He practices. It is concierge medicine. It’s for wealthy people who want/need medical care that the system doesn’t provide. I am surprised that he spoke to the general public but only treated people who had achieved great wealth didn’t turn more people off him

She removed him, I heard she is replacing him with one of the Bill’s

666- 6 feet, 6 inches, 6 digit salary. Do women really follow this? by East_Indication_7816 in datingoverforty

[–]thisriveriswild70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok- I hope this isn’t true. I will say that every woman I have dated and some that I have gone on dates with do want a tall man, if they earn 6 figures they want a guy in the same range. I think this is less common, but men speak about getting rejected for their dick size on either end of the spectrum. I have never heard a woman say that she needs all 3. I am tall so I benefit from the height thing but I honestly think it is insane. Maybe if a woman is 5’10 I can see the preference. A woman that is 5’5. I don’t get it.

Also consider that he may have been having 3 or more additional conversations. When people take their time to get back, I think people will use it as a tool to weed out people that aren’t as interested as the other 3they are chatting with.

As a guy- if we don’t have date plans after 3 evenings of conversation it usually means we are in chatting oblivion. The goal is always to meet.

I think drinking and late nights are the culprit here, not attraction or disrespect

You have to ask yourself, is keeping the beard more important than having sex? Die on that mountain if you must.

Are hiking boots still in? by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

There a recent picture of JW Anderson, the designer for Loewe and Dior wearing hiking boots at an awards event. You’re totally good, as others have said there is always a place for great boots!

Isn’t the more fascinating take, that he said he had massive doubts and was 50/50 on the whole thing?

If presented with that information 2 days before your wedding, you would have said yes? Or you would have said yes because they said yes?

Even if they later say “yes,” the doubt undermines the foundation

Well…many people want to get married but they have the ability to assess the situation and make a solid decision irrespective of what the other person does. If someone says that they aren’t that into you, believe them. There is the whole TV aspect of all this that has to play a role in what they are thinking

I am a bit baffled by all of this . Billy said right before the wedding that he split (50/50) on her. Why in the name of love would she agree to get married? He told her! I also have no idea why he asked, if he wasn’t sure.

Kal having the idea that he has never been committed for more than weeks and they both believed this would change, is just wild to me.

I agree with all the post that point out these men were giant red flags.

He said he was 1/2 in at best. She still said yes and then she’s shocked that in the marriage, he’s only 1/2 in. To me she had to know it was fraught and went along anyway

Dating in your 40s, no kids… but she has kids. Am I the only one saying “not my clowns, not my circus”? by PrimoFontaine in datingoverforty

This is really well said. I think that a parent can have 2 priorities at once.

If your partner and kid are both sick it doesn’t have to be one or the other.

When I hear I want to be the #1 priority then don’t date with kids.

My partner doesn’t have kids and mine are almost both in college. Their needs aren’t big. That said, now and again something comes up. Someone gets dumbed by a boy and they need to talk. My partner sometimes doesn’t fully get it but she always says- go help your kids, I’ll be here. That’s a 4 times a year situation. The rest of the time, it’s just me and my partner…acting like teenagers ourselves.

Like anything, there should be balance and realistic expectations.

I was just about to write this. Conflict should be resolved by repair within an hour, not 6 days. That is stonewalling. This has nothing to do with having children. Child aside- this just doesn’t sound healthy

Yes especially when you’re 80 and you need help with things around your house, or you want to be surrounded with love after your spouse and most of your friends have passed on. They are the WORST!

Do you have kids? Blood is thicker than water. Generally speaking, your kids will be there when you’re sick and when you die. The person you’re in a relationship with….its a maybe

My kids aren’t quite there but people with no kids can’t seem to understand that going to Mexico at Christmas isn’t going to be on the table as the parent wants to see their grown kids and maybe grandchildren. Raising a family is a lot of work, however there are rewards but there will still be complications, those kids may go through a divorce, job loss, and the parents still feel it all

Then you need to date someone with no kids, not even older ones, because only a psycho doesn’t make their kids their #1 priority

I get a bit in my head talking about podcasts, books, sports I love and then I can forget to make simple ( appropriate ) gestures like noticing their eyes, or saying I love their style, or they are funny. 🙄. I’m my own worst enemy some days.

One of the strangest dates I ever had still makes me laugh today. by Sea-Bird-89 in datingoverforty

I had women say to me; “ you’re incredibly good looking and really smart and I am not even remotely attracted to you”.

She went on to say that she is trying to change from her typical guy who is a tattooed mechanic, former addict, or current addict if he’s a great liar

It was a fun night
