"could alter the structure and function of the placenta increasing the risk of poor health outcomes" February 28, 2023
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2 ... 075744.htm
Literally the first words read at this link:

“Obesity in pregnant women could alter the structure and function of the placenta increasing the risk of poor health outcomes for both mother and baby.

Maternal obesity alters the structure of the placenta (a vital organ that nourishes the baby during pregnancy) more than gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); a condition is diagnosed by poor glucose control in pregnancy).”

Thanks for pointing that out canpakes, here's what I said in the opening post, " People tend to gain weight as they get older".

So, when is the best time for women to have babies?

Oh look, yet another topic where you try to argue women's choices about who they have sex with and when should be socially controlled.
People are free to do what ever they want, but that won't make the consequences go away.

Several studies recommend that women should have babies before age 23.

For example https://link.springer.com/article/10.10 ... 20-00859-8

Please stop defending child abuse.

That’s an extraordinary amount of effort expended in trying to make yourself feel good about the anger and resentment you feel towards women who rejected your romantic overtures. Didn’t you pay attention to the part about how this won’t work? It just feeds your obsession. You tell us you’ll stop — then you show us that you can’t stop. Not without help.

Have you made that appointment yet?
I won't create another thread about these topics, I promise, and I'll stop soon altogether.

Yes, I'll go to a therapist to help me with social anxiety and to train my brain not to be resentful.

You aren’t different. You’re in denial. And your’re going to be eaten alive by anger and resentment until you get the help you need.
Someone who is in denial isn't open to other possibilities. It may be the case that I can be happy and single and live a long and healthy life. I am open to that possibility. I agree that rejection isn't a bad thing. A girl saying "No" isn't the end of the world.

However, would you acknowledge that long-term loneliness can cause a lot of young men to be misogynist? Rejection is fine, long-term rejection is not, especially if you don't have good friends.

Re: New CNN report! I can't believe CNN had the guts to admit that women are too "picky". Warns of the consequences.

No, just end the loneliness. Make them all gay if you want, but do something about the loneliness.
Doubting Thomas loneliness can be a blessing. Trust me. You don't want to be married on her terms. Have you never been in an abusive relationship or even just a relationship? I don't understand why it has taken you this long to figure out that you're better off on your own.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Thomas, loneliness is a real problem for people. It is no joke. It is also true that there are some dark negative hallways whose door can be opened by loneliness. It is important to decide not to go through those doors or if started to turn around and get out of the bad pathways.

No. Denial in this context is being willfully blind to some ugly and destructive emotions you are feeling and constructing an elaborate system of reasoning in an attempt to convince yourself that you are justified in clinging to those emotions.

This elaborate structure your brain has constructed (you can think of it as a defense mechanism) includes saying things about yourself that are inconsistent with your actions. Yes, you know how to type the words “I am open to other possibilities,” but we’ve all watched you work very hard at finding reasons why those “possibilities” aren’t really possibilities at all.

I’m not going to respond to your “Wouldn’t you agree” question because what you are asking me to to is to harm you. I’m not willing to do anything that will signal to you in any way that the anger and resentment that is driving your obsession with the sex lives of young women is justifiable in any way, shape or form. Your threads on this topic have nothing to do with persuading anyone other than yourself of something that is harmful and destructive to you. You are free to choose to nurture your anger and resentment or to to learn how to allow it to pass on. But I’m not going to be complicit in self-destructive behavior now that I understand it for what it is.

Every minute you spend in digging through Research to find ways to blame young women’s choices in partners and seeking approval on this board will make it even harder for you to get to that happy life you want. You can continue to sabotage yourself if you want, but don’t ask me to assist you.

So, don’t bother seeking my agreement or approval on anything remotely connected with your obsession. You won’t get it. But you might get some more musing on how what you are doing is self destructive.

Have you made an appointment yet?

Why did you start this thread? What is going to change “soon” that will lead you to stop posting about the topic of young women’s sex lives?
