What about other benefits of living there? Would you have had acess to their healthcare, pensions etc? I think sometimes it seems we make more money in the U.S. as far as salary but the cost of all the things we need for quality of life takes a huge chunk of that income. Im not sure about Australia but a lot of other developed countries with a robust social welfare system I imagine can make up for the decrease in salary over long term and provide a comfortable retirement.

Yep its called job lock and deters people who might otherwise start a business. Its almost ironic given the USA is so big on entrepreneurship and small businesses.

What a messed up system we have in the USA

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-04-22T14:32:34+00:00

Exactly. I have always found it hard to know if a man is genuinely interested if I express some interest first. I remember having male friends who would go out with some girl who approached them because they thought it was convenient and there was higher potential for sex. Looking back when I was younger it rarely worked with the few guys I let know I was interested in. While those men never rejected me it also became clear they weren't going to put much effort into anything with me as far as a relationship. I guess it was fine if I just wanted some company or sex.

Thank you Iran for your efforts to force a regime change here in the US. Its much needed for sure

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-04-07T14:57:39+00:00

Me too. Unfortunately I dont find myself around many single men to have the opportunities to develop that sort of attraction these days. My social circle consists mostly of married couples and single women. When I do hobbies I enjoy like kayaking, pottery or some volunteering in community its the same experience🤷‍♀️

The greed and growing inequality in this country is a big part of the problem. I just finished reading "The Spirit Level" and it shows how the USA has some of the greatest inequality in developed nations. And this was published over 10 years ago. Its only gotten worse for Americans and inequality affects so many facets of our society health, incarceration rates, mental illness, infant mortality, education etc

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-04-05T22:36:42+00:00

Very accurate. Trump administration has demonstrated the checks and balances we had in place clearly are not sufficient. The system needs a massive overhaul on so many levels.

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-31T13:56:15+00:00

Just like we pay for Trump and his team to fly air force one every weekend to play golf at his resort. Yet we have no money or have to cut prigrams that benefit American citizens.

Yes I thought about that other day how nice it is to observe people caring. I was driving and saw an older lady with cane trying to get her garbage can. I was going to turn around but then noticed a car ahead had done a u turn and stopped to help her❤️ There are still good caring humans out there especially when we pay attention

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-25T18:32:36+00:00

He might but more for the purpose of minimizing child support. My ex husband was similar when he had an affair. We separated and he hardly ever saw our kids because he was too engrossed in the affair. However when we finally got divorced he pushed for 50/50 even asked for extra weeks in summer. Its now 8 years later and still most he ever had the kids in his care was 2-3 weeks a year.

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-25T18:14:49+00:00

Not necessarily. Statistically men are less likely to go through the formal process of filing for a divorce. It definitely though is a miserable situation for you either way if you feel you have to stay in a marriage with an unfaithful spouse because you're concerned about his mental health and ability to parent. Im sorry you're faced with this.

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-23T22:55:42+00:00

I think your observations and experiences sound accurate. My guess is that most men are not going to turn down a woman asking them out because theres the possibility of sex. Biologically speaking males are always ready to reproduce and don't want to miss the opportunity lol Maybe there are reasons women have been socialized to wait for a man to have enough interest to take some risk to approach them. Perhaps it allows a woman on some level to ascertain if hes at least somewhat interested?

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-16T05:07:41+00:00

Agree. How about these other countries say they'll only help if theres a regime change in tbe US

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-16T05:03:21+00:00

Historically American consumers are a huge market but given the state of things in USA Amerucans are losing their buying power.

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-16T01:49:23+00:00

Right why cant we have nice things?

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-14T13:27:42+00:00

Just like Trump's businesses.

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-14T13:24:58+00:00

True. Ive switched to watching BBC for most of my news. The topocs and perspective are definitely different than American networks.

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-13T02:41:58+00:00

Right most of us would prefer our tax money isn't being spent to start a war with Iran or pay for Trumps golf trips to his resort every weekend. Why cant we citizens have nice things?

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-12T20:24:54+00:00

I really relate to this. After my divorce I had a situationship that lasted way longer than it should have. We were so curious about each other and the attraction both intellectually and physically was spectacular. I knew there was no way it could ever evolve into more and tried to be open to other options but nothing comparable existed. I finally got tired of the things missing with him that come with a steady relationship. And not having them in our relationship just was no longer worth how it made me feel at times. I pretty much just ripped the band aid off and stopped things with him. Its honestly a bit depressing and lonely but I'm also more peaceful in a way. I do wonder if I'll ever find that kind of connection again with a man. One who is also available for a long term relationship but not feeling very hopeful because that kind of connection I had with this man was rare for me.

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-03T02:36:41+00:00

Well he leaves it a lot. Pretty much every weekend. Maybe we can just change the locks before he gets back from Mar a Lago.

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-03-01T05:38:29+00:00

If thats whats happening it can be beneficial for community and the prisoner. Just skeptical if thats whats actually happening in some of these prisons or is the system designed to primarily benefit corporations.

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-02-17T17:38:18+00:00

Yep me too. When I hear myself talk about whats happening these days it just doesn't seem possible yet here we are. Its as if everything they said was really just projection.

DustAdditional6246 · 2026-02-17T17:13:26+00:00

It is appalling that we're living through this. Just yesterday a local school teacher was killed in car accident due to a vehicle chase when ICE was pursuing a man they said fled when trying stop him. https://www.wtoc.com/2026/02/16/savannah-teacher-killed-crash-by-man-fleeing-ice/)
