Married men make more than Single Men

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

It costs a lot more to be married. You need two cars, bigger house or apartment, and if you have kids the cost of living sky rockets. College for one kid can break you. Have 2 or 3 kids and you had better amass a fortune.

Do you push yourself to do things that scare you?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

I have developed a fear of heights over time, and a fear of intimacy recently. I don't care enough about the height thing to try to overcome it. The other kind of worries me, but it is harder to be in a position to overcome. The first l can do on my own if l desire. The second requires a partner.

Do you seek out novel experiences or do you stick to known comforts?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

At my age l can't think of many things l want to do that l haven't. A life in music is always full of uncertainty, so now l really enjoy a certain amount of comfort zone. I wouldn't walk away from new experiences, but it would have to be something intriguing.

When l gave up an advertising career in my 20's to play music full time the freedom of lifestyle was an overwhelming and wonderful feeling. The loss of material things was surprisingly easy. Everyone has to find whatever it is that feeds their needs. For me it was freedom of lifestyle, for others it is being a parent, or making money. Whatever it is, find it and go for it.

Do you use texting when you're in a fight with your significant other?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

Texting has its place in a difference of opinion or an argument. It is easier to remain on topic, and keep it from devolving into 'Fuck You! Well fuck you too! No, fuck you!', and so on. :)

Sticks48 comments on Apr 2, 2018:

If l have said anything to offend you, all l can say is l don't really care. I find religions and their effect on humanity has been incredibly offensive, dangerous, and destructive. I have known people of faith who walk the walk and keep their beliefs to themselves. Those are not the people l see getting hammered on this site. If the humor is offensive to you, you might consider another site, because l don't believe that will be changing.

What is the most adventurous thing you would go do with someone on a first date? (Keep it rated R)

Sticks48 comments on Apr 2, 2018:

Just going on an actual date would be adventurous to me. I have been single half my adult life, including now, but l haven't been on a real date since the early 80's. It has been meet and hook up or acquaintances that eventually turn into more. An actual ' I'll pick you up at seven for dinner date with someone you just met is to much pressure.

How would you feel in a relationship if your significant other refused to fight?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 1, 2018:

Men and women will argue. If not, one of them is holding something in. There are good ways to argue and there are destructive ways to argue. Male and female brains are so different. Sometimes l think the only thing our brains have in common is they are both encased in a skull. Ours may be a little thicker than yours. Let the jousting begin! :)

Do you feel a division happening in this country?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 1, 2018:

There is a divide between urban and small town America, and between educated people, whether self educated about the world or those with a college education, and those that don't really pay attention to anything more than sound bites and slogans. The inability for people in the lower and middle classes to move up the financial ladder ain't helping either. I could be wrong. :)
