I live in a town where the average age is 55. It makes me feel comfortable. Before this I lived in a college town, average age at most high 20's or low 30's. I was in my mid 50's when I moved there. That made me feel old.

Anyone have any experience coming off of Prozac?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 18, 2018:

I was on Zoloft for two years in the 90's. I really liked that feeling of being somewhat disconnected from the world. After a certain age the extreme lows out number the extreme highs anyway. The sex part wasn't that bad on the dosage l was on. It took a little longer to get off, but it didn't stop me from getting off. Then I started getting anxiety attacks and stopped taking them. Sometimes l really miss that feeling of being sort of an uninvolved observer, especially at my age.

Athiestic Marriage

Sticks48 comments on Mar 18, 2018:

It is not a religious institution anymore. It is a contract. If you are married the lawyers will decide how to divide your stuff, as opposed to living with someone, coming home, and finding SHE HAS TAKEN ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU OWN! It took me two weeks to find her and my belongings.

Allow me to vent a bit.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 18, 2018:

I don't see it as a dating site at all. It seems more like a site for discussing pretty much everything, and that's OK with me. That is why I changed that part of my profile about open to meeting women. The best way to meet people is in person not electronically, for me anyway.

We had a manager who once told us that sometimes we will make a decision that doesn't work out, but to remember that we made that decision based on the information and knowledge of the situation at that time, and that we shouldn't beat ourselves up in hindsight. I have always tried to remember that when something doesn't quite work out as planned.

The vast majority of people don't want war. It is a small group of people that take us there. Too many people are sheep and are willing to follow. If all men under 35 said we are done with this shit that would be it, but they won't. Too many young men think they won't be the one that dies. The older ones know better.

If you mean a traditional date. Not since the 80's, and that was once. Generally I meet someone, we run into each other socially, and we just sort of end up together. It is too awkward to go on a date with someone I haven't made some connection without a few conversations to establish more than a physical attraction.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 16, 2018:

When I was in elementary school I spent a lot of time with my grandparents on a military base next to the town I grew up in. This town in Oklahoma was and is very racist. On the military base I played with Black, Puerto Rican, and Asian kids. They were just kids. My parents also taught us that racism was wrong. My brother and I have never had racist feelings. My experience is that it is a learned behavior.
