“Married to someone far less intelligent than me”
I got married earlier this year. Long story short, we had been back and forth for a few years and I finally knuckled down and pushed through my doubts and issues because I trusted it would work out and be a positive step for me.

A Message To All The Short Guys Out There
Lucas Byrd is about 5-foot-5.

Being short and spending your entire life pissed off about being short.

A Stripper Explains the “Game” to the Guys Who Don’t Get It
Let me save some of you a great deal of money and embarrassment: when a stripper sits beside you, laughs at your jokes, touches your arm, and acts fascinated by your story about crushing your quarterly sales target, she is working.
That does not mean every smile is fake or that she secretly hates you. It means you are inside a business where attention, attraction, conversation, and fantasy are the products. The sooner you understand that, the more enjoyable the experience becomes for everyone.

“My mom 70s works full time to support my non disabled 50s brother”
My oldest brother is in his 50s and hasn’t worked consistently in close to 20 years. He lives alone, rent free, in my mom’s second home, which she used to rent out for extra income.
He pays for nothing. My mom covers the mortgage, utilities, his phone bill, his cars, his food, and basically every other necessity.
After my dad died a few years ago, my brother convinced my mom to buy him a new car so he could DoorDash. He already had a paid off car that she had just spent $5,000 fixing for him.
