I’ve had similar things happen. One man that I dated was very bothered by the fact that I have a college degree and he didn’t. After that, I dated a man who had a master’s (whereas I just have a bachelor’s), but I made more money than he did — that didn’t work out, either.

Thank you Goddess!

Thank you so much, it means a lot!

I know it doesn’t sound like much, but I went out for dinner and drinks with two friends this week. For me it felt like a major accomplishment, because I’ve been depressed the past few months. I realized I’ve been dealing with it by throwing myself into work (and working way too much) as a distraction, holing myself…

I’ve read interviews where she said she doesn’t drink and is more of a homebody type, so I’m sure that helps, too. Years of hard partying/smoking is definitely aging.

My intern at work was born in 1996, the year I graduated high school. It’s official, I’m old.

First things that come to mind are velour tracksuits, rah-rah skirts and platform flip-flops. Oh, and jeans without back pockets. Since I’m 40 now, I’ll most likely be able to avoid anything from that time should it come back like you said). Although, the cold shoulder tops that came around a couple years ago were…

Please tell me that none of the forecasts show that anything from the early 2000s is back. I was in college then and it has to be my worse era for fashion ever.

Confession: I love that high-rise jeans have become acceptable again. I just bought a stretchy pair and they are ridiculously comfortable. They also tuck in my 40-year-old stomach better than Spanx lol

Wow this is quite the endorsement. Was debating trying this brand but now I’m sold!

I can see now how my out-of-my-league comment looked bad. I just meant that a couple of men who messaged me are much fitter than I am. I definitely could not keep up with them on a hike, lol, and I’m aware that they could easily find a woman here who is younger and in better shape than me. So messaging them was a bit…

Ugh that is so terrible that she did that! I understand using a photo that’s maybe a year old if you haven’t had any dramatic changes, but way out of date is so not fair. So dishonest right off the bat.

Would you mind sharing a horror story with me? Do tell!

My uncle is an avid fisherman, so while I totally understand taking a photo of a major catch as evidence that you accomplished it, why post it on a dating app?

This is wonderful insight! I’ll be sure to add this (men who complain about the app) to my decoding list.

Thank you for this! I’ll be sure to limit my time on the app and not swipe too much. The way it’s set up, I can see how its easy to just swipe through a ton of profiles in the card deck.

Thank you! In just a day or two of using this app, I’m already finding what you say to be true. Only one of the six guys I matched with yesterday is taking the initiative to make plans for a date. Others have responded to my initial reach out but with minimal effort. It seems like theyre just saying “hey” back to keep…

Some of you Jezzies may know I’ve been single for a quite while. I bit the bullet today and posted a profile on Bumble.

Thank you for much for taking the time to read my long post and give such a thoughtful reply! I’m sorry that you went through something similar.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this! Sounds me to like it’s worth making the appointment, waiting and taking the morning/day off for the interview.
