Hello! I’ve previously only dated white guys. While in quarantine I’ve gone on dil mil and made an effort with brown guys on apps. Surprised to find that many live at home or visit home often in mid 20s, are not financially independent, cannot cook for themselves etc. Is this typical? Or maybe it’s just the area I live in. Sorry if this came off as offensive, it just seems to be a pattern I noticed

Waiting sucks. Left waiting for my h1b transfer approval...

Need opinions. My gf (who is white) and I have been dating for over 3 years. Engagement is pretty much on the horizon but officially not yet. We looked at a house for giggles for ideas as we were told it already had offers. It's in Northern Virginia for ~600k(!). The agent told us if we went through her and the lender the seller is using, they would actually probably let us have it for about 630. Credit was run and we're both great on that front. House is decent and payment will be really cont'd
