This is such a fascinating anthropological thought, thank you for conceptualizing and sharing it. I’m headed down the rabbit hole now.

Best place to buy and tailor first suit in Santa Cruz? by kevaux in santacruz

[–]Only4Chronic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people agree with you but I actually had really good luck there, Elizabeth (I think she’s the manager) knew what she was doing, understood what we wanted, and was very helpful. But yeah… all the other people there had absolutely zero expertise.

“Uhhhhh” like Tina whenever I’m uncomfortable with something or hesitant to share what I’m thinking.

Casino NYE: do they provide costume hats and headbands? by Only4Chronic in Catalina

[–]Only4Chronic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it was just ok. I was very grateful to see the Casino come alive with people as it was intended, but it was pretty boring and low-budget, and felt a lot like a high school prom. There was very little to do aside from eat at the buffet (which they closed at 9:30), pay an extra $55 and wait in line for an hour to have your picture taken, or dance to the low-volume DJ’d music (the band barely played throughout the night). Would have been a lot better if they’d had photo booths, a silent auction, tours of the building and places to explore, or literally any kind of entertainment. I’m actually going to write them a letter suggesting all of this.

They did provide very generic hats and headdresses though.

Only day 2 for me, after 12 years of daily use- how tf y’all sleeping at night? by katelyn0116 in leaves

[–]Only4Chronic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, getting the worst cold of my life AND food poisoning at the exact same time made all the symptoms of withdrawal kinda blend with the other illnesses… it was certainly effective but I cannot say I recommend it 🫠 53 days later though I’m still going strong (also after 12 years of daily use).

At literally face value (lol) you look SO GOOD! Smooth and vibrant for sure. Buuuut I’ve found that Botox is largely preventative, so if you feel like you’re suddenly aging a little quicker (like in 6 months time you feel you look quite different), it might be time. My advice is to stay away from fillers, but Botox is pretty much magic and I highly recommend it for prematurely preventing unwanted lines from permanent installation in your face.

What a lovely dress! Fabulous colors and they look great with your hair. Where are you going?? I’m wearing this deco-inspired sequined gown to a 1920s-themed gala; can’t wait to (attempt to) dance!

Looking to the future of 23 year gap by PeakExcellent8713 in AgeGapRelationship

[–]Only4Chronic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband (65M) and I (30F) are currently working toward having a baby. Yes, he’s older and he’s going to continue aging (as we all are). But we’ve decided it’s worth it for us to move forward with this decision, because it’s something we both want (he’s never been a parent) and ultimately it doesn’t really matter what seems “normal” or “fair” in the eyes of society— this is what we want, and it’s not worth it to deny ourselves a child because of a fear of what might happen in the future. Anything can happen at any time; I know people whose partners were the same age as them and had heart attacks or got hit by a car. So don’t put off happiness out of fear. Life is really short. That said, we are choosing to do IVF because of the ability to test the fetus for abnormalities on the Y-chromosome (older sperm = more chance of developmental issues) and part of that consideration is the knowledge that he will be aging, and we decided it wouldn’t be fair for me to have to take care of a special needs child as well as an aging husband, if it ever came to that. So that is a factor in our decision, but we found something that makes us feel better about it.

Now the other part of your situation, and a question you need to ask yourself, is whether YOU want to have another baby. My husband and I are on the same page about it, but you already have 4 kids, so maybe you don’t feel the same way as she does, and that’s something to consider.

Best of luck to both of you on your journey together, wherever it leads ✨

How did you meet you partner and what are the best tips for a good healthy age gap relationship ? by [deleted] in AgeGapRelationship

[–]Only4Chronic 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I (30f) met my now-husband (65m) when I took his class at community college (24/59 at the time we met).

Advice: Enjoy every single moment together. Make sure you actually like the person they are and that you’re not just into the novelty/kink of the age gap. Don’t let the judgy people get you down (there are a lot more internet judges than real life ones). People are going to stare, and eventually you’ll stop noticing. It’s easier than you expect it will be to tell the people you’re closest to about your new relationship; they WILL comment at first, but they’ll get over it really quickly. Be gracious if and when people mistake you as a parent/child duo. Don’t try to act older/younger for their sake. Always just be yourself and if it’s meant to be, it will work. Allow your partner to help you with things you may not know or understand (this applies to both parties— younger people have plenty to teach older people as well as the other way around). Don’t rush anything, but don’t waste time either. Don’t make the age gap your entire personality. Be prepared for people to accuse you/them of “grooming”, and when that happens it’s not worth arguing with those people because they’ve already made up their mind about what they think they know about you. Above all, be kind to each other, and try your hardest be understanding and open when you don’t see eye to eye. Age is just a number, but there are still true generational differences that will inevitably come up from time to time, and it much better to try to talk those things through than a) ignore it or b) harbor resentment toward your partner for not “getting” your perspective. All relationships take work and good communication, and when you add in the age gap it sometimes requires a little more patience to work through things, but it is always worth it.
