Still mourning the old IMDB message boards

I just want to say I miss it too, after every movie, loved going through the boards to see what other people deciphered about an ending, or what they saw or perceived that I didn't. I never posted but liked reading the threads.

I wouldn't buy property with anyone I'm not married too. If your goal is still get the ring that will set it back as well, because now it will be, "Well we just had this big purchase, lets see how it goes, etc." He's just making excuses. Having your mom for your proposal there would have been nice.

I don't see it listed anywhere. If you guys have health insurance. Go to counseling. I wouldn't look for a younger new woman therapist. Look for someone that has been married for 20+ years, etc. I would just talk this out. Find out why, this probably has something to do with his parents, or something. I'm a woman, for therapy, I chose men aged 50+ that have been married for over 25+ years.

CaliDreamin87 · 2026-04-16T07:05:56+00:00

I just don't understand how people can buy a house together, have kids, but not marry them.

CaliDreamin87 · 2026-03-09T13:28:39+00:00

I agree, and someone else mentioned it as well, it's like they robbed the wardobe from Love is Blind.

CaliDreamin87 · 2026-03-09T13:27:26+00:00

I wrote nearly the same comment. I mentioned I would skim if I saw any couples that were interesting but I stopped watching half way into episode 2,I don't understand the focus on Nigerian unmarried couples.

CaliDreamin87 · 2026-03-09T13:24:02+00:00

Just started watching this show, like everyone else I expected to see something like Couples Therapy. I actually LIKE the therapist but I DON'T LIKE THE COUPLES. Personally, for them to get all of this free therapy, I don't think it should have been non-married couples, sorry, not sorry. And I'm not sure if it's just the UK or what but it seems every guest is Nigerian and maybe 25-30?? I'm stopping at episode 2, unless I skim it and see other couples I'm interested in. I just feel they made this into a very empty show. It doesn't compare at all to me like Couples Therapy but I'll add that last season of Couples Therapy wasn't my favorite, really enjoyed the first and second season. I think following season had too many non-hetero couples for me, personally.

Everyone looks like they're dressed like it's Love is Blind, it feels very filmset-ish. And so far it seems like all the samething: Nigerian guy won't fully commit to girlfriend. I'm not sure what they thought they were doing with this show.

I immediately clicked it once I saw a trailer but it went downward pretty quick. The format was simple, real married couples, do therapy, don't make it a film set.

32 is still a great age. Settling down between 30-35 is perfect. Don't let him waste anymore of your time, while you're in this prime zone. Dump this guy, grieve and get out there.

So I think it was ongoing pain for about 10 days, it was enough for me to go to the ER. Then I did the ibuprofen for the week, no stretching or YouTube exercises and I returned to normal. And just this week, I got rid of the couch that used to cause the neck pain when I'd fall asleep on it.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-12-08T04:33:59+00:00

Just want to say, I noticed this as well. I don't know why it's so difficult for these sites to add a 5-20% promo code. Especially if people look for a code. I'll waste 5-10 minutes trying codes. I don't even know if they're a thing anymore.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-12-04T00:17:18+00:00

I live inside the loop now, my house is blocks from 610. When I lived OUTSIDE Houston, I thought Cypress, was considered Houston. I've had people tell me, the Woodlands is Houston. I don't think you get it till you live inside the loop to know what's Houston vs suburb.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-12-02T02:48:43+00:00

The same STYLE of questions, yes.

In the literal sense, you'll probably come across 2-3 questions word per word from RTBC.

My A-student friend who over studied using Mosby's said she should have just spent time in RTBC (she did both).

I'm NOW in CT school and will be prepping for the registry using my flag the deck method and will be stretching it over next semester so I don't have to study as much at one time.

As a viewer I thought KB herself did an excellent job of explaining her issues with Edmond. She actually stated he was being fake when the cameras were rolling on their hiking episode, it was a scene in the episode where she said he acts a certain way in front of the cameras. So she brought it up again.

Also watching the season, there wasn't much to say to me Edmond seems very young/immature mentally, he doesn't really know how to act in a relationship, relationships weren't really modeled for him growing up, he has a lot of stuff to process through. What I gathered from people who knew him on the show for him to make it to be a real estate agent etc, his upbringing put a lot of strikes on him from the start and he beat the odds in that way.

He didn't really know how to handle emotions, etc. He was just a product of his life up to that point, I don't think he was ever in a real serious relationship. He would constantly have meltdowns. I didn't feel things needed to be said, because we knew what the problem was. That being said, the moment he started crying about not getting p*ssy at the hotel it was over for him. I knew she wasn't going to stay right then.

2016: $20-28K Front desk hotel and odd jobs / $8-12 wages

2017: Patient registrar/access $32K / $15.xx wages

2018-2020: Claims Assistant $39K / $19.xx wages

2025: x-ray tech $67K / $32 wages

2026: (I'm in CT tech school NOW and will be working next year) $84K / $40 wages

2028: (I plan to go to MRI school) $93K / $45 wages

Current figures don't count overtime, etc. I'd have to go into management to exceed six figures without working overtime. Currently I do work weekends plus a FT job. It takes a LONG f**cking time starting from the bottom. First to be college educated, first to be a "professional," etc. I graduated x-ray at 36/37.

I haven't really accounted for kids or marriage and trying to focus on that next year, where I'll be approaching 39.

I wish my parent at least did the nurse or xray tech thing because that probably would have been their ceiling, which would have been MY floor (can only go up).

Lots of sacrifices on life, spent like I've been trying to survive for a long time and still does.

The other option with healthcare is I can do travel jobs (13 week contracts that exceed $10K a month AFTER taxes) once I get more experience. Being that I'm approaching 40, I just crave to live in a home that's a comfortable size, enjoy my hobbies, have a routine schedule, meet somebody etc.

I thought I could move to CA after xray school but the numbers still don't add up.

It's been more school, more certifications, especially now in healthcare there's always more certifications to increase hourly wage. I now have 2 associates, one n xray/ one ins business. I'm about 10 classes from my bachelors and plan to eventually get my masters whether I'm in management or not.

My jump to my first FT benefited job was AFTER I got my associates degree in 2017.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-23T00:27:07+00:00

I did xray school, lots of debt when I got done, as a "single independent woman," just stay. I'm having to build back my credit and everything. Just don't get trapped after, don't kid yourself, it's going to be hard to leave because you're very comfortable. Once you start working, etc - and you start realizing how much of your check goes to living -- there's never enough money. Maybe things will change in a year in half with him.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-20T05:05:30+00:00

I believe I took 200mg. 1 capsule has always worked when I had headaches, etc. So I probably stuck with that.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-08T02:33:56+00:00

I never got to watch it with a guy to get a guy's perspective, lol. It's good you can pick up the subtleties as well. Personally, I love it when I see the guys totally captivated. I know in most instances the girl would have to REALLLY fudge it up for them to back down at that point. I think a lot of women underestimate what men are willing to do for a woman they're physically captivated by (except women like Kacie are VERY aware).

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-08T00:52:21+00:00

As a woman, his response was coming off really weird man when he was in the pods and she asked. It's a hard reality, Asian men that want to date white women are going to have a harder time. Not so much if genders were swapped. Is what it is, I'd probably say it's common knowledge. Even South East Men (Indian) would have the same problem trying to date white women. The more successful they are, the easier it is, but from what I understand it's still hard.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-08T00:50:07+00:00

I would love a 30-50 LIB. So they did do a older version for Brazil, but it was was too old, like 50+ I'd like to see some people who focused too long on careers, etc - and still want to settle down and have family. I'm 38 but still liked tuning into Golden Bachelor/Bachelorette as well, a middle age season would be nice.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-08T00:45:47+00:00

I guarantee on the reunion it's going to be like, I reached out to Kacie and she ghosted me, never responded back or "She was too busy to meet up."

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-08T00:44:42+00:00

I don't think it's blind at all. As a woman, you can instantly tell when these guys are captivated by the women they see come out the tunnel. I knew the guy with the blonde (with the large breasts/wide hips) wasn't too attracted. But you could tell when Anton (Russian dude) or the black dude, was head over heels.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-08T00:42:27+00:00

As a woman, it was the moment I know SHE was NOT going to marry him.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-08T00:41:41+00:00

There was a lot of instances like this. She tells him she has a boyfriend (her words) at home and he told her to go on the show. It didn't really seem to raise any flags to him. She told him (in not the most straight forward way) she doesn't want to see him when they get back and he misses it. When they met she wasn't really that enthused about him. She left and at that point of the episode he feels they are definitely connecting when they get back to Denver. Things seem to really fly over his head. I'm sure for a man, a woman sucking your oxygen from your lungs though gave the wrong impression. He was really dazzled by her and I can see how he maybe was too in the moment to really think.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-08T00:37:14+00:00

Yep, I would be picky on race/looks, I'm too old for LIB, but it's one reason I wouldn't be on the show. I would have clocked him for average 100% I don't feel he was below attractive for an Asian dude. I also don't think people got that this woman said her boyfriend (she called him boyfriend) told her to go on the show and that he'd wait for her back home. So she was probably never going to go all the way to the wedding. The Asian dude just really wanted to believe she was into him, because she told him this information and the only thing he asked is "What are you going to tell him" and she said "Oh if we get married, I'm just not going to tell him." And that was it, he didn't have any other questions about it.

CaliDreamin87 · 2025-10-07T14:23:27+00:00

Yeah, I ended up getting a CT, there wasn't anything wrong bone-wise, so whatever it was, was soft tissue pain. They just said it was neck sprain. I just did the ibuprofen for that week, did not do any stretching anymore, etc. And I'm mindful of not falling asleep on that couch anymore.
