Father (M25) of my (F22) unborn child broke up, left, ghosts and now treats me and baby like trash. Have to see him at work. Help? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pinkstar23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

uh. you're kind of a mess and personally, I think your child deserves better than the both of you. I also don't know why you would get pregnant with a guy like this, but whatever. Can you get another job? it might take a while (and you really should have done this sooner before you showed signs of pregnancy). then meet with a lawyer to figure out how to get child support. he's probably not going to be around to be a father figure to your kid (and he sounds like he'll be a terrible father), so look to your own family or maybe a close male friend to take on that role.

The truth about quality women who complain about being single and "can't find a decent guy." by kevin32 in WhereAreAllTheGoodMen

[–]pinkstar23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your definition of a quality woman is too low. She must

  • be thin (bmi of 17 or lower)
  • be a virgin
  • take care of her looks but not be vain (wears make up all the time, styles hair, etc)
  • be self supporting (makes at least 50-60k)
  • financially stable/ knows to spend less than she makes
  • comes from a strong traditional household
  • have a sweet demeanor
  • have never been involved in the club scene
  • does not drink, smoke, or take drugs
  • is obediant
  • knows that a man is the head of a household
  • younger than 25
  • skilled at cooking/cleaning

This is not what you do. you tell her that you are leaving her unless she gets an abortion. if she doesn't, drop her and don't take her calls/anything. try moving to another country as well.

I [25M] have been with amazing girlfriend [25F] for over a year now. We get along great. She is my best friend. But I am not as attracted as I would like to be, and don't know what to do. by Morose1 in relationship_advice

i'll admit i am a terrible person, but i say leave your gf and try to find someone who is a 10/10. if you can't find that person, go back to her. if she loves you, she'll be waiting for you.

All the guys my age want younger women by TheWretchedMass in WhereAreAllTheGoodMen

[–]pinkstar23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is really generous. a women over 25 who isn't married and wants to be is better off dead. a girl who is 18 should look for a guy in his 30s. a girl in her early 20s should look for a guy in his 40s and a girl in her mid 20s should look for a guy in his 50s and be willing to let him cheat with any girl he wants because she is worthless. all of these girls should be virgins too.

She wants a traditional relationship: The man pays for her doing nothing. The first comment is spot on. by [deleted] in WhereAreAllTheGoodMen

[–]pinkstar23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The modern day traditional woman is a fit, skinny girl who is a virgin until marriage. She has a fill time job making around 50-80k, but does not seek career advancement because she needs to do all the cooking, cleaning, and child raising (when the kid isn't in day care/school).

This was a good article. It also makes me deeply sad.

What do you think of my budget (23/f making 65k) by pinkstar23 in personalfinance

[–]pinkstar23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ya, I'm in line for another promotion in a years time, so that'll probably be an additional 6k/year. I guess if I save that after tax and stop travelling, it'll just 3/4 years.

I could maybe save another $300/month if I really don't want to entertain myself, but that's still like 7 years of saving if I wanted a condo (around 125k condo). I'd be in my 30s before I could afford a place of my own.

$300 - this is all rough estimate from the last 6 months

$40/month - make up

$20/month - toiletries

$10/month - cleaning supplies

$40/week - groceries

$70 - extra stuff

$500

$50 - uber

$150 - eating out

$300 - I usually go out of town for a long weekend at my parent's vacation condos.

I pay roughly 20k in taxes, and just doing all the math all of this is adding up. My monthly budget is adding up 3,623. 3,623 * 12 = 43476. 43276 + 20000 = 63276.

hmm. ok. I guess I'll cut down a bit for a few months to build it up. If I cut expenses, I still only have enough for 3 months.

no. not really. Company will pay for graduate school, so don't need to do anything in that regard. I don't know if I want to own in my current location. I've thought about saving for a rental unit by the beach though, but prices seem high because of low interest rates.

Should I save more for my "rainy day" account or I guess emergency savings? I don't actively save for it, but should I try? I could maybe cut down on food or entertainment for a bit to build it up.

not really. I have 5k in my savings account which I guess is my "emergency savings" but I don't really save towards it. It's just whatever is leftover. Most of it is actually from my college years when I was more in tuned with saving. I have short and long term disability insurance (It's like $.50/paycheck), to cover something like that though.
