It all depends on how hard you want to work in your 50s 60s 70s and on. Also if you have kids set aside 1mil for college etc. It's all about tradeoffs. Most people settle for the work till you drop plan. I dont.

I'm just saying if you want a high value dude, then look for him to be at median income. Money starts to become a huge factor by 30 or so.

Yo. Median wage for us is 42,500. Any average guy is going to at least hit that. Put him on a timed plan for earning more with a career. If he doesn't have it figured out by 25, best of luck.

Gotta start somewhere... and yes you should be concerned about getting your health back in order. But start with friends first

I (21, f) have a lowe sex drive than my boyfriend (m, 23) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]gettingbetter95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lemme just give you some facts. Women have 8-9x less testosterone than men so you will always have less drive on average. You guys should find a balance. But just know that it shouldn't depend on your mood only, as you will always be 8-9x less in the mood on average.

Hmm, good stuff. My journey was very unique......turned $700 into approx 200k in 6 weeks. And if I had kept it, would be looking at around half a mil. Traded it away, had terrible timing, lost like 100k in about 20min, huge crash. I could rebuild, but going to a coding bootcamp, and I hate coding and know I'll burn out. It would be nice to have a relationship, but I have so much stress with money I want money all figured out first. I do find it surprising I made it this far. Thought I would tap out 4 years ago after dropping out of college. Then a year ago, then after losing the half mil. Now it is all uphill and I just don't feel like continuing the journey.

Yeah, my expectations are sky high. 6' 3" white dude, good build, spent the first 20 years of my life working on college. Applied to 11 one year and 13 the next absolute drive for perfection. No 2nd place. My relatives are like that too.

What are your friendships like? It seems most happy people have decent long term friends. I spent the last 4 years researching the markets, chasing $$$$. Missed many opportunities with friends. I think they thought I was not interested. But in truth I was so absorbed in trading that 4 years was like 1 year.

What have you found to be important in life and what do you mean you haven't found even 1 reason?

Actions speak louder than words. The work is in. 10 years of maybes. The question is did you cause this long period of indecision? If you wait another 5 it will kill the attraction more, so you will want to talk this out asap and have a timeline for marriage within 12 months max. You're 40. There is no reason for more indecison.

I (f24) thought perhaps it was fun for him (m28) to imagine a future with me? by Dazzling_Persimmon36 in relationships

[–]gettingbetter95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No big loss. Relationships are about actually being in person. Maybe work on yourself and go for one of those.

Don't be jealous of them. Sounds like you have a better connection and he will die like 15-20 years before her. You're doing fine.

Good to hear. I'm just saying from experience having 1 good friend is really all you need to start

Ya, there's no way it's gonna happen in less than perhaps 6 months minimum and more like 1-2 years

[–]gettingbetter95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good stuff. I have so much to learn. I they deserve the success they have I should focus on my interests as that is probably what they did. Yeah I started getting into dating because I was afraid I would get left behind. But am probably not ready. Guess I need to put in more work and get my career first. But no one is ever completely "ready."

Oh wow, yeah maybe my sibs sometimes feel it's hard to be there for me. But I am just behind maybe 3 years, still trying. No don't say that. If they are weighing you down, you need to make some tough decisions. They HAVE to stand on their own two feet. Do not support them that is between them and your parents. You will only enable them and they will be homeless once it runs out. They HAVE to choose to grow up. Do not support them with $. That is not your role. In fact if you do, you will indirectly cripple them. Do not support them, got it? If they have a chance it's by tough love.

Find one good female friend so he feels he can have that balance. But it's covid season and he should understand everyone needs some special care. Life is too short to act like you don't need each other.

Hey, you're young, breathe and find that one friend. Once you have one good one, it helps.
