I am learning Italian for fun, mostly.

Is anyone else in Chicago currently learning or already speaks Italian? Is so, do you want to become friends? Lol If it matters, I am a married man in my early 30s.

Even if not, does anyone know of businesses that I could frequent where the employees speak Italian? ie, Restaurant, Bar, Bakery, Spa, Barber, etc.

At what point do you stop splitting rent/bills 50/50 with your fiance? She makes 75 and I make 125, we don’t live a wild lifestyle so we could both individually afford 100% of our rent/bills, but I have student loans and she doesn’t. I’m thinking of keeping everything 50/50 until we get married or unless she asks - is that fair?

Read a very interesting article on that used machine learning and a lot of data to find key things people look on a relationship:
- Tall (if a man),
- Rich,
- Specific race/ethnicity,
- Similarity to one self (people are 11% more likely to date someone with a similar name)
- Sexy name? I may have to change mine now
- Physical attractiveness
- Occupation of authority - if a man

And these same factors were classified as the ones with the least impact on happiness in a relationship

Do you feel Chicago gets an abnormal amount of micro/passive aggressive comments from your coworkers or am I crazy? I’m always thinking cool, I didn’t ask your opinion on whether you could live here, or the Midwest, and I’ll keep to myself that I’ve visited your bland soulless American carbon copy city and Chicago is 1000x better in almost every way…
