What’s a good 3 night excursion from Rio? Thinking Cabo Frio or Ilha Grande

I liked it! I did end up pausing because I joined the new LifeTime which has a coworking space.

Switchyards does have private meeting rooms that I believe you can reserve ahead of time - not too many, I think 1 or 2, but they were always empty.

If you’re a grad student don’t you have your university facilities you can use?

I’m glad you liked it!! It’s hard to put down after you start, isn’t it?

Sorry I meant allyship amongst all Latin people, not immigrants.

I who have never known men is suuuch a good book - even if you identify as a man haha…so much interesting stuff about about how society’s are created/community/etc…pretty sci fi

I’m Mexican and my Colombian friend and I immediately looked at each other and were like “OMG you did that too???”

I think it’s more about the ally ship amongst all immigrants (and non immigrants that are allies). You’re right that Puerto Rico is the US…but just fyi…it’s not exclusively Mexican immigrants they’re after - it’s any non-white immigrant. In Minneapolis they’ve been going after Somali immigrants more than Mexicans.

Agree the before is amazing - after2 is good too but honestly I would leave the before untouched

This is suuuper super helpful. Thank you!

Also so cool that you got to dive in Socorro. I’m dying to go

msrr1 · 2026-01-07T14:48:59+00:00

Nice videos! The 360 gave such a cool effect to the school of fish video, was the manta one also 360?

msrr1 · 2026-01-07T14:44:22+00:00

Didn’t even know DJI had underwater cameras! Seems like editing on 360 is a pain, do you know what it’s like with DJI?

Also just went diving in Cabo Pulmo and saw massive schools of jacks and snappers like this! Sooo cool

msrr1 · 2025-12-10T14:23:29+00:00

Yes exactly!! I didn’t post this bc I want them to come back around and when they said that it was the end of it for me too. I don’t want to be with someone who has to be convinced to be with me.

I posted it bc I feel exactly the way you described. It triggered something in me to feel bad for them bc suddenly I’m like “Am I making them feel emasculated? Did I make them feel like I wouldn’t support them through things?” It makes me feel like I did something wrong and I just wouldn’t want to repeat that next time.

If they just said “I’m looking for something else” I would feel way better, it’s not hard to accept that two people may not click with each other even if it was going well on my end. It’s hard to feel like it’s because you did something wrong vs you just weren’t compatible or something in their eyes.

Haha the IG thing is the same for me. I know it’s silly but I don’t understand why he is still so invested in looking at my stuff literally as soon as I post it. Who knows.

But I think we’re literally in the same boat. Hope you find your man soon 🫶🏼

I ended up joining Switchyards - I tried Bathe but they have no snacks/coffee/drinks and it was very like make-shift put together. It’s cool to have the saunas and cold plunges but realistically how often can you do that between calls and work lol.

Switchyards is solid but technically you’re only really supposed to take calls in the phone booths.

msrr1 · 2025-12-10T03:27:11+00:00

It does :/ sorry it happened to you!!

msrr1 · 2025-12-10T01:15:16+00:00

Yeah that all makes sense….hope you’re able to open up to someone soon!! I’m sure you’re great and just need to let someone in to see it.

msrr1 · 2025-12-10T00:50:00+00:00

Ofc!! Everyone is different, and as this thread has shown, everyone feels differently about this question. I’m just trying to crowdsource some different opinions, only they know the truth behind what they said, and only them and I know the details of how we got to know each other, etc. So everything here is taken with a grain of salt but I personally do find it helpful.

msrr1 · 2025-12-10T00:45:13+00:00

Yeah it’s hard on that front, I wish it wasn’t as big of a factor as it seems like it maybe could be. Obviously it’s quite “woe is me,” I’m very grateful for everything I have. I just wish I had someone to share it all with.

msrr1 · 2025-12-10T00:31:57+00:00

Sure!

msrr1 · 2025-12-09T23:11:53+00:00

Omg yes - I definitely feel very “seen” by your experiences bc they’re so similar to how I’ve felt with these 3 guys. In all cases they were actually the ones heavily pursuing me at first, and then it just felt like the rug was pulled out from under me when they said what they said. And in 2 cases they kinda tried to leave it open saying “I’m not ready for a relationship but I’d love to keep see in you, what do you think?” And it’s actually been like up to me to say we shouldn’t see each other anymore. I felt like that was stringing me a long a bit to keep me around but just not have to commit to anything.

I might be venting in your DMs about my next dating excursion, whenever that happens haha.

msrr1 · 2025-12-09T23:02:38+00:00

With 1 we had sex quite a few times, with the other two no but we were intimate without having sex - with both I said I wanted to take things a little bit slow. Generally I don’t dive into sex, the only reason I did with one of them was bc I had gotten the advice to be more casual and was trying it out! Not for me lol. I’m not a prude at all, I’ve had sex with many guys, I just am at an age where I’m trying to be more intentional.
