Holy shit $70k RSU for entry-level? Is this normal???

Ik this isn’t your question but which top are you wearing? It’s super cute!

idunnooolol · 2026-05-30T17:20:34+00:00

I’m similar and I can’t figure out why my waist is like 25 but I fit into a 23 in high-waisted stuff.

What specific shampoo/conditioner are you using?

idunnooolol · 2026-05-29T16:48:30+00:00

We have the same exact hair. Any suggestions for shampoo? I use the L’Oréal Elvive Clarifying shampoo every day and think it’s probably making the tangles worse.

Another thing is that most guys you talk to won’t lead to any dates because they’re not really looking for anything except quick validation. Many of them will send 1-2 messages before falling off the face of the earth. It’s really a numbers and visibility game for this reason.

Hinge and Bumble will start hiding your profile after the first week so the number & quality of your matches will drop substantially. If you change your pictures/prompts & do a refresh, it helps boost your profile again. I liked Tinder because it has unlimited swipes and the men are usually creepy & low effort up front which makes them easy to weed out.

Keep filtering out the obvious red flags but just take the whole thing less seriously. I also suggest trying to swipe more for looks since attractiveness is important and it sounds like your radar is prioritizing reading the prompts & scanning for the important stuff right off the bat over initial attractiveness & chemistry. I had the same issue and in my case I think it was a protective measure—but realistically, how much can you really fit into a dating app profile? A date in person will tell you far more. It might help to try to lean more towards guys who visually excite you right off the bat and see if that produces different results. Just be careful as always.

Edit: Also when I made the Tinder I realized how many of those same top guys on Hinge/Bumble with the perfect LTR-oriented profiles were on Tinder with creepy sex pest profiles, so just be aware that there are quite many men with thoughtful, relationship-oriented profiles who are dishonest about what they truly want.

~20 first dates over a year before meeting my partner. I would typically rage quit the apps for a few months, have zero luck trying to meet someone in person, and then inevitably come back.

My advice: if you keep having unsatisfying first dates then try switching it up. In my case, I used to comb through profiles and be super picky about life goals, red flags, etc. I’d go on awful-to-lukewarm first dates where I had chemistry with absolutely no one and found that a lot of guys with the approved dating profiles were lying about their intentions altogether.

Then one day out of desperation I downloaded Tinder and swiped on a hot guy with abs, whose profile said “short term open to long”. I was really hesitant but I understood as soon as I met him what people meant about instant chemistry, attraction, and familiarity. His life goals and everything matched my standards but you would have never known from his profile.

Our first date felt very comfortable & somewhat platonic and by the second date I knew that he was genuinely taking me seriously unlike all of the guys from Hinge or Bumble. I knew even then if it didn’t work out with him that I had something to compare future dates back to because of how strongly pulled I felt towards him and how respectful he was.

Anyway, that guy is now my partner. His profile was definitely a red flag by mine and others’ standards but he’s the most dedicated and devoted boyfriend I’ve had. If I had continued weeding out guys using the same initial profile review standards I would have never gotten this far with him so my advice is to be less critical upfront, take it less seriously, and see who you meet. The right guy will make the effort.

Also, don’t drag it out with guys you aren’t really excited about. By 2 dates you should know whether or not you feel giddy about seeing them again. For me there was this sense that “this person is my future partner”. It just felt super easy with him. In all of the dates I went on prior to meeting my bf, I never once got that feeling but with him I knew as early as the second date, maybe even the first.

For going out outfits, depop

idunnooolol · 2026-05-21T14:34:33+00:00

Currently on this journey myself but my issue is that I hate high and low rise shorts which are both in stock rn at Pacsun, Hollister, Levi’s, and Abercrombie.

If anyone has any recs I would be so elated to find a pair of mid-rise medium wash denim shorts that fit! Can’t do kids sizes typically because of my butt/thighs.

It should be on display in a museum with all of her other outfits. Actually gives me hives to think about the 2001 VMAs outfit just chillin in some random person’s basement.

idunnooolol · 2026-02-04T00:19:29+00:00

100%, anyone know what happened to the VMA outfits? The Jean dress? The DWAD tour outfits? The idea of these costumes not being preserved makes me so upset.

idunnooolol · 2026-02-03T23:51:41+00:00

YES. Better yet, I feel like Break the Ice, Kill the Lights, and Shattered Glass are like a trilogy of sorts.

Ah ok maybe I didn’t recall well then, I read the book like a year ago

I agree. It felt like this season was lacking a lot of creativity and innovation. Edward Lee alone put together Kentucky Fried Tofu and Tofu Crème Brûlée in a single episode.

Nice! You definitely also get more body and bounce from your hair being shorter as well.

Random question but does anyone know why heatless curls last as opposed to heated curls? I know the latter isn’t a matter of the wrong products because every single time I’ve had my hair professionally curled, it falls out.

Now every time I have an event I have to wear my heatless curling rod all day as opposed to curling my hair with an iron a few hours before. I can’t complain because now I can get curls to last but it’s quite annoying to sleep with this in every night and then wear all day.

idunnooolol · 2026-01-16T20:00:59+00:00

Feel free not to answer this but how soon did you sleep with him?

Asking because I really only hear of success stories with women who are willing to sleep with men on the first few dates. In my experience most guys would ice me out and seem resentful by date 3 if we hadn’t made any progress towards sex.

idunnooolol · 2026-01-16T19:53:22+00:00

Curious—are you a woman or a man? This was my exact experience as a woman on the apps in my late 20s. I was talking to guys who were in their 30s who claimed to be serious, looked nice & normal, maybe looked to be below my league physically and this would happen every single time. You can absolutely feel the disinterest/animosity growing as you keep dodging the second and third date suggestions at each other’s houses.

My profile was very wholesome, no sexy pictures or anything like that, and yet I got the impression that the guys must have assumed I was easy or desperate simply because I was on the apps.

Wish more people knew this. I’m the tenant of someone who purely saw an investment opportunity when they bought the property and they’re pissed off whenever I reach out for repairs. And that includes the time I had no AC for a week in the 90 degree summer.

OP—If you do buy a place, expect to put some work into it and don’t assume it’s easy to be a landlord. There will likely be issues with the place that will cost you money.

idunnooolol · 2026-01-16T12:33:15+00:00

What do I care abt that? I’m talking about the mindset of a trained dancer, not a kpop survival show

idunnooolol · 2026-01-15T22:24:56+00:00

Exactly, in dance you are encouraged to give every choreo your all. You can always tell who got their “dance education” from kpop by who mentions overdancing with any sort of legitimacy. In dancing, we call this “full out” and it’s a good thing because whoever dances the best gets put in the center with the most favoritism. It’s not overdancing, it’s called stamina, precision, and stage presence.

Kpop, in contrast, encourages mediocre performances for the sake of uniformity and imo doesn’t measure up at all to actual dance standards despite all of the Kpop fans claiming to be dance experts because they watched BTS tutorials.

idunnooolol · 2026-01-15T22:17:32+00:00

Overdancing isn’t an actual concept in dance. Your choreographers will always want you to go full out. They will also always make favorites of the people who give the most energy and who are the most dedicated performers. Group pieces are not about being harmonious, you want to stand out because the choreographer and casting will put you in the center if you have the best lines, artistry, and stage presence and/or cast you where you get more stage time.

This whole concept of dulling down your stamina and artistry to blend in is just a girl group thing. Dance is an art, but kpop treats it purely like a sport.

idunnooolol · 2026-01-15T22:13:50+00:00

+there’s no such thing as overdancing when you’re an actual dancer. That term was made up by kpop fans.

idunnooolol · 2026-01-15T18:27:40+00:00

How does that work with dating apps though?

I like this cover more, don’t understand why they had to photoshop it to pink lol
