And I love every minute of all of that. The point is that you can’t just say “x dollars” is spent on dating without determining what, above and beyond normal expenses, is actually spent on dating. If a person, but for a date, was still going down to the bar with buds to spend $60 on drinks and snacks, but, instead,…

“on what it said were ISIS militants in Afghanistan”

Do I sense a bit of suspicion, here?

Your sugar momma brush off is indicative of another double standard in the world- it’s considered quite normal for a younger, attractive woman to seek out older, perhaps less attractive, but relatively financially successful men for dating, but considered creepy for young men to do the reverse.

I think one of the points Rhayader is making is that just because I’m married, doesn’t mean I don’t have similar expenses. I took my wife on a “date night” last night- we shoot to do that once a month or so- and spent $60 on dinner and drinks (cost of living in San Antonio is great). We also take the family to dinner…

Not very “modern man” of me, but I rarely cry. Basically funerals. And only the unexpected ones (20-something friends, rather than 90-year-olds with Dementia).

Some of us don’t like minivans- either the styling, the fact most are FWD, the low ride height, the piggish acceleration and handling, etc.

Generally, though, there’s only a penalty, in a race, if riding over the kerb resulted in an undue advantage- i.e. the car passed another on the kerb.

And therein lies the issue on college campuses where, generally, men are accused of date rape, dragged into an “administrative hearing,” not allowed to be represented by counsel, not allowed to present evidence or even testimony other than, “I’m so sorry I did this, I won’t do it again,” and the panel then decides how…

Look at this asshole.

As to why I carry, I may be loathe to take a life, but I’d much prefer it to the alternative of not being able to prevent someone else from taking mine.

what if i’m actually trying to kill a pedestrian- like he’s shooting at me, or something? huh? betcha Buick didn’t think of that.

I’ll respond to this from another perspective-

I was hired by an insurance defense law firm, 4 or 5 years out of law school, with no specific insurance defense experience but 2 years of experience as an insurance adjuster. The boss offered me a base salary and I countered for an additional $2,500 that he gave me.

I question the validity of this conclusion. For one, what are they comparing? Women with Master’s vs. Men with Master’s? If so, do women, more often, have Master’s in liberal arts disciplines like English, History, Women’s Studies, etc., to men’s Master’s in Engineering, Physics, Geology, Computer Science? Based on…

As a resident of San Antonio I’ll take this moment to point out how utterly ridiculous it is nobody takes SA seriously for an NFL franchise- we have 1.4M people and only an NBA and fledgling minor league soccer and baseball teams. We have a larger population than 4 cities with current NFL franchises and Las Vegas.

“About 6 percent of nurses in the United States are men. However, men are represented in much higher numbers in nursing specialties that also pay higher salaries. For example, 49 percent of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in the U.S. are men. In 2005, the average salary for CRNAs was $160,000,…

The article says it controlled for those factors, but then used graphs that clearly don’t control for the factors.

The numbers in the chart above aren’t all controlled for everything. For pre-school and kindergarten teachers, it’s not controlling for the fact that male teachers are more likely to have advanced degrees, and, therefore, be paid more (in public school education salary is, in the vast majority of districts, based…

Yeah, Umbrella is fairly cheap...it does require higher limits for the regular auto liability (and renters or homeowners liability). For every increase in limits, though, the cost of additional coverage goes down- insurers know the likelihood of a $250K payout is less than for a $100K payout, which is less than for a…
