People, I need dating advice. Based in a very conservative European place (just keep in mind). Have been here for more than four years now and didn't manage to have a relationship since then. I guess it's partly the place, partly that I have been struggling with the career / mental well being, but in a good place now. Any advice on what has been a successful dating strategy in your early thirties?

What is a very conservative European place?

Visit Berlin

Try dating people you wouldn’t necessarily go for…this does not mean lower your standards but if you have a “type”, try meeting new people that go against the grain

Not only did I find a wonderful SO this way but I met some of the most amazing people, who are now my friends, with this strategy

It keeps life interesting and fun

Thanks!

Are you male or female? Are you looking for male or female?

Silly question, tried dating apps/sites? What were the results?

Looking for advice/input:

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?

I may be a giant asshole for this, but I sometimes don’t have the patience to deal with my SO’s mom..simply because she has the risk tolerance of a groundhog…she is scared of absolutely everything, and sometimes judges me for my opinions on things..not outwardly but like..subtly..and I’m not by any means someone that adventurous…it really doesn’t have any impact on our lives because we can just turn around and do what we want anyways but like..ughhh

Airlines should gameify reducing emissions by rewarding flyers with discounts/coupons/miles/etc if we choose a route with a certain % lower emissions. Reason being, most people don't "really" care about saving the environment enough to inconvenience themselves or prioritize their airplane emissions over factors like duration and arrival time, but introduce basic incentives and more people will seek the greenest routes just to save a few bucks, or at least consider it a major priority.
