What I mean by familiarity is having common grounds and similar environment/Upbringing.
I've never dated but I have spoken to quite a few suitors with the prospects of marriage, many of whom were great guys (successful, handsome, nice, religious etc), but I have noticed that lack of familiarity makes me feel less attached and attracted to the person.

Familiarity can manifest through different aspects (these criteria are not all cumulative)
1) Speaking the same native language at home
2) Having generally the same type of looks (so I guess being from the same race/ethnicity).
3) Having similar interests
4) Being from the same religion
5) Having the same education and similar youth etc
6) Having similar family background and social status.
7) Sharing the same or similar culture and traditions


I think this is kinda shallow of me but I can't help it. When my man first spoke to me in our native language, I suddenly felt less foreign and homesick, and I felt like re-found a piece of my joyful childhood. I want to transmit the values and childhood I inherited from my parents to my children.

After speaking to him and finding out how similar we are, it made me easily project in the future and consider him as a potential husband. Suddenly his looks stopped mattering as much to me (I still find him handsome though).
When I was younger I thought that "Love is above all and Love is enough to look past every difficulty". Nowadays I think it's kinda foolish to think only with your heart.

Love is very important, but you also need to think with your brain and analyse the relationship as a whole: Can it be viable in the long run once the fires of passion are gone?

For me, part of the reason why I love the current man I'm talking to is that I know he can be a good father and husband and that I feel in a familiar setting with him. Our common grounds will most likely lead to less clashes and fights which highers the prospects of success of the relationship.

The last one is my life, traffic in my city sucks. My commute could certainly be worse though, I get to sit on a not yet freeway surrounded by beautiful hills. But it takes me up to an hour to go 8 miles after 5.

Now I know 400 pages is a lot but if you are a fan of Serial or Embedded podcasts, I think you can handle The Mueller Report with side commentary delivered by, I don't know the guys of Pod Save America.

Would you be more ore likely to try and hear the report delivered in a not so dry but engaging method?

Bob Mueller really kind of laid the shake down today with every American should care about this issue [and read the report].

I was like, damn it I have to do it or I’m part of the problem. I can’t be upset that no one cares when I haven’t taken the time to read.

We all feel that we watched the report play out in real time and nothing new to see here kind of thing.

Then there’s the worry that if you aren’t at least an amateur legal scholar maybe the points laid out won’t make a difference. I know he tried hard, as he did in his statement today, to connect dots in ways a layperson could understand.

But I realize even educated people often have very little knowledge of how the government works and when with think of impeachment we all think of Bill and his sexual relations. This certainly undermines the gravity of impeachment proceedings in the public eye.

But dont you at at least want to hear the actual findings of The Mueller Report?

Democracy Dies in Darkness.

I took Obama to task on many an issue regarding foreign relations for the first 2 years he was in office. Drones, NSA hacking Merkel’s phone.

My biggest problem with GW was that he simply didn’t read the intelligent briefings left for him by the outgoing administration. They were large documents and he opted to rely on his cabinet who ultimately led him astray.

Please someone one tell me you are still considering at least trying to read the report. Country first.
