What has worth is worth paying for.

By paying your own way you stay clear of gratitude, guilt, and deceit.

It is also often wise to pay the full price—there is no cutting corners with excellence.

@td_nash Paul Brown and Otto Graham. The Browns went to 10 straight championships and won 7 out of 10.

@VinnysCorner1 Jim Brown. Hands Down.

@td_nash Eric Dickerson. He has the highest career YPG, the single-season record, 4 rushing titles, and incredible consistency despite playing in a transitioning era.

@td_nash Paul Brown invented the West Coast offense that Bill Walsh used. Paul was way ahead of his time.

In an era when air travel was a rare privilege reserved for the affluent and often likened to a grand social occasion, passengers approached the airport with the same reverence one might reserve for a gala or theater premiere. Men in tailored suits and polished shoes, women in elegant dresses, gloves, and hats: these were the norms of the 1950s and 1960s, when flying evoked glamour and aspiration.

This is where personal presentation reflected not merely style, but a deeper sense of occasion and self-respect. Yet today, the scene has shifted markedly. Airports and cabins are filled with travelers in sweatpants, hoodies, and even pajamas. Attire once confined to the privacy of home.

This evolution extends beyond aviation; it permeates everyday life, from the grocery aisle to the neighborhood café, where standards of presentation have relaxed to the point of near indifference.

The decline began in earnest with the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, which democratized flight by slashing fares and opening the skies to the masses. What was once an exclusive experience became commonplace, akin to boarding a bus. Comfort supplanted ceremony, accelerated by longer flights, cramped seating, rigorous security protocols, and the rise of athleisure as everyday wear. The pandemic further entrenched this shift, normalizing loungewear as the default uniform of modern existence.

While practical arguments for comfort are undeniable, hours in economy class demand forgiveness. One must ponder the subtler costs. When we cease to hold ourselves to a personal standard, do we not subtly erode the dignity of shared public spaces?

Dressing with intention is not mere vanity; it is an act of self-discipline and quiet courtesy toward others. It signals that the occasion, be it travel or a simple errand, merits effort that we value both our own presence and the company we keep.

In relinquishing pride in appearance, we risk diminishing the small rituals that elevate ordinary moments into something more civilized. Perhaps the true intrigue lies not in debating airline service quality, but in asking: What does our collective surrender to casualness reveal about our regard for ourselves and the world we inhabit together? A return to thoughtful presentation might restore not just elegance, but a measure of grace to our hurried lives.

Claiming 27-29% body fat is "optimal" for women doesn't match guidelines.
Women need more essential fat (10-13%) than men (2-5%) for reproduction.
Standard categories (American Council on Exercise - ACE):
Essential: 10-13%
Athletes: 14-20%
Fitness: 21-24%
Average/Acceptable: 25-31%
Obese: 32%+
27-29% falls in "average" – acceptable but not optimal. Risks (heart issues, diabetes) rise here, especially visceral fat.
Hip/thigh fat offers some protection vs. belly fat, but excess total fat still increases inflammation and disease.
Newer data: Best health outcomes at 20-25%.
Lower body fat (safe range) benefits both sexes equally.
Evidence > preferences for health.

This video hits hard. It's a rare, honest look at how a standout past partner can linger in a woman's mind, shaping what she compares future guys to. As a man, it underscores why we focus on a woman's full history: not judgment, but practicality. Research backs it. Women with 5+ prior partners report 20-30% lower marital satisfaction and stability than those with fewer, per studies from the Journal of Marriage and Family. Oxytocin from repeated bonds can dull over time with casual encounters, making deep pair-bonding tougher down the line, according to pair-bonding research in Evolutionary Psychology. She nails what many won't say. Those echoes affect real connections. Respect for owning it. Leads to better choices all around.
