I am...

    You ever have a pet come between you and someone else?

    This is something I almost exclusively see with white couples but I have seen it with someone who I work with who is a mixed man. He and his partner both love animals and decided to adopt a dog together shortly after moving in together. Well, his partner has grown pretty attached to the dog so...

    What does your family do for Christmas?

    I know not everyone celebrates it and they don't celebrate it the same way. Holidays like Christmas have always been a time for family for me so I have always enjoyed them. On Christmas Eve, we usually get some pizza and wings and sit around playing board games and stuff. We do gifts in the...

    Doing the deed while family is close by?

    This is something I couldn't ever do, even when I was younger. I have a friend though who lives with her parents still and her boyfriend moved in with them. They give them money and buy groceries which is fine I guess, it ends up being cheaper than rent and they are trying to save. Anyway, her...

    Do you like the snow or no?

    I am probably one of the few people in my area that actually enjoys it. I like cold weather. Most people around here complain though. I like watching the snowfall. It is nice having my candles lit and looking outside at night seeing it fall. It is relaxing to me. I don't like driving in it when...

    How would you handle your partner gaining weight?

    I see it all the time. Couples get comfy with each other and they put on weight. Sometimes it is both, sometimes it is only one. In cases where it is only one, how would you handle it if your partner put on weight? Would you care/would it bother you? If so - How would you approach letting them know?

    Why are men painting their nails now?

    I mean I know it was a thing for like goth guys, skaters, and people into rock and roll but now I see everyday dudes using it like it isn't a big deal.

    Telling signs of an abusive relationship?

    I have had some suspicions that one of the girls I work with is in an abusive relationship. I have wanted to say something for a month now but I don't want her to take it the wrong way. She started at our clinic in October so I don't really know her all that well. We have only worked together a...

    Does anyone listen to video game remixes?

    This is a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it isn't for everyone but I love a lot of the tracks people produce. There are tons of people who make them these days. I usually just find new tracks through GameChops. GlitchxCity does some bangers:

    You like tacos?

    This is a bit random but outside of like 3 spots (one of them being Taco Bell) we don't have taco places around here. The one place isn't a chain or anything. They do some pretty good chicken tacos but the cost went up too much to eat there and justify it. I think this is down to inflation and...

    I keep reading and hearing about people having food shortages and trouble finding certain things but I have yet to see it. I mean some stuff is stocked lighter on the shelves and I might have to go to two stores instead of one to get what I need but nothing as bad as other people have been...

    What are your physical preferences?

    In terms of the physical body, what are some things you find most attractive about men or women (or both)? For me, I have always preferred taller men. This is not to say I have not dated shorter men, I just have a preference for height. I like to feel small. I know that sounds silly but it is...

    Anyone else lose interest?

    I used to watch the NBA and the NFL. I was never big into baseball, hockey, MMA, or any of the other sports though but I did love basketball and football at one point. As I got a bit older, I started losing interest. I don't think I watch a full season of the NFL since 2013 and I stopped...

    When did women start preaching independence?

    I know in music, it was not always the case. There have been plenty of female singers who sung songs about love, softness, femininity, loving their men etc. but it seems like in the '90s everything switched. There was more of a focus on promoting women "not needing no man" and it seems like the...
