we vowed to face this bleak future together.

216 Wait a second, bitch. You had a TV? And CBD? And presumably a house? How are you not a Klimate Kulprit, with your electricity burning appliance and your manufactured goods? Throw that shit out, right now. Scratch that. Landfills n shit. Burn it. Wait, scratch that, too. Air pollution. Eat everything down to the foundation and biodegrade it into a horrifying mass of debris-packed feces. It is the only way to appease the climate gods, dumb-dumb. Quit being so dumb. Eat your house.

220 shit like this is why I'm glad I'm married. If a woman started talking to me like this on a first date, I would squirt ink in her face like an octopus and disappear.

I was talking to a guy in his 20s a couple of years ago and he said modern young women only date through dating apps and they get weirded out if a man talks to them in a bar. We've got 2 generations of socially inept kids, and it leads to spoiled brats like these protesters-who all need a hard slap.

The Hooters near me was a sports bar, and the waitresses were dressed very much the way women are on the street -- a T-shirt and shorts. Some of them looked vastly better than the regular run of the female populace, and a few were a bit overweight. This was not a strip bar and the women were not topless. (In a few cases, that was a good thing.)

Food was pretty good and only a little overpriced. this was last February, I think, so it could be $$$ now.

224 215 > I'd just tell her don't worry about the planet, Jesus will fix everything.

I'd ask her if she really cares about people; not humanity, people. There's a vanishingly small probability she cares about people. Then I'd point out that even if her worst fears come true, the planet will be fine and most but not all people will die out. Then I'd point out that this is what she really wants, so she should stop being such a stupid headcase.

243 I will say this about woke topics coming up on dates. If you live in a big blue city like I do, the available ladies are overwhelmingly woke, or at least -- and here's the thing -- THINK THEY HAVE TO BE. A lot of woke nonsense they might babble about is just what they think they're supposed to say, but they don't really believe it or care about it.

So if a topic like "global warming" comes up, I just answer truthfully that it's not something I'm concerned about, and 99% of the time the girl is like "oh okay" and the topic fades away. Then we can get back to the topic that girls REALLY want to talk about: themselves.

244 Reposting, with my usual nic:

One of the areas of science that I follow is the discovery of new species of plants and animals (and fungi, microbes, etc.).

On the one hand, you've got all of these "experts" (see the Morning Rant) running around talking about how humans are causing another great "mass extinction event." Then, voila, some weird new species of critter shows up in an unexpected place, and they always say something like "Well, lookie here! We never even suspected such a thing existed. It just goes to show that we have no idea how many undiscovered species are still out there."

Except they're always sure that the new species is already endangered, due to "habitat destruction" or whatever.

And about that "mass extinction event": if you don't even know for sure how many species are on earth to begin with, how can you say that X% of them are going to go extinct in the next X number of years?

Idiots.

He and I never spoke about "why dad?" until she has been gone about a decade and one night at a family reunion with his children from four women attendant he said- "the thing is son when she was on she was the nicest person I ever met who kept life exciting in a good way."

I did not even realize what or who he was talking about at first....then he said "we would smile at each other when I dropped off patients at the hospital she volunteered at and she was broken down on the side of the world and the way she smiled when I fixed her car." and I realized it was mom he was talking about.

I don't know, I'm in my 30's, and dating is pretty easy / awesome.

Because here's the thing -- most girls SAY they want a soyboy weirdo. And I am certainly surrounded by those types.

But they don't actually mean it. You'd be surprised what these outwardly libtard woke women are actually like one on one.

They don't know / mean anything they say, they're just ... following the crowd because that's what they're supposed to think or say.

So me, being a normal, average looking guy, who actually has opinion on things and knows how to hang a picture -- I'm like the belle of the ball with these chicks. it's pretty wild. If I could go back to high school me and say "dude, some day the women will be throwing themselves at you. trust me" I think it would have solved a lot of my teenaged angst.

273 Many young people are devastated by climate change. But from despair springs action, study suggests. After surveying over 500 British young adults (between the ages of 16 and 24) for their views on climate change and life more generally, the researchers from Imperial College London and the University of Queensland found respondents feel motivated even as they also harbored negative thoughts about the future.

...despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, respondents remained "distressed about climate change." They added, "Our findings also highlight the need for targeted, climate-aware psychosocial support to sustain young people's climate engagement and mental health simultaneously."

Not surprisingly, all of these developments also create and exacerbate anxiety disorders, although those who engage in climate activism do often feel better after doing so.

That last bit is sad. The constant scare mongering drives our youth literally crazy...but activism helps? Can't wait to see the approval for counselors and psychiatrists prescribing going to protests (or gluing themselves to businesses) as "treatment" or "therapy".

If you are serious, may I give you some advice by way of an analogy? (that is a rhetorical question because no one likes advice on how to run a life)

Bitter old gay queens are bitter old gay queens because they have no future and nothing to look forward to, and the only things in the past were fleeting, brief that had no real effect on the world.
If you stay home and refuse to live, you are dead, and have no future. You have to play or you will be irrelevant, and kids are the only immortality that ever existed. Existence hurts, by the way.

You are in a lot of luck though, since there is now an ungodly amount of information on how and why people choose what they do for mates, friends and spouses. If you learn the rules, you can play the game and you get to choose the way you like it. There is no manual but there are tip books

The guy did not drive to the place, my friend had picked him up and given him a ride, so he was stranded. He eventually called my friend and asked her to pick him up on the side of the road, but the damage was done. Any excuse he'd come up with was blown up, because the sister-in-law had joined my friend in the booth and informed her that the dude was her sister's husband.

285 I am in my mid-thirties, working at NASA as a scientist, and I already have five scientist friends with severe, emergent health challenges. They are all affected by overwork, exhaustion and extreme stress. The only other thing they all have in common is that they study climate change.

Yes, yes, the stress of being a 'Climate Scientist' at NASA must be incredible. I suggest stress-reducing drugs.

As an aside, her middle name is 'Rain'. Make of that what you will.

My favorite NASA scientist was Felisa Wolfe-Simon, whose epic discovery of arsenic-eating algae was rolled out with a huge fanfare by fellow scientists. There are YouTube videos of that...whole panels of scientists applauding her.

The problem? It was junk science, completely refuted...after being touted in national news. The revelation that it was not true drew no headlines at all.

Went on a date with a gal who was used to being taken care of. Her last BF was some big time finance guy. I was decidedly not that.

Somehow, my shining personality won out and we go to dinner. At the end of the date, my brand new debit card was declined because my dumb butt forgot to activate it.

No amount of explanation is going to make someone believe you're not just broke.

That said, we did go out again after that.

Oh, 100%. And most of the girls I know openly admit it. Like they're bitter that they were so "career oriented" in their early 20's (none of them have real jobs, by the way. They have fake girl jobs, like posting on twitter all day and saying they're in "marketing") and now they can't find a "good guy" to settle down with.

One girl I went on a few dates with said she just wants to quit her job and be a "stay at home." I said "stay at home mom, or...?" and she said "I don't know. Just a stay at home. My grandmother never worked, she cooked and cleaned and took care of the house and was the happiest person I know."

The last relationship I earnestly tried, we were the same age, both single, same ethnicity, christian background. She went off on me not respecting her "boundaries" due to a circumstance she completely got wrong and refused to apologize for.

No doubt she is in her 40s now and wondering why she is still barren and single

Yeah, i don't think I did her comment justice. It was pretty humorous and self deprecating when she said it to me.

Basically the context was that everything girls are taught is a lie -- that 1950's housewives were basically slaves and that what women REALLY want is to go to work every day their entire lives.

When I think most women realize at some point in their late 20's that "shit, this sucks. Why did I want this again? I'm working my ass off to live in a shitty apartment, many of my friends are married or in serious relationships, and I just sit on my couch in my sweat pants every night after working drinking wine, eating take out, and watching Friends re-runs."

I'm just gonna say... the old guide to good manners on dates said that a woman should always carry money on a date, just in case something happens to the fellow's wallet.

Y'know, so the two of you don't end up washing dishes in the back to pay for your meal.

The gal isn't supposed to hold it against the guy unless he does it twice. Then you can suspect that he's doing it deliberately, and quietly lose his number.

If you're on an iphone and the other person has an iphone, you can send iMessages (blue texts), which include the ability to react to texts or reply to specific texts, etc.

If you're both on android, you can do the same.

If one is on android and one is on an iphone, you revert to sms texts like it's 1999, and it's really annoying.

...And who has android phones? Old people, super nerdy tech guys, and poor people.

So if you're texting with someone who is not old or a nerdy tech guy and they respond with a green text ... well, ya know. (I'm at least 1/2 joking. Some not poor people also have androids, I know.)

367 I will say this about woke topics coming up on dates. If you live in a big blue city like I do, the available ladies are overwhelmingly woke, or at least -- and here's the thing -- THINK THEY HAVE TO BE. A lot of woke nonsense they might babble about is just what they think they're supposed to say, but they don't really believe it or care about it.

So if a topic like "global warming" comes up, I just answer truthfully that it's not something I'm concerned about, and 99% of the time the girl is like "oh okay" and the topic fades away. Then we can get back to the topic that girls REALLY want to talk about: themselves.

423 I have a genuine question. When those of you who are still dating go on a date with a stranger or near-stranger, if the person you're meeting starts talking like this, do you think it's acceptable to just end the date immediately? I'm thinking of a male friend of mine who complained of all the dinners he was buying strange women who never wanted a follow-up date. I mean, that adds up. Can a guy just cancel dinner and say "I'll pay for the drinks, but find your own way home"?

Leasing in an of itself isn’t a bad thing. But most people have no clue how they work and get ducked hard on them.

A $60k Lexus should be about $600-700 a month with a very minimal down payment. Rule of thumb is a lease is a good deal at about 1% of msrp a month.

Well, this is sort of the problem that I'm arguing many women have.

If you could see income would a woman pick a guy making say 100K over one making 80K? Yes I think most would "all else being equal". And of course 200K or 500K or whatever would be even better.

But...you can't really see that on a date. You can see what he drives, what he wears, and what he says his hobbies are.

Oh...and one more that women are always interested in on the first date...what do you do for work? Are you a manager? Etc...etc...etc...which is a back door way to find out how much you earn. But those are the smarter women investigating me like that TBH.

Lease rates have everything to do with depreciation, which is one of the reason luxury cars (which tend to depreciate like falling stones) often have big lease rates.

You will be paying the depreciation, plus administration costs, plus profit to the leasing company. The more brutal the depreciation, the higher the lease cost as a percentage of the original sticker.

It really is not a numbers game, you can run it like that and sometimes it is fun, but it is not a numbers game anymore than grinding through some game is the best way to play it.
there are a lot of information out there, even podcasters talk about it, Chris Williams' Modern Wisdom has people on about it from time to time, and he has a more mellifluous voice than, say, Gad Saad.

it is going to come down to "what do I want" and "what am I willing to compromise on" Because any woman who is serious and realistic is also looking at that.

Leasing has 4 components. Depreciation rate, money factor (interest rate), length of lease and selling price as a % of msrp. Msrp and depreciation is fixed. Everything else is negotiable.

All those move around a lot depending on several factors. Lexus holds it value very well, but Toyota also doesn’t provide incentives. Range stover values plummet like a rock but RR gives lots of incentives. It takes some time and research but getting kick ass lease deals on luxury can be done. I

485 If you could see income would a woman pick a guy making say 100K over one making 80K? Yes I think most would "all else being equal". And of course 200K or 500K or whatever would be even better.

But...you can't really see that on a date. You can see what he drives, what he wears, and what he says his hobbies are.

Oh...and one more that women are always interested in on the first date...what do you do for work? Are you a manager? Etc...etc...etc...which is a back door way to find out how much you earn. But those are the smarter women investigating me like that TBH.

I think a lot of these discussions are happening for those who live in the "Swipe Right" world.

Which is not a world I want to live in anyway, but IF I found myself on a date with a woman, and she asked me how much money I make, my answer would be something like "Enough. And I'm not interested in any woman who needs to know, because I'm not looking to take on more debt."

Of course there is a line between gold digger and “can I see a comfortable life with this guy”. Like everything else there are extremes. Generally speaking your average woman wants to be with a guy who will be in a good financial place long term. And I’d don’t see a problem with that.

That's what we do with our dogs during a bad thunderstorm. This poor guy didn't have a girlfriend; he had a puppy.

549 "I have a genuine question. When those of you who are still dating go on a date with a stranger or near-stranger, if the person you're meeting starts talking like this, do you think it's acceptable to just end the date immediately? I'm thinking of a male friend of mine who complained of all the dinners he was buying strange women who never wanted a follow-up date. I mean, that adds up. Can a guy just cancel dinner and say "I'll pay for the drinks, but find your own way home"?"

More and more, men are doing just that. First sign of a red flag (fucking with their phone during the date, etc), they asked for separate checks and bail. One guy I watched a video of had a girl try to invite a guy to their dinner date, and he bailed out the back leaving her (and the guest) with the check.

I mean, would you go to a bar where the waiters were all Studly McStuds without shirts? I wouldn't, so I understand why women wouldn't want to go to Hooters.
Posted by: Elric Blade at August 25, 2023 02:43 PM (iFTx/)

I don't like the place because if the big sell is that the waitresses have big boobs, the food is going to inevitably be shit. I can see boobs for free on the intertubes, and for live, unclothed boobs (which I can't touch) I can go to a strip club.

Plus, the last time I was in a Hooters (I got roped into it for a work thing), it was obvious that standards for the wait staff had fallen, IYKWIM.

551 After (very late lunch during which we drank) we talked, I walked, alone, around the parking lot area for a while, listening to the birds and watching the midday light filter through the 'diverse trees in downtown Santa Barbara.' And though I had driven to meet the friend in downtown SB, halleluiah, the ocean air was cool and I grounded myself mentally in that parking lot.

Many of us work seven days a week; I for one as a NASA Scientist, where do what all NASA scientists do, groundbreaking research across earth science, planetary science, heliophysics and astrophysics to answer some of the most profound questions facing humanity. Seven days a week, on the taxpayers' dime, making but an additional 33.61% more than the GS base pay rates to account for local cost of living.

I already have five scientist friends with severe, emergent health challenges." But, alas, they're not working for the Federal government and luckily, to save time writing my\ tragedy, I found that quoted description on a number of posts allegedly by both men & women, or whatever.

To save myself, I'm switching to planetary science & I hope my friends can also find a path to mental health. Nano, nano.

553 Anyone else notice the tremendous diversity at Maura's posh gathering? Can you get richer and whiter? (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) How far up Nantucket's ass did Maura go to prove she's working hard for Mattapan? Or is it all just a lie? Say it ain't so!

554 Because a lot of men have decided to be losers, but they still somehow manage to resent that losers can't pull chicks. It ain't just women being crazy af.

At the end of the day, get pissed if you like ladies, women are like rabid dogs.

You walk into a situation with a German Shepherd, or Pit Bull, or whatever ? Do not show fear. Don't act like you want to pet them. Do that for about five minutes. They'll beg you to pet them after that.

558 552: I look at that situation thus: women have special rights and privileges. But once they step into a man’s world like what you describe there, they are treated accordingly.

I usually watch my language around women, but if they start swearing, game over. (That doesn’t offend me. Most women I know will have to live to be 200 to catch up to my mother. She can and has put anyone to shame with her language.)

Posted by: Montec at August 25, 2023 03:30 PM (YyswZ)

At a certain point, she should, and so should he, when things are getting serious and you're deciding whether you want to enter into about 50 implicit contracts together that it would take lawyers and courts to blast you out of, and which will financially wreck the both of you, unless you are both extremely sensible and level headed people during a time like that (and most aren't.)

Yeah, then it's time to talk about money, and MANY other things too. Talk then, at length, or pay dearly later.

I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning 16,000 US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply.

567 There are way too many nut job women running around. They get worse as they "mature" and collect cats. These Karens can be spotted a mile off. They have the looks of Mooochelle, the charms of Joy Behar, the intelligence of Whoppi, the sex appeal of Waters, and the grace of Brandon.

I actually dated a gal not unlike Ms. Berry, though mine was a liberal activist for the Arts. Worked at a Major University.... I was moderate when I met her, but her saying things like "I would never date a conservative" actually drove me AWAY from liberalism.
But she was beautiful so I put up with it...sleep walking so to speak..i just eventually woke up.
Anybody Remember when we used to not talk about politics or religion? Anybody know couple who were married a long time and never agreed on politics?
I do. Or rather I did.
