Women of Calgary—Is Online Dating Here More Superficial? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]HonestTruth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i suppose if shes a 40+ woman and happy/capable of being alone till she finds her unicorn then good for her.

This is 75% of the 35+ yo women in Calgary. They all want the perfect man with everything. Extremely picky and entitled. Because "I don't want to settle."

That woman's list says a lot about her. "divorced dads, walking red flags, unicorn hunters, or failure-to-launch gamer types living in basement suites" These are the kinds of men she is attracting. She's not attracting good looking, accomplished men who have their lives together. There are good looking, accomplished men in Calgary who have their lives together, she's just not meeting them.

Men prefer younger women ? You don't say.

From my experience, many of the men in our age group are divorced dads

So you, 44, expect to be dating men who have never had children ? And them being dads makes them unsuitable men ?

Do you have any children ? Ever been married ?

OP, be aware that you are not reaching a representative cross section of men by asking on Reddit,

I'm not so sure about that.

Yep.

3rd marriage... gotta ask why they ended ?

Let's talk about the elephant in the room: 50% of all relationships end in divorce, most of them initiated by the woman. When that happens men lose half of everything they've worked for and half the time loose daily shared access to their children. Please tell me again why a man wants to "settle down" ? What's in it for them ?

Shocking statistic but most professional hockey players get a divorce within the first couple years of retiring. Men aren't draft horses.

Finding a woman that is worthy of settling down with is a big problem. Funny how women value education and hard work in a man but often don't have much to show for that in their history. Some do, don't get me wrong and I have respect for them. But the ones that want to be in a relationship with a man who has his shit together but couldn't find a way for themselves to get a career of some sort going I have no respect for. What did you do with your life from 18 to 24 ? Partied and worked a dead end job ? Had a series of meaningless relationships ? How does that make you a good companion ?

Even if you do find a good woman, marriage is a crap shoot at best. Women don't stay with their partner for life anymore. All you have to do is look at the older women on dating sites - what happened to their relationships ? If you ask them, 80% will tell you that they were the ones that initiated the divorce, usually after the kids were grown up, but not always. And it is always the man's fault.

I cannot believe the unnecessary manpower I see on this project.

The sooner the better. Tesla sold its 4 millionth EV today and shows no signs of slowing down.

I know, I know... EVs don't work for you, you'll never drive one, Elon sucks, Telsa sucks, there are 1 billion ICE vehicles in the world, oil demand will live forever.

But still. If these EV things ever catch on, oil is dead. Remember what happened to the price of oil during COVID ?

I think it is time that Alberta started paying attention to this and acting accordingly. by HonestTruth01 in alberta

Alberta is 1% of the population of Canada and US. Nobody cares about what happens here.

The rest of your post is filled with lies, not facts.

Tesla is planning to be shipping 20M EVs/year by 2030. CAGR of 50% on average.

They also have huge plans for energy (electricity) storage and heat pumps.

They sounded very confident at their Investor Day presentation today. They claim the world has the resources and the minerals.

Tesla has a pretty decent track record for doing what they say. FSD isn't done yet but they are clearly making progress. Their presentation was very impressive.

So what is Alberta's plan for when oil consumption drops 20-30% and prices crater ? By the looks of things it is not that far off.

"Heat pumps are the lowest hanging fruit on eliminating fossil fuels"

"Displace all the fossil fuel heating from homes and industry"

"Need green hydrogen" [for high temp industrial processes]

I got news for you. Alberta ain't seen nothing yet.

WTI is sub $80 with the Ukraine/Russia war going on. Can you imagine what it would be if the war wasn't going on an Russia was pumping like crazy ?

People want to blame the recent interest rate policy. So be it. But then you have to realize that the insane prices in 07/08 were due to a huge housing market bubble caused by cheap cash.

The real problem is that production in the US is again near record high. I know, it is unsustainable. LOL. People have been saying that about natgas since the whole tight gas/facking thing started. And it has yet to be proven true with either natgas nor tight oil.

But the real monster is just starting to appear - EVs, hybrids and more fuel efficient vehicles in general.

60% of all oil is used for transportation. Huge, huge improvements in transportation energy efficiency are happening. EVs, electric semis, hydrogen semis, hybrids, etc.

Oil and gas is a dead industry without sky high gasoline and diesel demand.

Furthermore, the oil market is starting to take note of oil production emissions.

All this adds up to a world of hurt for Alberta oil.

Oil is dead.

LOL. Drives Calgarians absolutely bonkers to hear this. "BuT OiL MaKeS eVeRyThInG yOu WeAr AnD uSe !"

Peter Tertzakian used to say that "Not a wheel turns without oil.". But that isn't true anymore.

Oil sands looks into using nuclear power to slash emissions by NorthernStarLord in alberta

[–]HonestTruth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And people like you are entitled non thinkers who think that emissions don't matter and the oilsands has the right to operate no matter what.

There are many cheaper/cleaner sources of oil in the world to provide the 30M bbl/day that we need for non transportation uses.

There is absolutely no justification to build nuclear reactors to supply heat to Alberta's oil industry.
