I'm an early 30s F who collects manga and still watches anime. Is this a turn off when dating in NYC in your thirties? Honest answers guys!

Not a turn off at all. Doing whatever you enjoy and just owning it are big turn ons.

Guy here. No, you be you. We all have our own interest, don’t hide them.

I think you're thinking of your interest as being out of the mainstream, but anime arrived in the states more than 50 years ago, and has had an ENORMOUS influence on American culture. I think you should easily be able to find a guy who also digs anime. It's pretty popular.

Agreed with PwC1. It’s great to have hobbies and be passionate about it. You do you M1. However, given the hectic weekday schedules, I would want a partner who has some similar or complementing hobbies so that we can enjoy those during the weekend. For reference mid-30s M here!

Just something such that two people can spend time enjoying together, Iike one could be a foodie and other wine aficionado. They can go to wineries or try out different restaurants

I don’t think so because a 30 year old guy told me I’m a red flag because I don’t watch anime… so I think this makes you desirable haha

Who cares what people say. You enjoy what you enjoy and that is perfectly fine

It’s a nonissue for us. Ironically, it likely would be a problem if you were a straight guy

I’m not in my thirties nor am I male, man, or gender fluid. . . but think it makes you 1) fun because you have a hobby you thoroughly enjoy, and 2) charming because you’ll most likely want to share that interest with whoever you date

Thanks!

Do you, my dear! It’s not turn off.

I think there are women who would consider being super into anime or manga as a red flag in guys, but it’s generally not an issue the other way around.

No

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

Hi there!!

🥰🥰
I just want to say that I'm queer and married, in a Cis-hetero passing relationship 🤭

Do we have to talk about dating like all the time?

Can't we talk about other stuff? Like promoting THE AGENDA (jk)

No, but FR let's talk about being open and accepted in the workplace? How did you do that? How (un) friendly is the work environment?

Thankyaaaaaaaalll 😘😘😘

Signed up for a matchmaking service a couple months ago after getting tired of the apps. And while I’ve been underwhelmed with their process so far, I finally have my first match date this weekend. Haven’t been on a date since pre-pandemic. And never been on a true blind date like this. Wish me luck.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
