If a man works 50 hours a week, is that too much?
Gee quit complaining and be happy he has a job. Would you rather not have any money to pay the bills? My husband has worked a regular full time job 6 days a week, 12 hour days for most of our marriage until they cut his hours now he works 10 hour days 5 days a week and more often, 10 hour days 6 days a week. He never has Saturdays off. And he also does yard work on the side so there are 6 days a week he leaves before 7am and gets home after 8pm.

Is 9 hours of work per day too much if you get 1 hour for lunch?
If you do a little research you'll find that it wasn't easy to get the eight hour work day. You can thank the unions for that one. I think anything over a 10 hour work day is too much especially being in L.A. You have to factor in an extra hour each way to get to and from work as well. I worked 16 hours a day 7 days a week for almost ten straight years when Las Vegas had it's great building boom and the only thing I got out of that was old before my time and a complete beating in divorce court. Don't out spend the money you earn and be grateful for that 8 hour day. People had to fight for it long ago. The same people are now ruining that though. Most of that last few companies I worked for would skip break and we'd have a 10 minute lunch to beat a little traffic. Same people who battled to get a break and a lunch to begin with are just throwing it away. Sorry for the long answer, I'm a aggravated union guy. Also an ex major workaholic. Some guy from Texas talked to me a few minutes while in Vegas and straightened me out. Don't live to work, work to live. Minimize the over time as much as possible and stay social with family and friends. People at work are short term acquaintances at best and will back stab you in a heartbeat no matter how much you think you know them. I do think a 1 hour lunch is to long. But a 10 minute lunch isn't enough. Try for 30 mins and you may feel a lot better with an extra half hour away from the grind everyday.
Why don’t women understand why men hate “gold diggers”?
After reading the responses of many of the regulars on GS, I get the impression that most of you have no idea what that term actually means to men. When a guy makes crude sexual remarks to you, or tells you that you are “hot”, you get offended. Think for a moment about why that is. Men don't like being objectified either, especially if the quality that you are being judged for is something that could be easily lost, like looks, or financial stability. Men want to believe that you like him because he is cool, not because he drives a Corvette or because he can afford Italian suits. Why do I get the impression that most women are clues-less about this?
GS: Are women the stronger sex?
Yes. Women live longer, women have less mental illness, and women are more emotionally intelligent. We can also take more pain and generally have lower body strength. Compared to a man being able to throw a punch harder? It's obvious women are the stronger sex, and men are the weaker.
Can I prepare for IAS just by studying 3 hours everyday (I have started reading NCERT)? How can a busy working professional study and pass the exam within 1–2 years?
I am telling you some ways that you can follow to reach there:Download joshjagran app at your mobile phone, for all the current affairs topic wise and try to read them during your travel time if possible, it hardly takes your half an hour. Read NCERT twice or thrice as it would be helpful to make you conceptually strong at your points. Two subjects at a time, divide your time equally. Notes ,you can take notes of ias institutes as many are providing distance learning programmes for people like you.Read The Hindu daily anyhow, this newspaper is the heart of UPSC ,you can't ignore it.Write, if you are not able to make it daily then on weekends, whatever you read the whole week you just write it all ,no matter good or bad ,write it like a story and you can feel the difference thereafter by yourself. Analyse. Start analysing the things around you and start thinking about the other part of the coin,provide solution of each and every problem to your head, it will make you problem analyser and would be helpful during your mains. Be motivated. Never lose your hope.Be consistent and be regular with your studies time.Last three points are the key factors,believe me, as the famous proverb says:Success demands only 5% of knowledge and 95% of your confidence. But always remember that without this 5% of knowledge , you can't gain that 95% of confidence.Hope it helps. All the very best.
Can I raise a German Shepherd while working for 40 hours Mon to Fri?
Assuming you work 8 hours a day plus the travelling to and from work, it comes to more than 40 hours per week. A german shepherd puppy eats 4–5 small meals a day and will pee/poop immediately after eating and after waking up from his naps. You may need help raising him in the initial few months.Once the puppy starts growing (around 5 months), the number of meals decreases and they have better control while peeing and pooping. Once the vaccinations are complete, you can take your puppy for a walk before you go to work, to tire him out. After coming back home, the puppy will sleep while you can head to work. Make sure to keep a bowl of fresh water and a few toys around.You can ask someone (maid, friend, family or neighbor) to feed him again in the afternoon and clean the pee/poop or take for a short walk to pee/poop outside. Change the water in the bowl and play with him. Once he is napping they can leave.As soon as you come back from work, take him out for a walk again for pee/poop. After coming back you can feed him, play with him. This way you can manage to keep a german shepherd provided this schedule can be strictly followed for at least until the puppy is one year old.After that you can leave him alone in the house for a longer period of time without anyone checking up on him. Make sure to keep water, toys and some chew sticks so that he is busy by himslef and not destroying the house.Alternatively, you can adopt an adult GSD and bypass the puppy stage and toilet training altogether. Adult dogs eat only once or twice a day, so you can feed him before going to work and after coming home. Some people also train their dogs to pee in the bathroom for convenience when there is noboday to take them out.
