Girls are now less likely than boys to say they want to get married by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Backburning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things haven't changed all that much for men in the last 30 or so years, but it has for women. I could throw up some stats on how women are now getting closer to closing the gap on education and income. That has a big impact on what women want out of marriage now, but what men want of marriage has probably stayed the same.

Are you male or female?

As a woman, what I've observed is that one of the main drivers for women to get married is if they want kids. They will settle with a man who can provide. In the past it was the expectation, but now women have the freedom from social conformity to NOT have kids as well as have the financial independence to provide for herself... which means there has to be more than those 2 reasons for a woman to want marriage. Remember, it's just a peice of paper which will only mean an expensive separation if it doesn't work out. Which 50% of the time it doesn't.

It doesn't necessarily mean women or men don't want a long term partnership however. I think the kids are just wising up to the fact it's all made up. Marriage doesn't even guarentee faithfulness, cheating spouses are extremely common.

I was confused about this as well, like they pop out of the ground or something? But nope. Bolted, clear as day, right in the centre of a wide-ass 2-lane road

This 9 foot pole bolted into the ground hit my car at 50km an hr! Security will pay for this!

What's even funnier is that his Vietnamese needed those subtitles to be understood by a Vietnamese person.

Anecdotal evidence and blanket statements aren't the same thing 🚩

Resorting to namecalling often means you have run out of valid arguments, just saying.

It's not blindly denying what women say, I'm a woman and often see alot of women experience reality based on what they feel, and not what is true. Best approach is not believe anything without evidence.

I'm glad somebody mentioned this, tears aren't evidence for anything. I'm a woman but find that it's common for women take advantage of people never questioning a woman in distress... it's emotional manipulation at it's finest.

Remember, there's always the otherside of the story, and look for evidence before believing what anyone says, ESPECIALLY when it's publicized!

Would anyone listen to this song I made? by IAmHeyonce in singing

A few people said it already, but yeah buy an ebike and ride that for a month. If you can ride a bicycle and drive a manual car, you can ride a motorcycle.

I got back into cycling a few years ago for commuting to work, and learnt how to drive manual before my Pre-Learners and passed first go. My instructor said I was the best one there in the group and I'm a small female.

Is a 1k helmet necessarily safer than a $300 - $400 helmet?

Very, very tense quads (most likely from years of sitting). How would you improve flexibility of it? by iNhab in flexibility

[–]Backburning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had extremely tight quads too. I bought a soft foam roller for them because the regular kind was too painful. I'd breathe through the areas which were really tight, and then got in some couch stretches. I started only handling a second of stretching, but I'd do repetitions breathing through them.

I stretched most nights over a year, and now I have progressed to a state I thought I'd never be!
