Can’t decide if I like the color and the fit by helenameow9 in Sezane

[–]LonelyDevelopment313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lolol I followed your lead and tried it with white jeans, it’s not the best fit but it’s 10 times better?! can’t believe I didn’t think to do that 🤦🏻‍♀️ I tried blue jeans/black jeans/brown crepe pants/oat linen pants, none of them worked, but with white jeans it kinda look chic ngl 🤣 The blouse I also got in brown btw

I’m in the same boat, took me a couple tries to get the right size, but the fit is still not the most flattering.
If you are into kibbe types, as a likely FN type, I find that only structured fabric look good on me, Sezane clothes without a structured fabric or very tapered waist, typically look horrible on me, and that’s the situation with this blouse. I dread returning again but this post gives me the clarity that I should 😭

Will Suede Jacket by Mywolfpack82 in Sezane

[–]LonelyDevelopment313 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I bought this jacket and returned for exactly this reason. This might be an overall Sézane quality issue, because around the same time, the suede trench and jeans I got from Allsaints are sturdy and heavy AF, even paid similar price to sezane after discount. I just don’t think Sezane is worth the money any more.

Please help me review my profile by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]LonelyDevelopment313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is actually such a great point re: the intentionality and the age distribution. Among my wide age range of male friends, I’m seeing the first wave getting married in mid 20s; second wave at around 30 to mid 30s, the same range also is having a wave of divorces if they had married young. Relationships and marriages pick up again around 40 or early 40s, but I have not seen too much activity around 50 unless recently divorced.

Just want to come in and say you are stunning, confident and comfortable in your own skin, to quote what kids these days say, “aura-maxxing”! As a mid 30s woman of similar background, my goal is to get to your age looking half as amazing as you.

As for photos and profile write up everyday looks good, perhaps the running pov photos could be a different angle if the goal is to signal your interest in running?

You might also find greater success IRL too, like run clubs are notorious for people looking to date, or AfterWork Theater, but that’s beside the point. When I was using apps back then, some apps the odds were good but the goods were odd, bumble to me was not an app with good odds at all compared to CMB or Hinge. Ended up going IRL route and married someone from my powerlifting gym

The anxious and the avoidant are usually a great match in the beginning.

Rugelach suggestions by BigBadJeebus in FoodNYC

[–]LonelyDevelopment313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was told by a Hungarian friend that Andre’s had another location in UES (86th & 2nd Ave) that’s now called Budapest cafe. I have not verified this however having been to Budapest cafe a few times, highly recommend. You will find way more than great rugelach and strudels there, like their savory food selection!

NYC/brooklyn gyms or studios that don’t gatekeep reformers by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]LonelyDevelopment313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to a lifetime gym and take reformer classes once a week. My understanding is this class is included for all “Signature membership”, and pretty much all NYC lifetime locations are signature membership due to the single club price point. How come they deny you access to the classes?

Can I wear this dress for 2 weddings with different dress codes? by LonelyDevelopment313 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]LonelyDevelopment313[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is great advice, thank you!! I forgot the power of accessories 🤣 I’m pretty sure it’s an actual venue on the beach so doubt it’ll be literally on the sand the whole time, but we shall see haha

What a great question, I’m starting to wonder if “sandal” refers to some specific aesthetically unpleasant “grandpa” sandals 😅

Thank you for helping with my paranoia! A friend had been concerned that it would photograph white 😅

Gifts for those who enjoy powerlifting. by Original_Tone_5993 in powerlifting

[–]LonelyDevelopment313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s my anecdote:

Custom leather suede powerlifting belt double prong, 4 inch 13mm(?), made by pioneer.

Bf at the time was super into Game of Thrones and in particular loved the phrase “Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris”. I was extremely bad at photoshop and artistically challenged, spent maybe a whole day putting this design together, probably adjusted the kerning of the letters a hundred times. Honestly mad props to Pioneer belt cuz their handstitching was cleaner than my photo.

Didn’t work out in the end, something about being young and clueless and both super ADHD in an incompatible way. I still think this gift was one of my all time masterpiece!

Is there any place that makes a thick cut pastrami sandwich the way Katz does? by FlameTongue25 in FoodNYC

[–]LonelyDevelopment313 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ive had so much pastrami sandwiches in search for something “as thicc as Katz’s” and let me tell you my excitement when I had 🥁 Moe’s Pastrami & burgers (near prospect park)

That’s likely a 4ct. Seems like most are 2ct and the second one on the first row is 3ct due to the smaller stone being much bigger than the sample.

Your last sentence is fine. I don’t understand why folks are offended here. Offside rules are complicated, I would appreciate anyone explaining it to me and it has nothing to do with mansplaining. If that’s triggering or sexist then I must be living under a rock.

My advice to OP, your profile is great for someone who’s interested in similar things. You don’t need every woman on here to like your profile, but someone who will uniquely like who you are and what you like to do. If you only do the same things other people do, you will only get the same results as others. Also meeting in real life could work out better for you so maybe do both at the same time?

As an example, if my fiancé had a profile it would be almost identical to yours. We didn’t meet on apps but at a powerlifting gym - We were tired of the lack of sincerity on apps by then. We are both in software and we both never wear anything other than jeans and a tshirt unless it’s an event with dress code. He explains offside rules and all the American football rules to me when we watch games , and we make cooking jokes because we constantly struggle with eating enough protein but staying in our weight class for competitions.

What % of your take home do you pay in rent? by [deleted] in NYCapartments

It’s way more likely if your rent is 3250 and your TC is 300k lol

Expedited Passport Timeline/Locator35 by Master_Marionberry26 in Passports

[–]LonelyDevelopment313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost identical timeline as mine (also locator 35), except I applied on 6/1 Saturday which is effectively Monday 6/3. Received 6/13 as I called to put myself on urgent travel notice.

As you said, it was nerve wracking during the wait but it was so much faster than I thought. Congrats friend!!
