That is very true. So many people get caught up in materialism and own so many possessions that those possessions end up sucking away all of their time, either through excess work to make the payments on them, or through maintenance. People will never be happy when always wanting to evaluate...

Well, then in order to get around all that BS in numbers 2-9, you do like me. You spend several months carefully analyzing the market and industries in which there is going to be a significant shortage of skills. You go to school for several years and get two different degrees, one of which is...

Very true. The decisions we make in life each day all have a direct consequence, be it a positive or a negative one. The same applies to relationships as well. If both of you consistently create negative consequences towards one another, or even if one of you does it, that person will become...

Looks and intelligence to me are huge. For looks for me, it is all in facial beauty as it is the singular part of them I am going to look at the most. They also have to be thin. Intelligence is the other. I expect them to be able to carry out an expanded conversation and that I do not have...

@Dingo You'd be surprised at what some of us younger guys have gone through already

Extremely well said. Couldn't agree more.

I guess it depends on what sort of answer you are looking for here. There is quite a difference between being "spiritual" versus being "religious". I am a quite spiritual person as I believe in God, and am a firm believer in the power of emotion as well as what is behind it along with other...

I've been in two LTRs and I have to say that I wholeheartedly enjoyed both of them. I had a horrendous jealousy issue with one of them though. Despite the fact that one of them knew I was also in a relationship with a friend of hers at the same time, there were several instances where some...

I read all the time at night. If I'm not reading articles on my laptop, I am reading books on programming languages and security pentesting.

My insomnia is so bad these days I can fap before bedtime and still stay awake. I'll get highly fatigued for a bit, but after a short while I'll just shrug those feelings off and I'm wide awake again. Usually average only between 4-6 hours of sleep these days, and some nights, none. As for...

Despite my massive experience in looking at screens and text all day long, even my eyes couldn't decipher that entire block of text. Some paragraphs and punctuation would be quite helpful in eliciting some help from others in the forum. From the few things I could read along with others'...

@Asmodeus People often laugh at the trades but in reality, particularly where I live, a lot of the trade guys earn far more than the guys with the "typical" college degrees (i.e. english, communication, humanities, psychology, etc). We have plumbers, electricians, and HVAC guys around here...

Having an apartment is not a bad thing. Is it the same as the condo you had? No, but it all depends on what you do with it. I used to live in a nice house in the middle of 35 acres of woods, but I moved because I got tired of the hefty maintenance and constant tax increases each year. My...

Job/employment shouldn't be all that important when meeting someone for the first time unless both of you really connect and she has a genuine interest. Usually when I hear someone ask that, what immediately comes to my mind is what exactly are they looking for? The answer I've found is...

There is absolutely nothing worse than having that happen. Some days it feels like it can completely destroy your insides and you feel like you're in an ultimate form of depression, not to mention it can seriously hinder your concentration for important tasks such as work and driving (know from...
