You look like you might be baby-making material. But first, take this Myers Briggs test! It will determine your suitability as a partner.

Bingo, echos what a said a bit further up the page, and it's completely right.

I'm 26, lost a lot of friends because of career/financial choices I've made (focused on building income, not so much partying, etc.). Don't miss them. They bitch/complain about money issues constantly. I don't.

It's almost like there's a correlation there...

I hate people who have no money but complain about it. The worse are those who aren't willing to change their lazy lifestyle and blunting say "Yeah, but I'm lazy.. Hahaha"

These people are poison to me and I stay away from them.

Yeah, she's quite obsessed with Myers Briggs types, statistics and mo money. I figured it would resonate well with the crowd here.

The problem is that many people are too young when they get married and start having kids. Many people are kids themselves when they start having children. In these cases, neither party is ready for a long-term marriage, let alone raising kids. This is why divorce rates are so high, and why so many children come from "broken homes."

I think there was an Outer Limits episode in which the synopsis was something like:

Female humans have been genetically modified so they can't naturally reproduce. If a couple qualifies under the "Proper Parenting" act, they are given pills which allow them to reproduce.

After I wrote that post, I walked away thinking, "We can screw all we want with no worries about having a kid" lol.

The problem with Myers-Briggs is that you can easily fake the test to turn your results into something you WANT to be rather than something you are.

I recently overheard a guy at work losing his shit on the phonew ith his wife saying - I MADE 288K LAST YEAR, AND WE SPENT IT ALL! --- AND WE HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT!!


Give your head a shake. ps, shes a student, doesn't work, and drives around in a benz suv

Really is sad to see some of those people who have no motivation or drive. I'm a little younger guy and just trying to set myself off well but I do have a couple friends that I'm afraid aren't making the right choices.
They don't study hard in school and tend to give up on stuff way to easy in life it's almost like living in a dream world or something. Sometimes you just need to wakeup and think about the future. I feel there is a line between following your dream and being realistic.

This! I never went on the annual or semi-annual trip to Mexico when I was younger... In fact I've never even been to Mexico yet or even to Las Vegas , but those friends who "LIVED LARGE!" when they were younger are my age (late 20's, early 30's) now who are scraping by and bouncing from job to job because they don't have any work ethic. Now, they're the ones who can hardly re-fuel their car and I'm the one going on vacations.

It's just entertaining to watch these types of people from the sideline on facebook every few months saying "Got laid off again I really have no luck this year!"

Getting married these days, in Alberta, is such a gamble. I remember a comedian talking about divorce rates and was funny, yet really put it in perspective:

"Everyone is getting married these days man. All my friends are like, 'When you gonna grow up and settle down?' Marriage is scary man. Did you know that half of marriages these days end in divorce? 50%! So I said, 'Lets look at it a different way. Say there is a street you want to cross. The problem with this street is that half the people crossing it get hit by a car and die. Still interested in crossing it?!'"

Exactly, people today "NEED" two new cars, a Mcmansion, all kinds of electronics, toys, 3 vacations a year to $$$$$ locations, etc, etc, etc

Minor edits but for the most part, if you're not retarded with your money, all these things are possible and more so if you're DINK's in O&G.

Not all of them are, but I've had this conversation with a friend recently. Lots of single girls in their late 20's early 30's, all career girls so far and all they do is party and 'go out', spend too much on vacations, are uninteresting/uninspiring people, know nothing about the real world in terms of politics/economics/world events and can't hold an in-depth conversation. Can't cook, can't do shit, but are 'pretty'.

They complain about how they can't find a good guy. A good guy doesn't want you!
