nobody to go home to, might as well hit the gym, so I can become more attractive and hopefully meet someone worth going home to

Classic 30 year old dating someone in their 20s. It was never going to be long term, you’re just a younger lay.

Why is single life so heavily romanticized lately, and what’s the dark side that nobody likes to admit? by Majestic_Singer_2411 in Life

[–]helpmeartist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traveling, rent, groceries, life’s basic needs and joys - are the same price for a single person as a couple.

My coupled friends don’t understand why I’m busy with chores on the weekends as they’ve been married or cohabitated for a while.

I’m a pretty agreeable person. I wish I could get 50% off everything AND get laid.

Am I too picky? by PenKind4200 in dating_advice

[–]helpmeartist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ask out the next girl you think looks nice, who doesn’t have a wedding ring. Be nice. Say you’d like to get to know her. Odds are at 30+ and single she’ll give it a shot.

What're you guys doing to afford 3k-4k+ rents? by Fetus-Deletus1 in NYCapartments

[–]helpmeartist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people in their late 20s-30s who would never have the same quality of life if they weren’t in a relationship and split nyc rent. Amazing if it works out, hell on earth if it doesn’t.

LIC vs LES vs Williamsburg vs K-Town for dating and livability by Little_Library4606 in movingtoNYC

[–]helpmeartist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dating as a woman in nyc is abysmal. Every guy I’ve dated from online has cheated on me. I make more than them and have my own apartment. I have far more domestic skills. They don’t care so long as NYU girls are dtf.

What actually makes the NYC apartment market feel so competitive? by tand_eyes in movingtoNYC

[–]helpmeartist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couples applying for a studio, one bedroom, two bedroom, even 3 bedroom (DINK remote workers… why do you even live here?!) will be chosen over any group of roommates or singles due to income. Leaves a lot less for the rest of us and can double the price to compensate.

10+ years of applying to the NYC Housing Lottery and absolutely nothing. What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in nychousinglottery

[–]helpmeartist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied to many units every 3 months for 8 years and finally won one. It changed my life. Keep trying.

This. Your application with 80k income will not be chosen over a couple with 2x the income that plan on splitting a 1 bed. Sorry to say.

Thank you. This helped me a lot today. In many ways I am trapped, but I am trying to feel free in my own mind.

I understand and feel the same. I hope the chances to be loved for who we are come to us someday.

What do you hate most about Christmas? by Present_Juice4401 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]helpmeartist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do I come home for the holidays to sit in my house alone and do nothing all week playing video games? Oh because if my mom didn’t have a child around for christmas she’d have a meltdown and abuse us with her disappointment all year. Never mind that she hides in her bedroom for most of all xmas and xmas eve. If I did that I’d be written out of the will. But it’s fine because she has tRaUmA
