I haven't had any reason to recite it since I got out of school.

Communicate with care

Tomfoolery33 comments on Aug 16, 2018:

That's a tough one. I can speak kindly about a lot of subjects, but politics works me up too much. I find it very hard to be polite and thoughtful when talking about it, and unless I'm talking to someone who basically agrees with me, I'd just as soon not talk about it at all.

Who hasn't done this ?

I voted for work it out with your wife, but I'll tell you, if you're not having enough sex AND you can't talk to her about what you read, it doesn't look good. After my ex-wife and I were married for 20-some odd years and had a couple of kids around, our sex life suffered quite a bit, but I could always talk to her about what I was reading and what I was thinking, at least up until the very end (long story). For me anyway, the talking was the more important part.

Reading "Enlightenment Now" by Pinker. Highly recommend.

Thoughts on why so many single men mention their porn habits on dating sites and/or this one?

Tomfoolery33 comments on Aug 12, 2018:

That is weird. Of course, I never really look at other men's profiles, so I had no idea. Why would they? I don't know.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Aug 12, 2018:

I was in a rock & roll band then, too, and I hit the discos a few times, but most of that time I was already dating someone, so I didn't need to go find a woman. I still hate a lot of the disco.
