Is the dating scene harder in other cities or the same everywhere? Some people say NY is “toxic” idk what that means, it’s all about people everywhere not willing to settle for less than the best

I’ve lived in 3 major American cities and 2 international ones. Can confirm that the dating scenes are veerrrrrry different

I second this. Dating in the USA is toxic. It’s about culture. Man are not masculine and women aren’t feminine.

in nyc in like 3 hours of swiping i matched with two entirely separate men who had founded two entirely matcha latte startups (this was 2017). in dc i went on a pretty long date with multiple locations that ended up with us realizing we had vaguely known each other for about 10 years. in my mind this perfectly sums up dating in nyc and dc

funny

@OP - lots of “”founders”” of trendy things in nyc. dc is a small company town. i wouldn’t say either is better or worse than chicago just frustrating in their own special ways

Can confirm NYC very toxic

How

Yep the dating apps are toxic everywhere. Check out earlyburdz on IG for a new take on dating. It's an events and networking club for ambitious singles

NYC/DC are better than Chicago if you’re attracted to ambitious and career oriented types. On the flipside, they can feel a bit elitist.

The dating pool is also more diverse and makes it easier to date as a POC.

Can confirm dating in different cities is veryyyy different. Atlanta sucked! Chicago is much better. LA is also pretty rough (I’m not into the free spirit hobo vibe)

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

My husband does not show affection openly and is quite lazy in bed, and I thought I could deal with it because I love him, but it’s really really beginning to annoy me. For example, he refuses to do any foreplay and basically asks that I get on top of him most of the time when we have have sex- if I push him to do anything else he basically just refuses to have sex at all as some sort of ‘protest’. I am finding myself fantasising about an affair more and more

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
