My skin is so oily, and sensitive on top of that, that I could never pull this off! If I don’t do a thorough, proper cleanse before I go to bed—facewash AND micellar water/some kind of toner—it’s a guarantee I will break out immediately the next day. I trained myself to do this even when I’m really, really, drunk lol

He does seem genuinely happy, though. He wanted children, and he found someone who also really wanted a family—she’s very nurturing and is a great mom. A few of his friends did mention how quickly it seemed to happen — one day, they were introduced to her as his girlfriend, and the next time they saw her after that was

Hey LA, I remember you! You gave me amazing advice about being on dating apps at this age and what to do about the guy I met. You helped me a lot — I decided to just roll with it and have fun, and I’m really glad I did because I’m having an amazing time! The age gap between us isn’t bothering me anymore, and I notice

I also wanted to add that I am a reserved person, as well. It was REALLY hard for me to message men first when I first starting using the app, but I’m not going to lie, it got easier and easier with each man that I reached out to over time. By the time I had to message the current younger guy, I was actually quite

You give me too much credit, I definitely was NOT brave about it, lol. When I accepted that I was ready to meet a man, I first had to consult the committee: I came here to SNS to ask other Jezzies about their experience with the app and for tips/advice. I also had to think long and hard about doing it before I created

Through everyone’s comments, I came to the realization that he most likely is what-iffing. I completely agree that he sees me off having fun with someone else, and he probably feels left out, which I think is OK and totally normal. Other Jezzies also helped me see that my friend never treated other men I dated poorly

Thank you!! I’m just basking in being happy and trying to live it up, and my friend’s reaction was such a wet blanket. It’s not like I brought the younger guy over said “we’re moving into together” or something crazy like that. I agree, all I said was “I met someone, we have a LOT in common and I’m really stoked!” I

Thank you MacBook!

Thank you. I could see him being “possessive” without even knowing it. I genuinely don’t think that he wants to me be unhappy.

This totally makes sense. I also recently got a new job that has some great fringe benefits and now I have to travel a lot (and boyfriends/spouses are usually allowed to go on these work trips) so it IS possible that he’s what-iffing.

Hey fellow Jezzies! I have a quick update about my Bumble misadventures, and also need to vent about something.

You are my hero! In the short time I’ve been using the apps, I totally see what you mean. I don’t swipe right often, but when I do, it’s purely lustful and there’s definitely a type that I have. I’m also convinced that men on Bumble do not read womens’ profiles — it’s all about how we look — and the best looking guys

Thank you. As for my friend, it would have been nice to get a simple “Get it gurrrrrl!” or something like that when I showed her his photo. But I’m very thankful that my other good friend (the one who I told my plan to and FaceTimed when I arrived in the guy’s city) was extremely supportive and just wanted me to have

Thank you. And I know that you’re right. I definitely was love-bombed. I gently put the brakes on a few things he said during our first weekend together, mainly because I didn’t want to ruin the fantasy, for myself. I’d either just smile as a response or say “I don’t think that’s going to work.”

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.

Hi Jezzies, missed you guys! I’m here because I have an update about my Bumble misadventures.

Yes! I love the shout-out to Alaskan Amber. 20 years ago when I was in college in the PNW, Alaskan was one of the first craft beers I experienced. It’s always on my must-drink list when I go back to visit, since I can’t seem to find it where I live currently.

Oh I’m there, and this resonates with me right now also even though I don’t have children. I’m 40 and currently dating a man who is 10 years younger than me (and probably too good looking for me), and he gets a lot of attention from women on his Instagram page as it’s a public account. They’re not throwing themselves

I would totally visit a bar named Pumpkin Andy’s Wine Bar and Cat Palace. Glad to hear you’re doing better!!

I’m with you. I don’t visit Jezebel for the video content, and the community here in the comments section is one of the things that makes the site great. If I wanted to watch videos I’d go to another platform.
