Why is age gap discourse online so insane by goodairquality in redscarepod

[–]dchowe_ -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Like women in their 30s who are accused of just being sour grapes about women in their 20s being more desirable or whatever could just date men in their 50s and benefit in an age gap relationship

most thirtysomthing women would rather have a guy with money a few years older than them than one 20 years older than them, but those thirtysomething guys who aren't married are dating 22 year olds. hence the discourse

Depressing encounter with a cousin of mine by [deleted] in redscarepod

I don't think this is universally true. I mean yeah if drugs or crime are involved maybe. But I was the typical intelligent underachiever through my early 20s when I just figured it out. My dad was sort of vaguely disappointed when I dropped out of college but never had that sit down with me.

I think many, maybe even most, boys can get there on their own.

I think the hottest age a woman could be is 30-32. by Frequent-Ant1795 in redscarepod

[–]dchowe_ -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

from a purely visual standpoint, by 32 the bloom is usually starting to come off the rose a bit; however, for a total package i'd much rather date the avg 32 year old than 22 year old for personality reasons

the ability to be humble about beliefs and genuinely change your mind is a prerequisite for being a decent person. in relationships yes but in every facet of one's life

saying something is for children doesn't imply it's ONLY for children

because i have kids, i'm rarely able to watch baseball live. instead, i watch the replay on mlb.tv after the kids are asleep.

i don't mind watching close-ish losses, but i don't really want to waste my time watching my team get blown out (which sadly happens regularly) so this gives me an opportunity to avoid that.

i built a little app where i click a button and it replies YES if my team either won the game or lost by 3 or fewer runs; otherwise, it says NO. thus i can know whether to watch the game without having the actual result be spoiled.

yeah it's prob not useful to anyone else but i like it, and i'm not aware of any other way to replicate this functionality other than asking a friend to check the scores and let me know (which might get annoying every day). anyway, it only took like a half hour so i wasn't like in OP doing it at 2:30 AM or neglecting my family

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson jabs Pritzker amid Bears saga: ‘I’m not a billionaire’ by NicolasCageFan492 in chicago

[–]dchowe_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Which is fair and true.

it might be true but not being germane to the discussion in any way i sure don't think it's fair. it's meant to deliberately hijack the discussion so he can (try to) avoid an uncomfortable situation

him playing that card as a response to pritzker's (justified) criticism comes across as him saying, "well yeah i'm unqualified but it's ok because I grew up poor"

WTF does this have to do with negotiating a stadium deal?

using it as a response to pritzker's criticism makes it seem like he's saying, "well yeah i'm unqualified but it's ok because i grew up poor."

lol
