Unpopular opinion:
I rarely meet men in real life who are as remarkable as the ones written in movies, but I constantly meet women who are far more impressive than the women movies give us.
bro to bro: if you like skinnier girls, get yourself a skinny girl. if you like thicker girls, get yourself a thick girl. if you like fitness girls, get yourself a fit girl. you are entitled to your own preferences.
but what you are not going to do bro, is date a girl who is not your type and make her feel inferior to other girls.
My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
“Actually… the owner called earlier today and lowered the price to $150. She said she wants it to go to someone who’ll truly love it.”
The girl completely froze.
Then she asked quietly,
“Are you serious?”
I told her yes and handed back $50 in change.
She hugged that dress so tightly and started crying, saying:
“I’m going to look like a princess.”
Later, I called the original owner and explained what happened.
I told her I’d cover the difference myself so she’d still get her full amount.
There was a long silence on the phone.
Then she said:
“Keep the money… and send the bride a veil from me.”
Kindness really does spread from person to person.
