Circuit parties: new scene for me. I want to simply go out dancing with my friends, but the hook-up culture at these things is overwhelming (at least where I have been going). Guys will come up and try to dance, but I don’t want any of it. Then the guy feels like shit - I certainly don’t want that. Is this most or all circuit parties? Any advice? Maybe I just need to become more fun or maybe it’s not for me 😔

You could be approached at any bar or club regardless of whether or not it is a circuit party. Just decline to dance and move on. You will not ruin someone's life by not dancing with then. The guys who are used to going out and approaching others are very used to handling rejection. Don't worry about it so much and enjoy yourself.

Thank you. My anxiety needed this.

Are you exclusively into circuit music? Plenty of gay dance venues/parties that are non-sexual.

Yeah that's kind of the point of a circuit party. Probably best to go with a large group of friends where there's less pressure

Definitely. I have more fun when the group is bigger.

Used to go to many of them in my late 20s (mid 30s now) and had a blast. My recommendation is to go in knowing your own boundaries, always have a group with you, share your location and don't accept goodies from strangers. And hey, if it's not your vibe, lots of other social events that aren't as intense :)

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?

Anyone’s company still going through the hiring process up to Christmas? Was in the running for a role at a consultancy and had an interview scheduled for weeks.

I have other interviews lined up but this one was a favourite.

Never had this happened before, so just curious to know if this is normal?
