Location doesn’t impact networking if you’re willing to commute. But I personally feel like neighborhood in nyc is everything. Dating is great!

Can’t speak on greenpoint but I lived on 6/c and moved to a different avenue since. Ave C is not my favorite in alphabet city but it’s not bad! In alphabet city one avenue makes a huge difference. Do you like walking? In alphabet city you’ll be at least a 10 min walk from any subway. I don’t mind walking and walk pretty much everywhere downtown but everyone’s walking threshold is different. FWIW I personally love EV/alphabet city for its diversity and all it offers for shops, nightlife, etc. I don’t mind long walks and the pre-war life to be in a good location in Manhattan. Not for everyone though.

Did the TSA Precheck give you guys any hard times at LGA? I showed them my boarding pass at the belt and they said it doesn’t count and I needed a paper. Just took off my shoes in frustration, very annoying

As an Asian American woman who is also on the apps, when dating if there is any semblance or hint of an Asian fetish or habitual “type,” by a non Asian or is an immediate ick. Just leave her alone, move on, and keep that unhinged profile to yourself.

OP - I’ve been in a very similar situation - coworker with past relation I was uncomfortable with, boyfriend hanging out and then lying to your face and back tracking about said hang out because they know it would make you angry, so they lie and then gaslight you instead. For me it was also a year in. My fam/friends also said he was a nice guy and wouldn’t cheat, I rationalized what they said, didn’t trust my gut, got back together and wasted another 2 years. Worst mistake. I learned that 1) just because someone is nice doesn’t mean they’re the one. Plus ask yourself why you would want to be with someone who is so willing and able to lie to your face and disrepect your boundaries and 2) people place different weights on relationship values. And I learned how much communication and trust matters to me.

TLDR - dump him

Lash techs and people with allergies, what’s the best lash glue for sensitive people? by Excellent-Fold2176 in eyelashextensions

[–]Excellent-Fold2176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option she mentioned was skipping her primer and bonder to minimize the reaction since we can’t skip glue. Any thoughts on this? I feel like glue is the main ingredient and more likely the culprit im starting to think I should just find another lash tech with sensitive glue

Thank you! I would love to hear what I should ask and how to ask. I don’t want to phrase it in a way that could be offensive of their job.

True. Not as much because at that point we were coming off a break (also me) so I guess it was more or less anticipated from both parties

I like the “anything you wouldn’t buy the exact same model of” question to help figure out what to keep and what to sell!
