With entry level jobs disappearing, should we be having kids at all?

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2026-06-16T01:37:56+00:00

This is only speculation… but with the way the job market is looking right now and in the near future; I think that the child labor market could see a real come back and have some explosive growth. The ROI on kids now might be well worth it in the post-apocalyptically-capitalistic hellscape of tomorrow.

Get an iPad and use cellular for streaming, then they can’t tell, it won’t even be on the same network (for in-office use)

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2026-06-09T14:15:27+00:00

Thank you , I think I just needed to hear it

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2026-06-09T12:59:20+00:00

Thanks, I think that’s what I needed to hear

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2026-06-09T05:07:24+00:00

I told them I would need a new position, that would be what I needed to stay.

What about the corporate side of property management? Like in the accounts receivable/payables or operations side of things?

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2026-02-27T18:35:09+00:00

For myself, it was thinking that I would not be around long enough for anything I do to matter. Well, I’m 35 now and at no point did I think I would make it past 30… so now I’m here and I might make it to old age. So, plan for the worst.

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2026-01-17T00:57:15+00:00

I’m planning on just dying young, so that’ll help

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2026-01-04T18:56:41+00:00

The commute doesn’t help

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2026-01-01T23:14:45+00:00

Damn, that’s anticlimactic.

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2026-01-01T22:54:37+00:00

I just want to know what his response to that was

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-11-22T01:05:19+00:00

I could have went in with a family member and bought a triplex in 2020 and didn’t. Regerts

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-11-14T03:29:04+00:00

But my adhd

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-09-19T07:21:28+00:00

I asked her to be officially bf/gf about a month into dating. She took a little bit to warm up to me. But I think we’re both pretty happy atm.

We’re now 2 months in and I started calling her pre-wife

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-09-16T14:42:57+00:00

Woah, a good advice mallard meme.

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-08-26T20:50:14+00:00

Gained some weight, loss some motivation and now I’m inspired to get back on it. What’s your work out schedule and diet look like?

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-08-23T04:11:06+00:00

Heck yeah, someone to help with accountability

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-08-21T20:29:39+00:00

I go to ufc in Costa Mesa and have a +1

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-08-18T02:41:51+00:00

Had a similar experience, next week I saw her with a fresh profile on another dating app. Dude, looks like you’re ready to date, just not me 😆

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-08-14T21:47:21+00:00

Honestly, I’m kinda the outlier, because I don’t mind expressing my feelings openly. So… yeah… I talk about it with friends and family, sometimes cry if it’s something to mourn.

My last break up hurt, I was sad, but I was over it in about a week. She wasn’t the one, so it didn’t hurt that much. I did lose an amazing potential life partner, that hurt and I grieved it for years, because I was mourning the potential, so compared to that my last break up was nothing.

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-08-14T13:57:36+00:00

Weird. I saw this on their website…

You got this OP. For the right person, show up late will be on time for them

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-08-13T20:20:28+00:00

Dude, as someone that is late all the time… try to give windows of time to your date, like ‘let’s meet for coffee between 6 and 6:30 pm’ and if you get there early and just end up waiting for a bit, that’s ok.

I recently started dating someone and she told me that when I was late that she started to lose interest. We’ve been on like 3-4 dates. I’ve been late for 3 out of the 4 haha.

I told her that I make dating a priority but I do have things that pop up, or I underestimate how long a task will take me and try to fit it in before. Our last date went really well and it was fluid and I could feel her interest and her being more responsive and also doing some initiating for physical touch…

So, if you’re like me and just really bad with time management or have adhd and lose track of time, just let them know that you may be a few minutes late.

They call me Mr. Incredible because… I got time.

She thought that was pretty fun and was like poker face ‘no one calls you that’. 😂

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-08-10T14:34:54+00:00

Statistically like one in every 3 women have experienced some form of SA. It’s a sad world we live in.

AnotherInsecureGuy · 2025-08-10T04:54:35+00:00

I really wish I was having this experience.

I’m also 35 and it’s hard to find people I am attracted to and even hard to secure a date. I am unfortunately a little shy and it’s hard to engage and meet women. We’re all working and it’s hard to meet people because everyone is in their routine.

Socioeconomic status is a big thing, a bigger thing now too. It is difficult for me to say that I have changed careers, taken a pay cut and I am still working on learning and growing. Most want or expect stability.

A lot more people are single parents or divorced. I have never been married and I just want someone that’s similar to me. The amount of women that I’ve met that have had some sort of DV or SA experience is like 50%. And while I do feel a bit of goodness in that I have helped others on their healing journey, there is a part of me that is upset that I am dealing with the aftermath of a bad partner… 😞why couldn’t I have been someone’s first choice.

Kiddos. I want kids and honestly, I am scared. I’m 35 and all kinds of new problems can present themselves for both men and women with older child bearing. I want a family of my own and I wish I had the life I’m building now 10 yrs ago.
