So i am 28 and i feel like giving up on finding a partner. Thinking i should just date a woman with the hope of having kids and starting a family. I’m bi but prefer men. However i have had enough of the hookup culture as i approach 30. I do not see a light at the end of the tunnel. It would be so depressing being in my mid30s still going through the cycle of random hook ups n failed situationships, while all my friends are getting married, having kids, and building lives with significant others.

Life is too short to settle for someone (or some gender) that is your second choice. Keep at it. In the meantime, I know it’s easier said than done, but maybe try meeting people (men) in different places/circumstances. Less Grindr or bars, more coffee shops, intramural leagues, etc.

I was exhausted with dating when I found my current boyfriend. I didn’t do anything special to find him. It was a Grindr conversation that turned into a date rather than a hookup. There are guys (and ladies) out there struggling just as you are. I hope you find someone that you can have a happy life with!

I'm new here.

I had an interview in LTI for a .Net Developer position. There were 2 technical rounds and I got selected. I received an email from the recruiter to submit the documents and EAF. I had submitted the requested documents the same day. The recruiter told me that she will schedule the HR round.

I was following up with her, and after a month she messaged me on WhatsApp and said, the HR round can't be scheduled because my expected CTC is her maximum budget. Seriously 😳
