Sleeping with Legs Crossed: Potential Risks and Impacts on Health

Do you cross your legs when sleeping?

Please answer in the poll.

I went through this about 10 years ago. My then 25 year old girlfriend made more than me when I was 32. But at the time I was pursuing a dream (I was a professional athlete) and I my time was consumed with training. I was no dead beat but I just had a different focus at the time.

I was doing freelance work just to pay the bills and I was struggling. She even offered me money at one time (which extremely kind of her) but it I turned it down out of pride and went further in debt.

Anyway the insecurity was on my side when it can to this (also contributed to our break up). She didn’t care but I did. It had a lot to with being raised to “be a man” when it came to being a breadwinner.

Nowadays I make a lot more money given I’m retired from my sport and have full focus on my career. But I am also a lot more “boring” now since I’m no longer the free wheeling adventurer I once was.

But money is a touchy issue. Form a evolutionary perspective I really do believe most women still subconsciously expect a man to provide for them even it’s unnecessary or impractical. They might get into short term flings with guys who offer other benefits (looks, excitement, adventurer, personality, etc) but when it comes to long term commitments they have a much higher bar on this

I also believe when a woman makes more money then her boyfriend/husband she’s more prone to cheating. Especially if she is comparable to him when it comes to looks (maybe she will stay loyal if she’s physically unattractive compared to him)

In fact I believe it’s unfairly more socially “acceptable” for a woman to do this given the guy is considered a “chump” if he is financial dependent on her. More more acceptable then vice versa.

I have a divorced uncle who worked a low paying his entire life and was supported by his (comparably) rich wife. She was no multi millionaire but she earned a lot more than him.

She ended up cheating on him the entire marriage. He tolerated it because they had kids and he needed support.

I feel like women will subconsciously lose attraction for a man who shows too much emotion around them

With social media like instagram. You’re never going to feel rich, pretty, handsome, tall enough. There’s always just too many people with more. It’s quite overwhelming how our society has become so depressing.

People are conscious to it but subconsciously they believe it all, like women expect all these unrealistic things. You see from what they like. I think it also makes a lot of men out there want to give up on playing a game you can’t win.

People want the rare thing, rare for a woman used to be like 1in20 guys, now it’s like 1in2000 guys because of all this abundance of people. 2/3 men are single 18-30.

On one hand it has helped motivate me a lot to keep moving forward.
