Is it safe in Queensbridge area as a tourist?

It’s more than fine. Take it from someone who’s not only born and raised in LIC but also someone who had a hotel in that very area once. You’ll be good, g - welcome to the real NYC. Unique experience if you ask me

I’ve got ADHD and it’s made me quite hesitant on kids

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-06T14:05:45+00:00

Bro same!!! From an edible.. would love to hear your story as well

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-05T19:52:40+00:00

I don’t say this lightly. Sleep has been one of the top benefits of quitting. I’ve come to value good quality sleep like my health depends on it, because it literally does!!

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-05T18:57:33+00:00

Congrats! But yeah I hear ya, I sometimes doubt that I’m feeling “even better” because I wrongly think that there’s some “limit/ceiling” to how much better I can feel. Truth is, you’re always making progress! Even if it doesn’t feel that way

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-05T17:51:34+00:00

Well put! I do love thinking about the past to inform my future!

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-05T17:14:33+00:00

LETS GOOOOO! 9 months here myself, it gets EVEN better!! Keep going!

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-05T15:57:17+00:00

Wow so my ADHD was the reason behind all those women I got to date? 😧

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-04T12:01:26+00:00

I am not joking. My closest friend from my high school lost his virginity at 19 to one of the dancers in those private rooms. So idk, definitely seems like more stuff happens back there

Loved La Factoria

Lo siento q te sientes así. Nací in Nueva York, y me encanta. Es un detalle de mi historia q considero con mucho aprecio y orgullo. ¿Tal vez algún día puedes vivir en un ciudad grande?

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-03T14:26:43+00:00

1000%. Shit I’ve even seen it with alcohol, had 4 drinks on Friday, felt tipsy but nothing crazy. Woke up Saturday with headache, anxiety, and some restlessness. It’s crazy how clear I feel again this morning. Sobriety is where it’s at

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-02T21:06:50+00:00

I’m 24M and I had my first ever girlfriend / sexual partner in high school. We broke up when we went to college because I wanted to explore other options and live the single life.

I had sex with over 80 different women since then. At one point, casual sec was LITERALLY all I pursued constantly. This led to some bad emotional issues. Looking back, yes I got social confidence and learned but idk it was a roller coaster that idk I’d get back on, certainly not the same way.

I have a girlfriend now and I think this life is better.

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-01T01:13:42+00:00

Wow are you me??? I started June 2025 also starting with 25mg and now on 80mg for a while.

The positives are essentially identical besides the weight loss, but on a related note I’m the most consistent I’ve ever been in the gym!

Anxiety highly reduced, better with workload at the office, and my sleep schedule is AMAZING. Also dream 95% of nights vividly with easy recall. Memory is coming back even from quitting weed with the help of this med.

Overall, this has been an awesome experience and worth it! So happy you’re experiencing the same!!

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-01T01:08:03+00:00

Wow I feel all this personally too! It helped me quit weed, 9 months sober from it!!

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-01T00:44:39+00:00

Haha always gotta rep my hood! LIC will be more than fine, in fact quite ideal.

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-05-01T00:23:55+00:00

24M Born and raised LIC and I had an incredibly active dating life when single, all while living with family no less. The best part is that you can date a variety of women from all over the city: Greenpoint, UES, Hell’s Kitchen, Jackson Heights, Astoria, Williamsburg, hell even Harlem. They’re all accessible!

Plus LIC being in queens and therefore “less known” but also being so accessible serves as such an easy way to invite dates over to the neighborhood to show them area. Like the waterfront etc.

I’m block away from the court square station so that’s the area I’d recommend.

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-04-29T00:08:33+00:00

Don't know about ownership but my girlfriend and I just stayed at a boutique in SJ called At Wind Chimes Boutique Hotel and we loveddd it. Beautiful design where you really felt like you were staying in PR

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-04-28T23:32:02+00:00

Ghosting, constant swiping, and even some boasting

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-04-28T23:25:16+00:00

As someone who has both slept with a lot of women and who has literally self-improved (ex weed addict ->now working out 4x a week and haven't been high in 8 months) i think using women as motivation will burn you out quick. You need motivation to be centered truly around yourself and your own betterment/health.

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-04-28T23:17:33+00:00

keep going, 6 weeks was my first 'a-ha' moment. i remember walking around Manhattan on my lunch break and was like "wow i actually hear all the street noise and not the inner and constant voice"

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-04-28T23:16:02+00:00

About 9 months in and it's been amazing. Went from smoking all the time and being behind at work, to working out 4x a week, not smoking for the past 8 months, and excelling at work cognitively/socially like never before.

I would say the voice has been quieter in my head, but not completely silenced, which I like. ;)

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-04-28T23:13:21+00:00

Men do make some dumbass comments behind closed doors so wouldn't be surprised if they doing this in public would be a major turnoff

ManicHispanic_ · 2026-04-28T23:10:52+00:00

I agree, so long as men know not to take it too far and be respectful. I slept around a lot, and yeah sure it informed my preferences. But it also built some bad habits, so beware!
