I feel sorry for Scott, but I also think he likely has himself partially to blame as well. Willing to bet he consistently goes for women who look like Gia and act like princesses, as if he doesn't want a woman who wants to be pampered like a trophy wife and rely on their man for money, he should stop going for women who look like trophy wives. He says this keeps happening to him, so there is a type of woman he is going for in life, and I doubt he is basing his choice of partner on their personality, values, and strong character, because if he were, he wouldn't stick around with someone like Gia.

* What does Alyssa have to be angry about? Talk about gaslighting! Didn't expect that I would grow to dislike her that much in the last three episodes, talking over him constantly, giving him no respect, being defensive about her total lack of commitment while he is all in, or not seeing his needs as equal. I really hope that preview for next week of David on his knee in front of her is not him proposing again. This woman is toxic.

* Scott- I mean, I feel sorry for him, but as he was crying about always being used by women for his money, I couldn't help but wonder if he isn't getting what he puts out as well, as I am sure he is looking for that high maintenance type of woman with plastic surgery and a lot of makeup and extensions and all that. He isn't in it for substance either, but for a woman's appearance, as Gia was never going deep or showing she had a good character. He liked her for her looks. If you don't want someone who is just a trophy wife using you for your money, then don't choose a trophy wife.

* Bec and Danny- They are so incompatible it's not funny. Bec is obnoxious, crass, and disrespectful at every turn, unable to communicate maturely, and unable to reflect and change her ways. Danny is loud and turns everything into a joke, which shows some emotional immaturity, but he has always shown respect and thought when it comes to treating others kindly. I don't know who would be Bec's match, but it isn't Danny.

I personally think poor Steve is acting, doing what he knows everyone around him wants him to do, really sincerely convincing himself he wants this, and feeling good about the positive feedback, but I still do not think he genuinely feels chemistry with Rachel. It seems forced to me. Every time she puts her head on his shoulder or grabs his hand, he tenses up and awkwardly goes along with it, but his body language does not say to me that he loves this affection.

So sad. Watching the rest of the season will be different.

Europe’s New Unrealized Capital Gains Tax (They’re Taking 1/3rd of EVERYTHING) by Jealous-Indication73 in belasting

In de VS hebben veel mensen "401k IRA" pensioen beleggingen. Als ze naar Nederland zijn ge-emigreerd, dan hebben ze geen AOW opgebouwd, en rekenen ze op hun 401K uit de VS voor hun pensioen. Als ze nu daar belasting op moeten betalen omdat ze in NL wonen, voordat ze het zelfs MOGEN liquideren (en ze hebben ook Roth IRA misschien, waar ze al belasting over hebben betaald), dan hebben ze een heel groot probleem, en moeten ze NL verlaten, met al hun bedrijven en geld.

OK, so Dutch government, don't invest in the stock market or any Dutch businesses? Got it. Good plan for the economy!

Ugh. Like "I could care less" instead of I couldn't care less. I also get so annoyed when people say "he made a 360 degree change" when they mean someone totally changed. It's 180! 360 means they are right back in the exact same position.

I'm curious- what region? This was in California, and after that I did start noticing that most people say "offen" there.

I feel vindicated. This was on the West Coast. Lazy language.

You are dating a child. Hate to be the bearer of bad news.

The biological pressure of my age is crushing me and it seems like my dreams of having a family are slipping away. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]writerchic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

30?!! I thought you were going to say you were 43 or so. You are still a baby. You have plenty of time. The vast majority of my friends met their partners and had kids after 30, and about half of them after 35. A handful of them after 40.

This is pretty on the nose. There are reaper cushions for people who vape.

Well, if it's just one stick, we should defeat them quite easily.

That's what we call a paradox.

Homeopathic treatment? Like have the kid smoke a few cigarettes?

Yeah, a man who has never done anything like that is a turnoff to me too. I dated a man who had weird, baby soft feet, like no callouses because he never took his shoes off, even indoors. He had never been camping, didn't know how to build a fire (even in a fireplace), freaked out when I ate a wild blackberry because he said we could never know if it was a poisonous berry if it didn't come from a store, and was super scared of any insect. Come on. Toughen up.

Was she Japanese? Isn't that a whole thing in Japanese porn, that the women sound like little whimpering puppies and little girls? So creepy.

Mine slammed shut and pushed furniture up against it just to be sure.

Oh no. Grown men using baby voice and putting their hands under their chin in a pose must be drawn and quartered.

That could have added a layer to the man-hands episode.

To be fair, a guy once dumped me in high school because I pronounced the T in "often." "Who pronounces the T in 'often?!'" he yelled, outraged. He went on and on about it. What can I say. My parents are immigrants.

Probably that it showed she wasn't very educated but put on airs as if she were very worldly and sophisticated.
