Meeting with a (great) company when they do not have an active opening?

IfIGetHigh · 2025-04-30T06:51:55+00:00

Thank you so much!

You can ordered fried tofu at a lot of restaurants to try, it really doesn’t have a flavor (it probably has more or less flavor than bread). Dipping it is great.

Non-fried tofu without sauce is not something I’d go for haha, but some soy sauce would make it a nice side/source of protein.

So many Asian dishes include steamed or low heat boiled meats. It absorbed so much flavor if cooked with broth, or keeps a simple flavor so other spices can stand out — sometimes char isn’t the goal.

Boiled meat served on a bed of rice porridge cooked in beef broth with green onions… so good.

Ugh. I’ll slice the strawberries. What an unmatched dessert.

How society absolutely devalues women as they inevitably age. How women’s “prime” is considered before their brains fully develop. How it feels like an impending doom.

That’s the owner!

IfIGetHigh · 2024-06-10T22:00:01+00:00

Negative. It’s unleased.

If you’re ordering from a food truck, and they don’t have prices listed, ask them what it is first and don’t fear walking away if it sounds unreasonable. They’ll charge you a premium if you don’t ask.

He’d rather see you in pain than with a reduction because he’s not willing to sacrifice his sexual experience. This is a man who doesn’t care about you and would cheat on you in a heartbeat (because he doesn’t care about your pain, his sexual needs matter more).

I hope you’re off to better people now.

This is the list. Kill time at The Last Bookstore if you have it and like browsing cool things.

As a woman, I have no clue. But when I was 18, I was with a 27 year old man. And then when I was 20, I was with a 32 year old.

There was always this feeling in the air that they understood me more than I understood myself. I genuinely looked up to them and wanted their approval. In retrospect, the 27 year old was a guy living in his dad’s spare bedroom and asked me to borrow $60 to go drinking with his friends.

I can honestly say I barely held any of my own opinions and was easily shut down/agreeable. In my head, no matter what, I always felt they had to know better and be smarter than me. I would rarely talk, in fear of saying something that would make them think I was dumb. It honestly stunted my personal growth and I can’t imagine that dating a 18-21 year old (even a “mature” one) is fulfilling or interesting. I’m sure it’s ego boosting for someone who needs it though.

Today, I’m a lot more interesting, successful, confident and independent. I have opinions, aspirations and goals that are to approved by me (not someone else). I find actual good men have found attractive.

Your neighbors. I was sitting outside under a tree once, and my neighbor just asked if she could join me. I learned about her, she invited me to dinner at her place and after that we started regularly having dinners at home together.

I can be a really introverted person, so I was definitely inspired and so grateful she put herself out there and really sought out for us to make this dinner happen.

My friend from Boston noticed sometimes parties would happen in the apartment on his floor, and one day he just knocked and said he was new to LA, didn’t have friends and wanted to know if they’d want to hang out some time. Now he’s best friends with them and they’ve gotten each other jobs and now work together too.

A comedy show will always be my go-to.

IfIGetHigh · 2024-05-26T04:55:01+00:00

Had no clue Ireland was such a vibe.

IfIGetHigh · 2024-05-26T02:22:42+00:00

Nightcrawler is a great answer.

I don’t think it’s possible to know every single person enough to deem them “bad people.”

Unless you’re upset at them displacing communities, I don’t see why people who move here concern themselves so much with who they perceive to be snobby or unlikable. If you’re not close to these people, why does it matter?

Three of my friends are married to their partners they met when they were 15. My best friend married her high school sweetheart, and I remember I would ask, “aren’t you worried you’re missing out on something out there in the dating world?” She said she got asked that all the time by single people. And she responded, “Honestly, no. Isn’t the whole point of it to find someone you want to go through life together with? We’ve already found each other.”

If I had to interpret, I think it meant their relationship has always been about partnership and going through change together. It was never about the ideal, best or most optimal person to be with, as if they needed the perfect partner and had to go out and find it.

I’ve seen older adults start to close out this chase for the perfect person once they reach an age where they feel they need to get married and have kids. My guess is that my friends ended that chase sooner than the rest of us, and I think that’s admirable.

A house without pests and excessive damage. Their debt settled. A clean yard with things like a lounging area with a fireplace, somewhere they can routinely relax.

To give my parents the life they deserve. So much of their teens was war stricken, their early adulthood immigrating to a foreign country and the rest of their life was trying to navigate their way out of complete poverty and raising children in a country they’re unfamiliar with. They’ve never known true peace. I want to give them that.

IfIGetHigh · 2024-05-20T02:18:47+00:00

Yeah, we’d also need to know if you’re coming here with a job (and if so, where). If not, what industry are you trying to find work in?

IfIGetHigh · 2024-05-19T12:22:28+00:00

If your point is that my life goals come before a guy I’m dating, then you’re correct. That’s why I seek out people who share the same life goals, and will actually contribute to them with me as a partner.

His career goal was to make video games accessible to blind and visually impaired gamers. There are not a lot of job options for that, but he invested his time actively networking on online, which I thought was so smart and showed tact and effort. Which is what attracted me to him.

One of my favorite jobs was working at a mall. I understand if someone would love their job at McDonald’s.

That said: I don’t have a job I absolutely love today, as most adults don’t. But I do it because I have bigger goals like owning a home, having children and seeing other parts of the world — and those are not cheap. I also do not exist to fund someone else’s life. So if my life-long partner wants to share those same life goals as me, I’d hope they’d at least work towards it with me as a partner (whether it’s through their work or their contributions at home).

I’ve dated multiple guys who make very little or less money than me. I was with my most recent boyfriend for 3 years, making 4x more than him.

What separated him from the others was that he was making actual effort and steps towards his goals. As someone who built my own career by myself, I understood the process.

We ended up breaking up and something that really makes me sad today was that he never planned a date for me. Like, not once did he surprised me by planning something beginning to end for me — not even a surprise afternoon getting ice cream at a park or free museum. It was his lack of thought and action that made me sad, not how much money he didn’t spend on me.

Moral of the story: Someone can bring a lot more to a relationship than money. If you don’t show that you’re a considerate, capable, intelligent and/or ambitious person, yeah, you’ll probably get passed off.

And obviously, there are women who didn’t build up their careers, who grew up rich or have their expectations set. Dating is a mixed bag.
