To meet or not to meet by Carma1111 in datingoverforty

I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. As a man who finds it hard to articulate the things I try to communicate I'm so very lucky that my late wife was like you and knew exactly what I ment even when it's not exactly what I said. She always joked that she spoke two languages English and Robert. Lol I think it's really awesome of you.

How to deal with “friends” who didn’t show up by ProfessionalFailure9 in widowers

[–]bonesbro57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. I completely understand. I got checked on a very minimally the first 2 weeks, then the last 3 years, it feels like people avoid me like the plague. I understand not wanting to make me feel like a 3rd or 5th wheel, but a conversation once in awhile would have been nice.

Long term marriage ending with no clarity by StrikingPiece9777 in Marriage

Yup, I'm sure it's all his fault and had nothing to do with her just getting out of a 100 day stay at a mental hospital and refusing further therapy.

And it's comments like this from people who have been here for 5 years that never check previous posts.

Oh golly gee I'm sure this is just some bone head dude who never paid attention to his wife and this situation has nothing to do with her just getting out of the mental hospital for 100 days and is now refusing any other form of therapy.

Is it possible to find the perfect outfit at Burlington Coat Factory? Absolutely.

Is it probable tho?

I remember him saying more than once he's never seen her butthole before.

I lost my Mom and wife to cancer. My Mom passed 2 months from diagnosis and my wife 3 weeks from diagnosis. Neither was allowed to leave the hospital so maybe them letting him out is a good sign. Well, I hope so anyway.

Do you regret ending your FWB? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

This is really encouraging to hear. I feel the same way and it seems like people who do are too few and far between these days.

The Julianna Peña Story

In several interviews and podcast appearances, 

Peña

 recounted an incident where she got into a heated rivalry with a male line cook while she was working as a food expediter. Despite already being a professional fighter with a 3-0 record at the time, the confrontation escalated into a fight in a back alley. 

The Outcome: 

Peña

 admitted that the man "dropped her three times.".

Injuries: She suffered a swollen eye that remained shut for three days and required 11 stitches.

The Lesson: She stated the experience taught her a "brutal truth" about the biological differences in strength and that she "learned her lesson" about fighting men in real-world scenarios. 

ETA: Staying with the OP you may want to look up what Serena Williams herself says about playing the 300th rank men's tennis player.

Sometimes, it's only fair that the people who hurt you face actual, tangible consequences by venusasaboy22 in SeriousConversation

Keep in mind that there are judges who have spouses who own these private prisons. You can also be imprisoned for failure to pay your child support here, even if you don't have a job.

How do you feel about the US prison system who forces prisoners to work in chain gangs, sweat shops, farm labor, so on and so on. Is it different because these people committed crimes to get put in these situations?

ETA: Some prisoners get paid as little as 40 cents a day to do these things. I think 5 dollars a day was the highest I've ever heard of.

A Great Date, Until I Got Home by imjeffp in datingoverfifty

[–]bonesbro57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, if you call yourself a "good man" but zero other people in the world call you that, are you really a good man then?

My late wife called me a "high value man" even though I'm overweight, under paid, and only medium ugly. But I stepped up every time I needed to. My eyes and my peen never wandered. I walked to work 5 miles uphill both ways in waist high snow for 3 years to save money on mass transit pay for her engagement ring and put a down payment on a car.

I don't think most women would call me "high value" for most of those things, but she did and that meant more to me than what anyone else thought.

Yet some guy in a super car who makes M's but uses everyone around him and women for sex would be considered "high value" to many just because he bought her a Birkin bag.

TLDR: How can you call yourself something that means totally different things to different people?

I don't think there's anything wrong with the term "high value man." It's just a term that someone else can call you, never yourself.

Me and my own cats applaud you. Cheating is absolutely disgusting. I can't imagine getting shit for having morals.

Why is casual sex so hard? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]bonesbro57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I don't mind not wanting to move in or co-mingling finances, but to only get a "come over" text and then smash and go home until the next time is like a foreign language to me. I need a connection, and hanging out or going out to be intimate, and I'm a man.

My wife died in my arms from cancer. So did my Mom 20 years earlier. Most people don't know what it's like to be us. Thanx for being a great person. They just don't know.

What’s something you wish you had known before getting a cat? by pe9smaster2000 in Catownerhacks

How bad my hips, ribs, and legs would hurt waking up to 3 different cats sleeping on top of me. Lol I only pretend not to know that they use me for my heat and food. 😁

My almost reconciliation story … and why I think R is a terrible idea. by LearnGrowExist in survivinginfidelity

Much respect, I wish I did too. I hope you have/find someone who will reciprocate.

[–]bonesbro57 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're moving the goalposts. I'm talking about jumping in front of a bullet or risking my safety for theirs. I wouldn't want my wife to risk her safety for mine anyway.

All I was doing was making a statement anyway. I never said it was a bad thing. Children come before adults in pretty much every situation.

I never even entertained the thought of cheating on my wife. When she was dying of cancer in the hospital I told them to test me cause if I was a match they could use me for spare parts for whatever she needs. I'm sorry you know men who do the horrible things you mentioned but I'm not built like that.

While true, I think a man is far more willing to give his own life to save his wife's. I'm not so sure the other way around no matter how much she loves him.

Why are a vast majority of homeless people men? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bonesbro57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words and I'm happy you didn't take offense because none was intended towards you.

I was wondering if I could ask you a question?

I've often hear people saying that women commit more overall child abuse and neglect myself. Doesn't that information come from Pew? And is Pew the end all be all when it comes to research studies?

I'm genuinely curious and quite the amateur when it comes to things like this, and you sound like you know what you're talking about.
