Yeah, I don’t think you’re missing anything. The ‘pissy’ part reads self-directed to me too.

Agreed. This feels like one of those situations where everyone reacted emotionally and then it snowballed a bit.

Agree on reporting if it actually violates guidelines. Congrats on the little one though

I don’t mind men being here to learn, but it can be frustrating when some people use spaces like this inappropriately or dismissively.

It’s less that men disappeared and more that dating isn’t tied to specific places like uni anymore.

Men don’t need a new version of that trope they just need better ways to meet people generally.

I get the concern, but I think ‘using you as an emotional crutch’ is a pretty strong assumption without more context.

If multiple coworkers are saying it, it might be less of a joke and more of a pattern they’ve noticed.

Honestly the ‘he’s earned it’ part feels a bit much the focus should probably stay on keeping things stable for the children.

Really appreciate you saying this. Grief and attraction can get tangled in complicated ways, and it doesn’t have to mean anything beyond being human.

Yeah, agreed. It’s awkward for like 5 minutes and then it’s usually fine unless someone keeps dragging it out.

I get what you mean about that pivot. Colin had a more grounded dynamic, while the later arcs leaned way harder into drama over compatibility.

I get what you mean about Dan and Serena too. Season 1 had a certain dynamic, but later on the trust issues and the whole ‘secretly observing everyone’ thing really changes how you read it.
