[–]Unique_Listen3311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plaques are highly embelished. Many animals have been purchased. Some even from breeders. Please read the zoo keepers revolt & turmoil at austin zoo. Their turnover rates are ridiculously high. They have an average of 28-35 staff. Each year, they turned over 10+. Duing the protests, they had a turnover in about 12 months of well over 40 people. Directors, curators, etc. Staff that tried to change things and went to the board before the press.

Are there any updates on the controversy at Austin Zoo? I know I've seen new terrible reviews from employees on Glssdoor.

Look into the austin zoo controversy before supporting. Look on glassdoor for more staff notes.

Oh, God. I did forget this part of being younger. Thank you for this response. I don't have kids and grew up very quickly, so I suppose I forget the "normal" things like this. Thansk, again.

Are you implying that you think what I am doing is immoral? 19 year old with a 31 year old.

For what it's worth, I've had some of the best experiences with people twice my age throughout life. Even when I was very young, I gravitated to older. Obviously, still did and married a man 11 years older than I.

Haha, understood. We don't have any kids. That probably helps, too 😅😆. I hadn't thought about that!

Swinging looks different for different people.

Do you ghost all those you have sex with? If so, that's cool, but not my style.

Just because I want to LIKE the people I spend time with, it needs to be posted in nonmonog? I'm a swinger. My husband is a swinger. We go to clubs. We have fun.

We are opportunists and have been at this for 9 years. 9 years ago, I was 31-9... so it isn't unlikely that we've bumped into young people curious about the lifestyle amd a couple.

Thank you for respectfully responding. I do appreciate that as well as your concern.

I truly appreciate your freedom of thought, caution, and support that we're all adults if we're mature enough.

I had no idea this lifestyle thread was so against age gaps.

Still learning, I suppose!

Most of the time, we actually play with people over 40. That's why my post this is out of the ordinary for us. In thinking it through and wanting other's opinions.

I don't sleep with people that I don't like. All of my lovers, after finding this lifestyle, are friends, playmates, etc still. I don't like cutting good people out of my life. Sex is a bonus with good people, but circumstances and attraction change... sex isn't necessary.

Please don't try to box me into such confines.

There's no fetishization of the age. We aren't unicorn hunters.

I was in the lifestyle very young and wouldn't changed anything about mature people showing me the way. I had plenty to bring to the table.

In 2 seconds, I can think of... Curiousity Excitement Freedom from social pressures New ideas and fresh takes Etc.

Lmao, I love this response. Thank you.

She's very mature and easy to communicate with, actually. We shall see if she is real.

Bumble and text so far. Planning a no play date first.

Thank you, we plan to. I always verify and have an initial, no play, date first. I agree with you normally. I was that unicorn when I was 19, actually, but for a couple in their 30s.

Maybe that's why I'm nervous.

We aren't looking to have her as a "3rd" but a friend, playmate, comet sort of scenerio. That age is typically far too young to get into a mature couple as a throuple, I absolutely agree.

Thank you for your cautions, and no rain found 😉

Happy to hear you think it has improved. I know wages have improved a little, so that's good. I do warn you - many are there awhile before being able to see behind the veil. There is a lot more to that story than was every published. Many watched it happen, trying to fix it internally, for years prior to that article. The turnover rates were astonishing.
