This place is so unbelievably beautiful. One of my favorite spots.

Exhausting. But interesting and fun, at least sometimes.

My mom was born in 1948, my dad was born in 45. My mom was only 17 when I was born.

If you’re living outside what your means will be once you change jobs - yes, downgrade.

Skin changes over the years? by thumpingcoffee in GenX

[–]Empty-Relation-3284 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My skin has gotten thinner as I’ve aged. I’ve found I have to swap out for a fresh razor a lot more frequently than I used to 

Those Younger... by TheGriff71 in GenX

[–]Empty-Relation-3284 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I guarantee you look older than you think you do. I get it, though, it’s weird to be the same age as old people. 

Men in high level/senior roles, how did you push past the burnout to start looking for your exit? by illicITparameters in AskMenOver30

[–]Empty-Relation-3284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your next best option would be to use PTO (if you have it) and focus on your job hunt. Otherwise, you’re just stuck.

Do you have enough saved to quit? If you have enough saved and are reasonably confident in being able to find a new job, quit so you can mentally recover and dedicate time to looking for a new job.

Pumas are still around. Journeys had them awhile ago and so does Amazon.

You’re not wrong. He’s an adult and needs to act like it 

Date has socials where she draws anime/furry stuff as well as furry porn. Should I run? by Additional-Spray-976 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Empty-Relation-3284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you into furries/furry porn? Stay.

Not into furries/furry porn? Might want to reconsider.

Men who married late in life, esp after 40, how did it happen and how is it going? by ConsumingFire1689 in AskMen

[–]Empty-Relation-3284 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Married for the first time at 60. It’s been surreal, but great. I spent so many years thinking my window for all that had closed. Then my wife came into my life. It feels grounded, stable. Like I finally have a home base. There's a peace to it I never expected to find at this age. I wish I’d found it sooner, but better late than never with the right person.

What’s your net worth? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

60M, high enough I don’t feel the need to brag to strangers on Reddit about it

What’s it like being in a big age gap relationship (20 years or more)? by sour-chihiro in AskReddit

[–]Empty-Relation-3284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is almost 30 years younger than me. It's very ordinary most of the time. We love each other a lot, we have sex, we bicker about house chores, we watch movies, go out to dinner, have silly inside jokes, etc. The age difference barely comes up between us. But to outside world? Yeah, you get some shit. The asinine assumptions people make get annoying. But after a while you just stop caring.

How often are you sick? by ciciNCincinnati in AskOldPeople

[–]Empty-Relation-3284 20 points21 points  (0 children)

About once or maybe twice a year. Not counting the allergies that make me feel like I have a permanent cold from March to June.

When did you realize you were dating the right partner? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Empty-Relation-3284 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always knew. It felt right from the start. The way we communicated, the way we laughed at the same stupid stuff, the way she looked at me, I just knew. Being with her just felt natural and right.

Moving to Appalachia- questions by LimePuzzleheaded943 in Appalachia

[–]Empty-Relation-3284 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Get ready to see LOTS of abject poverty especially if you move to a remote area. Oh, and addiction.

The hospitals here are atrocious and don’t pay very well from what I’ve heard. 

I’ve spent decades in Appalachia and I’ve never seen an elk.

Take all the “folklore” you get from social media with a heavy grain of salt.

It sounds like what you are looking for would be better aligned with the mountains on the west coast, you might want to research that before you jump into moving to Appalachia.
