What’s the worst reason someone has rejected you?🧐

What is the difference between fetish and kink? I thought they were same.

I just moved to the city. Any dating do’s and don’ts? I’m not American and not sure if there are cultural things I should avoid

Matched with a girl on hinge. She’s catholic. We haven’t met yet and I offered to go to Mass with her so we could meet the old school way and she loved the idea and didn’t find it awkward 🥺

Anyone move to Miami in the last 1-2 years? what’s it like vs where you were before? Do you like it so far? How’s the dating scene if you’re BIPOC?

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.

Single 29 M. Any single female from Kolkata?

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

Men of FB, how did you girlfriends / wives sex drive change with age?

28F, Indian, decent looking, moderately religious, partial hijabi, NYC looking for a broad minded and easy going guy. Why is this so hard??

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Any women here who have dated both men/women/NB, will to chat to me? i'm currently dating a woman and i'm so confused about something TMI to ask anyone in real life, also I'm not out to many. TIA 💛

I’m actually cheating since I am on Grove Street 😃

What are your favorite places for 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th dates in the Bay Area? Please share some date ideas other than restaurants :) thanks!

Currently going through divorce proceedings. I honestly don't want to date anyone right now but I have this fear that I'm already 28 and I'll never meet anyone good. I went on some apps and matched with some guys but I feel like they're all the same and I don't wana get to know anyone. But I'm also scared for my future.

So I was hesitant to join this bowl due to the fact that I am not technically single yet. I am currently going through a divorce. I thought this bowl might be a way to meet people who could help me navigate the dating world (which is terrifying to me).

Has anyone seen bottomline savings from RPA? Feels like it’s still being sold as a cost reduction play everywhere but I’m yet to come across cases where team size reduced from 500 to 300 due to RPA.

Hi queers, queens and everything in between 💕

I’ve been a family caregiver for four years, and now look to return to the workforce. I realize that this will be a bit difficult, especially during these economic conditions, plus other factors, such as being an older employee, etc. I updated my account with a few job sites, adding on the fact that I took time off to care for a family member. I would appreciate some advice, anything that would be helpful.

I really ruined things with the most beautiful girl that’s ever liked me before. I still very much like her but she doesn’t anymore. She said I was asking too much of her during the talking stage (after 1 month, I wanted to talk to her more besides only our weekends - she never texted/called).
Do I try again and give her more space or do I move on? I think she might open up more but just takes time which I didn’t give her

Hey humans! this morning I exercised, steam roomed, and floated in a sensory deprivation tank. I can now see time flow like a river in front of me. I’m resonating the most positive auras and essences out to you all on a Saturday. Keep it breezy. 💨 💃 🏖

Men marry their second mom.

My gf and I have been dating for almost a year and are thinking of moving in together. From your experience, would you consider that too soon? How long did you and your partner date before living together?

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Her loss 🔥🔥🔥

My generation is really f#cked up. It's impossible to save any money. And it's not that I don't want to. Is simply because I can't do it, by the end of the month there is really not much left. I'm exhausted of working to just pay bills 😔 Sometimes I wonder if those people that quit everything to have a better life are really the smarts one.

Has anyone else who had omicron experienced their sore throat returning? I’ve had no symptoms for a week and a half, and then just woke up with that same awful scratchy throat 🥴

I just saw someone ask in a different bowl if 2 years in public accounting is equivalent to 4 years in industry. The kool aid is strongggggg.

Pic thread! Pic thread!! Pic thread damn it!!! Come on everyone!!!!!

I’m turning 40 this year. While I don’t want a mid life crisis (although getting a bike or sports car again do sound nice…), I do look forward to when I’ll just not give a f*ck. Worrying what others think is incredibly draining.

Why is it anytime you hear a term like “3rd wave feminism” bandied about negatively like the Critical Race Theory boogeyman it’s from some bro incel who thinks society changed for the worst because people tweeted something they disagree with? Feels like the white patriarchy is going to burn everything down before relenting.

I stretched my limits being a demisexual in a way this weekend and literally talked myself out of sex! #WordBurn

Been questioning my friendship with a group of girls. Really close to them before (been hanging out since high school), but all they do is gossip, shop, and talk about superficial things, and I just started realizing how our interests are different too in the recent years. When is it time to drop the friendship if you feel like the odd one out?

Is it considered mental abuse if your partner is depressed and instead of getting help or addressing the issue, they let their emotions out on you and expect you to change and be their therapist? Causing you to have severe mental health issues and lowering your own mental health?

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships. I have friends of mine saying this all the time, and I have just thought it’s so cringe and always want to say my thoughts on it but always decide to hold back. However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.

With Spotify Wraps everywhere, I have a question about music: What speed do you listen to music at? I generally do 3x, but will slow it down to 2x if I enjoy the artist.
