Tell us then, how do we get rid of family that we have to provide for, and where do we get that sweet cheap rent?

As it surely would be if the US had Labor Day on May 1st.

Outdoor fucking? Is that some code for abolishing workers rights?

A huge box of used Fisher Technik components. I was 10 at the time and these things kept my phantasy busy for years.

I’m sorry that you feel that way. But the vast majority of people are not predators.

Do relationships never reach a point where you might say this is a sane person that’s not going to abuse every vulnerability I open up?

This was an issue for me when I was watching my then toddler son a lot as a father.

We would meet other parent-child combinations regularly at the places where you go with children. Most of the time it would be mothers.

But even though the settings were obviously non romantic and child focused, it often was difficult to get into a friendly relationship. I always had the impression the mothers were careful to not do anything I might interpret as flirting, including talking. So the interactions were limited to the now and then on the playground. No getting-to-know conversations.

Remarkably that was much simpler with the same women when the fathers were around also, I.e. on weekends.

In short it was a long series of strange encounters and isolation. It’s much simpler to interact with women without their children around, regardless if romantically motivated or just as factual interaction.

During the whole parenting time of 3 years I had with that child I made one(!) contact that I could message things like “wanna meet up in this or that interaction?” My wife has 15 or so.
