If you want a spouse or even a gf, treat it like finding a full time job. Do your best to look presentable and send resumes to every place with an open position you qualifies for. It is work and it is hard work. Show your best qualities, hide your worst qualities. If your are a five, expect a five unless you have some quality that lets you level up (that quality is fame) a 7 who treats you well is worth more than a 9 that treats you like shit. We all age into looking like crap.

I always treated dating like door knocking when I sold vacuum cleaners.

I was always comfortable asking girls out (in person and online) and I’d usually set up a date every night of the week. Half wouldn’t need a follow up date, and the others would work themselves out over the coming weeks and months. Then I’d repeat.

Improved my social skills and tolerance for rejection. By the time I met my wife (on a sudsy dance floor at the bar during a foam party) she got added to the rotation and quickly rose to the top.

Been with her for 20 years now, married for 16.

Maintaining the relationship has been much more challenging than securing it; can’t really walk away from my fuck ups like I used to.

PS a lot of men seem to try to attract women the way that women try to attract men and wonder why it doesn’t work…like not long ago I told people on dating sites to look at every woman’s profile that you were remotely interested in and to not contact them first because online you have to let the woman chase for the dopamine hit. Then don’t post pictures with just you, women love group pictures for some reason and it d doesn’t scream lives in moms basement.

A couple of not particularly profound thoughts on Lauren. 1) She actually was hot 20 years ago. She looked like she had good enough genes not to have to put her plastic surgeons kids through Harvard to look good in her 50s.

2) She has her helicopter pilots license. And, she owns her own helicopter. Now, I don't know what that really means, but to me, finding a girl with a helicopter license, and a helicopter to go with it, just made her a whole lot more interesting. Adventurous? Maybe? Forgiving of my own automotive excesses? Likely. But definitely more interesting than most women folk out there.

Finally, damn shame about all the plastic surgery.

Apparently she's also going to be going on one of his silly space flights. Jeff's pretty medically-enhanced looking, too, since he decided to stop looking like a complete schlub and do roids - which started long before he hooked up with her. And they're both originally from the same city, come from hispanic backgrounds, etc.

They certainly both seem to enjoy being publicly cringey as hell together, anyway.

If I can be charitable for a moment - isn't it possible these two might actually be a match? Would she have still left her better looking, still well-off and connected husband for him were he not the richest man in the world? Of course not.

Let's get to what's important here -- I also like the cut of young Mackenzie Scott’s jib, but also current day Mackenzie. She looks better now than she did in the young picture, in my opinion, which is nice, as I am also older than I used to be.

Sanchez creeps me out.

It seems that Jeff Bezos has some perverse desire to give away another half of his fortune, when this upcoming magical union doesn't work out. Odd psychology at work here, as Jack details in the rest of the article, which came after that Mackenzie photo, which distracted me.

It shouldn't be overlooked that Bezos' ex has already remarried AND divorced again. Who does that?

As much as I want to laugh at Jeff's behavior because of my overall, intense dislike of the man, I think there's a deeper disfunction at play here that's not limited to him and current choice of partner.

My old buddy that most desperately wanted to be married AND actually managed to end up with a decent girl still couldn't make it work out. He completely cut me out of any explanation as to what was going on, as has always been his defense mechanism, but I get the impression she gradually got tired of his supplicating nature and wanted out. He's also seems to have doubled down on stupid and almost immediately started playing Brady Bunch with some single mom and their combined brood.

You seem a lot more self-aware and self-assured than that, so I think you stand a better chance than the average whiny manosphere simp. Maybe it still doesn't work out in the long run, but as long as you put in the work and always give it your best, you can take what life throws at you without regret.

Before I was with my wife, I was in love with a girl ( in a situation like your old buddy)and I was on the simpier side of that relationship. I wasn’t really getting what I wanted and complained about it to friends all the time. Most guys will stick around terrified that girl will break up with them. Hell, id seen that story a million times. For the first time in my life, I made the hard choice, sacked up, and broke up with her. She was shell shocked and I was heartbroken. Six months later I met the wife. My parents are still married. My wife’s parents are still married. I’m pretty sure that is the most reliable indicator of a long lasting marriage. Can’t really do anything about that if it’s your parents. No guarantee she doesn’t hate me after menopause…

I met my wife at an industry conference in Los Angeles in November 1989. When I saw her I knew I had to get to know her and it was more than a hook-up desire. I could tell it was deeper. How often do you meet a beautiful 28 year-old VTAM systems programmer?

We ended up in a long-distance relationship spanning Raleigh, NC and Findlay, OH. This was back in the days when long distance calls cost real money. After my second $800 monthly phone bill we decided we had to get closer together or end it.

We both changed jobs to relocate to Columbus where she had worked before. We have lived in four different states since then. So now I sit here thirty-four years later looking back on the life we have built together. It is based on trust, mutual respect, and communication. We have always made about the same amount of money so there was no resentment there. As I have posted, she is the source of all of the good in my life.

So, what's the moral of this story? You never know where and when you will meet the one. As you said you can put yourself into a position to improve the odds. The main thing is to recognize it when you have it and work hard to keep it.

I said we have built a life. It takes hard work and the willingness to fight through the rough times and the capacity to celebrate the good together.

This is clearly supposed to be an open racing thread and MotoGP was a mixed bag this past weekend but the championship remains a close fight between Bagnaia and Martin.

In the sprint race Alex Marquez rocketed away from the pack and Jorge Martin finished 2nd ahead of Bagnaia's third to narrow the points lead to 13 points. A great deal of fighting further down the field and not too much wrecking drama outside of Honda hitting the 50 crashes this year mark. Enea Bastianini finally looked strong in a race after a season plagued by injury and finished 4th in the sprint.

Race day was an early fight between five riders who gradually separated out with big gaps betwixt. Enaea won (!) the race by a large margin over Alex Marquez. A. Marquez, likewise, was ahead of Bagnaia who had passed Martin fairly early and had a massive lead over Martin (who may have had front end feel or grip issues). The championship widened from this race to a yawning gap of 14 points.

2 sprints and 2 races to go mean Martin finishing 1-2 ahead of Bagnaia in all four would win by 2 points. Anything is possible.

Same here.

I was always skinny. As a kid, being 6' 1'' 160lbs I thought of it as a curse - especially in Highschool and into early college (now in my 40s I think it's a blessing).

In my late 20s I too got into lifting. I was relatively strong and a healthier weight but was nowhere near as jacked as I thought I should be.

Got married, got a "career", got kids - and fell off lifting. Got it in my head again and decided that by 40 I would be "jacked". So 3 years ago, during Covid I got back to it.

Turning 41 (actually tomorrow) - and while I can put up even more weight than I did in my 20s - including a recent milestone of over 400lbs on *bench, I'm nowhere near as big as I thought I would be. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting The Rock here, but I thought I'd be bigger than Benzos. That shit is juice. So much of this world is fake.

Oh well, it is nice to just feel a lot better and to stave off injuries, plus keep up with the kids more.

You just need to look like you care about yourself and your own appearance to some degree. Don’t be sloppy.

"I’m holding up better, which is not a phrase I thought I’d ever use about anyone besides the fellow from Fargo who got put in the woodchipper and possibly Jerry Garcia."

My beard needed a trim and it has more than a touch of grey these days. Looking in the mirror, I said to myself, "Self, you look like Jerry." Then I remembered that I'm 68. Garcia was 53 when he died. He was a man of large appetites.

His doctor said it wasn't heroin that killed him, which was technically true as he died of a heart attack, the doc said it was the cheeseburgers and lack of self-discipline when he was using.

doc in england decades ago said heroin users who were just on a maintenance dose (which cost a couple dollars a week in the early '70s) had the same lifespan as non-users

I doubt that because that maintenance dose keeps going up

It's like those guys who say they're just gonna smoke the heroin. They always end up shooting up

99% maybe. I'm the 1%; tried it, very nice, but it obviously comes at the price of the rest of you life. No thanks.

Also, Jerry wasn't doing street heroin like what killed Mike Bloomfield (perhaps an early fentanyl death).

I can't decide if Bloomfield's death was an insane tragedy or the best way of preserving his legacy. The same is sadly true of Jaco.

How much the more so for Jimi Hendrix? Speaking of which, while I'm not thrilled that my son is into metal so hard that I don't consider it music, I am tickled that he agrees with me that that the Eddie Kramer produced First Rays of a New Rising Sun is the best Hendrix album even though Jimi didn't really make it.

Since Flavio is a personal hero of mine I'll take that as enough F1 content for a Wed.

In looking forward to a review of Keanu's documentary about Pinky and the Brain, er Button and Brawn.

A BGP documentary? I’ve read the book. It’s pretty matter of fact. No real magic aside from right place right time. I’ll watch the doc because that was my favorite season, but I’m not expecting anything exciting.

Married before I was self aware, had a child, decided I didn’t want any more children, strictly because if I couldn’t take it anymore, the child support wouldn’t bankrupt me, still married to same person, no romance. Have no idea what a house mom is.....

Life hasn’t been terrible, but if I had it to do over again I would be more discerning.

a few years back a billionaire car guy and i wound up at the same 6-person table with karen and his hot young lady. he remembered me but i didn't remember him! wife eventually says he has great taste in young women since he could afford anything. we find out she, besides taking care of him--don't wanna give him away by mentioning his problem--she has some med creds, a multi-engine rating to fly his plane, and is a computer expert--whatever that might mean. now that whole thing is a jackpot as far as i'm concerned!
