Case 1: complaining about a date insisting on picking up the check as it makes them feel less independent.
Case 2: agreeing on 50/50, then being upset about why the date never picks up the check or treats them after 3 months of dating

In both cases, posted 5 days apart, they were advised to find someone else as it seems their date doesn’t respect their values (case 1) or value them enough to spend money on them (case 2).

Well, just 🤯

It appears to me that people don’t know how to communicate. That’s the real issue. I don’t know how you guys can be doing nasty things to each other but don’t know how to communicate your needs.

You asked the question. The answer is priorities.

Just pay and if they object, tell them they got you next time. 😉

To be fair, you could probably make that argument for anything. Maybe OP just really needs some advice

More proof we're living in a simulation

If she doesn't pay, I feel like she didn't really commit to the date, and I certainly wouldn't have sex with her.

Perhaps different people (women?) need and want different things from their partners? I don’t think that’s so hard to understand.

If you find it confusing, you could ask the people you intend to date their preference and/or communicate yours…

I’m about to start applying for editor jobs (preferably at post houses) and I’m wondering what the interview process is like. Is it more of a ”they look at your resume and website and hire you if they like what they see“?, Or is there an actual interview process? If so, what is the interview process like? Is it the generic “tell me a of a time when you exceeded expectations” crap? or more chill? Any input/in experience in this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Asking for advice: Hi ladies, how do you tell your SO that you want private time with your friends/colleagues? For context, my SO and I have been living together for 2 years. He doesn’t have a lot of friends and is a quiet type. His current friends are all our mutual friends. We do enjoy spending time just us two a lot, especially during this pandemic. However, I do have a group of colleagues/friends that I’m close to and usually prefer to hang with them seperately. (cont. in comment)
