Just saying “hey” as an opening line on Bumble and letting the guy do all the work completely eliminates the point of the app. C’mon ladies, get creative. Either find something in his profile you can say/ask something about (guys, PLEASE put at least a little effort into your profile so we have something to work with) or have a go-to question that can spark conversation. One I’ve had a lot of success with is asking someone if they prefer crunchy or creamy peanut butter. It’s a hilariously controversial question so you’ll either bond over your shared love of the same kind or kick off your conversation with a flirtatious fight over who is right. (Crunchy. The right answer is always crunchy.)
Also if you want to keep up with the workouts but don’t want to pay to upgrade you can find all the daily workouts on reddit at r/orangetheory and do them on your own.
Unlimited is worth it for me because I got in at the founder’s rate. It works out to about $9-12 a class depending on how often I go. I just overheard them trying to sign up a new person though and it was about $40 more than what I pay a month which I would probably not be willing to pay. I would recommend to keep your eye out for new studios opening up in your area and then sign up for unlimited as a founding member.
Orange Theory is amazing. I’ve been going 4-5 days a week for about a year and a half. I’m always confused when guys say it’s “for chicks” because there are actually a lot of totally jacked dudes in there. Sometimes so many that I can’t focus on my own workout.
Another cheap ass thing I’ve noticed that baby boomers do is use coupons/gift cards on their meals and then only tip on the remaining total and not the original total of the meal. Total dick move.
My building holds in heat extremely efficiently and my neighbors all apparently like it warm because I have to close my windows and turn on the AC if it gets above like 55 outside. It’s ridiculous.
I strongly disagree. If they’re my friends I want them on my side with me on my wedding day. I also don’t subscribe to the whole putting your SO’s siblings in your wedding party just because they’re family. Give them another important job to do at the wedding but I would never force my future husband to include one of my family members in his groomsmen.
I always joked that I was the son of the family because I had to mow the lawn, shovel snow, help with the cars, move furniture, etc. and my sister never had to do any of it.
I’ve never been a big fan of boyfriends buying me things. When I’ve been in relationships we’ve usually agreed to only buy each other experiences (i.e. concerts, trips, couples massages, other activities we could do together).
Wait… there are people out there who actually pay their amenity fees? I’ve always been able to negotiate and get mine waived. Sucks to be you, I guess.

Yeah this is how it is for the 3G (3 group) classes. The 2G classes will have longer running and floor weights blocks with rowing mixed in.

We have a separate group chat without the friends who think they’re too good for bathroom humor. It’s literally just called “Poo Pals *poop emoji*”
How did you leave “Did Caesar live here?” off The Hangover list. Someone says that literally every time I go to Vegas.
Peanut allergies are grounds to kick someone out of the friend group. Just sayin’

You’re right. I forgot boys can only be friends with boys and girls can only be friends with girls.

Not even exaggerating this article reminded me I have to go online to renew my renter’s insurance.
why doesn’t this have more upvotes?
But… but… It wouldn’t have been downtown if it wasn’t the Capitals…

It’d work on me.

Are you aware that the game is in DC tomorrow…? There won’t be another watch party at the arena until next Thursday for game 5.
