This is a man.   Feed him and have sex every day.  
 
Apparently my wife and I are still off the charts 13 years after marrying.  We can't figure out what's wrong with people.   Use it or lose it, lol!

I don't like being a sex symbol.  But I am not going to petition the government or sue people who call me so.

Philippines has so disgusted us with their idiotic response to Covid that we have cancelled our retirement move there.
 
How stupid, you fools.  We were negotiating for a half-mile of beach frontage on a nice island last February.  We had to flee before we finished the sale, and they stopped my wife from boarding because Duterte (who we loved before this) outlawed Filipinos from most Asia destinations.  She made it out on an alternate route but got sick from the stress.  
 
I am a construction contractor and have already built one house in the Philippines, but was looking forward to employing half a village to build a break-water, a pier, and another larger home.    We built a small experimental fish farm in the USA to gain the experience we needed running one in the Philippines.  We would have employed another family on the farm, but now I have scuttled the whole thing.  All of our resources that would have supported Filipinos - it's all thrown away.   
 
What they don't understand is that even if Philippines came to its senses and removed all the economy-destroying restrictions, people like us will not trust them ever again.  Come back?  Why should I?   By far my highest priority in the future is which places respected the rights of its citizens.  I'll be in Mexico in a few weeks to get my dental work done instead of Philippines.  More money down the tubes for both the dentists and some young hotties who would have enjoyed my company.  Now the latina girls will be giving my money to their families.  
 
I would expect Philippines to do exactly as it has:  to continue being a leader in stupidity by being a follower of dictatorial fads.   Governments are eager now to impose "health passports" and other permanent inhibitions to travel.   Philippines will do whatever the most restrictive countries do.  
 
The money they have handed out created new corrupt and vile Barangay Captains and public health officials.  Giving people power like this is guaranteed injustice and a proliferation of petty tyrannies.
 
My wife and I had not even bothered to apply for her US Citizenship because we were so intent on moving to the Philippines.   But after this asinine move by Philippines, she got her US Citizenship and we live in an area with no restrictions whatsoever.   People are happy.  They smile at each other and act cheerfully.  When we go to a city that has restrictions, the tension is palpable. It's like your humanity has been removed.

The patient is terminal and life support should be removed.

Hahahahah! So true.
The people that are defending "traditional" Indian culture - you have this wrong in a big way. The husband is expected to work to provide for his family. The father is a lazy, unemployed mooching bum instead. He is a bum by the traditional cultural standard. There is a huge difference between expecting children to help the parents after retirement age vs the leach that uses it as an excuse not to work while able-bodied.
If people were actually paying attention to cultural standards instead of using it as a convenient excuse to be a parasite, then the father would be viewed as bringing dishonor to his family by being a leach instead of working like the other Indian men of his age. A woman thinking about marrying in to such a family would view the family with suspicion and scorn for having a patriarch that is such a loser.
and the apple don't fall very far from the tree.

I am hearing this about India, and have not heard anything contrary to it. So thanks for pointing that out to every one who has - I am taking this to be true.
From what you said too I think we agree that regardless, cultural affectations have to stand on their own merits instead of being blindly accepted. Ghastly things like headhunting, cannibalism, infanticide, child rape, mutilation, slavery, spousal beating, etc. are also cultural, many of which continue on today. We can't just say "oh, yea well he's old-school cannibal so lets just show a little cultural sensitivity here..."
It's fine if she's cool with his cultural affectations. But she clearly isn't. So it begs the question: why choose it in a spouse if you loathe it so much?
