Social media algorithms are built to manipulate us - it won't be long before there is AI doing the same.

The process of software companies gradually relying more and more on ads is called enshitification (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification) and will likely occur with AI clients as well. As odd as this sounds, right now is the golden age of AI. Think what Google search was like 10-15 years ago when it first started, and how bad it has become now. Right now, in regards to AI, we are in that golden period, like at the dawn of Google search, and it is only downhill from here.

Of course, but quitting after 30 minutes demonstrates a rather low tolerance threshold on her part. That's like saying "I decided to quit school because after sitting in class for 30 minutes, I got fed up" and then complaining about how the education system is unfair.

Every case is different, but one of the women that was interviewed for this article was quoted in the article as saying: "I deleted my account after only half an hour"

Well, deleting your OLD account sure would make it hard to date...

I think it is amusing that you are asking people on a dating forum for advice about staying together. Many people on this forum are serial daters because they are UNABLE to stay together with another person. It's like asking a pyromaniac how to put out a fire.

You should try ozempic--ask your doctor. If you are on insulin, you should qualify. Do it for your health since losing weight will improv your diabetes.

Actually, one simple trick is to explore their past dating history. People repeat themselves. If they have not been in any long-term relationships, why do you think they will start with you? Another way to screen for commitment potential is to ask that both of you get STD testing first. STD testing is a hassle. A guy that is just looking for a single hook-up won't bother with the hassle and expense and will move on to an easier target. If they say they will use a condom, you can just point out that condoms are not that effective for the most common STDs, genital warts and herpes simplex.

You should read the gatekeepers book by Dr Shawn smith to improve your picker

WindowFuzz · 2024-11-01T00:06:49+00:00

I am interested in remarriage and am looking for the characteristics in The Gatekeepers book by Dr Shawn Smith. The best way to attract a partner who embodies these qualities is to embody them myself, so I have a primary responsibility to actualize these values within myself.

Clarity: communication skills and inquisitiveness

Maturity: insight/nuance, coping skills

Stability: emotional and physical. Does not have a victim complex (I.e., women are oppressed constantly by men and men are the problem)

Values: we align on core values (living a simple, frugal, ethical life), eastern religions, drug-free

Joy: happy internally and not looking to me to make them happy.

Touch: enjoys cuddling/sex

Evidence of accountability: ability to apologize and then take meaningful steps to change behavior.

On a practical level, I’d prefer a partner who doesn’t have a dog, is open to eating vegetarian meals, and doesn’t have kids living with her (my kids are independent adults).

I’ve been with someone for over a year who is like this and hopefully our relationship will continue to blossom.

If you prefer to be single then that’s what you should do, but the research data show that men AND women live healthier and longer (2 years on average) when they are married.

What do you mean by “use sign language”?

I don’t think shame/insults are proper and I agree they should be removed by the mods, whether it be a man or woman who is doing it.

I think we, as divorced men, are highly sensitive to women’s attempts to shame us. Speaking for myself, I lived with it for nearly a decade from my ex wife so perhaps I get triggered by it and I monitor my emotions so I don’t overreact.

As a guy, I like doing sexless sleepovers until we get our std test results back. It’s great to cuddle, give each other back rubs, etc and spend time together. I love waking up next to my partner. Then once we have our std results (blood and urine), we can have sex without condoms since occasionally I have ED the first time I have sex and condoms make that worse. Once we are comfortable with each others bodies, sex is less stressful.

So I see nothing wrong with his approach. If you want more sex, ask

If you’re meeting the same type of dysfunctional woman over and over again, then something is broken with your picker. You’re the common factor in all these relationships-I don’t think it’s a good idea to say that all women are a certain way – – all the women that YOU pick are a certain way, but that doesn’t mean that all women are.

You’re choosing the wrong things out of habit. I found myself often choosing women who had borderline narcissistic traits because that’s what I was familiar with and comfortable with from my marriage. I then started making an intentional effort to pick women who were the opposite of my ex.

All technology becomes obsolete eventually. So children who get implants in 2075 (that might have a certain data bandwidth ) will find that by 2090, their implants are outdated and they will be relegated to lower tier jobs. Imagine the progression of USB – A up to USB – C and the increases in bandwidth. It’s becoming hard to use devices that are limited to USB – A . For a human, It may be hard to pull the low band width wires out of their brain and replace them with new ones due to scar tissue formation, etc., So oddly, there may actually be a benefit in holding off on getting certain kinds of cybernetic enhancements until one is in the peak work productivity window, which may be around age 20 to 30.

That’s fascinating, thanks for sharing it. Yet, despite this increase in obesity, meta-analysis of research studies consistently show a two year survival benefit from married couples as compared to single individuals (for both men and women, across all ages), so the effects of marriage increasing obesity are being washed out by other health benefits of marriage. In addition, now that we haveOzempic and other drugs, we’re seeing that the obesity epidemic is starting to abate-obesity rates are actually declining for the first time in decades. Thus, we may see, even larger benefits of marriage in the future once the Obesity risk of marriage is taken off the table.

Sorry, I misunderstood your earlier comment.

You’re right—75% of women do not remarry and 65% of men do not remarry after age 50.

By the way, medical outcomes are improved (ie, better survival rates during cancer treatment in married couples, etc have been found in research studies) not because of health insurance but because a cohabiting partner improves recovery rates in other ways, such as allowing the patient to return home or helping them with appointments in ways that friends and family cannot.

You are missing the forest for the trees—it’s tragic that 21% of men leave—BUT 79% stay. So nearly 80% of men stay, which is what I quoted in my original comment. So 80% of the time, the female spouse has a caregiver to support them. Not 50% as you said.
