It's not even asthetic PLACEMENT. It only serves as "good use of space" if it is to be the anchor for a whole bunch of tattoo art all over the leg and who is looking to marry Lydia The Tattooed Lady?

If they broke down in tears on election night 2016, they are not strong or smart.
That accounts for half the women in this country.
I guess I’m lucky. Neither of our in-laws does anything remotely like that...
Moving away not an option??sorry.
Is that mold on her arm?
A birthmark?
Teenage rebellion?
May be, but I’ve heard that there are 100,000,000 Christians in China. May not be “majority” but it is a number increasing while in America the number is decreasing.
Women can bring everything to a marriage. They have to choose to.
The primary issue is most don’t know what they want, and lack the confidence to admit it. Generally, when they put words to it, that all goes away.
>>When I quit a job or get fired, I don’t expect to still get paid.
You obviously don’t work for the government or as a corporate executive.
The first husband, after we divorced, people in my life starting coming up and saying they never liked him, didn’t think we’d go far, etc. We were very young, from different countries, etc. The second time I was older, and asked everyone in my life to vet this one. They all gave him rave reviews, in case my judgment was off. Didn’t help, in the long run.
I find this hard to believe. Is this a federal law? State law? If so, same in all 50 states? Where would I research this?
Perhaps. But just seeing marriage as permanent doesn’t connect with happiness. Being alone, doing all the work myself, supporting them all myself impossibly, is almost like not being a human, just being a servant. Yet I am happier now (not very though) than I was living with someone who treated me poorly. A bad marriage is worse than a bad “singlehood.”

“Here’s your sign.”
Political views of a potential mate are very important, in the long run, if two people have vastly different political views, odds are the relationship is not going to work out.
The middle class in China is going its own way. A billion poor farmers still support the party, and the leadership still gets hung up spouting Maoist rhetoric from time to time - but the culture has already in large part slipped away of their control. It's going to be a very different country in another decade. Not necessarily better for the national interests of the USA and of China's neighbors, but the problems China will pose to the world will be far less military/totalitarian and far more economic/cultural.
"a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle"
It expresses that women have NO need or even USE for a man. And that was mainstream feminism circa the 1970s.
Uh oh, the 50s don't look the same since time travelers started going there.
It was all a big complicated mess as I’ve recounted too many times to countless strangers, however well-meaning in their advice on the situation. Unfortunately too late to save the situation 14 years past.
I’m more or less amazed at my shocking inability to find anyone since in reality, despite trying in my peculiar circumstances (not that I’d ever dare to bring someone into such a situation, it would be handled far differently now).
I’ve always hated it (re feminism) Even in its subtle, man-bashing forms. Look at woman to woman greeting cards. #1 theme: insulting men.
I adore men. They are straightforward and great company. I would prefer to hang with three guys than three women, though I love my fellow women too. But I hate drama and cliques and “group herding” (by shaming), and women do it 99% more than men do.
Feminism never served me. My mom heard the siren call and ditched us as kids for her high powered career. I’m lucky I even lived through her hands off parenting.
And then there’s the issue of the cost of a wedding. Heck, you have to save for ten years just to afford, since nowadays less and less parents are willing to pay for their kids’ weddings.
There are a bunch of Korean churches around the DFW area.
That’s well put. Thanks
