I didn't get my first serious girlfriend until I was 29, almost 30. In fact, other than online attempts with girls where they rejected me upon meeting in person or short term dating where nothing transpired from it, I never had an actual girlfriend before that. Luckily and with the grace of God, I am now engaged. It is a huge relief.

This had caused so much grief, stress, and anguish over the years being single with no chance in sight of finding love. Shockingly, I was being looked at as the problem for being so depressed about it. I feel 100% that I was justified to feel this way, considering most humans start exploring romance and sex starting in middle or high school.

I wouldn't advocate for this to be the norm, especially for those who truly desire to have a significant other and a family in their lifetime. I know by the time I turned 29, I was already experiencing erectile dysfunction, libido issues, and low testosterone. Shit, for all I know, I can be infertile at this point. I didn't experience these issues up until recently.

I am recently engaged, so I will say upfront I am very grateful about that and I am not nearly as lonely or stressed as I used to be. I love my fiance dearly.

Although, I just did some reflection and realized I do only have one or two good male friends and have lost many friends throughout the years.

I was wondering if this is normal.

Republicans retaken control of the Senate this year, flipping seats in West Virginia, Montana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Mitch McConnell (who has been the leader of Senate Republicans since 2006) hovewer anounced that he will retire as a leader.

There are currently three candidates to succeed him: South Dakota senator John Thune, Texas senator John Cornyn and Florida senator Rick Scott.

Which one of them would you like to become a nead Senate majority leader?

Consider... some NK's have already been engaged in the war and 7000-8000 more are being trained... but are not fighting there... yet.

People's opinions on opossums in general seem to be kind of split, but I'm in the camp that finds them more scary/disgusting.

I vividly remember that one day when I had woke up to catch the bus in high school, I was around age 16 or 17 or so, it was dark because I had to wake up like 5 or 6 in the morning to catch it, and then in the middle of the bushes passing by I saw this really weird animal that looked like it had its face painted bright white, and it had its mouth wide open showing its massive teeth, and on top of it all it was hissing.

I quite literally shit my pants at the sight of that thing, and had to go back home and miss the bus and change my pants/underwear and have my parents drive me to school.

This is certainly not a creature I'd like to see in the dark ever again.

For the record, I don't endorse anyone abusing opossums or anything. I just think they're butt ugly, oh my god. To me they're easily the ugliest mammal. Obviously in the animal kingdom as a whole there are uglier animals out there, I don't think an opossum is uglier than a slug or a cockroach, but to me they're the ugliest mammal.
