How do y’all feel about Michelle Obama speaking on dating and relationship goals in podcasts? Don’t get me wrong it’s wise knowledge, but comping from a win who got married young and had kids, yet speaking to single childless women about these topics.

I haven’t listened to the podcast so not sure what type of advice she’s giving, but on surface, who’s better to give advice on dating + relationships than someone who’s seen one all the way through successfully? Not saying single, childless women don’t have great gems as well, but having diverse experiences weigh in I’ve found to personally be most helpful in my own experiences. Again I don’t know what she’s giving advice on, but I wouldn’t discount a married woman’s perspective if that’s what I’m after too.

@S1, I agree. There is a lot of content and “noise” out there. But what’s relatable and useful vs. just noise is based on personal experience and biases. That’s why there are so many voices and perspectives who are widely viewed/listened to. Discernment has always been necessary though. Even if you’re listening to someone close, their proximity to you doesn’t make them any more qualified than anyone else. It’s always been personal choice. It’s just now the options are virtually limitless which can be both a very good and very bad thing.

I’ve seen her clips on TikTok. She’s been married for a while and she’s raised kids. My own mom has a lot of the same advice she gives. My mom married around the same age as Michelle as well. I think it’s good to hear from women that are older. I also like that she had Tracee Ellis Ross to come on to speak from the perspective of a single childless woman. Way too many millennials and gen z kids are listening to one another. More of us need to hear from people that are older and wiser and that have been through some things.

I don’t think much of it, because I don’t listen to her podcast. I don’t begrudge her at all. Everyone needs something to do with their time. My real question is do her daughters listen to her? Those children sacrificed a lot. I get the impression they’re living life on their own terms now.

Whether they grew up in the White House or not I feel like they should’ve always live life on their own terms now. They definitely don’t seem to be following in either of their parents footsteps

Looking to buy my fiancé the Speedmaster Racing current edition as an engagement watch.

I’m not at all familiar with this process so 1) can anyone recommend a better venue for this purchase? 2) are any of the quotes I’ve gotten so far good? (My friend’s watch guy said brokers can get Omegas up to 36% off retail?)

Super beautiful watch, just thinking it’s a bit flashy for me.
