Politicians are a reflection of the people who vote for them.
Including local elections, state elections, congress/parliament elections and primary elections.
Politicians don't come out of thin air. They are voted in by your family, friends, neighbors, teachers, members of your community, etc. |

| Dave Ramsey applies to a niche of people. Middle class to upper middle class people who waste money on bad purchases. For those people, just the basics of spending less, saving, etc. works. But once you have the financial basics down, there's not much else Ramsey can do for you. And if you're legiti... |

| In general, I've learned to: Never assume how your partner feels and to never assume the intent behind their actions For example, you can say that you feel a certain way about something your partner did/said. But I'd never judge their intent. It also helps to communicate earlier on what your needs a... |

| Men shouldn't be worried about the #metoo movement. To put this in perspective, even the majority of men who commit sexual assault don't end up getting prosecuted. (So you're not going to get sued just for talking to a woman) A guy's risk of getting rejected does not come close to the risk that wome... |

| I don't look at social interactions just as masking. If I'm asking a person questions, it's because I want to get to know them - not just because I'm copying something neurotypicals would do. The fetish/kink community can sometimes be difficult for people on the spectrum, since those are very contex... |

There's much more acceptance toward neurodivergence now than there was 10-15 years ago. If you're nice to her, and respectful, I don't think there will be any issue. |

If you like her, talk to her again. Text her and ask her out for lunch/dinner/coffee/icecream/whatever.
I'm not a fan of instantly rejecting oneself so that other people can't reject you. Having X% chance of seeing someone you like again is better than having <X% chance. |

| How can I trust escorts? How likely is it that they will rob me and leave without giving any sex? I think you took the wrong point from my post. Even if it were successful, it wouldn't really change your life. It would be like giving you a fish (or paying a lot of money for one), but not really tea... |

| I'm sex-positive and support the right to sex work. If that's what you really want to do, you have no judgment for me. But just keep in mind, this isn't a long-term solution to the problems you have - it's just a short-term bandaid. Even if you pay for an escort, you'll get 1 night of sex. You may r... |

I've viewed this forum for about 10-15 years.
I'm not sure the culture here was always like this, and I just noticed now. Or if this is a recent development. |

The later.
I don't feel like of either of those men as mentally fit to have a 2nd term.
One of them has 20 sexual assault cases, supported an insurrection and talks to white supremacist groups. So I have to vote the other by default. |

| I agree. This forum is often the blind leading the blind. It's people on the spectrum with a lack of dating experience and social lives getting advice from other people in the same exact situation. A lot of the advice on here tends to be superficial things like "get a better job, get more clout... |

Getting love and respect from people requires time, effort, listening to the other person and genuinely caring.
Some people want to believe they can circumvent all of that just by spending money. |

| For me, sex is not just about sexual stimulation. It's about the intimacy and communication during it. Cuddling bare and giving each other lots of kind words and affection. Giving my partner a full body massage with candles and relaxing music. The foreplay. The aftercare. The roleplaying. I don't ha... |
