Decent article until it brought up the alleged "wage gap" which has been thoroughly debunked.

Google study reveals Men have been underpaid.

https://www.npr.org/2019/03/05/700288695/google-pay-study-finds-its-underpaying-men-for-some-jobs

The main reasons for disparity in pay really boil down to choices. Men choose more dangerous, non glamorous jobs that pay more. Offshore oil rigging, deep sea fishermen, STEM fields ect....women typically prefer relationship based professions, education, HR, etc....

Additionally women tend to be more agreeable and often don't negotiate for a higher salary.

Finally, its illegal to pay women less than men for the same job. If it was legal companies would exclusively hire women.

Mr Rodsrsr,
Please, let's not start debating political matters in this thread. If you're so inclined, feel free to start a new thread on PARF regarding equal pay proposals.

Thank you kindly for your understanding.

They've been used quite a bit, gone over and inspected, then curated?

Older = made better. And, with the exception of bell bottoms, timeless design or at least relevant every 20 yrs or so.

I'm 58. My GF is 47 and she's going through "pre-menopause" and I'd never heard of the term until recently. At this point nothing has changed but I've done some reading on the subject and things may in the future. Like everything else it depends on the individual Gal.

This thread is making putting 64 year old me off the idea of dating. Yikes.

I think I'll settle for a nice pinot noir and good sensible conversation with the cats and dogs. No screaming and yelling.

Yes, I accept I have tried and failed.

Edit: And Baileys Original Irish Cream.

I think you did better with your 100 bucks than I did.

"And I'm trying to unravel the mystery
And I hope you feel it too
But we're both caught up in our histories
I know sorrow and I know pain
Makes it hard to start over again
But I'll unravel the mystery
Baby with you"
Unravel the Mystery 2012

Making a relationship at any age is fraught with so many dead ends and disappointments, but every now and then the right two people meet and recognize in each other the thing that makes it worth while. You won't know if you don't try.

Best
Les.

Some treasures are just waiting to be found. Oh, and I love bell bottoms. They remind me of my teens.

Sigh...seems every human problem has been explained in song. Whose problem is being explained here?
