Geez most people are afraid of having kids because of the...media...

We are fortunate.

The new Murdoch Murdoch knows what I’m talking about:

MURDOCH-CHAN NOOOOO

@Tanner - SC haha that's great

Ultrasounds and bloodtests from a gynecologist can give a lot of insight. Not a 100% guarantee (which doesn't exist) but it will lead to a better understanding of her ability to carry.

Thanks y’all, that’s a plan I can follow.

I know I’m late to the party @Tanner - SC but you can tell a lot about fertility by appearance. Also was she on the pill? That stuff can mess with her health in many ways. I go married to a 28 yo when I was in my mid thirties. Two kids down and looking to have number 3 before she is 32.

I know I'm a bit late this too so... There are 14yrs btwn my hubby & I, I got married at 21,but had my daughter at 23. I know myself & Hubby are both "Fertile Myrtles", so it goes without saying that the 2 older Stepkids are Fertile but my step daughter has a harder time delivering. My own daughter I believe will be like me,so has also done the Norplant until she's ready some years later.

I think asking a woman outright about her Fertility would likely freak most out. So like above as mentioned..,its always good to ask what the mom,sisters, aunts have been like as far as getting pregnant right away,etc.

I thought this was pretty interesting. I'm surprised SD still has this law. I hope it stays.

Dueling should be brought back

Seconded

I hope it grows to other states!

I don't think that is going to happen. Honestly this law might not even survive this case.

This is the best book on relationships I’ve ever read.

Yeah I've taken two marriage courses both mentioned 5 love languages

What does it mean when a girl asks "what are your stats?"

Asking for a friend

I sincerely hope that's not in reference to body count, ugh.

I think she wants to know your strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma. Check your character sheet.

Height, weight, bench press, squat, hair eye color? AncestryDNA results?

Send her all your lift stats. Deadlift, squat, bench, pull ups. She’ll laugh and then clarify what she meant.

Or if you’re a car guy, send your horsepower, cylinder count, brake piston count, wheelbase, curb weight, etc.

She was just a random girl on the bus. I was just wondering what she meant

If you’re ever confused by what a girl is asking (all of us are, and frequently), play it off with a joke and then she’ll either joke along or clarify what she was more seriously seeking.

You're right about that. It's good advice. I used to just send emojis to girls when I didn't know how to respond. That or a "..."

Dang, I was thinking measurements...height, weight, uh.......height.

Interesting hypothesis. Probably correct in the broad general sense, but the reverse of course happens in individuals and situations.

Sounds basically right in my experience

Every man’s deepest desire is to have his girl look up to him and trust him

Though it’s not entirely clear what their distinction is between respect and love and I couldn’t make it far enough into the video to find out if they clarify that

@missliterallywho I watched that one thought it was really good and accurate

At what point do you give up on a friend who can't accept your political views?

I personally don't need everyone to agree with me and I'm fine having friends with different beliefs. I'm just wondering what to do when it gets to the point that your views are constantly an issue for them that leads to them getting mad at you. At what point do you just give up on trying to keep them happy?

Sounds like their problem. You have no problem with their beliefs mostly. They have a problem with you

If they get mad enough at you they’ll stop being your friend. If he won’t and he gets some sick pleasure out of being your friend and being mad at you I mean damn....how easy would it be to cut him out, meaning do you have mutual friends or has this been a friendship for a long time

He might be trying to convince you out of your beliefs. Make it clear that’s not gonna happen
