Massively. Big distance makes good habits harder. You can get a job closer to work and just find yourself losing weight. All of a sudden gym is possible. All of a sudden you’re not too tired to cook. Your social life picks up cos you can accommodate after work drinks with friends. You can be a whole different person simply by working closer to home.
One of my male friend from work said “Women always say they want honesty, but they get angry when men tell them the truth about their looks.” I asked him, “Would you want your girlfriend to honestly tell you if she thought another man was more attractive than you?” He said, “No” I asked, “Then why do you expect women to accept brutal honesty as some kind of gift?” He said, “Because men don't take things as personally” I laughed and said, “Men literally turn rejection into insults when their feelings get hurt” He said, “That's different” I told him, “Maybe honesty isn't the problem. Maybe some people just want the freedom to be cruel and call it honesty”
