What do 40 year olds do in the city to meet other people? What has worked for others? All I like to do is drink gamble and watch sports and feel like I have no other hobbies. All my GFs have gotten married and moved to Suburbia. I just hate that life but not sure what’s left for me in NYC at this point… how do you meet other people to make new friends later in life

I'm not sure age has much to do with it when people are really young or senior citizens. That middle age group starts to do all the same stuff lol.

I'm surprised you haven't met people while out gambling or going to sports bars. They're usually very social, so maybe try to engage people you see often or make friends with the bar tenders. They know who the regulars are and usually make connections if they like you (and you tip well).

I didn't see you list a hobby or anything that fosters creativity so I'd focus there. You can also try Bumble BFF; since vaccines are available, it seems BFF feature is more active again.

Good luck! ❤

When you test a GL account cause the balance is in-scope. Do you net the untested debits and credits together to determine if acceptably low? Or is it determined by untested debits being below PM and untested credits being below PM?

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week. I texted her today to ask if she was still interested in doing something this week and she said she was super busy with a huge project and apologized. But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲
