@MurrayHillGuy1 Dating in Germany: first date/night sex that seems like the girls is unloading years of aggression on you in weird ways you didn’t even know about and expect never to hear from her again. Then you start dating because you reach out but she would’ve been fine either way.
- 5’4, 160lbs
- light blue hair
- 17 piercings all visible (because who would see the ones under the clothes)
- shames people for exercising
- went to Hampton/Smiths/Scrippsand majored in gender studies and can’t figure out why doesn’t have job opportunities, must be the fault of Wall St
- last time she shaved was during the Biden administration
- feels morally superior because that is what her echo chamber friends tell her
- pronouns everywhere
- daytime lunch/coffee friend if and only if relevant to career
- if career is influencer/onlyfans/aspiring whatever, they can be friends day and night because you should move
- if not a HAC (hoe-adjacent career, just coined that), then must vibe out if they had chemistry (bad/medium/good/electric). If above medium, no regardless.
@MurrayHillGuy1 - Marketed: at an epic roof top swanky bar with smoke shows
- Reality: couple dozen self righteous 3s in some basement Irish bar in midtown east after the tier 4 bank happy hour crowd goes home
@MurrayHillGuy1 Enjoy freaking out about being single and childless at 38, Stacey.
Jeff - eat a chipotle bowl and go find 10 better cheaper, more fun and soon to be much less desperate options at any west village bar.
I have never slept next to Kate.
The only thing we do in bed is have sex.
We have separate beds and homes.
Should you do the same? Not necessarily. The science is split. Here's the data:
1) Your partner does wake you up when you sleep together.
7 nights of actigraphy sleep measurement in 55 couples (aged 18 to 72, no sleep disorders) showed about 6 partner triggered awakenings per night, on average. Roughly 1 in 5 of wake ups was set off by the partner stirring first, and participants slept through only about half of their partner’s awake time.
The catch: the study never compared sharing a bed to sleeping alone.
2) Yet couples who sleep together report sleeping better.
A survey of about 1,000 adults found that sharing a bed with a partner tracked with less insomnia, less fatigue, more sleep, and better mental health than sleeping alone.
The catch: self-reported, cross-sectional, no follow-up. Healthier, happier people may simply be the ones more likely to share beds, so this is associative at best.
3) Women's sleep might take the hit from sharing a bed.
A study of 10 couples had each person sleep at least 10 nights alone and 10 nights together. Women slept measurably worse with a partner in the bed, on both actigraphy and their own ratings. Men reported sleeping better, subjectively.
4) Polysomnography, the gold standard for measuring sleep and sleep stages, points to REM gains with co-sleeping.
A study of 12 couples found co-sleeping came with about 10% more REM sleep, less fragmented REM, longer undisturbed REM runs, and tighter sleep-stage syncing between partners, alongside more limb movement.
5) Synced sleep tracks with lower blood pressure and inflammation.
In 46 couples that slept together, the more in sync their sleepwake timing, the lower their sleeping blood pressure (strongest in women) and the lower their inflammation (both sexes). The link held even after adjusting for how often they actually shared a bed, so the driver looks like the synchrony, not sharing the bed.
Only two of these studies compared the same person in both beds, and both are tiny: 10 and 12 couples. One found the result flips by sex. The rest is correlation. The answer is individual. For some couples the shared bed improves sleep. For others, separate beds are the right move.
@MurrayHillGuy1 Las Vegas - 0 (if dinner counts), 1 (if cost of a super nice dinner with expensive wine counts)
Greenwich - 0 (married people don’t want to be seen at dinner when having affairs)
Ski towns - 0 (always post apres meet)
Hamptons - 0 or 3 depending if visitor or local
- can afford it with no issue
- enjoy meeting friends for food and drinks at night (NYC has best selection) during the good seasons (Fall and Spring)
- home apartment has separate work/living area
- near awesome gym and running area (west side highway or a proper park)
- in person meetings somewhere consistent and great nearby
@MurrayHillGuy1 Cities most likely for the person cheated on to not care for one reason or another:
1. Miami
2. New York
3. Nashvegas
Note not actual Las Vegas because captain save-a-hoe sometimes gets emotional.
@MurrayHillGuy1 Moderate - aka Clinton Democrats are now viewed as right wing extremists.
Option 1: run away from the start
Option 2: say “of course I don’t support trump, I support whoever you support” then say your politics changed with intention so you’re out after the take down.
Im one of those people (and over 30). Here’s what my doctor has told me as to why:
- Clear acetaldehyde faster (I do this via pissing 2x as much as friends when out which is annoying at time but a gift the next day)
- Cardio fitness (tolerate metabolic stress better)
- higher liver/enzyme capacity
- higher sleep deprivation tolerance via less GABA/Dopamine sensitivity
- easiest answer: higher testosterone as it’s associated with sleep resilience, better insulin sensitivity, faster tissue repair etc.
- Nashville (fake Austin)
- Numerous Euro cities (Paris/London/Barcelona/Milan/Dublin, etc)
- disagree Denver…was just there again this weekend and it’s brutal on many levels (empty Sat night bars, dry Breaking Bad weather in summer, mountains are less close than you think, more protestors than normal for small city)
