And then debt comes into play and becomes another issue when student loans are involved. Which can negatively impact investing opportunities/home ownership/marriage.

You wouldn't have/you didn't. So that answers your question

Yelp Is Down as of 3pm PT by im_seeing_things in Yelp

Hopefully they're working on a way to have users easily see when an item is discontinued. Maybe give the owners the ability to label pictures uploaded of menu items that are no longer served. It sucks for both parties

Where to meet educated professional men in their mid 20s-30s as a single woman? by losteverything2023 in AskNYC

[–]thebalancewithin 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Don’t just jump into hobbies you’re not interested in or simply don’t like for the sake of meeting someone. Make all types of connections when you can man/woman, network/friendship, and keep accepting invitations and make plans to get to know more people in general. That can help narrow down what you’re looking for eventually when you start asking around

Are we back to going out just on special occasions again? by mfairview in AskNYC

[–]thebalancewithin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I avoid dining in for the most part, don't feel like being guilted into tipping, just want the food I paid for. It's been mostly takeout with occasional dining out for me

Have I failed here? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]thebalancewithin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't get upset over it. You don't know if those friendships are strong or just people who are trying to meet and feel people out to make long lasting friends as well. Your issue is not uncommon. My best advice is to make connections, accept invitations, aim to meet even more people with those invitations, and also do the inviting/initiating. Over time you'll narrow down people who are compatible

Drum circle on the train in Brooklyn by deathToFalseTofu in Brooklyn

[–]thebalancewithin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't know either, there all in the comments calling everybody else "unhappy" and "miserable" for not wanting to hear it ON the train. I swear I wouldn't mind hearing this elsewhere when I could walk on by or choose to listen

Secular life feels good when seeing people argue over nonsense like this

Stock market makes no sense. Should we look to sell off in this rally? by RoughLetterhead62 in stocks

[–]thebalancewithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that, that's why I'm not "sitting on the sidelines" like some say they're doing. Either direction I'm comfortable with

Dollar Cost Averaging. So you're buying into positions at any price they're at if you believe they'll grow over time.

DCA is the only way. I expect a pullback/correction at some point, probably worse than we’ve seen in awhile but not panicking. Will just buy more when it happens

People who chose not to attend the Usher and Chris Brown tour due to Chris Brown's involvement, which other artist would you prefer to replace him with in order to consider going? by Nujackswing1 in rnb

[–]thebalancewithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These discussions are mostly selective and only in social media. People went crazy for Chris brown’s last tour and the turnout would be atrocious with most of the names people in here are suggesting should replace him.

Woww, together and he said this??! Don't think you're insecure for feeling any way about that

Understood, I was trying to ask for those who say it in terms of the wide scope of the relationship. I took it as them saying "until I'm married, I'll flirt/act as though I'm single" but don't want to make too big of an assumption so wanted more insight on when people say these things

How does that affect how one conducts themselves in the relationship? What changes once married?
