It’s the best way to increase your income. Value is arbitrary. Gotta learn how to play the capitalism game.

I would rather them throw away my resume only to see me on the job later and try to poach me so I can turn around like "yeah but you didn't want me when you needed me"

I honestly just let them come to me and keep fishing till a good number comes in I like.

ain't that life tho? once you're "hot" they call come out the woodwork like they always knew it even if they were the ones who rejected you 100x

SF Bay Furs

06 August 2026 00:59

Yeah agreed. All the people I’ve been compatible with already dating :p.

But at least I can take care of myself with my job. I can at least technically live without a partner. Health insurance and income? Less so

I’ve been a hired gun ever since last year. Luckily, I’m in with a really good company and they might make me an FTE. Here’s hoping.

thankfully my industry hasn't been purged by slop yet

I'm job hunting right now it's beyond soul crushing

Ok thanks that’s reassuring

SF Bay Furs

God no omg 💀. I had maybe 6-7 drinks or so over a few hours yesterday which is definitely more than I usually go for, but I’ve never been able to drink THAT much lol

Already downed two bottles plus some magnesium and potassium supplements. But yeah I had the same thought.

Tbh you might be onto something big with the meal, hadn’t considered that. I didn’t eat really well yesterday and I haven’t eaten today either.

It’s silly how much people will hire/keep you on just based on looks/how you communicate.

Learn how to do options trading. It’s like gambling but classier

SF Bay Furs

06 August 2026 01:01

Yup I'm just doing that now. And asking lots of questions

SF Bay Furs

06 August 2026 01:01

I’m gonna find a partner for sure, so I try not letting the dating market get on me. In the meantime I’m holding onto my career like there’s no tomorrow. Cuz as long as I have a career and I keep up in the dating market

SF Bay Furs

06 August 2026 01:00

But enough about your male modeling career 🤪

SF Bay Furs

06 August 2026 01:00

I'm not applying anymore only taking calls when they reach out to me. Much better results.

We all know AI is a grift except in like as a tool, but the power requirements alone and the public backlash is really heating up.

SF Bay Furs

06 August 2026 00:58

It’s so crazy. No one calls you when you are looking for a job, but once you have one recruiters never stop calling.

SF Bay Furs

06 August 2026 00:57

dating sucks most of the time because all the worthwhile ones are already taken, job market sucks most of the time because it's unrelentingly toxic

SF Bay Furs

06 August 2026 00:56

The job market vs the dating market fighting over which is more agonizing.

I definitely dislike the latter more but the former is objectively worse 💀

SF Bay Furs

06 August 2026 00:56

Plus they laid off like 700k " due to ai" so.. ya

SF Bay Furs

06 August 2026 00:55

updating resume is so tedious >.>

SF Bay Furs

05 August 2026 19:45

Well, not with THAT attitude! :)

05 August 2026 19:44

I read "already downed two bottles" and just assumed you meant vodka or something.

SF Bay Furs

05 August 2026 19:43

And have a proper meal
