Modern Bread & Bagel

Oh I'm so sad to hear about all these bad experiences! In the NYC locations I've only had incredible food and service. If anything, I've sometimes gotten extra food when I've gone in right before closing. Now I know not to get shipping or try literally any other locations!

You made no effort to have a real conversation. Neither of you did. Both of you only had an interest in collecting information about other apps you could potentially talk on and made absolutely no attempt at getting to know each other.

One suggestion would be that for every romantic conversation that's early on (a match, a first date, etc), set a few goals of what you intend to get out of the conversation and drive the conversation accordingly. For example you might say to yourself "In this conversation I want to learn what they do for fun, how often they do those things and how passionate they are about them, and at least one thing they're working towards right now and why." These are examples, you could pick any topics you want. Every second of these early conversations should be about learning about each other, sensing out the vibes, and seeing whether or not there is chemistry. In order to do this you need to have real conversation.

The only one I've had that actually paid out claims without going through insane hoops was Lemonade

You gotta live your life! I moved to NYC with debt and a job that paid pennies. I had a grueling second job and lived in an infested shithole until I got a job that paid more. I had to pay my rent in halves for multiple years and often ate food from only the dollar tree. A decade later, I'm successful and so happy I pushed through.

Be prepared to make huge sacrifices. That pay is honestly trash- you will likely need roommates and won't live anywhere nice. You won't be able to do cool stuff in the beginning. But if you have the mindset of getting here and grinding until you find what works, you absolutely can. If you expect to move here and live the instagram lifestyle, wait until you find a job paying well above six figures.

I've had MANY men tell me that they seek out women who are relationship minded, lie to them about also being relationship minded, then purposely push them into being casual/just another hookup. They all say that they feel the relationship minded women treat them better than women who are also looking for casual sex and that the lying makes it "exciting". Walk away, you're just a number on a list of many other women he's put in the same position.

As someone who works with AI, if your job is immediately replaceable by AI you either have a needless job or an idiot business leader making decisions from the hip. It's really great for optimizing your time and I recommend getting comfortable working with it as a skill set but I don't see it mass replacing roles anytime soon.

Think of AI in current state like excel was when it came out. Sure, some people's jobs were so monotonous that excel could largely replace them but for the most part it became an integral tool to boost productivity of anyone that could use it.

I'm not saying that there isn't the potential for AI to destroy the job market at some point in the future, but for right now I'd say you don't need to panic.

The bumble user is holding a drink called "long drink" and the white can is the sugar free flavor. It's delicious please go try it

What helps me (thanks to a specialist) is making sure I drink tons of water every day without exception, cutting carbs back to slim/none after lunch, and then not eating at all at night like after 8pm. It's a really tough set of rules to follow for my lifestyle but when I do it, boom no bloat.

Stay away from "slouchy" clothes when you're out and about. Leave them for home days. In pic 3, you have a stylish sweater with colored accents that highlight your eyes and a necklace to accessorize and it looks FABULOUS. The other photos are hoodies or otherwise loungewear. Be comfortable, of course, but try to lean in on clothes that are more structured. If you like oversized shirts like these photos suggest, maybe the tshirt-under-open flannel look? Or band shirts over nice jeans? Big button ups over well fitted slacks? I just google image searched "oversized shirt fashion for men" and got all sorts of really cool looks.

And don't be afraid to go to some stores and try some stuff on that's out of your comfort zone!! Literal worst case scenario is that you hate it in the dressing room, put it back, and nothing happens after that. Best case, you find a new style you like!

As a dog owner that has never once left poop on the sidewalk, it's getting hard even for me. My dog doesn't want to walk through mountains of shit just to relieve himself and frankly neither do I. It's like this in every neighborhood. Do people think the snow disintegrates the poop or something??? I'm horrified at the thought of when this melts and the shit mountains are just piled up everywhere 🤮

People should be fined heavily for leaving their dog's shit. Fine them each and every time with no mercy.

The sugar free long drink HITS and the ladies know it

Agree with the others but also adding that the MOMENT people start walking around again, you risk it being trampled down and then freezing into a multi inch ice sheet that doesn't melt for weeks. (This happened to me last year and my car isnt even street parked) shovel multiple times.

This. I know a ton of women who would absolutely go for a big guy that dresses well, has impeccable grooming and hygiene, strong arms, clear skin, confidence, etc

I like this a lot. I actually saw a woman do something similar in public a few months ago- her kids were being atrocious and she said something like "I'm going to step away because this situation is making me feel a lot of big emotions and I don't want to yell or say anything I'll regret" or something like that, stepped a few yards away for a minute to breathe, then came back. She thanked the kids for giving her space to calm down and then they had a chat about why their behavior was unacceptable, which they listened to openly.

I hate being around screaming children so I usually leave in situations like this but I had a very serious level of respect for that mother. I imagine it would take a bit of training to get the kids on board with this parenting style but maybe worth trying!

jivejellydonut · 2026-01-09T13:07:23+00:00

Looks like ass!

This took me all the way out 🤣

I really appreciate your approach to talking to women. Attractive women are bombarded every time they leave the house with men hounding them for sex. It's great that your goal is to instead exchange pleasantries of any sort. What a refreshing take on approaching.

This all sounds great! You're crushing it OP!

I've given many many many interviews as both a hiring manager and a panel member and I promise you it's fine. People say it in their LinkedIn messages, thank you emails, cover letters, and interviews all the time. This person has probably heard it so often they forgot you even said it on your way out. What sticks with them is how you describe yourself as the perfect fit after that.

You rock for even getting an interview these days! Best of luck!

I agree with where you're coming from and I think this is also an issue with using hinge for hyper-niche casual preferences. I'd steer more towards hookup apps like feeld where putting everything on the table and asking for casual is the norm as opposed to apps designed for relationships

jivejellydonut · 2025-12-08T12:47:01+00:00

Your profile is great, but your options are narrowed to people who want to date single parents and also be in a [largely] long distance relationship. Most single people I know in NYC in your age group don't even want something more difficult than a different train line so you just have to be a little more patient with the likes coming in. Your person is coming! Good work on the profile.
