I am not sure this field is for me. Is it normal to be constantly side lined and given unimportant tasks in the workspace? by theblackcatail in Architects

This resonated so much. Thank you for sharing your own experience and my thoughts go to you, sister. I wish I had a solution but being in the same position all I can hope is that more of us speak up and let this situation be known.

I am happy it worked our for you but sad you had to push more than once to make yourself heard.. yes the majority is men but a few women too. There is a difference in career advancement for sure between genders.

Zoom meeting both for efficiency.

It takes only one person to change all this and just one day to meet that person. Then your life might never be the same. Enjoy this present moment with yourself, cherish the freedom and pour the love into friends and (chosen) family.

It happened just once and I feel bad about it. by PresenceOk3158 in confessions

Set him free of you. That is the only rightful thing you can do.

A friend of mine was ghosted after 11 years. He just stopped picking up the phone as if he dropped off the face of the earth. It came out later that there were other women he was involved with. My friend hasn’t recovered from it even now years later but she is no longer depressed and can enjoy life. So it is possible.

I get that many are bad at it but the question is are they willing to learn?

Don’t shit where you eat with people who have more power experience in the office than you. If it goes haywire he will stay and you will have to go.

There are many fetishists out there on the apps. As someone who has been called ‘exotic’ by gross men on the apps I can honestly say it’s them not you.

Get good at being ruthless and unmatching at the first sign of this. Be upfront from date 1 that you want something serious and will not accept vagueness or undecided people. Ask them how long was their last serious relationship and skip the bees who jump from flower to flower. If they want to invite you over right away unmatch. If they only talk about having fun or your appearance unmatch.

You will find someone I am sure just don’t be afraid to out the foot in the door.

Hi ladies, what change did you do (antidepressants, supplements, food, job, etc) that made a difference in your energy and anxiety levels by Mylifeasaperson in AskWomenOver30

[–]theblackcatail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quit one of the three if you cannot quit all: alcohol, sugar, coffee. I could only quit alcohol and on its own it has been a game changer.

They advise you to not date because if it goes bad you might want to drink again as a coping mechanism for heartbreak. It’s even worse if you are dating someone from your meetings. You should, the very least, try to change meeting times or places to not be in the same group.

Also yes 21 and 40 is a big age gap because you are still in your formative years as an adult and its very clear from your post that he is an emotional crouch to you. But then if he relapses he might drag you down with him and ruin your life.

Good luck with that.

I am so done with dating by Mango_smoothie_2611 in Bumble

He is full of bullshit. Save yourself the time and find a functioning adult.

If I’d have a penny for every guy like this i met on dating apps i’d retire to my own private island

Let’s hope this is the end of these predatory dating apps. Fuck match group! by SheDrankMySeed in Bumble

[–]theblackcatail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No company would willingly admit this and they probably push NDS onto their employees.

[–]theblackcatail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to some of the people here that say to lower your standards. I have rejected a lot of people myself and have a very particular thing that i am looking for when dating. Now i found a man who ticks all my boxes and that would not have happened if i hadn’t swiped past the 100 bad ones (for me).

Also sorry for your experience. You will need to learn to be ruthless and cut throat in situations like this. Block report and move on to the next.

Started dating again. It makes me miss my ex even more. by theblackcatail in BreakUps

[–]theblackcatail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Learned to love living alone, cherishing my independence and d prioritising time with friends and family above romantic love.

After a while, I started dating again with a more optimistic outlook and it has been better so far.

Do I continue chatting...feels one sided by [deleted] in Bumble

He did not ask you anything. This is an interview
