I really want to buy a few fancy looking collections like the Discworld series and maybe some Lovecraft, just to put into my bookshelf and read in paper during a lazy october afternoon...
Are paper books a waste of money nowadays?

cool editions of classics are usually cheap and pop up all the time. there are so many un-archived texts or books that you can’t even find online. the modern library system & big publishers control current lit you can buy. vintage physical texts and archived pdfs are the only way

Women are like birds you can train to do anything by giving them a little seed or nut afterward. A seed is the wider tribe's approval, and a nut is your approval (if you are a chieftain, high ranking warrior, or otherwise impressive "big man").

And in my experience, over the shoulder hug is either going in for a makeout or just a perfunctory everyday hug where they maybe want to smash their breasts against my pecs without getting in trouble.

In the makeout move, they like having their arms up around a big tall guy with their face angled up so they can melt into your arms. Despite what anon above says, height has nothing to do with it. If a girl has to go on tiptoes and be held by you that's all the better.

Waist hugs are more when a girl's seeking comfort, warmth and protection or feeling possessive.

>anon thinks he'll still be attracted to his wife after a few year and devote all his free time to her demands instead of seeking escape into freedom of his youth
My longest relationship lasted 3 years, and even though we never lived together it was just convenience and habit in the end - zero physical passion, no spark in coversations, genuine animosity. I can only imagine how much worse it can get when your significant other stinks up the toilet with period sharts first thing in the morning. 90% of boomer BBQ jokes are about hating their lives and inventing bullshit to get away from them for a few hours (such as BBQ).

I envy guys who still like to fuck the same woman after years of seeing how the sausage is made

Seeing a strange woman's panties for the first time is still like being inducted into a mystery cult for me, but seeing a girl's pussy after dating her for 2+ years is like eating a certain kind of junk food too much and you realize it might as well be a piece of plain bread, you've killed all the magic completely for yourself

If you don't value something, you'll lose it. Yes, my wife and I fight a lot. All couples will. Yes, you have to work hard to keep the romance alive. Yes, there's days where we hate each other. But on the plus side: she loves me and I love her. She knows me better than anyone on earth. She listens to my rambles even if she's not as racist. She makes an effort during sex. We make each other laugh every once in a while. And she's a great mother. Which by itself is like winning the lottery if you can find that one quality. Honestly I'm not perfect. I can be annoying sometimes. I can be unpleasant sometimes. So you have to look at your own faults too. I've done a lot of stuff in my life. I've seen a lot of places. I've achieved a number of things. But heaven is waking up on a Saturday morning with my wife and playing with our little 11 month old in bed
