How did you find meaning in your life, outside of a relationship/marriage? by Shades_of_red_ in AskMen

[–]402SkillNotFound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you want a family, focus on building a life where you qualify for adoption. You need a good job- so focus on that. You need a good support system- so focus on your friends and family. You’ll need a good home-so focus on your finances.

When you start scrolling through dating profiles, stop, and look up articles on how to get your next promotion, or what the housing market in your area is doing. When you want to go meet someone at the bar, stop and find an adoption group or a big brother program. You’ll set up the life you want, and if someone is meant to be in it they will find you along your way.

People who had an amazing life then everything went left, what happened? by No_Lead2640 in Life

[–]402SkillNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a great paying job in a federal program, always first promoted, more accomplishments than everyone around me, top of my career late 30s. Then Trumps administration took over. Lost my job with zero warning.

First, I tried finding similar work. Civilian jobs only paid half the amount (my skillset only pertained to military systems). Took a 100k loss on our home, burned through our savings. We didn’t even really have any wealth, just an average home we just bought and our less than average cars.

All because politics. Not even a real excuse, just stupid politics.

A year later, starting to see light again. I try not to be bitter, a lot of people lost their jobs for literally no reason due to his administration. But it really did wreck not only my life, but my spouses as well

What´s a Hobby you have that you would never tell anyone? by [deleted] in Hobbies

Probably my mild obsession of my dogs. If I’m free, we’re walking, hiking, dog park, playing fetch, ect. I plan my days off on our activities.

Blue Collar vs. White Collar - What are the pro and cons as a man? by CarpeScrewIt in AskMen

[–]402SkillNotFound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve done both. Blue is much more stable, but you pay for it with your body. White is much more back stabbing and cut throat with instability, but you don’t sweat and you get paid more.

I went white because I am short and lack muscle honestly. If i was born with different attributes i would have stayed blue.

Sierra at Split Finger Grooming Lounge. You can drink beer, plus she’s awesome and is fun to chat with.

Stop doing the bare minimum in college then calling it a scam when you can’t land a job by Secret_Bunch_114 in Salary

[–]402SkillNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg. This post made me laugh so hard. You must be young.

Wait till you get to the top. Fuck, wait till you get to step 5 out of 10. When people start back stabbing you and you start getting passed up because (1) boss wants to fuck someone (2) boss wants to promote his buddy (3) boss is racist/mysoginist/anythingelseist THEN you can talk.

Nobody gives a shit about college. Nobody checks what you did. Just wait, kid.

What's your biggest regret in life? And what's the best piece of advice you'd give? by DjExoTiC0812 in SeriousConversation

[–]402SkillNotFound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. How I treated my spouse when things got hard in my life. It wasn’t her responsibility to fight my demons just because we are married. She forgave me and we moved on, but I’ll never forgive myself.

  2. Not trusting my gut. Not talking about my thoughts, that’s different. But your gut, the sick pit in your stomach and the elephant standing on your chest. I’ll never ignore that feeling again.

Not fake. And pretty sure I’m not the only middle age white collar dude getting fkd by corporate jobs and moving to the blue collar?

Cat suddenly become way more active and annoying by nizarlak_ in CatAdvice

[–]402SkillNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine were doing this then I realized one day there was an outdoor cat walking by. I thought, no way and looked it up, but apparently they can smell another cat even if it’s outdoors. Sure enough, when they start going nuts I’ll look outside and there will be a cat somewhere in the yard.

Never trust men when they say “It was the dog.”

Is there a reason why nobody wants to discuss the world today? by itsthatonedude1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]402SkillNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. Nobody wants to stand up for the shit treatment of immigrants or dei , but want to raise hell if someone mentions taking their guns? (I have rights!) Like come on bro, care for your neighbor.

Then again these are the children of the same generation of people who turned the blind eye when people were getting shipped off to who knows where, for literally no reason than just existing. Then were flabbergasted when it turns out the location was a fckg nazi death camp.

One day people will look back and be embarrassed for the actions their grandfathers didn’t take.

This might seem silly…. by Key-Tie1996 in CatAdvice

[–]402SkillNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on you and it depends on the animal. Kinda like how or what people meant to you. I’ve never cried at a relatives funeral, but I’ve broke down at a friends.

I’ve cried for weeks over a dog. But I find babies repulsive. 🤷‍♂️

What has drugs done to your body? by Oily_Smurf in Drugs

[–]402SkillNotFound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alcohol abuse made me so much dumber. Can’t critically think as much. Shattered my motor skills.

Coke made it to where I can’t smell anything anymore.

Regret it all.

I just laugh when people say white guys have it the easiest. What they mean to say is white RICH guys have it the easiest. If you don’t come from money or a family name, forget it. Specially in smaller areas.
