I feel like men have been so aggressive lately in terms of the dating scene. Everyone I meet seems so entitled. I'm seriously considering celibacy until I actually meet someone who I feel like genuinely sees me as more than a body. Have any of you ladies tried celibacy and how did it go for you?

I am right there with you sister. It doesn't matter if I meet men out in the wild, on apps, at work, you name it, they really are all the same. I hate dating in todays day and age because it is just not fun anymore. Dating should be fun and instead it is a giant energy suck.

right! I haven't dated in 2.5 years because it's so draining and feels like a chore.

What types of guys are you going for and where are you meeting them?

I’ve been hooking up with a guy off and on for a little over 4 years (met right after a break up) and early on set the boundary that it’s just sex. Recently told a friend abt him (we were out she wanted to know who I was texting/who was picking me up) & now she’s trying to convince me that I’m just in denial (and so is he) of having feelings for each other. He’s a good guy, has his life together, and we have fun, but I don’t get why the arrangement we have is a problem/needs to be changed??

Curious what people's age ranges for dating are. There's the classic "half your age plus seven" rule, but wondering if that's actually followed.

Just want some dating advice. I been seeing this guy and we both in for the long haul. He has this best friend, and basically I hate her. I’m a guy btw. She is like this dramatic annoying type who bosses around. I’m a very quiet guy and I don’t like drama. My SO really wants me to be friend with her but I genuinely hate her. The moment she steps in the room I’m like “argh you again”. We had an argument because I don’t wanna hang with her. I don’t know what to do. Advices would be super appreciat

Anyone here made the move from a boutique ECVC firm to in house at a VC?

I don’t want to make partner, so I’m exploring what options there may be to go in house with an ECVC background.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
