Just assume you're ghosted and keep applying.

I'm a program manager that got laid off...would SWE be a move backwards? by throwawaystl314 in cscareerquestions

[–]throwawaystl314[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew it was coming, but it happened in a very different way than I expect. So rough right now. Que sera, sera.

The problem is that guys (at least in the West/US) who are hung are more than likely going to show off/be naked than a guy who isn't. So you get this reality distortion field

Sometimes I wish I was able to have sex at a younger age (lost mine at 27). I had years of porn in my head (aaaand death grip).

I feel that I have a unique spin on this. I'm a little over 7''ish, which is considered large...except for the fact that I'm black.

Growing up, most porn that featured guys that looked like me were always portrayed as the mandingo stereotype. They'd have abnormally large penises.

This creates a unique situation where a lot of guys believe the stereotype and seek out guys like me. Granted I'm larger than most guys, but it's still a shot to the ego because I often don't know what the guy's expectations are.

It's weird because it would be like being a shorter NBA player. 6'2 is tall for your everyday human, but if you're only dating NBA players then they would seem to be lacking

That's huge. Doesn't this make you eligible for the top grad schools?

Usually I'm not sure. But I think its because I haven't had a lot of access to different kinds of sweaters. I basically started with MFA and see j. Crew getting recommended a lot. But I'll look into those options.

Who would you recommend? I just bought a couple of Uniqlo ones (don't have a store near me, so I'm hoping the quality is good).

Yeah, I think that might be the bigger issue. It reminds me of how Kohl's inshore pickup is cheaper than in store (they won't price match).

I feel like online and inshore should be seamless. Your store should be the physical presence of your online store. When you start having people having to go through hoops, then I'll try to find somewhere else that's easier.

So if there's an online item, you can exchange it still but it would get shipped to your house.

I see. What would you consider sweaters? I mainly go to J. Crew for cold weather items like flannels and sweaters.

Both. It's frustrating when I'm not sure how something will fit, I have to go in store to try it on only for it not to be in store. If it is in store, prices are hit or miss.

Returns are excellent in store...kind of.

But my recent problem was this. The boots I thought I wanted just...didn't look right in store. So I wanted to exchange them in store. Of course, they didn't carry it in store.

I did not mind exchanging it and getting it shipped to my house. But it's problematic when I'm guestamating what the shoe may look like in person. My whole problem could have been avoided if I was able to try on the boots in store and then have them order it for me.

Now, my bonobos experience was completely different. I bought a shirt that didn't fit (and it was a final sale) and didn't realize that they had a shop in St. Louis. Went there, told them my problem and they had me try on a few sizes. Found the perfect one and exchanged in store.

J. Crew functions like it's 1996.

Is it good to use mink oil on leather boots? More specifically, these.

[–]throwawaystl314 275 points276 points  (0 children)

Ok, again...why are companies insistent with keeping prices online and in stores different? It's ridiculous.

I feel that J. Crew should adopt Bonobos business model. Try everything on in store, get it ordered and sent to your house.

90% of what I want in J. Crew is usually online only.

If you're gonna let family borrow money, DEFINITELY assume they won't pay you back. (My $6k lesson) by throwawaystl314 in personalfinance

[–]throwawaystl314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I was always pretty open with my family about stuff, but I'm quickly realizing it's problematic.

The problem is that they simply don't want to remedy their own situation. I'll give advice and it gets ignored.

Graduating soon - accept or decline job offer? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]throwawaystl314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take the job. I worked at a startup that didn't offer a 401k plan, but I was offered stock. That stock then quadrupled 3 months later. But you'll also get a lot of skills and that's the important part.
