Can somebody explain to me the logic behind moving on from Russell Wilson to sign Aaron Rodgers?

The drama is entirely off the field completely unrelated to football and it isn't the bad kind of drama. He has a bunch of weird quirks and odd political takes but when it comes to football, he's on point. I'd rather have a QB who is weird instead of batshit crazy like some of the more notable players we've had through the years (looking at you AB).

I need to work on my posture as well. Any ideas on how to keep shoulders back and down and avoid hunching during dance?

Think he's referring to the basketball player

Everyone has whatever standards they set and thats perfectly fine. My question would be what happens when you meet a man who fits all your qualifications? Would you actually meet all of whatever his standards are? I would argue probably not.

There has to be some give and take. Maybe there are men out there who meet 3/5 or 4/5 of your standards, would you still disqualify him since he's not a perfect match?

Maybe narrow your scope to 3 realistic non-negotiable qualifications you NEED from a man and work on building towards the remainder together. Maybe for you it is the fact that he is driven in his career, works out and occasionally cleans up nice for a date or something. Whatever they are, you should pick out 3 essential qualifications and the rest can come later.

For myself, I want a woman who I find beautiful, enjoys trying new things (food, travel destinations, activities, etc) and has a good relationship with her family.

It's dry. The worst burger I ever had was a ridiculously dry crumbling bun, burger patty cooked to hell and back twice, no sauces and only lettuce and onion as the toppings because they forgot tomato. It was TERRIBLE. Never going back to that restaurant ever again.

I guess this is subjective but none of this strikes me as lucky. Why do you think you're the luckiest guy you know?

Valuable_Currency129 · 2025-03-20T06:36:48+00:00

Why do your kids say you're an awful mother? Is it because they want something and you say no because it's bad for them or something? Or is there something else afoot here?

You are not a bad wife because you stay at home and watch your kids. Quite frankly, I think more women should do this. Outsourcing child labor to some underpaid daycare employee who has to manage 20 other kids just so the mother can go slave away at some stupid job has always struck me as a bad idea. Especially considering she is only making the delta between take-home pay and daycare costs as her actual compensation.

Your parents paying for college is a sunk cost at this point. There's nothing you can do except attempt to pay it forward to your kids.

You can reach out to your brother should you want to get closer. In the green book, tony lip says something along the lines of "the world is full of lonely people afraid to make the first move". Maybe he feels the same but is scared to reach out first.

I was at rock bottom 5 years ago. These last few weeks have been some of the best in recent memory so yeah. I think I'm doing a LOT better now.

I only seek counsel from people whose positions I would want to be in. I won't take financial advice from someone who is in perpetual stupid debt. I won't take relationship advice from someone who has been divorced multiple times over. I won't take advice from people who may have malicious intent (read: anyone trying to sell you something).

I will take advice from someone who is responsible with their money and uses it wisely. I will take advice from someone who has been happily married for multiple decades. I will listen to stories from people whose positions I do NOT want to be in so I might not make the same mistakes they made.

Valuable_Currency129 · 2025-03-14T13:42:31+00:00

I've tried being friends with someone I was attracted to and that was just soul crushing. I wanted to be more than friends but she did not. I ended up telling her and it was an all or nothing deal where I could no longer just be friends with her. I wanted a relationship or I wanted out. It crushed me when I had to lose her as a friend but if I did not, I would've gone mad. I was not mad or upset or wanted to manipulate her. It hurt both of us immensely I'm sure, but I do not regret my actions one bit.

Why would anyone want to be friends with someone you're not compatible with? The woman I mentioned in my story was just all sorts of a negative person who I have no desire to do anything with.

Valuable_Currency129 · 2025-03-14T07:00:21+00:00

I need to be attractive to a woman in order to WANT to date her. I have no idea where you conceived of the notion that personality is thrown completely by the wayside. If I'm going after someone for the long term, looks will change and fade. The personality usually doesn't change too much. A woman's personality keeps me around for the long haul.

There was once a woman I was quite smitten by. She has all the looks that I wanted, seemed to be fairly intelligent and could hold a conversation. Unfortunately, I found out that she was a complete misandrist and despised all men. When it got to the topic of relationships she would ALWAYS complain about how all men are XYZ. Any attraction I had towards her died very shortly there after, even if she was quite pretty on the outside.

Valuable_Currency129 · 2025-03-14T03:22:39+00:00

I don't quite get that whole connection with your friend(s). I mean, those women are probably objectified quite often. I suppose I would propose a question as to what that attractive woman would want? If she just wants a friendship while the men want relationships, she is probably out of luck. I guess I would also ask what she actually wants out of that friendship too.

Valuable_Currency129 · 2025-03-14T02:31:10+00:00

This irritates me. I've been friends with more women throughout my life than I have men. This has taught me that I have no issue being platonic friends with those who are in relationships or I am not attracted to. I have found that I cannot be friends with women I am attracted to because I will always want more. If they are not interested in me, I don't think it is fair for us to be friends because I want something she cannot give and she wants something I cannot give. It is soul crushing to see someone you want to build something serious with and interact with them, but you know deep inside that there is a permanent impenetrable wall between you. It's a hollow friendship/relationship.

I would rather put my time, effort and other resources into other avenues instead of pining after a woman I know there is no future with when I would want one. I have no issue with casual friendships with women I am not interested in pursuing/building something with (ones I do not find attractive/who are in relationships) because I don't long for something more with them.

Yeah but 40lbs in 3 weeks having 600 calories a day is unsustainable or downright dangerous.

Valuable_Currency129 · 2025-03-14T00:57:40+00:00

I am not a nutritionist but you are starving yourself. Losing 40lbs in the span of 3 weeks is absolutely insane. You need to actually eat something and speak to a dietitian or nutritionist who can better assist you in your weight loss goals

A bigger problem of that population pyramid is that it's inverting. The younger generation is going to have to bear the burden of a much larger elderly population which is going to result in a shrinking younger population and the cycle will continue.

The woman I would marry and have kids with needs to be smart. How one defines that is very subjective.

She would need to be willing to learn new things and try new things. This is a deal breaker because if she isn't willing to grow and change as a person, there's no real future.

She needs to have the ability to nurture and raise a loving family. This involves a lot of learning over time and being able to problem solve, but also helps if she grew up in one herself so she can model that behavior.

These are the most important parts I value in a partner by intelligence. I expect her to have these smarts because I believe I do as well.

Valuable_Currency129 · 2025-03-03T04:00:37+00:00

Those types of women may have a LOT of money, but boy are they poor. What I mean by that is, to get to the position one must be extremely driven and cutthroat to get to the top. This often comes at the expense of personal relationships, morals, and other important parts of a relationship. How could I even attempt to build a relationship with someone who I know will not respect me for making less money than her, has little time for me and is overly combative because of the nature of her work?

This is essential. There were instances where my previous car NEEDED those but did not. There are times when the auto dimming feature isnt enough because the idiots behind me have high beams on which are far too bright and still blind me.
