That's just... Smh!

@Ashley546 Personally, I'd want someone emotionally mature enough to understand their older partner. That's hard to find these days regardless of age or the gap. But everything else shouldn't matter much. Not to me anyway.

@Ashley546 I guess that depends on the person. What they're looking for. Casual, or something for a lifetime. I avoid temporary things. But that's just me. It's been and will remain a priority. But generally, I think being calm, positive and independent (especially in a difficult situation) is a great sign of maturity. I would appreciate that in a woman. But this takes time ofc. An iron will, intelligence, resilience, wisdom, boundaries too I guess, in the woman. I wouldn't care about all that as long as she's comfortable.

@AAfro25-5 Doesn't happen all the time, tbh. But when I do look at it consciously, there's so many things it makes me feel. But ultimately, it's when I wanna feel empty, that do gaze at the clouds. Day or night, it leads me to the thought of trivial things I often miss.

Now... I am free...
I have no strings on me...

Check this out if you will!

@flyboy69 Dude most of the girls are big players, here! The ones bold enough either show you the bone and play or just bugger off when you've served your purpose. Imo. Ofc, you can't forget the really weird ones. Maybe God knows what they're after and why!

@Lazz Thank you mate! I need some help finding the country music here:

@flyboy69 I think you're lucky man! But still there may be some genuine ones around here. All the best to you! 😄

@Canadian-guy Wow, mate! That's something really. Glad to know. All the best to you!

@David2711 Yeah. I checked it out. Hadn't known before. Thanks mate!

@knownsense Basic instinct mate. All of this makes us responsible too. But there's several ways of looking at it.

@Heinz It never is mate. I think the cost of saving lives is aptly high enough. Maybe we underestimate the risks involved.

@Canadian-guy said in Why do you think healthcare is so expensive now?:

I live in Canada, pay more tax, my employer pays for most extra costs so I really don't worry about it tbh. Don't go to your dr unless you actually have something serious. Stay home if you have a cold

Well that's great, mate! But think about it this way... Can you afford the COVID treatment for your whole family rn (God forbid)? With whatever you earn?

@David2711 In Asia too, my good sir. There's a lot of countries other than the US. There's places that have facilities hours or days away. Getting there's a struggle. Being ripped off then is another.

Responsibility and vigilance is just rubbish .. No one is safe from the fact that you can be hit by an ordinary cyclist .. This is a simple example .. Go to your doctor, get treatment and look at the bill at the end .. But this is just an accident and not a systemic disease . Be prepared for a heart attack or cancer? do not make me laugh...

I concede, we can't generalise about being safe from all hazards. But there's things we can control. And we can live well knowing everything else will be perfect. It isn't obviously. Mostly. But there's a small difference between being cautious and responsible and, being paranoid and too rigid. Now, a person living a cautious and healthy life is less susceptible to ailments, and that's a fact, though not entirely immune. However, what you're talking about can happen to anyone. But it's also quid pro quo. You be careless, you pay for it. It's survival of the fittest!

What's up dude?
