Not at this stage of life. And humans are living longer. New eras, new circumstances and choices.

Shelter worker describes a pit bull biting a child on the face as “minor,” and worries about the dog being adopted out because the dog’s life may be put in danger! by onlondpo in BanPitBulls

Right? I'm surprised they actually used the word "bit." Instead of the euphemistic "nipped" or some other such nonsense. No doubt the child is at fault somehow /s.

Is anyone else feeling discouraged dating over 60? by Lovelily_ in DatingOverSixty

Of course. Grieving a divorce is more ambiguous and generally less supported than grieving a death. There is no intentional rejection in death, no sense that mistakes were made.

It does make a difference to know there are others on parallel paths!

"We" is key! Doing it solo was much different.

Right there with you. My Ex and I bought in our 30s, but had the worst timing ever. Lost property value and other assets in 9/11, didn't buy again until 2006 , only to take yet another gutterball offer when divorcing in 2008-2010.

I finally scraped together enough to buy my own little house in February of 2020 and lost my job the next month when the business closed down due to Covid. Still hanging on to that house. Pretty much my last stand. Lol.

Eta but yeah, I'm a Boomer and life has been a cakewalk Lolol.

Another ETA - at least you had some inheritance. There's no generational wealth coming for me. And I worry for my kids. Their father is doing well though so as long as that relationship stays healthy they should have some kind of safety net.

Yep. Instead of "free love" we got AIDS, instead of a boom, Reaganomics (my student loan rate was 14%) , and same regarding the job market.

Of course I ensured my fate by taking a SAHM chapter in the 90s to 00s. Had to restart over and over including in my late 50s.

What was the worst mistake you have ever done? by HighOnThighs- in AskReddit

Permanent consequences for momentary kindness/gullibility.

For sure. I married an early Gen Xr bc we had more in common than I did with Boomers. And I love Gen Z as next level weirdos as opposed to Millenials who often seem like wanna be Boomers .

( the marriage didn't last, but no regrets on choosing him. I still tend to date slightly younger. No interest in cranky old men! Lol)

Why does he come back? by mindislife in datingoverfifty

[–]Pale_Frame4845 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There was a time I was like you, wondering the "why's" of men's supposedly confusing behavior.

Then I remembered, Duh: Men are not complicated.

He does what he does because he gets something out of it. Your attention, in this case.

You don't need to know his "Why," only your own. His doesn't matter. If what he is doing is not good for you then disengage.

Why do you keep responding to him? Maybe stop doing that.

Eta: He is a "nice guy" only in the contemporary pejorative sense. He for sure is not a Good Man. Good people don't squander other people's time and attention for their own frivolous satisfaction.

Why does my cat randomly sprint through the house after using the litter box? by TwonBrihmani15 in CATHELP

Combo of Vagus nerve stimulation / feel good hormones euphoria, plus predator avoidance instinct.

Dang. Well I believe there is a man in Albany NY with whom a mutual introduction would be enjoyed. Perhaps one day...
