In reality men are because women seek men who will be, amongst other things, stubborn. Confidence, power and spontaneity are three things in men that women adore precisely because these things make a man who will defy her expectations. Every out-of-love woman makes an endless list of demands as a conscious or subconscious way of filtering out yes men, but she is not actually being stubborn because she does NOT want her own way, she does NOT want to lead.
That's another point. And This may be different for the OP because he isn't Western, but generally speaking are older people actually more mature, knowledgable and better for conversation?
I mean, people over 75 we can look at as being the kind of wise elders we remember our(great)grandparents to be, but that generation aged from about 40 to 70 just seems to sink into an adolescent abyss of apathy and indifference not dissimilar to how my own generation was as teenagers, there seems to be little marked difference in seriousness between those aged 15 and those aged 50.
Yes, yes it is weird. Weird AND Beta. If we liken the typical cougar to a 1975 Toyota Corolla with 250,000 miles on the clock, then we have to ask ourselves what kind of a man buys a car like this?
My personal technique was to get so steaming drunk that I didn't want to even look at a cigarette for the next two days of my horrendous hangover, then go cold turkey from there.
And it worked well enough. I now only smoke when I go out drinking, which is far less often than many people may think.
I hope the men on here - ones not interested indating women way beneath them - understand that the reason why women so publicly talk of trust is because privately they're turned on by jealousy. By speaking of trust they are trying to compensate for an inherent susceptibility to the kind of men that make them jealous(which are often cheaters), and how they will endlessly forgive these men.
Whilst the temptation is strong to cast off the fallen American woman and import yourself a feminine woman who is a proper grown-up and everything, don't go for an obvious scam when there are literally millions of loyal foreign women with a sense of gratitude that only hunger and poverty can breed.
The man is a boring gimp and so is anybody that likes him. I only hope that he doesn't come back to the UK looking for work. If he does could you please have him assassinated before he leaves? Or at least do something to his voicebox?
It's a typical male, and to a lesser extent female, response to ask a load of questions as a means of forcing rapport. Not that there's anything wrong with asking questions, but there is when it comes with that whole joyless/scripted vibe.
For most people it's just a way getting to know each other that's better than the phone. Only a few people are scammers(which you should be able to tell who they are), and even fewer people are interested in recording you.
Don't get naked on cam, don't give your bank details and you'll be fine.
But renewables where you generate your own power, such as solar panels on the roof, whilst remaining on-grid are far less cost-efficient than people think. It's being masked for the moment due to the political will towards renewables energies, but what will ultimately happen is that these people will have to bear the true cost of having two separate infrastructures for their energy supply, which will most probably mean taxing the energy that you produce yourself in order to finance and maintain the traditional grid.
No consumer using solar is going to save the money that they think they're going to. This is for certain. And they'll most probably appear foolish over the coming decades when something much better inevitably comes along.
I think the danger is that users with not much going in their lives forget that they are online and amongst strangers and start to police what is and isn't said.
In theory the internet should be, for better or worse, a bastion of free speech because it's so impersonal and meaningless. It should be a place for differing opinions, heated debates, varieties of humour and experimentation free from the dulling and regimenting effects of politesse and correctness.
Love comes first and then marriage as a loveless marriage is a husk, and finally happiness & money because people sacrifice these things to love & marriage all of the time. Most of your aimless thrills and dumb joys are sidelined when you're in love anyway as love, which often involves being severely unhappy, leads to a true happiness and greater passion which far outweighs the contentment of the loner's pleasure zone.
A lot of young girls can't cook, even the ones that bake cakes all the time now that feminism's gone out of fashion still often can't put a basic meal together, and so I'm endlessly forgiving women for their lack of culinary skills.
What's important is that she'll learn, and she will if she knows what's good for her.
70% of Brits have probably never even been to a museum, so of course they're going to vote yes. And besides the Greeks would probably sell them for some magic beans.
