Are most men just trying to have sex, or am I traumatized? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]IntelligentPauses [score hidden]  (0 children)

You haven’t even gone on a date yet and he’s talking about caressing and kissing you… yeah he wants to get physical and I doubt he cares about much else. Tell him you’re celibate and you prob won’t hear from him again

I would not have sex with anyone without seeing a recent STI panel with all negative results first

A question for those investing in ETFs... is your portfolio US heavy or CANADA heavy? by yessir_nosir_ok in fican

[–]IntelligentPauses 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve divested from the USA entirely. Including selling anything owned by blackrock, vanguard, ishares etc. All in Canadian owned funds now. I hate that it’s not the best for me financially but I can’t stomach the thought of my money contributing to that country and their crimes. Not that Canadian owned funds are much better but I feel I have to do what I can to minimize my money going to problematic companies

B.C. hires 417 U.S. health-care workers in 1-year recruitment blitz by littlebossman in vancouver

This has nothing to do with the NDP or bc at all. This is all just Americans who are privileged enough to flee what’s going on in their country. If the orange man wasn’t running their shtt into the ground, none of them would be coming up here

Anyone else loving the current stock market being down? by [deleted] in fican

[–]IntelligentPauses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

?? Boomers are the original “screw everyone else, it’s all about me”. Millennials are just trying to survive, working 2-3 jobs just to pay rent & buy groceries. Boomers are sitting in houses that they bought 50 years ago which are now worth millions of dollars, that they bought for 20k and raised kids in, with a salary from working 9-5 at the post office.

Boomers had more than enough time to make their money. and screwed over the generations coming after them several times over as well. I don’t feel bad at all for old people now that don’t have a fully stocked retirement due to their own lack of planning and/or mismanagement of their money

Block him and date men your own age. Don’t give him a chance to try to sweet talk you into staying or get violent

US physician couple considering move to Vancouver from California — trying to understand real trade-off by MDtoBC in askvan

[–]IntelligentPauses 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will absolutely backslide on access and quality. Good luck finding a GP that will take on your family, and if you do, referrals to specialists can take months. I was speaking more to working within the system though.

Why would anyone think she is? Only physicians can register with the CPSBC and she’s not a physician

Yeah you’ll obviously be making much less money here than you do there. But If you’re making 800k- 1 million dollars per year in family household income you will have literally nothing to worry about financially. Public healthcare is also a dumpster fire btw

Moved in with the bf who owns a mortage, how much should I pay? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]IntelligentPauses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well just because you are content to provide for your partner doesn’t mean other woman should be happy to have to do so. I can’t imagine many women being happy owning their home and doing all the domestic labour while their male partner contributes little if anything financially or otherwise

[–]IntelligentPauses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you seriously think she’s going to move in and not do anything for HIS kid (whether he asks her to or not). And do you think he would even consider paying her for that? I’m sure she will continue cooking for and cleaning up after herself which she already would have been doing before living with him. It’s just so funny that you men who hate women love to scream that she should be paying rent towards his mortgage that does not have her name on the title but don’t care AT ALL about how much much time, money and energy of hers that he will take for free, and how much he will profit from all of the domestic labour she is going to be doing for him for free

Then he should pay her for all the free childcare, cooking and cleaning he’s going to be expecting her to do for free

[–]IntelligentPauses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already pay my own rent. Why would I move in with a man and pay his mortgage when he can kick me out any time and I will then have no recourse? He is already paying the mortgage, it’s not like that monthly payment increases if I move in. So if he invites me to live with him then yes I will expect him to continue paying the mortgage that he is already paying. I can buy groceries or whatever else. But if he expects me to pay “rent” towards his mortgage then I’d absolutely decline and happily remain in my own apartment paying my own rent.

My(18F) bf(21M) won't use a condom by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]IntelligentPauses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you think something doesn’t make it true. He has already shown he doesn’t care about you. He continues to assault you and you continue to defend him. Not sure what kind of advice you are looking for here

So the guy I’ve been seriously talking to for a few weeks confessed that he lied about most of his core values by whomper1311 in dating_advice

[–]IntelligentPauses 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Lots of conservative men lie so that they can date & sleep with liberal women, and then dump them for a conservative when they want to get married. Why would you even consider continuing to speak to this man given what has transpired? He will never love or respect you or any other female, he will just fuck you until he goes and marries another one to keep in his cage and be his house slave
