| Topic | Man pays wife's student loans, she divorces him |
| Twin3Turbo 05/14/18 3:00:21 PM #113 | Offworlder1 posted... Men get a prenup so they dont get fucked up the ass in a divorce, there is almost never a time where divorce favors a man. Women who have cheated, and lied about the baby being his have gotten child support and alimony even when proven to be a liar from the guy who is not the kids father. I guess it depends on how you look at it. It could be a leg up from a "I'd be better off than you if we got divorced" standpoint, which is pretty much the power that the person that makes less money has generally speaking in the marriage because courts try to make them "whole". Either way the power dynamic shifts from woman being able to divorce as she pleases and get money to man gets to divorce as he pleases and potentially leave her with relatively little. I think these women just want some protection if the thing goes sour, which is certainly self preservation but I'm just not so sure I would call it "sinister", or their primary motivation for getting married in the first place usually. Either way we ultimately agree, dudes probably have little to gain from getting married and generally shouldn't, and they def shouldn't marry someone without a solid prenup. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 05/14/18 2:24:14 PM #111 | Offworlder1 posted... @Twin3Turbo Eh, knowing something favors you doesn't mean that you have sinister motives. By that logic, me getting a prenup would mean that I have "sinister motives" because I know that it would favor me (as opposed to getting divorced without one) My impression is that they get heated about it because they deeply value love and marriage, see it as something that is supposed to last forever and usually have some unrealistic view of how it should be or how it works to be honest. Not necessarily because there is something sinister behind it. They get into a heated debate about it because getting married is a core tenet/belief/goal/ whatever you want to call it in their life that's been rammed into their heads for as long as they can remember, and a prenup doesn't line up with their fairy tale expectations. --- |

This particular case is a bit different considering 1. Trump constantly called out Obama for golfing and says that he wouldn't be doing that so often if he were president. 2. Now Trump becomes president, does the same thing he critisized, yet even more frequently. So in this particular case, Trump set the standard. All he had to do was do it less than Obama, yet it looks like he will do it more than Obama by the end of his 3rd year or so. Definitely by the end of this term if he keeps up the same rate. I personally don't give a damn about how often Presidents take vacations or have leisure time. But the hypocrisy specifically on Trumps behalf is too blatant to ignore. --- |
| Topic | Man pays wife's student loans, she divorces him |
| Twin3Turbo 05/14/18 1:19:52 PM #108 | Offworlder1 posted... Women who refuse to sign a prenup almost always have a sinister reason not to as divorce almost always favors the woman and women know this. Eh, I'm not so sure the usual reason is necessarily "sinister" per se. I think most people really buy into the whole "unconditional love" thought process and they see a prenup as something that doesn't line up with that. I don't necessarily think "I'm going to divorce him and take his stuff" is usually the motivating factor here. At least that's the impression I've come away with when I've gotten into, at times, heated discussions with many female friends about the topic. Although I do think that deep down most women are aware that marriage in general tends to favor them. That's also an impression I've gotten from those same female friends during those same discussions. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 05/12/18 12:30:23 PM #22 | MrK3V posted... I don't want my kids to have to take care of me when I'm old, even if I have kids Just wanted to reiterate this point. I really dont think people truly think about how hard it is on your kids and their families to take care of an elderly family member. Its physically, mentally, and emotionally draining on all parties and can halt or slow down their own personal goals and growth. I would never want to put that on people that I claim to love. Ive seen that put a real damper on many families and marriages. Let the professionals take care of it, dont put that burden on them. Let them be continue to be your kids, not the person that has to wipe your ass. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 05/09/18 5:48:17 PM #143 | Grischnak posted... Twin3Turbo posted...Well, not necessarily. I've talked to women that have stated that they do stuff like that all the time to get a man's attention or try to give him an opening to talk to them. A lot of women don't like to initiate, sometimes because they feel it's the thing the man should do, sometimes because they are just as scared to do so as many men are. I agree, it could just be coincidence or maybe she really is trying to give the TC an opening. Welp TC, only way to know for sure is to try. --- |

Dude even met his fiance through this method, it's of no consequence if you strike out 99% of the time. The way I've seen someone put it was something to the effect of "Even if only 1/10 women wanted you to approach them, if you approach none of them, you're doing so to appease the other 9/10, when your mindset should be about making the 1 happy. Appeasing the 9/10 leaves you where you were to begin with" or something like that. To a degree you have to be a bit willing to potentially inconvenience them for a bit. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not saying dudes should be disrespectful or jackasses when approaching women, they should definitely be mindful of the girls time/feelings and have some situational awareness. But at the end of the day it's all part of the way the game is set up currently, a way most of them want to keep it as well. --- |

Unfortunately, as long as the dating expectations stay the way they are, then this is a reality that will never go away. It's changing a bit, very slowly, but overall the expectation is that men approach women. And I'd wager the vast majority of women prefer it that way in general. --- |

| Topic | Is asking a girl out at a gym really taboo? |
| Twin3Turbo 05/09/18 2:40:54 PM #112 | Eh, I feel like what's being left out to some degree is how you ask them out. Just for example, I met a girl at the mall not too long ago. She was running an errand and was technically "busy" and in a bit of a hurry which by CE standards means I should have left her alone. However, she just so happened to stop for a moment digging through her purse and so I approached her. First question I always ask in a situation like that is "Hey do you mind if I interrupt you for a moment". For one it takes away the assumption that I can just interrupt whatever she is doing, and for two if she's THAT uninterested, she'll say that she does mind and we can both just go about our day, no harm no foul. Getting back to this girl, we began to chat for 5 minutes or so, I got her number, and we ended up dating for a few months and I had a good time and a few new experiences dating her and we still keep in touch. Point being here, I don't think it's so bad as long as you don't assume you can just take up her time without her permission. In regards to the gym, as some stated earlier, if she seems serious about her workout or in the middle of a set, then yeah I would be cautious about approaching her. However if she is constantly using machines next to you, it wouldn't be anything IMO to strike up a very short conversation in between sets or maybe at the water fountain. I'd try to build up a rapport with her a few times before asking personally. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 04/27/18 4:46:40 PM #64 | UncleBourbon33 posted... Sorta unrelated but it makes me lol when people accuse "nice guys" of just being nice to get laid. I'm don't normally care to defend "nice guys" but in this regard I will. People always frame it as "nice guys are only nice because they just want to have sex with a girl and think they own her", etc. I honestly don't find that to generally be the case. Nice guys are nice guys because they listened to conventional mainstream dating advice that say to "treat a girl nice" and "be yourself" if you want to get a girl to like you. So they find a girl they like and they do just that. They act extremely nice towards her in hopes that she will like them but it doesn't quite work out the way they hope. Then they wonder why they can't get a girl when they are technically following the advice given. The fact of the matter is, those things by themselves aren't going to work 99.9% of the time. There's more to it than that, but mainstream advice tends to frame it as if that's what your focus should be on to attract women. --- |

When you say "your name can't be on the house" what do you mean? Because if you mean "on the deed' then your mortgage broker is wrong. For the record, real estate agents and mortgage brokers don't know everything about real estate, especially the non-conventional side of it. It is entirely legal in America for someone to deed any percentage of their interest in their house to you, while only their name is still on the mortgage. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 04/27/18 10:36:12 AM #26 | Alkaloid posted... I agree with JE. I assume the guy bought the property by himself and later deeded half his interest to the woman. It is highly irregular for a lender to give a mortgage otherwise, because it puts a cloud on title that will need to be addressed at foreclosure. Thats pretty much what I assumed from the beginning, particularly considering the TC said the fiance would "be in and out of the house for the first 2 months". Sounds like she didn't originally live there or buy the house with him. Your friend is screwed. Gonna cost him a lot of money/time/effort to get this fixed. --- |
