re: Any athletic parents with unathletic children?
Posted by goldeneagle007 on 2/14/26 at 3:40 pm to TRUERockyTop
It sounds like you’re doing your best & doing a good job. The key is involving them in something that fosters confidence. It doesn’t matter what that is. Because confidence is what makes a man a man. He needs something to build that confidence to take with him. My parents didn’t let me play sports because they refused to alter their schedules to take me to practice after school. We only have them as kids for a short time. It sounds like you’re willing to do whatever it takes & I commend you for showing him you care.

re: Only 1 in 3 eligible young adults are actively dating

This isn’t limited to young people. I’m older & divorced. I can tell you for certain the vast majority of older female profiles on the apps come with a list of requirements a mile long. It’s insane. But that’s what happens when they are inundated with male attention online. And it’s disappointing too. You meet a seemingly nice gal who shows early excitement only to be ghosted. Why? Because better looking matches don’t stop coming. They have no incentive to stop looking up. They never stop talking to other guys.
re: Is a secksless marriage reason enough for divorce?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but not everyone wants to be helped. What if she refuses therapy? What if she lies to you & lies to her therapist when she finally does go? Like others have said there are always underlying reasons why she doesn’t want sex. In my case I did everything possible to help for more than a decade & my efforts made no difference. In fact after my divorce my ex wife said she would have left her too if she were a man.

There is no 100% correct way. Believe me I tried. To those that say you made a promise to honor your spouse in sickness & health I can tell you that was the whole reason I stuck it out as long as I did. But what are you supposed to do when your wife no longer wants you? Stay married just to avoid sin? I’m talking about a spouse who refuses to put forth any effort. How long do you give it? Because at some point you have to be honest with yourself. You have to admit you didn’t sign up to be celibate.
re: Millennial and under baws: what’s the craziest boomer advice you’ve heard?
Posted by goldeneagle007 on 2/3/26 at 3:17 pm to fareplay
Boomer: I got a good deal for cable. Cable TV, phone & internet for $400 a month.
Gen Z: You could just stream what you want for a fraction of that.
Boomer: I don’t know how to do that.
Boomer: Y’all don’t need a $1,000 iPhone.

re: How successful do you think your father was at raising you?
Posted by goldeneagle007 on 1/27/26 at 6:36 am to W2NOMO
Solid D. He was home every night but never present. He refused to talk about anything important & did nothing while I struggled as a kid. Even decades later he’s still not capable of talking. It wasn’t until I became a father that I looked back at my own childhood & said WTF.
re: Gabb vs. Bark vs. iPhone vs. none - What would you recommend for your teen?

Gabb is terrible. If the child accidentally sets a pattern lock & forgets it you’re screwed. The factory reset didn’t work on their stupid phone
re: Where's a good singles spot near BR?
Posted by goldeneagle007 on 12/4/25 at 11:53 am to Ebridg3
I’ve been single again for a while & the modern dating scene is a complete sh*tshow. Ghosting, misrepresentation and social media addictions regardless of age.
I truly feel like a man born in the wrong generation. Our fathers and grandfathers scored beautiful wives just by virtue of being good, hardworking providers. Now expectations are through the roof & nothing is ever good enough. Not even a man like Tom Brady is safe and he checks every box imaginable.

I went to Portugal solo last year and it was the best trip I’ve ever done. The country is small so you can can anywhere fast on trains. You’re also 30 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean no matter where you are. The food was incredible and the women were something else.
re: You ever feel like dating apps have ruined a generation?
Posted by goldeneagle007 on 10/8/25 at 12:39 pm to Westbank111
I’m almost 50 and could not disagree more with the post above that said it would be like shooting fish in a barrel. The dates will come but man I can’t stress enough that none of these women are of high enough quality for a relationship.
You can date younger but most of those women still want kids even on the other side of 40. And the ones who are older are not quality women. At least none I’ve encountered in south Louisiana. The drama & game playing are still there. I think there are numerous things at play here. The biggest I’ve seen is that this area is a shallow pool for men. These women are inundated with options which causes a lot of the behavior.

I’ve got news for some of you. It’s not just younger people. I’m in my 40’s and I’m seeing the same stuff with women of all ages. Entitlement, bad behavior, ghosting.

We went a while back for breakfast and it was obvious the food we ordered was reheated from the night before.

Where did you find such a woman? That’s exactly what I’m looking for as a divorced dad in his 40’s.

This is true but most of these women are masculine and have become like the men they wanted to marry. Not to mention most have a long list of unrealistic expectations.

re: Men who don’t work hard to support their families are subhuman
Posted by goldeneagle007 on 8/9/25 at 9:06 am to dcrews
I think about this all the time but I never used to. It finally struck me when my child was born. As she grew I remembered things I did at her age. I consider it the greatest privilege to teach her things. If she has a problem she can’t figure out I sit down with her and let her know we’ll figure it out together. Neither of my parents did that. So I asked myself where was this when I was a kid? I was left alone to figure things out on my own. It took me way too long to figure out certain things. It was as if a lot of people from that generation didn’t actually want to parent beyond providing.

I’m thinking about cashing out but I know as soon as I do the company will be sold.
Downtown Dallas recommendations

We’re staying downtown near the aquarium. Just me and my little girl. We’re looking more for a good bbq place over anything fancy.

If you’re in the mood for a light, refreshing drink find a cool rooftop bar and order a port tonic. They have them everywhere. There is a great rooftop bar near Sandeman overlooking the river in Porto. I really enjoyed that place
