B-I-N-G-O. I scrolled all the way through the comments to see if someone else said it before posting this myself. Women seek open relationships; men just cheat. An oversimplification sure, but I’d wager large sums that this is how it breaks out statistically.
Also, male ego gets in the way of most guys actually being ok with an open relationship. What they really mean is THEY want an open relationship, they want you to be the main girl who only wants them. I am strongly monogamous/traditional, and have had three ex’s suggest opening up the relationship. As soon as another…
I wonder if it’s that men tend to get the better deal out of relationships (http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/marriage-and-mens-health) and so would have fewer incentives to open up the arrangement.
The drop in interest, to me, has more to do with finding out that your male partner is also a child you have to take care of. Women do more “work” in relationships than some (not all!) men and that leads to strain. By work, I mean social relationships with other couples, house cleaning, child rearing, and so on.
I’m the same way with my wife, it’s good to balance out your spouse. She gets so focused sometimes I doubt she would eat if I didn’t physically put food in front of her. She’ll have roughly four computers working simultaneously and I’m like okay Batman crime in Gotham can wait until you’ve nourished yourself.
In my case it was a lot of external pressure and expectation to perform - my parents didn’t have access to a good education so they made a point to enroll their kids in the best, most expensive school even though they couldn’t afford it. As a result the pressure to perform and stand out was intense, and I also had the…
That’s so funny, because I have spent much of my life trying to achieve things (and working really hard for them) and actually wishing that it was all over with so I could just relax already. After I finally achieved that milestone, the Real Job and realized I still never had time or money, I’ve been forced to…
I would love to be goal-oriented, but I’ve been in survival mode for so long that it seems impossible. I have a lot of jealousy/envy for people who have room in their life for goals.
what? i’ve flown JetBlue for over a decade and they JUST (like, in the past 18-24 months) started charging for the first checked bag - it used to be one free, then charged for any additional checked luggage.
Jet blue charges for none of those things. Carry ons are free, so are seat selection, drinks, a vast selection of in-flight entertainment and unlimited free snacks (chips, cookies). And somehow, they still manage to maintain competitive pricing.
But someone else up thread said that Jet Blue doesn’t overbook and they do just fine. So it isn’t needed at all.
As a paying customer, I would rather not be violently dragged from my seat resulting in a concussion and broken nose because the airline couldn’t get their shit together.
I completely understand why this is problematic at best, but if I’m honest I have to say that I’ve never really connected with the spiritual side of yoga myself. I admire people that do but all it’s ever been to me is stretching/exercise/breathing. Which I find completely satisfactory since I guess I’m just not a…
Airlines not being able to staff their planes is the fault of the customer? Fuck you.
They could solve the logistics of moving employees by SAVING 4 or 6 seats on every flight in case they need them, then releasing to stand by passengers if not.
You know in other industries the people who work logistics manage it so their customers and their staff are not competing for the same limited resource. Deduct staff seating before selling seats and only sell as many seats as there are left on the plane. What you wrote is dumb and you should not feel smart for having…
As a passenger, I hope people remember that airlines need to manage their own shit and not ask paying passengers to do it for them.
They can still have hot sex with other women.
I’d much rather drive anything under ten hours than deal with airports. It’s often cheaper too, especially if you’re not traveling alone.
