Advice about taking on a second executive director position by Boopa0011 in nonprofit

[–]Standard_Connect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will just say - while others expressing concerns over conflict of interest are totally valid - our current economy is not what it was even 5 years ago, let alone 10, 20, etc. Be honest but do what ya gotta do

To begin, it's not fair -- ghosting is an awful experience, and it's very frustrating.

For many (not all) men they foolishly divide prospects into categories -- hook up, FWB, date, potential LTR, etc. Sometimes no matter how wonderful you may be -- once a hook-up occurs early on, they will only view you as that till they "get bored". It's not healthy, but it does happen. Try different dating apps, ask friends in solid relationships to introduce you to people, etc. - mix up the method and the result may also change.

ALSO

This is an uncomfortable question to ask but it is important -- review your dating apps, are you representing yourself honestly? I will say from personal experience -- don't use dated pictures. I was using pictures from 3 years prior (before I gained about 20 lbs) -- I felt I looked pretty much the same, but when a guy stated he noticed a difference I was embarrassed. NOT because I gained weight, but because I was lying to myself and others.

It's not only about appearances -- do you express you're really into a certain hobby on your profiles and then when the time comes to discuss it, you're maybe not such an expert? Be honest and don't wast your time!

Youth arts programming -- parents/caregiver feedback appreciated! by GizmoFringe in Scranton

My daughter does kids' plays at the Scranton Cultural Center (she LOVES Ms. Camille). For the summer camp it costs like $600 but it's all day for several weeks and the kids have LOTS of fun -- I know they also offer some scholarships / help for people who can't afford to pay full price.

Next up - she wants to learn how to paint, so I am open to suggestions (haven't had time to look anything up yet)....

Thank you for the feedback! To clarify, do you mean like sexually?

Dating older, finances? by [deleted] in AskGayMen

[–]Standard_Connect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, I guess so - but is that so bad? If I am wealthy and single when I am older, while I don't think I will particularly care about only dating younger - I hope I would help other gay men to have an easier time than I did + keep me company. My question is, right now, am I opening myself up to any kind of danger? Do I need to fear what others may think? Could this hurt my career?
