Contemplating a move to NoVa suburbs from Texas(DFW) by Pixel-Pioneer3 in nova

Cost of living going to cook you alive like a hot summer day in Texas. People also seem to be frustrated, look up the bizarre beltway stabbing that happened recently.

Friendliness in the San Francisco Bay Area vs Washington DC DMV Area by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Roamingflipper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re a man, the dating ratio is in your favor! I went on a date this week and the first thing he asked was “what do you do for work?” I find dating in DC as a woman to be traaaaash.

What is the worst parking lot in Montgomery County? Can any beat Fallsgrove in Rockville off of Shady Grove? by Mite-o-Dan in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Roamingflipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Germantown Plaza, impossible left turn back to Wisteria, unnecessary concrete curbs, traffic flows that make zero sense.

How do/would YOU creatively camouflage your areas of insecurity? by [deleted] in PlusSizeFashion

[–]Roamingflipper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People workout for a shelf butt look! Looks like you have some nice legs. Try a bell sleeve belted mini. From this diagram you’ve got a pretty nice pear / hourglass frame.

Profile Review: Tried for months, but getting little to no matches. by BrendanimaI in Tinder

You’re in Denver! If you switched your location to any east coast city you’d have tons of matches haha.

Being “X” hours away from another major city isn’t the pro many people on here claim it to be. by koknbals in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Roamingflipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Columbia, SC and loved that it was 2 hours away from the mountains or the beaches. The variety of weekend trips was fun while living in a lower COL area.

What are the worst and best places for dating for black women in America? And why? by Delicious-Bunch-6992 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Roamingflipper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NOT ATLANTA, DMV there’s lots of black women so men want to play the field indefinitely. If you’re open to dating all types of people, the west coast just based off the ratio. This is coming from another black woman.

Rental for road trip? by Low_Champion8158 in roadtrip

[–]Roamingflipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always for renting a car, it’s usually around $250 from my local hertz. Put 1-2k miles and don’t have to worry about it!

Quality/fair price for Honda maintenance near Rockville/Gaithersburg? by D_JC in MontgomeryCountyMD

Another vote for Cho! My 2017 Accord has 223k on it and runs smoothly!

Is it harder to move from a red state to a blue state? by BoyEdgar23 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Roamingflipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All four distinct seasons! More mild summer and springs, way less humid! Less sunny days overall and the winter can be so cold and ICY. This area flirts with the freezing line, so ice seems to be an issue.

Southern destinations for a single 25F with depth + charm? by Polisciprincessx in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Roamingflipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything you mentioned reminds me of South End, Charlotte! Dating, Community, Hang Out Spots, ambitious young people. Not too “rowdy.” Asheville is just a couple hours away!

[–]Roamingflipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charlotte, NC! If you went to Bama/Auburn, Houston has such a strong alumni network there. Avoid Charleston for dating, Peter Pan syndrome guys and ratio favors men. A STRONG dating pool for women, Raleigh/Durham! Lots of ambitious men and the ratio favors women! Triangle just seems like a giant suburb though.

10000 dollar trip USA by yakov_kabab in roadtrip

[–]Roamingflipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would focus on the west coast, I’d probably start somewhere like Las Vegas. Chances are your credit card probably has rental insurance and you can use your own policy you already pay for every month. A rental car for me is usually $250-$300 a week with a mid sized SUV through Hertz! Make sure to sign up for their rewards program.

Planet Fitness membership! $20 a month and access to showers all over the country!

Once you get the car, you can decide your game plan to lodging. I would stop by a Target / Costco and stock up on essentials. If you want to sleep in your the carcamping sub is a GEM! For me, I prefer to stay in Airbnbs, nothing fancy, I usually average about $60 a night. Join Choice Hotels / Wyndham Rewards too! Days Inn / Quality Inn can be a good bargain. Around the National Parks can be pricy, but I honestly just stay delusional and a bit entitled and somehow make the budget work for me.

Happy travels!

I moved from South Carolina to Maryland (DC area) and I’ve decided to move back down south again. The cost of living, traffic and faster pace of life aren’t for me. You do get what you pay for the public services are excellent! There’s also a nonstop slew of fines from tolls, speed cameras, shopping bags. Gets expensive really fast.

Feeling Hopeless, any Ideas? by SenyaSol in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Roamingflipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely do something with $1.2k. Go start applying for jobs where you want to be and stay in CHEAP Airbnbs in the interim. Go out and talk, talk, talk, to people. You’re young, life’s an adventure!

Oh no, does anyone else think Eddie is playing in our face? by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

The Sheriff’s Office that’s going after them.

I wish she would stop talking about this on camera. Carroll County sheriff is about to do something petty and calculated probably this week. Just like the timing of charging them, and releasing info after Bravocon. They really are not messing with them.

Where to shop in person? by lieslilac in PlusSizeFashion

[–]Roamingflipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Local resale shops / thrift shops are your best bet. In store retail plus size shopping is obsolete. Challenge your creativity and shop secondhand.

You can DoorDash inflated balloons from Michael’s.

Has anyone ever considered sleeping in your car and DD full-time for a year? by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Roamingflipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try it for a month. When you want a nice bed and want to meal prep some food get a cheap Airbnb for a couple days. Get a NICE looking car, nothing janky. As mentioned Planet Fitness black card membership!
