People often express annoyance whenever I mention my real-life experiences of being “not black” to black people but “too black” to literally everyone else, yet these are the responses I get when I try to interact with anyone. No, it's not always verbal; physical expressions are just as clear. I can't say I'm single by choice. I'm often prejudged before anyone gets to know me.

Brought too much pears from Costco. Trying to pimp them out to my family.

I'm working at a startup where I feel like I've spent as much time trying to deal with product issues vs working on roadmap items. I get this is bound to happen in a start up but is this common? I'm not sure what to do. It seems like no one really thought about the architecture or ux as much as they should have in my opinion. I need some advice.

As product managers, what questions would you ask when interviewing a product designer?

How do you discuss deals that are still in progress (for interviews) without giving away confidential information?
Particularly a buy-side deal, bidding rounds are still in progress

Let's talk about what's great at DBS!

Why do partners tell associates to be cost-conscious when billing for certain clients when they can just cut your hours on the back end?

Billables are low this month. Like I have 65 billable hours in so far. I’ve messaged partners over the last week to try and get more cases but there are tons of new associates who were just onboarded and were at a low point for business. I’m freaking out

What would you wear to an industry networking event on the beach? It advertises “this beach front celebration is shore casual” dress code and says “flip flops and shorts are in, ties and heels are out.” How would you strike a balance between over and under dressed?

Any people looking to date in Atlanta ? 40 F

In my 40s, here in the larger NYC area for a couple weeks visiting family. Male, athletic. If anyone's interested in chatting (admittedly in a playful mood currently, so that's my current preference), drop me a DM.

Not in my 30s or 40s but looking to network with people in industry. I am a fun person so you will not get bored :)

Who here is willing to turn on networking for the next 2 hours?? People want to see their options in this bowl! You can then quietly go back into the shadows.

Where them 30+ ladies at? 25M 🙋‍♂️😉

Rewatching Brokeback Mountain, which came out 15 years ago (hard to believe that). Anyway, it's still an outstanding, devastating film (and love story) that I think if had been released 10 years later would have easily won best picture and best actor for Heath Ledger.

In my opinion one of the worse things you could hear from someone when you are dating is ‘I usually don’t talk to someone like you’. It makes it seem like you are just settling for that person.

36 F Black NYC Divorced, 1 tween. anyone want to get to know one another better?

Welcome to the 30s and 40s singles bowl! Here’s to hoping the posts in this bowl are a bit more mature. Relying on the honor system here, try not to lie about your age.

Just curious, do people from this bowl still do sexting?

Any F in nyc wanna hang out this weekend? 30 M here.

Any F in the Bay Area wana have some exciting time?

I am feeling naughty since morning! Anyone sharing the feeling?

Feeling a deep void in close human connection after letting go a relationship that was lacking a future (I was interested in something more, he was unsure). Can’t stop thinking of reaching out and need strength to just stay with the loneliness and have hope for the better times. Would appreciate support. It’s been 2 weeks but I feel bouts of extreme sadness and desire to have someone to share my life and days with.

I recently asked everyone’s age filters on dating apps and there were some mentions of fear of baggage and that’s why you don’t date older than X. What baggage are you afraid of? Ex spouses? Kids from prior relationships? What is it?

Are text message breakups acceptable? Better than complete ghosting right

Where do professionals 30+ meet people these days besides dating apps?!
