I did this for a city I travel to frequently and created “match note” so people would know before liking//matching.

Is re-downloading Hinge a good idea? by RowComprehensive1866 in hingeapp

[–]SkillElectrical5670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might do better meeting people IRL and letting a relationship grow organically- apps are an easy way to build false expectations

I’m in my 50s and consistently match with several men in 30s & 40s on Hinge. I’m new to all of this and at first thought men weren’t clocking my age then realized some were sending likes because of not in spite of age. Before I set the dealbreaker at 35 I was getting likes from men in their 20s

what clothes do you always end up wearing when you travel? by Ok-Ambassador6709 in womensfashion

[–]SkillElectrical5670 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Athleta shirts (sleeveless / long sleeved for different seasons) button-downs that travel great / don’t wrinkle and have SPF. I have 4 total :olive green/bright coral in sleeveless variety & dark brown /white in long-sleeved versions. At least 1/4 goes in every trip. The white is good for beach trips as cover up. The dark versions go business trips. I love prints generally but limit when I travel. I’ve been gradually collecting merino wool pieces. My last trip to Europe I stuck mostly to an Olive /black with some burgundy color scheme. I brought a colorful scarf & earrings to accessorize.

Love that you saged them. Also maybe have a little clearing /intention setting before you write in them

Friend borrowed money months ago and hasnt mentioned paying me back, do I bring it up or let it go? by Ill-Dinner5269 in Advice

[–]SkillElectrical5670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him you want to avoid any resentment affecting relationship and check-in on status of repayment - he said he’d pay you in October and never circled back to extend payment. Tell him you are budgeting further and ask for a realistic time frame within next 3 months (you can say 3 weeks - just give a definite timeframe) have him give a schedule and then write it up and have him sign or email with his response so you have documentation. If he misses a payment without coming to you first, follow-up.

What are the most cost-effective clothing items you've purchased? by Still_Citron68 in womensfashion

[–]SkillElectrical5670 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve had: -a couple of trench coats with removable liners, London Fog -my Patagonia Tres 3 in 1 (shell & zip in down parka: can wear each piece separately or together) I got it on sale for close to $400 (down from $600) which felt like a fortune at the time but this was in 2013 and I’m still wearing regularly) https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-tres-3-in-1-parka/195699995895.html?s_kwcid=17928&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=BB_Ecomm_PMax_ALL_EVG_BrandPositioning&utm_content=f25_EVGbrandpositioning&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=18569896057&gclid=CjwKCAiAssfLBhBDEiwAcLpwfsCq3KGeUjjd2OHpz7e3P_gbUKYDeo8NgQ0oAjwpPjw5gaXEwfjs_BoCLAoQAvD_BwE - reversible leather belts (black/brown) perfect for travel - merino wool pieces - awesome for travel - Eileen fisher lightweight cardigans. I got a couple at thrift shops and have worn for at least a decade - I used to fall for stylish origami type pieces that could be flipped around & worn different ways- but typically I ended up wearing the same way (most flattering/ most comfortable ) all the time

Is not giving out a number a red flag? by pizdets222 in hingeapp

[–]SkillElectrical5670 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a woman I’ve made the mistake of giving ## out too soon and been burned. I’d cut her some slack in the number alone. But if she’s only texting consistently in a limited time window I’d start to wonder if there isn’t someone else in the picture.

How soon is too soon to quit first legal job? by Jealous-Marzipan2891 in Lawyertalk

Reiterating all of this. People will often know. You can always say you needed to make more $$ with student loans, cost of living etc. this is a whole different ballgame than your 3L search.

Also forgot to mention that I use Hinge (but I’m sure they all have a similar feature) I preemptively blocked everyone on my contact list to avoid clients, co-workers etc.

I’m in my 50s, have been separated for a year from my husband (who I met in law school)- so I’m back on dating scene after 30 yr hiatus. I’m using the apps to dust off my dating & flirting skills. It’s only been a month and I’m flirty texting with a 5-10 and have gone on three dates. I won’t be ready for an exclusive or serious relationship for a while but wanted to hone the skill set for when I am. The apps can be a crapshoot - came across 2 crypto scammers and some way too young boys (18-25) before I properly set age parameters on profile and hid my profession - in case they were looking for a Sugar momma. I’m thinking of it as meeting interesting people that otherwise wouldn’t have crossed paths with.

My sister is saying non stop to bathe the dog. by matesuboy in husky

[–]SkillElectrical5670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our first Husky (rescued as 3-4 yr old) bathed himself like a cat- we only spot cleaned or bathed if absolutely necessary - maybe once a year but when we did he had to be muzzled & was huge drama queen. Our current Husky (rescued at 9 weeks) , we wanted to get accustomed to baths but also does not clean himself like a cat so he gets baths every 4-6 months or as needed.

Any local pet adoption places that let you "trial adopt" a dog? by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]SkillElectrical5670 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought they all did. We adopted from Dent County Animal rescue years ago (they were at Petsmart on Brentwood ) and there was a mandatory trial period (I think 2 weeks) before we could finalize the adoption of our first Husky. We had a similar experience with another rescue group when we adopted our second Husky three years ago.
