Where is it easier to make some wlw friends, Austin, TX or Miami, FL? 👀

Salam everyone, wanted to ask if anyone here is in a relationship with someone close to their age and how they’re navigating it for ex a guy being 22 and the girl being 24. I’ve been advised to find someone 3-4 yrs younger than me because that would make things smoother and there would be less fighting. What are your thoughts? Also I’m Arab and will most likely be marrying an Arab girl if that changes anything.

I used to be a special Ed teacher and changed careers to an executive assistant at BMO after facing major burnout from teaching. Now that I’m a first time mom, i really want to work part time or even .75, but I do not want to go back to teaching right now. I am thinking of tutoring- any suggestions on private tutoring vs. tutoring companies?

Dating my boyfriend for over a year now. Found out that he wasn’t over his ex for the first couple months that we were dating (we were not exclusive). Now his lack of commitment at the time makes sense. Kinda feel weird that as I was falling for him he was just using me as a distraction.

How do you pay your parents back for everything they’ve done for you if you were fortunate enough that they could support you through life? School, mental break downs, etc. I’m just starting my career and don’t have much $$ saved yet but I feel like they are the ones who need support now. And how do you pay it forward?

I’m looking for some insight into the market for recent grads. It’s been a while since I’ve been a recent grad myself but my younger sibling just graduated from an ivy cum laude and has had no luck in her search for over 4 months. Is this normal? (For more context, she has a degree in economics, about a year of internship experience and is looking for a financial analyst role or something similar. She’s applied to roles through company sites, handshake, LinkedIn, indeed…)

How long do you cry after breakup? I cried for one night, and felt weird day after. Now I feel like I am way better, maybe it was because I know it had to happen (even if I was the one who got broken up with) and probably I see that more than hurt of relationship ending

Quick question, I’m starting timed intercourse with medication. I received my ovidrel injextion 4 months ago. It’s been in the fridge. I’m anticipating a potential trigger today or tomorrow (measured today with one 17mm and one 18mm) waiting to hear back on my hormone levels. I assume the fridge was a good call as that’s what the pharmacy reccomended. Should I take it out now? Leave it in till last minute? Thoughts comments?

I think buying a tux is a good investment and will pay for itself with the amount of times I use it (over renting one each time). Thoughts?

Just curious of the cis guys who all is painting their nails? I am seeing more and more guys with manicured/long finger nails. People should do what they want, but this is a turn off for me. I met a guy for coffee from Tinder this week and he seemed sexy in his pics etc, but then had 💅🏻 long multicolored manicured nails. Said he goes weekly to a salon. To be fair, he probably thinks my trimmed, unpainted nails aren’t sexy. I suppose if it becomes the norm I will have to do it too :(
