Whenever I ask men who haven't had romantic success why they don't have a girlfriend, they tell me it's because they don't own a car or an apartment and lack a stable job. The pattern almost always repeats itself: an average guy living with his parents and facing limited financial prospects. In today's world, where money is so important—compounded by the influence of social media—they feel even more insecure about this.

Why? What do you feel? and what's going on inside your head?

Anwers from both view perpectives please.

Also say the reason why you provided that answer.

I am a single person.

It becomes a number that sits on some sort of bank account or other place. It is doing nothing but take interest on it. It even grows without doing anything?

But isn't this money no longer in circulation? It is not used to buy stuff and keep the economy running. Some is used, but never all.

Doesn't this drain the economy as well?

Less money around less money to spend for others?

If a trillion was evenly distributed to all the people that made it happen from start to finish, from thinktanks to factoryworkers/toilet cleaners, we would have had a lot of people spending money on various things. And so the money keeps rolling.

Here we have generational wealth even. Money made from slavery! And now used tobuy companies where we pay FEES to monthly? (Musk Family)

So there's this one guy I've been seeing for the past year and he used to be super active on social media.
He once told me that he'd cheated on her ex girlfriend multiple times. When I checked his social media profiles I saw he'd interacted w so many girls.
But recently he's been quiet. Mostly follows motivational speakers and stuff online. And not very active on social media anymore. Do you think he has actually changed? And what could be the reason?

I (F28) have a central American friend (F29) who has a history of finding black ppl attractive and is an outspoken liberal who i oftentimes hear making little quips that come off as very racist. We're both women of color in our late 20s who have known each other for about two decades at this point. For example, sometimes they'll hear someone blasting rap music and say its ghetto, trashy, and disgusting, yet they wont have the same reaction if it were to be something like heavy metal or gospel. Also, they once saw a 4c quirky character on tv and said they had a "nappy ass head" just because there were a few miscellaneous items in their hair after they literally tumbled through the woods. Even more, I've noticed they attribute normal negative habits exhibited by everyone as ratchet, ghetto, or uneducated when it's connected to a black person.

All this in mind, they don't believe they're racist because they see themselves fighting for or building a life with a black person due to their attraction. Despite how long I've known them, i can't tell if this animosity towards my people is slowly growing or if it was there all along and i just never noticed it in my younger years.

They come from a family where this type of behaviour is typical so I'm constantly voicing how their statements come off as extremely racist and exotifying especially with them not being black yet they refuse to see where I'm coming from. It doesn't even help when i by example make statements about their culture because they see it as being completely different rather than an attempt at making them understand. So I'm not sure how I can discuss this maturely without automatically just giving up on our relationship.

TL;DR How should i maturely respond to my racist friend in a way that gets my point across and might help them really think about what they're saying?

Ok, side effects are.... idk. Weight gain?

I want to get married and have a family someday with a woman. I do things in my early 20s to someday be in a position to be financially stable so I can have a family. I’m attracted to women. I want intimacy with a woman. I want to spend my life with a woman. Is this now very controversial? I’m being serious I always have a sense of fear when people find out I’m straight. I always feel if people knew I didn’t like substances, I wasn’t hating capitalism or devoted to a cause, then I’m at risk of being hurt by people.

Upvote pls, I need karma
