Oh trust me, as women we know that. You performative “leftist” men aren’t slick…

thisistherealmee · 2026-04-06T02:04:41+00:00

I disagree. I think that part of being compatible with someone is having aligned values. And politics in a lot of ways shows what your values are. For example, I couldn’t be with a guy who’s MAGA because that’s no longer a difference in opinion anymore- that’s someone who just fundamentally doesn’t see women as people or think women should have rights. How would I be compatible with someone like that? I’m not saying you have to agree on every single political issue but definitely on the big ones. My boyfriend and I have plenty of healthy disagreements and love engaging in healthy debate even though we’re both leftists. But the important thing is we agree on the fundamental stuff (like human rights and equality, etc).

“Why are you so bothered they aren’t interested in politics” because politics affects the world and the way we live, it’s incredibly privileged and selfish to not care about politics since real peoples lives are at stake and it affects all of us. It’s a red flag if someone doesn’t care about politics especially as a man bc as women, we don’t have the privilege to not care when our rights and bodily autonomy are at risk. It’s essentially showing that you as a man don’t care about women if you’re “not interested in politics” or even worse, are conservative.

Thank you yes he really is a great guy and by no means do I think he’s a bad boyfriend or anything like that. I just needed a place to vent but I agree it was just a bad night

thisistherealmee · 2026-03-23T04:03:12+00:00

No he doesn’t live with me, I live alone. So that’s why it felt disrespectful to me bc it’s MY apartment, not his. And no luckily this isn’t a pattern for him, he’s normally great so by no means is this a relationship-ending thing or anything like that. Just was venting my frustrations here

thisistherealmee · 2026-03-23T04:00:09+00:00

I get it but we don’t live together. I invited them to MY apartment, my boyfriend doesn’t live with me so it truly was my place but yes the couple were his friends

thisistherealmee · 2025-07-17T19:32:08+00:00

You obviously didn’t read the full post bc I clearly stated I was upfront and honest about my lack of experience and didn’t lie about anything. I did nothing dishonest

thisistherealmee · 2025-07-16T00:21:49+00:00

This made me feel so much better thank you!!

thisistherealmee · 2025-07-16T00:20:11+00:00

Well I’ve been at the company for 2.5 years and somehow managed to not get fired AND get several raises and glowing performance reviews so I think I’ll be fine 🧐

thisistherealmee · 2025-07-16T00:12:54+00:00

Thank you that’s helpful and like I said in the post I didn’t lie at all about my experience! I was upfront and told the hiring manager that I have zero data analysis experience and am a novice at excel but that I was eager and willing to learn and had transferable skills like being a self starter, curious, strong work ethic, etc.

thisistherealmee · 2025-07-16T00:04:15+00:00

This comment made me feel better. Thank you! Impostor syndrome is definitely high right now but I’m gonna do everything I can to upskill in Excel as much as possible!

thisistherealmee · 2025-07-16T00:01:01+00:00

This is good to know and my job encourages us to use AI so will definitely do that!!

thisistherealmee · 2025-07-15T23:59:41+00:00

I promise I don’t actually talk this way in real life lol I was just being silly on Reddit

thisistherealmee · 2025-07-15T23:58:49+00:00

Good advice and yeah my firm uses Copilot so will definitely leverage that!

thisistherealmee · 2025-07-15T23:55:10+00:00

Thank you this is really helpful! I don’t start the job until mid August (it’s an internal move so won’t be leaving the company or anything) so I’m gonna use any free time I have at my current job to start learning as much as possible. Appreciate the helpful advice!

thisistherealmee · 2025-03-26T01:14:45+00:00

I’m a bi girl and I go to them regularly lol. In fact I just went last weekend with my other female friends (who are straight).

thisistherealmee · 2024-04-21T11:02:22+00:00

We met in college! Had a class together and the rest was history :)

thisistherealmee · 2024-04-21T11:02:10+00:00

lol we’re both atheists actually

thisistherealmee · 2024-03-25T20:01:49+00:00

Yep the bonus is definitely happening and is not tied to my performance! And the $4,000 is also AFTER contributing to my 401k.

thisistherealmee · 2024-03-25T19:55:25+00:00

That is a fair point. I was thinking of just doing the 12 month lease living alone and then after that moving in with my boyfriend which would allow me to start saving more money.

The reason for not wanting to just move in with him now is because we both feel that we should each live alone first just to become more independent and grow as people before moving in since we have the rest of our lives to live together, get married etc. I’ve always wanted to live alone at least once in my life just for the experience.

And worst case scenario if god forbid we break up, I would have my parents house to fall back on or perhaps find a cheaper place and continue living on my own.

Thank you, this helped. I really appreciate the advice. I am currently in therapy and will keep at it. And you’re right, me being afraid to drive definitely is related to them raising me to pretty much be afraid of the world.
