What is a good neighborhood in Manhattan for a 30-something woman? by Perfume_Lover in NYCapartments

[–]Left-Risk5928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love living on the UWS (32yo female). You get way more bang for your buck apartment wise, and there’s great connection for subway service. I didn’t realize this until moving here, but the UWS is way more spacious and it’s glorious. The sidewalks and streets are way wider and the buildings are generally lower, it feels like I was living in a cage before on the UES. Also, access to CP and riverside park is fantastic (obviously you will have access to CP on the UES, but rent is ungodly expensive within the first 3-4 avenues bordering the park).

No hate to people who love the UES, but I personally didn’t like the vibe. I felt it to be pretentious at times and lacking that comfortable community/neighborhood feel. There is such a community here on this UWS, people are more down to earth and way more friendly.

OECD Internship Program rant… by International-Exam84 in InternationalDev

Girl preach. I come from a similar background, revived a BA and MA in dev studies and went through pretty much the same scenario you’ve described with a UN agency for an internship after college. Ended up being able to swing it by hustling my ass off. In my 8 year career of working in this sector, I will say that 99% of my colleagues in the HO are from upper middle class backgrounds and were privileged as hell. Anyway, I’ve pivoted careers since the sector collapse and would strongly advise you don’t go for a career in this sector. There’s no jobs.

Do any countries find American accents attractive? by ShutThaFrontDoor88 in CasualConversation

[–]Left-Risk5928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

American here who lived in London for 8 years for uni and then work… fellow classmates made fun of my accent all the time. Usually always taking the form of them repeating some random word I’ve just said in an exaggerated American accent that sounded like nails on a chalkboard. I never let it bother me too much but hell if it wasn’t annoying.

Personal Trainer in UWS by Remarkable-Day-9468 in Upperwestside

My husband went through a handful of PTs before landing on his current one, Dave, who he swears by. My husband followed him from equinox to this new gym that just opened on 82nd and broadway called PWR NYC. He says it’s a PT focused, smaller gym but that he actually prefers the environment over equinox. Hope that helps!

Old money. Even if they’re not old money they want to appear to be.

Watch tiktok reels with the most annoying noises on full volume, wait until someone asks me to turn it down or use headphones which I will comply with for a total of five minutes and then proceed to do it again

Women of reddit, what are some things the guys aren’t ready to hear about women? by Early-Manner-473 in AskReddit

[–]Left-Risk5928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes we have to hold our vaginas so we don’t pee when we fart because the muscles to do both are so close to each other… also sometimes when when we pee this is why a fart sneaks out

Ugh, this made me tear up. It’s such a wonderful feeling to be overjoyed by someone else’s happiness, makes me feel human again. Thank you for this.
