If you’re female, Bumble BFF is pretty great.

If you’re male, you don’t.

SA, do let us know. I haven’t had any luck on Bumble BFF but maybe I’m picky about friends

I've made both male and female friends through my gym. I think this really only works if you're a regular, though.

It’s something that just kind of developed over time since we would see each other every morning. What made it easy was when we’d sit in the lobby waiting for the gym to open. Eventually, we would just talk.

Yeah I’m hoping to make couple friends. Went to a meetup a few days ago and met some folks so far. Downside, there aren’t many meetups :(

Are you into any outdoor activities or sports? There are lots of meetups, clubs, or other ways to meet people that way. E.g run clubs like the Venice run club. Tennis clubs. Surfing meetups. Climbing gyms with orgs and meet ups. That would be my biggest rec for a guy. Im a F and have had success on Bumble BFF but would not recommend for a guy lol. Do you know anyone at all here? Meeting friends of friends is a great way to expand the network and find someone you click with

Breakup etiquette- we broke up and I was supposed to go to his relatives’s wedding in a couple of weeks. I know the couple, not super well, but have hung out and texted individually as well. Should I let them know I won’t be attending and wish them well or don’t reach out to them?

I’ve been married for a while now (5+ years) but feeling completely checked out. My wife has zero conflict resolution skills and can’t control her anxiety, so we constantly bicker if I ever do anything that offends her, and she wants to spend all her time talking about the constantly changing projects she will never start. I can’t ever talk about anything that worries me because she just freaks out. We have kids and she has no ability to earn money so leaving would be impossible financially

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?

I’ve had to step away from social media for my own mental sanity as I have a major issue with comparing myself to peers when it comes to life stages. (Single female, 34, never married, no male prospects, dog mom.) As a result, I feel like I’m doing a disservice to myself professionally as social media is a HUGE communication channel. Any advice on staying away or including it in my life in healthy ways?
