Ah, no. Someone gave it to you! Women are too weak to take things they want.

You have to acknowledge though that your subset seems to have a common characteristic of having drive…He’s equating a certain career or careers of high stress, seemingly, with driving women to be “broke” by a certain age (mid 30s I believe) … The problem with his argument is, most women who succeed in high stress environments such as corporate America or the medical field at a high level tend to be driven and use physical activity as a stress relief (not to mention there’s been studies connecting physical activity with high cognitive function … so there seems to be some sort of symbiotic relationship between mental and physical performance).
for sure. I was just going by the specific occupations he mentioned, since I’m familiar with a lot of folks in them. I’m also getting the sneaking suspicion that he’s flat out lying about a lot here. I don’t think he’s successful with women, I don’t think he’s seriously dated a doctor or a lawyer. I don’t think he has friends who are high up in the corporate world. Nothing about what he’s saying is ringing true to me. I’m really not even convinced he’s older than 25. Because why in the world would he consistently be talking about guys in their 20’s, and have so much concern with their situation, if he’s not that age himself? Doesn’t add up to me.

This. I worked in a health center until recently, with maybe 20 providers including we psych people. Only one of the female providers (a primary care nurse practitioner) would be considered not-thin, and she’s a huge hiker. Like, Machu Picchu a year or so ago at age 60 or so I would imagine. I would also call the female providers more attractive on average (relative to age) than the general population, whereas the nurses and clerical staff seemed representative of the population at large - some thin, some fat, some pretty, some homely. My former psychiatric nurse practitioner colleague teaches classes at a local gym and is big into Crossfit. Also a big hiker (I live in a hike-y place). She, as it happens, met her husband around the time I met mine, and we got married within a month of each other. Both of our husbands are engineers. We also both did hiking honeymoons in Europe. She’s maybe 35 now and just had her first baby.
I dunno.
Oh, I see I’m not alone in dunno-ing.
Your observation makes sense. We already know that more income correlates to less obesity.
I’ve worked with 4 >$500k income women in Finance. They were all thin. My CFO boss from Germany was a dead wringer for Emilia Earhart.
the only big industry that comes to mind that I see physically wearing people down early is the service industry. And I think there are a handful of reasons for that.
- It’s as high stress as you can find.
- It doesn’t pay a whole lot, so people in it generally don’t have the finances to ‘take care of themselves’ outside of the work place.
- Culturally, service industry people stay out late, drink a lot, party a lot.
I’m not greenguy. I know there are PLENTY of exceptions to this. But I think that’s a pretty accurate description of the service industry culture in general, and it’s not surprising that it would take a physical toll.
Ain’t this the truth.
'tis
I doubt this is your own independent thought based on your own observations. It looks like someone elses philosophy that you’ve latched on to.
I think flip’s service industry breakdown is where my thinking was with hairdressers. In the same way that waitstaff at top restaurants have a different experience compared to someone working at an Applebee’s, in the nicer salons people are paying more, so hairdressers can work less hours. It’s also a slower pace in a nicer environment. In down-market hair places it’s 8-10 hours standing on a concrete floor with your arms raised oddly.
My husband pays under $20 for his haircuts, I pay double that and still am not at anything close to an upscale place. My hairdresser is pretty, but only works a couple of days a week at her mother’s salon and is home with kids the rest of the time. She’s @greenboy’s dream girl, actually. Except she’s taken.

I have repeatedly told you I am talking about what is to come, about the younger generations, my examples are generation Z mainly. I’ve said this maybe 100x fucking times already. So you need to stop with the insults. And Emily needs to stop showing me her pictures lol
This thread truly is something.
You never said it specifically but that is what I’m getting from it. I was married for a little while there, and I’ve always been in multiple relationships stretching 2,3,4,5 years. I lost my virginity at 14, I’ve had steady gfs since high school… maybe that’s why I’m jaded in some ways lol
You are absolutely right on the poverty thing. A lot of Americans have the illusion of doing well, but most aren’t. Americans carry way too much debt.
You want to see my body eh? = D
Get a pic of the dream girl… let me see your standards. I’m sure her insta is public like the rest of these girls these days
No, because I have experienced some of these things first hand. Either in the dating world or in the workplace. I’ve seen the beginnings of the things people are talking about now in the media, youtube, forums.
I saw the push 13+ years ago, little things like “hey we need more women in our office lets hire more women” which wasn’t a big deal because it never seemed like a consorted effort, but now? yeah I dunno.
And I’m totally open to say that relationship/dating scene was could be a local occurrence, especially in some coastal cities I’ve lived in, but since the internet is so prominent with the younger generation I can see it stretching to every corner.
Your humble midwestern girl isn’t going to be the same when she’s bombarded with instagram lifestyles and ideas of being. But i’m open to being totally wrong, and changing my perspective but we’ll see in another 5 years or so if I have to.
Oh, and it’s not all bad. When I was coming out of high school girls hated, absolutely loathed dudes with any type of facial hair, or god forbid body hair. Nowadays I see dudes in high school with more facial hair than me at times.
I’ve acknowledged this multiple times. But this is not and will not be the population at large.
No offense, but you don’t really sound like a keeper. She can do better. And has, as have or will most of the women and girls I’d say positive things about.
oh nooooooooooooooooo
Unless the pic you post is really, really compelling, you won’t do well with the women I think of as 6/10 or better.
Sorry.
where do you reside?
In objective reality, with everyone else in this thread. You should come and visit some time.

At every milestone of justice in the history of the US - the abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, the civil rights movement, desegregation, gay rights, and more - there have always been groups of people protesting on the courthouse steps.
