Dating in Vancouver is a lot like dumpster diving. You have to sort through a ton of garbage to find a treasure, like a crumpled up winning lottery ticket. Some people get lucky and find one right away, others have to keep going and going. Some get tired and settle on a piece of semi-decent garbage. Some might never find anything of value. Some are happy to play with the garbage they find, not hoping to find anything of value anyway. Some find a treasure and don’t value it because they don’t realize the value of what they’ve found. Some find a treasure, then go back to the dumpster because they think they can find something better still. (Just to clarify, I’m not calling people garbage, I’m referring to the quality of connection.) So I think it’s understandable that a lot of us are so tired. And to all of those who’ve found their treasure, please do treasure it.

And it’s great! Started the day at the gym, got 3 movies lined up, lots of Chinese food. I’ve recently begun really embracing solitary time. My mental health has improved significantly. All you lonely folks out there this time of year, it’s all in your attitude. Happy Holidays everyone!

I confess that I’m always confused when I read posts from men saying that women are too picky because they want to be with attractive men. They whine and complain that they’re being overlooked because they’re not attractive and they accuse women of only being in it for money and other insulting rhetoric. What I don’t understand is why those guys can’t understand that it’s just human behaviour to want to be with people you’re attracted to. How many good looking men go out in search of unattractive women to be with? Even unattractive men expect to be with a beautiful woman and if she ignores him it’s because she’s a bitch. The reality is that most people are likely going to wind up with someone who is close to them in the looks category. At least men have the advantage of being able to purchase good looking women (let’s face it, very few beautiful young women are with a homely poor guy) , whereas how often do you see homely women with a hot young guy? Before you all begin pointing out those few anomalies, I’m talking about the average, not the exception.

The more I know, the less I understand.

I saw a tweet asking what is the kindest thing somebody has done for you this year. I couldn’t think of anything that anybody close to me has done. The only thing that came to my mind was my chiropractor

The previous post prompted me to post my recent experience. I suffer extremely from inflammation I’ve been hearing over and over how cbd oil is good for this. I went through the proper channels , went to a cannabis clinic , saw a Dr , got a script, ordered online from one of their recommended suppliers. After 11 days of this at 1/4 the dose I started feeling really toxic. I am super sensitive to pesticides I don’t believe this is organic as claimed to be. $80 down the drain They are all unregulated , I just can’t waste more money on a repeat experience with another company. Disappointing as I was hoping this would really help me.

I’m an attractive female Shame to feel this way I could be making a man so happy

Why is every guy I meet not looking for anything serious. Where are the guys who want relationships built on trust and love? Nothing but players and wannabe players here. I am putting myself out there and I am getting back a bunch of men that can't take care of themselves. My standards are not that high. Someone I find attractive, with a full time job, no serious drug or alcohol issues, never been to prison, funny, sweet, wants a family, and has ambition. I don't know what I am doing wrong and I am going to be spending New Years with my mom, dad, brother, and my dog and I am 25.

On the fence. Need advice. My Significant other (confronted/denied) is cheating with a married man , Have proof (considering contacting his wife on Christmas day to blow it up). Feeling angry & spiteful, second thinking it.Wild mix of emotions. Is this the right thing to do for me? Is this the right thing to do for the other mans wife?

Really. They're America-lite. Can we impose a cession on that province and get back to being Canada? It is not the fault of British Columbia that Alberta decided to base its ENTIRE economy on one industry, and now that that industry is starting to absolutely go by the wayside--because the world is actually advancing--they are floundering and acting like entitled little shits. I just watched a protest where people were actually donning yellow vests (a la France) and walking around with signs saying "I [Heart] Oil and Gas." It was like a bad, yet embarrassing dream. And then there's pandering jackass Andrew Scheer supporting them all the way, as he knows which side his Wonder Bread is buttered on. Electric cars and solar power are the future, and there is nothing Alberta can do to stop this. Destroying our landscape, threatening our wildlife and environment, and creating more pollution just because they had no Plan B is unacceptable. Fossil fuels are finite and most countries in the world are working steadily, competitively, to develop alternate forms of power...even China is very strong in this game. (Part of this might also involve seeing Saudi Arabia reduced back to a desert wasteland, given how subhuman they have behaved since coming into vast wealth, but that is a whole different post) Their cowardly mayors even skipped out on the recent conference addressing energy and climate change; Whistler's economy has suffered drastically because of Alberta's contribution to climate change, and Whistler's mayor wanted some answers. What did the mayors of Alberta do? Refuse to attend and address this issue. I will not support a backwards province that wants desperately to remain the Texas of my country. Let's form a committee and slice them out of the map and hand them over the USA, where their bent for guns, cattle slaughter, cowboy hats, and blood-for-oil will be welcomed wholeheartedly.
