If I had the ability to block one commercial I see now, it’s Collars and Co. Somehow it’s on repeat on many things I watch. Could they at least put another commercial out there? I might see more Car Shield adverts, but at least they rotate the commercials and celebrity spokespeople
The continually changing NHL thread title amuses me.

There’s a guy on my floor with a wallet that is AT LEAST 3.5” thick. He keeps it on his desk, because obviously he can’t sit on that bad boy.
different story here. I found my spouse attractive, but I wouldn’t say besotted. she was pretty.
her otoh, I think she wasn’t very impressed with me after our first date lol. I’m lucky she gave things a second chance.
Good news, she keeps getting more attractive the longer we are together.

My husband claims it was love at first sight with me. He was so distracted by me that he walked into a pole.
It took me a while with him, and as I always tell him, I don’t believe in love at first sight. I think he saw some t&a and a face he liked and the rest filled in over time. Agree to disagree.
this is all of us, my dude.

Sure…but that’s not love, only attraction. And a surface one.
A related article, Gen Z are finding it expensive to go on dates. The estimated cost is $200 per date (actuaries may work out how to do it more cheaply). The article mentions 20 dates as an estimate to meet the love of your life, with a total cost of $4000. I wonder if that’s enough to get past the one-third rule mentioned above?

What are they spending their money on?
My goodness, I’ve been on dates with my wife now that are on the order of $5-10 total (plus cost of gas to travel).

I’ve been on dates with my wife where we walk to our destination so don’t even need gas money. Admittedly, the selections are limited.

Well, if you go for dinner and drinks…
$200 is nothing in places like NYC and London.
Dating can get very expensive.
Student debt, auto insurance, and subscriptions.

That’s what happens when you get married. Just the one option.
Glad I have never had to date, and will never have to. I’ve met all my serious relationships through friendship and would never do it any other way. And if I’m ever again single, that’s it for me.

So, about three…

That would give you a one in three chance you won’t find a partner. Two out of three ain’t bad.

Doesn’t the whole system give you a one in three chance of not finding a partner?

Is this a requirement for time together to be considered a “date”?
Note: I’m not saying that such activities are inexpensive, but I can get to know another person w/o such activities. And I’ll likely find out more about that other person by not dropping a load of money.
And the claim that you need to spend that much for every date to make a determination for long-term viability . . . THAT is what I’m calling out.
I emphasized this to my son about what should be the priority of evaluating a potential mate. If it weren’t for the friendship I have with my wife, I would most likely be divorced by now.
So . . . if I “pick” one to be my life-time partner, and it’s revealed that one of the other two is definitely not for me . . . do I switch?
