Chuck Norris died today :(
I've started a YouTube channel/ community.
A lot would have to change in my life for me to bother making videos for YouTube, but I still plan to post and comment there to try to drive some traffic to the dot reds.
That, and I really need to stop commenting on manosphere videos and posts with Google accounts linked to my real name
@Kloi I've saved a shit-ton of money over the years ever since I learned how to use tools and fix shit myself. I think my proudest repair was our washing machine.
But then there are occasions in which the work is best left to professionals and/or my time is more valuable than the money and/or I just don't want to do it.
@MidgetSpinner @MidgetSpinner that poor bastard. I mean, almost all of us have been there at some point, missing an eager lay because we didn't see the signs until we already left.
I remember an episode of "Seinfeld" in which a woman invites George up to her apartment for coffee. He declines, saying something like, "eh, no thanks. It's way too late in the day for coffee. If I have some, I'll be up all night. Well, see ya!" Then maybe 30 seconds later as he's walking down the sidewalk, the realization hits him.
It happens to all of us at least once or twice (or several times, in younger me's case). I hope that OP dude learns from this and takes better advantage of his next opportunity.
Anyway, I still have to post this pic after reading all of his nerdular nerdence:

Autistic Reddit Engineer gives Ted Talk during Netflix and Chill.
Man I can't quite remember the quote but it's something along lines of poverty building skills out of necessity.
I am blessed to have been handed down the skills to avoid calling professionals for beyond minor repairs.
That being said, I can not wait until the day I am finically set up, the the point $140/hr shop price is more appealing then sloshing around under my car at 9pm, in 2in of icey slush to replace my shifter cable.
OP is not looking for advice. She is looking for confirmation she is correct to divorce.
In the words of Kurt Cobain: "With the lights out, it's less dangerous! Here we are now, entertain us! I feel stupid and contagious! Here we are now, entertain us!"
She sounds simply BORED. The modern womanese trend is to demand men be LEADERS but not "LEADERS" who, say, suggest marching up and down the square: https://youtu.be/ucgU2DJlBiw?t=26 But rather who LEAD by PLANNING (and paying for) exciting excursions to, say, Paris!
As shown above, even when he does make a sincere effort to give her what she wants, she HATES this (ick) PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY because, wait for it:
He's NOT the boring one in this relationship!
He meets her demands and does what she asks and she's still bored because SHE is boring! "I want to go to a movie!" "OK" "This movie is boring!" "ok" "What do you mean ok? It's YOUR fault this movie is boring! Can't you PLAN a more exciting movie for me!?!?"
By her OWN admission, he's attractive and smart which, considering the modern woman's Shallow Hal standards, he's in the top 20 percent.
This happened with my cousin's ex-wife. He's a 6'3" blonde guy with a small pot belly and a bland personality and she was plump and "bored" so she hit the bar scene after divorcing him to replace him with an even blander, shorter, guy. He hooked up with and married a prettier, 15 years younger version of her.
In the past, these divorces were initiated by the men who wanted to, as we say in tech, "tech refresh" an aging wife with a younger model and were penalized for it. If they're childless and she's working, she's doing him a FAVOR and doesn't realize it.
Read MoreFirst off, I see plenty of comments on her own appearance. Fair enough, since she brought up looks in the first place. I recall someone in history warning that if you judge others, you will be judged by the same standard. I don't think she is the ugliest woman ever, but I am not seeing her as a gold standard for looks either.
Second, I think women highly overstate how many "beautiful" and "gorgeous" women there are. At the very least, they are far more lenient on women and far more critical on men. Just remember these things when men are accused of being shallow when it comes to looks. Men may judge on looks, but the criteria is often far more lenient than we are given credit for. For many men, a "good enough" standard is applied where a man will be happy to have a relationship with a woman who passes all his requirements for looks, even if just barely doing so. Women may eventually settle for a man who does not quite meet her inflated standards for physical appearance, but she will often not be happy in the end. Rather, she will resent the man she ends up with for something he did not really even do (not be as attractive as a previous man she wanted). This mindset is far more damaging to relationships than men's supposed "shallowness" with looks.
