NotHereToPlayGames Posted February 9 Posted February 9 "Background of dating profile" furniture in the US as a barometer of poverty? You really are grasping at straws! All those "background of dating profile" pictures really reveal is the dating pool. And as I have already stated, the US HAS BECOME A CESSPOOL OF DRUG ADDICTS, I'm confident that those "dating profile" REVEAL THE SAME CESSPOOL. IF YOU WANT THEM, YOU CAN HAVE THEM! Last I heard (though no, I am not part of that "scene"), many DATING PROFILES HERE IN THE US ARE MARRIED, again, you can have them. A quick internet search indicates 65.3% of Tinder profiles are "in a relationship or even MARRIED". Again, you can have them. Cheaters like to date cheaters. Trade in every other month. Keep it exciting. That's what you want, that's not what everybody wants. A quick internet search indicates only 30% for "dating apps" in general. So maybe it's just a Tinder "problem" or "advantage", your POV is not the only POV on the planet. I really cannot speak towards furniture here in the US. Everybody, and I do mean *EVERYBODY*, prioritizes just what they want to spend small or large portions of their income on. I've owned the same exact furniture that I bought on a 17yr old income when I moved out at 17yrs old. I still have the same EXACT furniture. The waterbed now holds a mattress instead. But it's the same exact furniture from when I bought it at 17yrs old. To each their own. Some folks like to trade cars every two years, "vanity of vanities" to always 'be seen' in something *NEW*. To each their own. Some folks do "out with the old, in with the new" regarding furniture. Everbody has their own priority. It's not for YOU (or ME) to decide everyone's PRIORITIES IN LIFE. I guess I'm doing okay, my furniture is *REAL* and *SOLID* and *WOODEN*. Not Ikea particle board and glue and cheap-import fabric. Everybody is "entitled" to prioritize their own spending. But YOU ARE CORRECT, the last thing I want in my living room is "Ikea Furniture" (no offense to the Swedish company Ikea). I'm saying you are RIGHT in that regard, folks that buy NEW furniture instead of OLD "get what they pay for" and most of the NEW stuff is crapified, cheap, and plastic. Then that "new" won't last but 4 to 5 years and needs REPLACED - with another round of crapified, cheap, and plastic.

I'm single, I live alone. I think you might wanna take your words back. And as usual, you're drifting away from the topic, and I remind you, we were discussing the cheap US furniture and the cause for it - the declining quality of life, how then you'd explain they had better 15 years ago? It is the same pool of public. EDIT: I now block US females because of that. Edited February 9 by D.Draker 1

While everybody else "my age" is waiting another 15 to 20! Or just admitting that they will "never retire". Again, IT'S ALL RELATIVE. People that "retire early" do so because they didn't buy new furnture every 5 years, because they didn't buy a new car every 2 years, because they didn't spend half their paycheck every week at bars, et cetera. IT'S ALL RELATIVE. YOU HAVE YOUR LIFE, I HAVE MINE. You do what you want to, I shall continue to do what I want to - it's been working out well for me! DO NOT CARE if you think the furniture in my living room makes me "poor" or not. I WILL NOT BE WORKING UNTIL THE DAY I DIE, and that defines me by my standards.

My intent was that DATING APPS are FILLED with people already in a relationship and even already MARRIED. The numbers are so staggering that you cannot claim that you yourself, reliant on those dating apps, have had to arrive at a date and then walk away due to the person met via the dating app being ALREADY MARRIED, that is, "if you are not a cheater" then you walked away. If you just allowed her to "trade in" her current relationship, then you enabled HER to be a CHEATER. If you do not date others that are already IN A RELATIONSHIP, then under that and that alone, then, NO, you are not a cheater.

Apologies accepted, but I'm just lost, you wanna imply those at 18 were already married, then got tired from their husband in the same year and made a dating profile? Is it common in USA? I did't know that. As for the furniture, I throw out mine every 8-10 tears max, except for the antique I inherited. I can't trow away the antique pieces because they have dark energy and my protection in them, and I'm fond of black magic. But we have a very good industry that collects and reuses the materials, so no impact on the climate.

But hey, you go right ahead, nobody really cares about the ego-chest-pound. But to answer your question, NO, they were not "married", but that does NOT mean that they were not already in a relationship and if you like dating those that are already in a RELATIONSHIP, then either you or her is a CHEATER, by definition. If you WALK AWAY the moment you find out the "dating profile" LIED about BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP OR NOT, as many dating profiles *DO*, then you have my RESPECT for WALKING AWAY and *NOT* being a CHEATER. If, on the other hand, you "steal" 18yr olds from their like-aged boyfriends, then, well, you see why I would call that "cheating". You or her or both, I'll let your own conscience define that, 'cause as I already cited, I DO NOT CARE about your "player lifestyle". Have fun with it. What works for you is not what everybody else wants out of this world. But alas, TO EACH THEIR OWN.

The 18 y.o. boyfriend is: 1 - Busy with drugs, an American drug addict. (according to you). 2 - Drowned in depression. (link) 3 - Don't want to be a climate change activist now, which young women adore. (link) 4 - Too "tired" to bring her pleasure. (link) 5 - Busy with saving for a chair from Ikea, he doesn't have money to buy her a Birkin. 1

Doors in United States are made of such horrible material, I don't know its proper name, it's definitely not eco friendly. I run to sick and womit when I see those horrible white doors in American TV shows. Pressed cardboard? And then they paint them white. Somewhere in 2007, here in Great Britain, we started to notice those awful tendencies when the developers cheap out on materials, but it's mostly in the budget class buildings. 3
NotHereToPlayGames Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Here in the US, many (not me!) will add new doors to their house *NOT* because a new door is needed, but because the GOVERNMENT throws out a "tax credit" every few years just to update the door on your house !!! As part of some "home insulation efficiency" tax credit or something. That you are allowed to claim over, and over, and over, and over again - just add a new door and claim the tax credit. Americans are *STUPID*, no offense to my fellow patriarchs, but we really are a *STUPID* nation. Spend $800 (yeah, those ugly doors cost anywhere from $500 to $2000!) on a "door" that IS NOT ANY MORE THERMALLY-INSULATED THAN THE OLD DOOR, all to add $80 to $160 or so on your "tax refund".

At least you don't die for free for some dictator. Would you mind telling, which materials you had used for your house? Are they natural? No plastic on the roof?

Probably, this high price was introduced to reduce the consumption? Less toxic doors go to waste.

I suspect the American house industry builds all structures from that toxic waste. In 2008, I saw an ad where they offered a house built from crap, some thin wooden bars covered with cardboard tiles, all painted white, that colour seems very important for the Americans, probably a desperate attempt to cheer up their declining quality of life? That garbage bin was offered for 80 thousands bucks!

My house isn't made of straw or clay or bamboo or mud holding sticks in place. My house is concrete, wood, iron, steel, fiberglass, asphalt, ceramic-coated mineral granules, gypsum plaster (ie, "drywall"). NOTHING in my house is "plastic". I've never heard of houses (roof or otherwise) made out of "plastic". Just how does one define "eco-friendly" ??? Don't cut any trees down for lumber? Use all plastic? I guess I'm "lost". My house is not made of "plastic". I'll even go so far as to add, "If being eco-friendly means that my house needs made out of plastic, THEN TO H#LL WITH ECO-FRIENDLY AND TO H#LL WITH CLIMATE CHANGE !!!" That's not my "sarcasm font", I DO NOT WANT A HOUSE MADE OUT OF PLASTIC !!! And yeah, "I could care less" if a PLASTIC house "saves the planet". Plastic houses, plastic cars, plastic jewelry - save that sh#t for BARBIE DOLL TOYS. Edited February 10 by NotHereToPlayGames
