Emptied some stuff over the weekend 😎
Hey folks
I got a call from TCS to interview for a new unit formed within org with the name of Business Transformation Group as per new org restructuring. Anyone from TCS who can help to understand more about this?
Does it cater to only niche technologies or how does this actually function?

No. No man wants to be a women’s 2nd option. Unfortunately that’s the reality for most men these days. Also one of the reasons why divorce rate is so high in the United States.
Interesting article! Only 30% of the time women swipe right but it didn’t mention the men percentage which is probably close to 80% they’re swiping right. I don’t see the other side of these apps as I’m a woman and only see the men but I’m assuming these ladies are putting their best selves out there and also probably hyper analyze their own profiles (no grainy pics, awkward selfies, strange prompts). Meanwhile, 70% of the men’s profiles look like they didn’t put their best self out there so we go by what’s just put out and we hyper analyze their profiles as if we made it.
Every relationship has a reacher and settler but the successful relationship is where both parties think they are the reacher.
Usually if there are significant self-esteem issues or if the other person made them feel that way.
How does this man know know he is Mr Good enough for her and how does this woman know she is settling?
Someone that’s been around the block and interacted with a whole host of women. Are you looking for a specific degree? I’m afraid I haven’t got one in this realm.
I think everyone settles on certain things and in different ways. Even if your partner is as perfect as anyone human can be, you are "settling" in the sense of the opportunity costs of exclusivity.
The problem comes if / when she focuses on the things she feels she's settled on and ignores the benefits she's getting in return. (I.E, Guy A is not the most attractive man she's ever been with, but he's stable, caring, and willing to commit to her, vs. Guy B who is extremely physically attractive but only texts her ever other Saturday night after the pub closes.)

I think as long as both are happy and willing to put the work in it doesn’t matter who reached and settled. I would be hesitant if a woman told me she was settling with me and that I wasn’t or wouldn’t be her first choice.
What exactly are we talking about?
A woman experiencing being treated like crap because she likes “bad boys” and realizes that bad guys are bad guys to them as well.
Or are we talking about physical appearance, mental popularity, muscles guy?
Either one says she appreciates an fell in love who you are, being yourself, being respectful to her. Mature and reliable and not a loser womanizer. And you have had such an effect on her, the GQ guy is practically invisible!
We don’t want to be SETTLED for. We want you to want us. I’m a decently attractive guy and most of the experience I’ve had with women was mostly friendships and hook ups. I’ve advocated to further the relationships but end up getting ghosted. Over the past 4 years I’ve come to realize that I’m attractive enough to fuck or have around but not commit to. Being settled for is out of the question now. When men hear settle all we hear is: you couldn’t get the men you wanted and now you’ll take whatever to get off the streets. I’m a no nonsense person when it comes to dating now I want a wife I want kids. I am no longer willing to make exceptions due to the many years of manipulation. I know the tactics y’all use to a T now. I’m not saying you have to be perfect or can’t make mistakes but if the qualities aren’t there I’m not going to expect someone who settled for me to go above and beyond for me.
Most men don’t have a choice
No, most men do not want to be seen as "Mr. Good Enough" by their partners. Men, like women, desire to be valued, respected, and loved for who they are, rather than feeling like a compromise or settling option in a relationship. Mutual respect and appreciation are fundamental for a healthy and fulfilling partnership.
