Empirical research I’ve seen says yes. There was a British piece of research saying that you could track declines in a woman’s salary for each additional kg of weight she had on (I think the point was they didn’t see this phenomenon as pronounced for men).

I never wore any makeup till I was 42, tried wearing it for fun during a family wedding and liked the look, started light makeup for the past 2 years, FWIW, I pass on as mid thirty, I do feel fresh longer and more confident in general.

Few things unite paid social peeps like the fresh hell that is Sprinklr. I no longer work with it on a regular basis, but every once in a while I shudder remembering the rage I felt trying to bulk build ads or pull reporting in the dashboard, especially on the rare occasions I had to work on weekends. Does anyone use it for paid and actually love it??

Thinking about relocating in a year or two, considering renting out our 55 year old townhouse vs selling. I have some concerns that the bones are pretty mediocre (old plumbing has leaked for me, electrical is aluminum). How would you decide and if renting, how do you budget differently for repairs?

Further context: I already rent out a tiny condo I have by using a property manager, and if I kept this townhouse I'd turn management over to them as well.

(38F). My boyfriend (39M) after 2 years together (long distance but travel to one another and spend time), suddenly told me he wants to try to be a musician again. He did this in his 20s , failed and started his corporate career at 26. He’s a Senior Manager in Fl but i personally feel is underpaid. He was supposed to move in to my place in September and start living together. I initially told him I would support his music on the side while he pursues his corporate career full time. *Cntd below*

My accountant set me up as a small business in order to help me write off things as “office expenses”. Just found out this is how I got a hefty return. Is there anything I should be wary of? Im fine with this as long as I won’t get in trouble down the line. He said we could only do this for 1-2 more years (3-4 total) and he confirmed I could write off the costs of a car im planning on leasing soon. Posting here in the hopes that the group will be more helpful than plain judgemental of me :)

Ok ladies I need your interpretation. a work friend who’s a guy and 6 years older texted me a pic of his rooftop, and I said I’d love to come see it next time I’m in the area. He said “you can do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t become work drama”. Is this shutting me down because he thinks I like him (I don’t like him romantically though), or is this inviting me to do more/flirting? What does this mean?? (More details in comments)

Last night, we were watching the election with family and my husband could not stop being on his phone.

I just got really annoyed and we’ve increasingly been getting into fights when we drink. Was this argument petty of me? Should I probably stop drinking...

Need opinions on this. I’m invited to a bachelorette party in the spring. We’re taking a cruise. The maid of honor is now insistent that everyone pay extra so we can pay for the brides whole trip. It’s not a ton of money across everyone but the principle feels off. In a not cruise bachelorette I wouldn’t hesitate to pay for the bride but paying for a multi day cruise just isn’t rubbing me the right way. This girl is also having a destination wedding. Am I overreacting feeling weird about this?
