My husband is turning 30 year and me next year. We don’t really care much about the age. We are looking for people who like outdoors, and we can plan treks/outdoor activities or even just hangout with.

Hey! I feel the exact same way. I’ve been here for a year and pre Covid it was just an address on paper. Now that Covid is helping me make actual use of my rent, I’ve come to realize I have no social circle! Let’s connect and figure out if we can meet up - (safely)

Yeah would like that! DM me if you would like to chat more.

He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side.

This year’s ROMBA felt underwhelming. Partying was ok, per usual, but the conference itself felt blah. Panels were mediocre, corporate events were cheap-ish, there weren’t enough senior people. Even hooking up was just twinks on twinks on twinks mostly (not into them, so choices were very limited). Is it post-covid, corporate cost cuts or something else?
