Yes especially the cleaning fees when you still get a full list or chores to complete and they still manage to complain to you that you didn't leave X clean enough. Like what is the cleaning fee for???
I also have a lot of questions after reading this! I’d like to give extra love to Viv Chen who is really one of my favorite people on SS. I wonder what it means that I’m in an older demographic 🤔 in any case, I’m happy to be here!
Vulnerable response on why people aren’t dating (I also went on 1 maybe 2 dates this summer)—dating apps have killed dating. They take a lot of fun out of it, and catfishing is so real. I see a lot of pros from them but at the end of the day I think the cons overpower. I actually found myself talking to a lot more strangers this summer than last summer (at bars, neighborhood clubs, etc) but not dates. I’m 27 and it feels like a weird age where 1/4 my friends also here in NYC are getting engaged to long term partners and 3/4 my friends are some level of super single to casually dating (in my boat).
this is so interesting. thanks for sharing!!! the last time I was on the apps was in college, pre covid and the vibes from what I hear were so different. sometimes I think about whether I would have swiped right on my partner- he's so bad at taking pictures. I'm 25, so not far behind you, and I feel that in my friend group as well. also have loads of friends that want to be in a relationship but have completely sworn off apps but are finding it so hard to meet people IRL as well!
Hotels > AirBnBs, maybe because fees have gotten outrageous!

agreed. too much hassle with too much that can go wrong.
