What is really the incentive of being an adult anymore?

[ForevrLonely29]

I feel there is hardly any incentives of being an adult, or at least they have been stripped. I am 30, financially unstable, don't own a home, and only just as of recently got engaged. I have less friends and less opportunities to make lifelong friendships. I have no real assets of my own besides a car and an RV. But at the same time, I sure do have responsibility, liability, and expected to be accountable fully for my mistakes. There seems to be more burdens than benefits. More burden than it is worth.

I cannot help but to reminisce about the past where things used to be simpler and my imagination ran wild.

When I was a child I enjoyed not having responsibilities but I had many problems because of my poverty. Now I am studying medicine and I still have five years to go to graduate and get out of poverty. I would prefer to continue being a teenager but not being poor. In adulthood you cannot have experiences with the same intensity that you can have in adolescence (e. g. teenage romances).

[ForevrLonely29]

You got that right. I never really experienced teenage romance. I actually didn't experience my first real girlfriend until recently, but we are now engaged.

[BarryLiverstone]

I enjoy the responsibilities of being an adult as I particulate in my community. I have a job, own my car and house, pay taxes and give to my church. By working hard I am able to save up money and do things to help others and give back. Have the freedom to plan trips and drive places I want to visit. Being an adult does have challenges but I enjoy it

[ForevrLonely29]

You mention church, but I can recall you lean quite left. Leftist policies do not coincide with the Christian faith. Abortion, identity politics, tranny/gay shit, etc...

[BarryLiverstone]

Actually I lean a bit right, but am mostly in the middle., so not sure what you are recalling

[Agape93]

Numbers 5:11 - 31 is about God blessing a potion that will cause a woman to miscarry if she cheated on a husband. Let's see, induced miscarriage... oh yeah that's called an abortion, and performed by God no less

[BarryLiverstone]

Abortion will always be a controversial topic in the USA as both sides dig in. I generally agree with president Clinton that it should be “safe, legal, and rare”. But that’s the middle and both sides hate that opinion.

[BarryLiverstone]

Don’t call her a whore.

[ForevrLonely29]

Dude she proudly admits to sleeping with tons of men. Then she wants to be able to get an abortion afterwards like it never even happened. Her life I guess, but damn. Then, she has the audacity to advocate for me to be executed.

[Agape93]

Dude you were 20 years old and fucked a 16 year old child, then stalked her.

[Agape93]

@Ez-Bri-Z_v2

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 We were kids, and I was trying to pursue love from what I thought was "love".

[Agape93]

20 is not a child, you were a grown ass adult fucking and stalking a child

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 20 most certainly is a kid. If you are under 21 and haven't established a life yet, then yes, you are still a kid.

[Agape93]

18 is when you become a legal adult. 21 is just the drinking age ffs.

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 18 may be legal age of majority, but you don't become an adult just overnight. In fact, prior to the Vietnam War, age of majority was 21. Mississippi still has an adult age of 21, and a small few states are at 19.

[Agape93]

Yeah you legally do the day you turn 18. Period. You were a grown ass man, chose her because she was a minor and less likely to have fucked someone, so you did it, then stalked her when she didn't want you. You can dress it up however you want. You're a predator and not once have you ever even acknowledged what you did to her was wrong. I genuinely fear for any kids you have.

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 There is a stark difference between being 20, single, and young versus being 30, happily married, and with a family. When I was in my mid-20s (before I found the love of my life), I went on dates with younger women and held their hand, and it felt awkward. The older men get, naturally they will start sensing the age difference.

[Agape93]

Considering you fucked a kid, I genuinely fear for any kids you may have. I wouldn't put anything past a predator.

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 and you are a fucking extremist that cannot seem to rationalize.

[Agape93]

Tell you what. I'll chill out if you can acknowledge what you did to that child was wrong.

[Agape93]

And yeah I am an extremist.

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 I think everything was hasty and done out of desperation and poor self esteem. I think I was young, dumb, and lacked some good common sense at that time. I think both me and her were in the wrong, but that is part of learning life lessons.

[Agape93]

Nope. That's not what i said. Acknowledge that what YOU did to her was wrong. Just you, no excuses no added commentary.

Just "fucking her an stalking her was wrong of me."

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 I was young and dumb and made poor decisions, how about that?

[Agape93]

Nope. Follow directions.
Just "fucking her an stalking her was wrong of me."

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 you make it sound like I was out to be a malicious person

[Agape93]

I'm waiting.

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 I am sorry for any anguish, shame, or guilt she incurred from our encounter. I am, however, proud of her for the accomplishments she has made in her life and wish her the best.

[Agape93]

Follow directions.
Just "fucking her an stalking her was wrong of me."

[LazerBean]

You can't call others a whore and cite the Bible when, biblically, you are doing the exact same thing she is doing: extramarital sex. Literally fornication. You're just the same as her, so stop. You're an embarrassment and a hypocrite.

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 I should have better understood her desires and accepted she did not want to pursue a relationship with me. I shouldn't have went forth with a weekend fling, especially in a haste way and I should have not taken her virginity so that she could have one day shared that with someone she marries.

[Agape93]

Follow directions. You need to take accountability and acknowledge what you did was wrong.
Just "fucking her an stalking her was wrong of me."

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 I don't like your terminology. "Fucking" just sounds so disrespectful. I didn't really stalk her. It was just persistent, unwanted communication when I didn't even know she was receiving anything.

[Agape93]

That's literally stalking. But ok here's a better phrasing

"I acknowledge that sleeping with her and making repeated unwanted contact with her was wrong of me"

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 Yes, having casual sexual intercourse with a virgin young woman I barely know and not seriously involved with was wrong. I should have been more mentally strong, mature, and rational. I was a messed up young man. I wish I had better self esteem and maturity.

[Agape93]

"I acknowledge that sleeping with her and making repeated unwanted contact with her was wrong of me"

That's all I want to see you say. I don't care if you just copy and paste it.

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93

I acknowledge that sleeping with her and making repeated unwanted contact with her was wrong of me.

Yes, and this is true with anyone, regardless of age. Sex isn't just something to throw around. It can have serious spiritual and emotional consequences. But the older I become, the more aware I am.

[Agape93]

About God damn time. Fucking christ

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 But why do you sleep around casually so much with men?

[Agape93]

Women too. Because that's what we as consenting adults want for one, two it feels good, and three because it's a religious sacrament for me.

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 doesn't mean it is right, but you make your decisions I guess. Judgement day WILL come for you too.

[Agape93]

Doesn't mean it's wrong either. Also, judgement day? Lol your God couldn't kill me if it tried.

[ForevrLonely29]

@Agape93 Yes, that solidifies it for me. You are crazy. Good luck.

[Agape93]

Crazy? Sure. But I don't need luck. He couldn't kill me any more than you could. If he could, he's welcome to do so. Any time now.

[TheStaleMarshmellow]

Lolz this was a good read

[LazerBean]

The incentives are virtually the same. You have all those problems because of how you act and the choices you make.

[ForevrLonely29]

It is also the shitty economy and lack of job stability too.

[LazerBean]

You're 30. The economy hasn't been bad for the 12 years you've been an adult. If you can't get/keep a job, it's because companies are finding other people more valuable than you to keep/hire.

[ForevrLonely29]

8 out of those 12 years were under leftist democrat rulers that hurt the middle class. I was rather late selecting my long-term career choice, but when I was able to get my foot in the door with tech, it was year 2020 and I have had bad luck since.

[LazerBean]

So basically you can only get a job when it's handed to you in a silver plater. Got it
