Yes, it is. People make it about other things, but it 100% an addiction to nicotine.

#metoo?

Ain't it once the nicotine leaves the body/system... Then the addiction is done.  Why do people start up again?

 

My father was a two pack a day, Camel (non-filter) smoker for 45 years.  Gave it up cold turkey, never smoked again.  All it took was my mother getting ovarian cancer (and eventually passing) to get him to go cold turkey.

That seems no more and no less shallow and stupid than I remember dating being.

 

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Men would be wise to improve themselves and not play that game at all.  I think young men think they *need* to have a woman to live a fulfilling life.  Not true.   

 

I have no idea why men chase single mothers or what compels men to do so.  Is that a phenomena of internet dating?  Supply?  

 

What is this about men chasing single mothers?

No, it's not. Trust me. I've been off cigarettes for YEARS, and fallen off the wagon. If your theory was correct, that shouldn't happen. The routine of smoking is far harder to break than the nicotine addiction.

I see hot girls in bikinis at the beach almost every day...in their late teens, early 20s....and they are very intently looking down at a cell phone and texting away at a feverish pace.  Totally oblivious to the world around them...while standing on the beach with lovely views of the ocean, palm trees, etc.

 

I was at a surprise birthday party yesterday. One of my nieces, about 15, was given the task of watching out the window for the arrival of the guest of honor. She spent so much time on her phone that I felt she was going to miss the person arriving, so I ended up taking over that duty.

When my wife sees me on my phone she asks “how are your little friends?” as if she were talking to a 5 year old. 

 

At least she is not calling us "imaginary friends".

You know they've had sex, possibly out of wedlock.

Nyet! 

 

yes, you still dream of and crave smokes, as do  I (20+ years of pack and half of reds every cay)...that's just because of the relief your body received when your nicotine withdrawal symptoms were relieved by having a smoke.

 

what you remember is how awful your body felt without the nicotine, and how much better you felt once the nicotine was reintroduced into your body. So to many , they associated that cup of coffee and first smoke of the day as a "pleasurable routine"..in reality, it was pleasurable only cause your body was having the biggest withdrawal of the day..coming off 8 hours without nicotine.

 

Everything to do with smoking correlates back to the physical addiction to nicotine.

When I see little glimpses of today's dating scene, including anecdotes from my single friends, I'm just reminded of how glad I am that I'm not out there anymore.

I'm not buying that.  Pretty much everybody has.

Usually when a woman has a kid, her priorities change from trying to get the guy who looks like a celebrity to one who is safer and will provide stability.

Just rewatched it and I'm even less offended than I was previously. If that were even possible.

 

None of her requirements are that out of line. She gives logical explanations for each one. They're speed text dating thus the format. 

 

Not my type due to the drinking/dancing, but overall 7/10.

BTW I saw three guys outside yesterday in a circle. Not only were all three looking at their phones but one had earbuds in. 

 

Says the guy talking to his imaginary friends on his phone while his wife is waiting for him.  ?

 

The same as 1960s Dad reading the morning paper at the breakfast table with cigar smoke billowing over the top of it, and heaven help you if he had to lower the paper to scream at you or hit you

The old Lockmaster I first started working with 30 years ago was from St.Louis.  He was around 70 back then... He would make the 5 hour trip back to Chicago from St.Louis BY CAR and say: "Yeah, I just got in from St Louis, I read the whole Post-Dispatch on the ride up.  Noteworthy: /He was the one doing the driving!

 

He actually preferred the Chicago Sun-Times since it is in tabloid form... Worst for him was the Tribune.  Post-Dispatch a happy medium when driving. A broadsheet paper the absolute worse when driving.

 

What an old-time nut!  LoL...

Not so sure. I think I’d take imaginary over little.

In 2018... That's ground for Department of Family Services swooping in a taking the poor abused children away.  

 

We could have had our old-man locked away for life.  OSHA also involved too, condemned bathroom no doubt! No proper PPE (personal protective equipment) like a respirator.

 

What kind of sick joke is! "Hey! Pull my finger!"  That's child abuse!

This is a new phenomenon?

Old for 5000 years. Letting people think they invented it is amusing.
