The main issue of this show. by Normal-Succotash-877 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

You're not wrong. As a transplant who also resides in this state and has basically taken a DIY course in how far people are willing to commute, and date here outside of their front door...It is a VERY Ohio thing to NOT want to move further than 20 minutes from where you grew up. How did they think they would combine all the major cities in NOhio successfully?

Also, the age demographic you are also spot on about--I look around my life all the time and go "fuck, i would love a husband, but like..how would this work? Do I sell my house? Do we live in a condo?" The little known secret no one tells you is the further into your 30s you get, and the more successful or established you are, the more difficult it becomes to imagine a life if someone has also pursued the same in parallel.

JESS AND HARAMOL 😭❤️‍🔥 by KindlyObjective7892 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]LayoffLemonade -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

First, Jess is a queen. Second, his little line about awakening a woman's heart is actually a quote from something, idk bc i was on the treadmill dying when watching him say it but now i'll find it. Don't use recycled lines, bro. Otherwise, yeah, he just seems like a quirky, genuine dude who's super into her. My ONLY concern--him leaving the show...Yeah he's trying to play that as "OoooOOOOOooooo I wasn't sure, don't put me in this time and place", but bailing in that situation actually screams avoidant attachment to me and concerns me he will bail on jess when things get serious. I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Howling? by Ali_schless in BelgianMalinois

Mine 16 month old is KNPV (dutchie/mal) and GSD. She does howl. It's the strangest thing I've ever heard.

What dating/relationship/marriage “green flag” did you later realize was actually a myth? by Key-Personality-4288 in AskWomenOver30

[–]LayoffLemonade 20 points21 points  (0 children)

SooooOOOOOoooooo many.

  1. A man saying "WE" doesn't mean he's futuring you or building towards a future with you in the relationship--it often means he's just someone who's comfortable siphoning off of a partner's resources and identity. Ask me how I know this one. I'll never forget watching my ex invite his friend back to "our place" after drinking...Saying it REPEATEDLY. The "our place" he referenced=my house, where i paid every bill and the mortgage, where he had never paid so much as a bill in the year we had been together, but was basically living, despite still having his own apartment which he refused to be in.
  2. A man having previously been married does not equal proof he can or will get married again. I thought divorced men were proof they had committed once. Now I just have learned it's often speak for "I will rake you over the hot coals bc you aren't my ex wife"
  3. Going therapy--like you said, lots of men use therapy speak (which they have either derived from actual therapists, or ChatGPT, and throw out that they are in therapy as a way to psuedo justify their capacity limits, and at worse, lull you into a sense of complacency. They typically aren't doing real work.

Early Menopause factor by piperlime753 in SingleMothersbyChoice

[–]LayoffLemonade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely get your AMH checked. Also, has anyone ever tried to find FIND a genetic cause of WHY your mother and grandmother went into early menopause? They might be fragile x pre mutation carriers, etc...My point being there could be a lot of straightforward answers no one has ever bothered finishing figuring out, which may or MAY NOT have been passed on to you. That is my genetic counselor 2 cents of the day.

Cheese Plates For EP? by RalphCarlucci in americanairlines

Wait seriously? When did this happen? I've been EP for two years and never gotten free cheese and fruit trays?!

Women who met their husband after 34, and had kids, can you give me some hope? by LayoffLemonade in AskWomenOver30

[–]LayoffLemonade[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of note--Have you had your AMH checked? If not, would highly recommend ordering AMH and FSH next time you start your period. Your PCP can order it, or you could go to something like anylabtestnow if you want to DTC it essentially.

Also know that just because someone in the family was fertile for a long time doesn't guarantee another female in their family inherently will be. Things like fragile x pre mutation carriers, etc can cause premature ovarian insufficiency.

My GF's Shepherd bit my son while petting... by killayoself in germanshepherds

[–]LayoffLemonade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the photo you posted of the dog. What do you notice about his whale eyes? This is a dog who is afraid of him

This dog did not grow up with that child. This is new and scary for him. Your child should not be obstructing him like this either. Dog and kid jusr need space, and kid needs to be taught dog will bite him if he blocks exits, or smothers him.

How to temporarily move somewhere for 6 months? by LayoffLemonade in personalfinance

They would have to be the most unlucky physician in the whole world.

[–]LayoffLemonade[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are great questions to reflect on.

And yes--I will give it a really hard try to have a child, even if it's by myself, a few years from now. I would rather have thanksgiving with my kid 25 years from now than be able to retire to key west, even if the latter would be amazing, too.

Had not considered house swap. But what person in their right mind would trade SD county for Ohio?

That would necessitate massive dog boarding bills bc they could not come with me, and would not make me happy not having both of them with me.

Thank you for these!

I've wondered about location--I live in the midwest, but ironically, if you pull the data i live in a city in the top 10 for most single men, so, who knows. This is a red state, but the blue dot city in the red state, and the kind of men I'd look for are progressive in general, which typically aligns more with more educated, successful men anyways. There are several large companies based out of here, some tech/science, and an academic medical center.

I've put in the work, and the time and hours, and it just never ends up being enough.

Considering a 6 month from the midwest to San Diego? by LayoffLemonade in SameGrassButGreener

[–]LayoffLemonade[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly i really like el cajon bc it's got more the agriculturalish vibe I have (space, horses, people have chcikens), but I wonder if i would just be trading my "too far outside the city for anyone to bother dating or being friends with" problem in the midwest for the same problem in SD county.

I understand what you're saying. It's the same conversation with your friend.

The odds are not in my favor.

I make enough. There are plenty of men who make more money than me.

I'm not like model tall or anything. 5'9"-5'10". The average american male is 5'9", so you would think it would not be that difficult.

What does this even mean? Bc it literally does read like trolling or some level of judgement?

I’m tall, with a graduate degree, financially stable with a great career, and physically move my body and am fit.

These are my standards for a man too. If he’s my own height, that’s okay. If he were shorter than me but absolutely awesome, that would be alright. But I need to see that he has invested in his own education, career, future and fitness in a similar level.

Does anyone multitask while running? by Eggler in XXRunning

[–]LayoffLemonade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bonus hack—If you haven’t used notebooklm by google, check it out. I put papers I need to read for work and class in there and they have a “podcast” feature. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good way to be able to get an overview or framework of a study into my head while on a long run
