AH that’s amazing SA1! May Allah bless you & your family

Sure why not? I am down for trying anything to meet a nice Muslim man, given that I'm now in my 30s and I want to start a family as soon as possible. I don't see the harm in giving it a shot, what's the worst that could happen

True, I will try! Pray you find the right spouse for you M1!

I’d give almost anything a try once and go for fun, zero expectations-that way, I won’t set myself up for disappointment

Good mindset! I will try

I was opposed at first but I think I would be open to trying it

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts.

I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)

Any advice for understanding whether sourcing would be a good match for your personality/innate skill set?

Im pretty extroverted, I have been told in reviews that I peak in verbal communication, and I have really loved conducting expert interviews in DDs.

However, I’ve worked some sales jobs in the past, and I had a hard time with the variability and staying positive bad times when nothing is sticking.
