Maybe I’m the weird one here. I mean I clearly am since I’m single and fairly disinterested in dating. But yeah I don’t know I just find it exhausting

I don’t mind relationship chatter as a way to triangulate where people are at in life or whatever but god the way it becomes the singular topic of conversation and also the way some women redirect EVERY topic back into dating. “Oh I got a new apartment” “BETTER TO BRING BOYS BACK EH”

Like do men do this? It drives me absolutely up a wall. I met this woman tonight for the first time for this expat thing and I now know her entire relationship history, including the fact that she’s now pregnant with her boyfriend of 4 months

I am trying s hard to make more friends here but I swear to god at these women’s events it’s gotta be like 80% of the convos are straight up interrogations about relationships with men. Tonight I was assured it’s not too late I still have plenty of time to find my Prince Charming

It was old man misogyny all along, those darned kids

Like listen I may be a shit lib but I’m gonna go crazy for an eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and a mimosa until the day I die

I still like brunch :(

So far I’m the only person I know from grad school who’s gotten a permanent position. Might be another after this month. But I just don’t feel like it’s right

this is gonna sound insane but I think I have something like academia survivor’s guilt

I just think a more convincing point would have incorporated something like the role new materials plays in fashion or some other actual motivation for fashion innovation. She’s just bragging about influence, not explaining importance
