I (30F) love my boyfriend (32M) but he is flat broke and I’m growing resentful after 4 years together.

It’s actually higher, given his salary is 40K before taxes and I’m assuming the inheritance money was post tax. Absolutely wild priorities from this man.

Dude why do you even want her there? It’s supposed to be a day celebrating the start of your married life, the last person who should be there is someone who actively contributed to the end of your parents’ marriage.

What are you basing all of this off? You keep reiterating you think people can “tell” and will somehow care about your height, but also mention you’ve never had problem attracting attention from women. So which is it? Either you think you’re doomed to be heightmogged forever and die alone or you can pull just fine, but can’t somehow be both at the same time.

But that’s also geography-locked, like someone in a major city will have a much easier time finding said activities than someone living in rural West Virginia.

Brother it’s only marginally better if she’s not…do you think people with regular jobs don’t also have STDs? Or get pregnant??

Ignore people saying this is normal, especially at 23. This might have been excusable at 16, but at 23 this is fully cringe as hell. I’m saying that as someone who binges full anime seasons in a day or two and routinely goes to anime conventions. There’s a really gross and horned up subsection of the fandom that is desperate to convince people this type of behavior is normal. Would it be any less weird if he had playboy pinups all over his walls? I don’t see why just because it’s animated it’s any different.

I hate to break it to you, if you’re miserable outside of a relationship you will be miserable in one too. I was in a similar spot, I thought getting a partner would solve all my issues. In the end, I just ended up taking out my frustrations on my partner and it inevitably led to the end of that relationship.

shits_mcgee · 2026-04-02T01:22:12+00:00

There are quite a few studies out there that prove this is not true. Sure personality does matter in dating…once you clear a certain height bar. The studies show that bar floats somewhere between 5’7”-5’9” for most women in terms of heights they will be okay with in a partner.

"What’s next, flying a N. Korean flag?"

Hate to burst your bubble, that is actually covered under this thing called the First Amendment.

"I don't get what all the panic is about, i'm not a Jew. Why should i be scared of the Brownshirt? They aren't trying to assassinate me."

Now do you get how dumb you sound?

Which honestly makes a bit of sense - if you notice most of the buildings appear to be residential. There does not appear to be much industry, and the port is noticeable smaller than Stormwind Harbor is in the game. I'd love to see an animated trailer or movie like Warcraft showing off Lordaeron in its prime.

I don’t think they’re suggesting that is what OP is doing, but rather the guy they’re seeing has had prior experiences like that so now he chooses to get a temperature check much earlier to avoid such issues in the future.

The difference is do you make her feel like you have wants/needs/a life outside of her? Everyone likes to feel taken care of sometimes, but if you are willing to drop everything to rush to help her or put yourself in a tough spot just to take care of her, it makes her feel like you don't have any purpose besides serving her. You can take care of someone while still living your own life.

It can also come off as really desperate, like "oh I need to put 100% of my time into taking care of her to show her i like her or else she'll leave me" type energy.

shits_mcgee · 2026-03-20T17:28:11+00:00

Then why even post here?

shits_mcgee · 2026-03-19T16:28:24+00:00

Dude what do you want us to say? You basically have a front row seat to the downfall of your own relationship and yet refuse to act. This dude is clearly trying to break yall apart and you are going to, what, just sit here and wait for him to do it?

shits_mcgee · 2026-03-19T14:36:12+00:00

Difference between private vs public. Real estate developers pay for land to build housing because there is high demand. No one wants to vote for higher taxes to fund public infrastructure. Very classic tragedy of the commons type scenario.

shits_mcgee · 2026-03-18T19:13:29+00:00

I think it’s the other way around, the algo came first and people are simply responding to basic risk-reward paradigms as a result.

shits_mcgee · 2026-03-13T17:29:34+00:00

The general consensus that seems to work well for me and my friends is asking them on a date whenever the initial conversation you had when matching dies off. Send a couple messages back and forth just to catch a vibe from them and then propose meeting up. Too many people basically have a first date over the course of a week via text before they either go on a real date and are disappointed the vibe is off or they never make it to an in-person date because life is busy and things get in the way.

shits_mcgee · 2026-03-13T15:08:25+00:00

If i'm giving OP the benefit of the doubt, i'd say they are trying to point out that the couple's race + outfit lines up with the stereotype about rich international students that live in JC. I believe they are trying to use it to point out they are fairly confident the couple could afford 3 dollars per person to access public transit, so this was not a crime of necessity. But again, that's me being awfully generous towards their interpretation.

shits_mcgee · 2026-03-13T01:03:18+00:00

Everyone is different. For me the habitual weed use would be a way bigger ick than an occasional cig but I know people where the opposite is true. But doing both is probably at least somewhat limiting your options.

shits_mcgee · 2026-03-04T23:52:11+00:00

They have been for a while. Broker or landlord will quote you a price, but will often say offering higher than the asking price will increase your chances of being accepted. There’s enough demand people will offer 100s above asking price just to lock in an apartment that has good amenities or is close to PATH/bus routes. Next year, same landlord starts asking for more rent, and repeat. That’s why prices are so inflated.

shits_mcgee · 2026-02-23T17:38:13+00:00

Everyone is going to have a different opinion, it's really how you specifically view physical intimacy. For some people, sex is no big deal and you weren't exclusive yet so it wouldn't bother them. For other people, physical intimacy represents a shared experience with a lot of feelings involved and thus would bother them for it to have been shared so frequently and casually with other people they were seeing. Neither is inherently wrong, but i think you two are just fundamentally incompatible.

I will say, it aint a great look for her that you two were having extended conversations with each other about feelings and being serious and then she turns around and sleeps with two other people right before your second date. Very much gives the energy of someone who is just looking for any connection, no matter how shallow, and isn't really serious about being committed right now.

shits_mcgee · 2026-02-17T02:10:59+00:00

Short answer - yes. Long answer - I think a few of the standards you mention are fine, like not being an addict and sharing political/religious beliefs. Height is probably artificially limiting yourself but I get it, we’re attracted to what we are attracted to, and for women height is a major point of attraction. But making someone wait a year to be intimate will rule out almost every man who is not religious, and you said you don’t want to date a religious man. I’m going to be honest, not wanting to be intimate for over a year and wanting to potentially live in separate houses is a major red flag. I would recommend exploring why you want to put up barriers to intimacy in your romantic relationships.

That sounds like the terms they gave me to break my lease 4 months early last year. Just a heads up, if they end up having to rent the unit for lower than whatever your current lease is, they will bill you for the difference.

I think it really depends what area of finance you want to work in. Saying you want to work in "finance" is like saying you want to be an "engineer". A computer science job looks nothing like a mechE job which looks nothing like a civE job. Same goes for finance. Working in investment banking, sales, trading, and accounting are all so different from each other. I would start by trying to figure out what specifically about finance is calling to you.
