I liked the sentiment, not the story. That sounds awful

I did that with a girlfriend of two years. I wanted out. She wanted out. When she tried to get me to talk in person I realized what a pain in the ass that was going to be so I said just tell me now. At which point she called and we had the nicest conversation we'd shared in weeks and parted ways forever. Basically…

spouse could also die early

technically Michelle is more like child number five

or change his mind in a few months

There's also an adult's perspective to account for. When I was a child the ugliness of life had an allure because, though empathetic, I didn't yet know the value of other human beings or the extent of their misery

I am 30 years old and probably done with school. I don't generally consider myself to be poor for a single man. I just work in a creative field and don't make that much money. My family was basically homeless for a while when I was growing up(relatives took us in) and I served in Afghanistan in a place where the…

you are literally living in my worst nightmare. I hate this band so much. When they got big a couple years ago all my normcore friends were real into them and I'd just want to die whenever they talked about them or worse yell "mediocre cover band"

if she was she'd probably have less need for a fake number

They're part of the Disney internship program. They work a season at a time like a lot of kids do a semester abroad. Most end up working for longer than that because you have to work a certain amount a season to be guaranteed a job after graduation.

my friend used to give out a fake number in bars that when called told the guy he was an ugly loser. This was back in like 2008 so I'm not sure if it's still around. I like this idea a lot more because I'm picturing a guy having an extended text convo with bell hooks quotes

my sister worked at Disney World for two years doing various jobs around the park (never a character) and now sets up Disney weddings in Orlando, so all of her friends also work for Disney, many of them as characters, and most of them are miserable

I know the girl who is Elsa and Ariel and one other princess I can't name at the park currently. She didn't need to be mickey for a year, just impreccable looks and three years of college drama for this minimum wage job with no benefits

A lot of young dudes attracted to what mra's offer don't have girlfriends though and aren't going to get one any time soon

I made a joke comment on an article. I obviously recognize that the systemic impoverishment of women is more important than my own bad luck.

I don't really feel inadequate. I just didn't realize how poor I am because all my friends are also poor. I did want to have a family someday and I guess that's off the table now, but other than that I was just pointing out how much money everyone else is making. It's obscene

I know a few but they're like 45-55. Is the sample entirely from Manhattan or something?

I'm a college educated man pulling in around 30k a year. I've never felt so inadequate.

undoubtedly true. I was specifically talking to about the way the map was carved out of the Ottoman Empire following the First World War. It was designed to make sure countries stayed divided.
