What’s something you found out really late?

  1. You probably have a better chance with very attractive women, especially if they’re taller than 5’10, than you think because a lot of men are intimidated and simply don’t approach them.

  2. There will be some who will hate you and there will be some who will like you. You can’t be in good list of everyone.

  3. If you don’t take a break from time to time, your body will take one. If you want or not. If you can manage or not. You are not indestructable.

  4. That you shouldn’t stay in relationship purely for the sake of the children.

  5. If you are dating a girl who is not virgin.
    If you don’t meet her for more than 4 months – she will fuck her best friend

  6. That you have to approach and talk to girls to get a girlfriend.

  7. Time is precious. Wasting it on the wrong person will be a regret you cannot shake

  8. Found out at the age of 26 that I was actually gay and had kinda known it because of certain thoughts and situations through the years

  9. You can’t even please everyone. Some people will hate you just for the sake of it.

  10. Pickles are cucumbers. I was about 12, I thought pickles just grew.

  11. I use to call the Daddy Longlegs, Dandy Longlegs. No one corrected me until my mid 20s. Think Dandy suits it better …

  12. Engineering school has drilled into my head that the earlier you catch a mistake, the easier it is to fix. Fixes on the production line are cheaper than fixes in the customer’s driveway. It took me embarrassingly long to realize that *this also applies to relationship problems.*

    Bottling things up works until it doesn’t. The problems pile up, but because they happened months ago, they’re harder and harder to bring up. Then comes the random outburst. The reasons are abundantly clear to you, but a complete surprise to everyone else. Months of built up resentment pour out at once, or you just keep feeling terrible about it in private, or you dump someone out of the blue because the resentment meter reached a threshold.

    The worst part is that other people now second-guess every time you say that something is fine, because it might become part of your next outburst.

    Clear is kind. Communicate your feelings early. The mild discomfort is a lot better than the relationship-breaking behaviours further down the road.

  13. Canadian musician City and Color is called as such because his actual name is Dallas Green. Took me years to put this together

  14. That you can’t force finding someone, if it’s meant to happen it will happen.

  15. That I don’t need to be so worried about getting fired for small mistakes. It generally takes a lot to be let go (in most companies, anyways).

  16. That generally people can actually visualize and hear things in their head. I always thought things like “picture a candle in your mind” was a metaphor. Turns out a lot of people can actually picture it. I can’t do any of that.

  17. That women do not in fact piss out of their vaginas. I think I was in my mid-20s when I found this out.

  18. a mans dating life starts at 35. you will be in the market for those 21-60…

    focusing on dating from 25-35 is sort of dumb. focus on finance/fitness/personality maxxing. all the dating will roll in later

  19. Dud you know that antibiotics can negate/ render useless certain medicines like birth control? Learned that tidbit AFTER she found out she was late.

  20. Not a man, but I thought “accident” was pronounced “ak-suh-did-ent (accididn’t)” for the longest time because… you did something you DIDN’T wanna do. My brother and I both learned that after like… ten to twelve years old. Oof.
