Some good stuff in there but you lost me here:

forget about peeing standing up

i very rarely pee standing up outside my own home. part of it is a medical condition. part of it is not wanting to take the blame for careless teenage boys who don't know what to do with their pecker.

I was listening to a podcast the other day where they were talking about the decline of western men. one was a man that was very serious about his faith and one was more of a MGTOW kind of guy. The Catholic framed something that really resonated with me, albeit, a tad vulgar.

When they were talking about divorce and it's prevalence he said "i stood up in front of my family and took a fricking blood oath that i will not leave this woman. and that means something to me. it wasn't a contract. it wasn't an agreement that we could renege on. it was an oath"

"fricking blood oath" stood out to me.

i don't use that word often, but it applies and i think if people would approach marriage that way instead of "you're hot, i'm hot, let's get married," we'd be in a better world. and if people stopped sticking things in or let things be stuck in them by people they don't want to raise children with.

Yeah that whole pee sitting down thing negated your whole post. I was with until in and I agreed with most of it.
