I'm a cishet guy and I'm open to dating trans women. I'd like to find a way to communicate that on a dating profile without outright saying, "I'm open to dating trans women."

Saying something like that feels a lot like saying, "I'm open to dating black women." as if trans women are somehow less than cis women and I'd be doing them a favor by dating them.

At the same time I know trans women face a lot of discrimination when it comes to dating so I'm looking for some way to signal that I'm a safe guy to approach.

Edit: It looks like identifying myself as an LGBT+ ally is a good way to indicate openness to trans relationships. It might also scare away bigots. Thank you to everyone who respon

So I'm reading a book that suggests love and respect are both important in a relationship but when push comes to shove most women will prioritize love while most men will prioritize respect. The idea that men and women, on average, approach relationships differently and have different priorities should not be a shock to anyone but this particular concept is new to me and I'd love to get some feedback on it.

I am looking to host a go tournament (go is a game similar to chess) and need a low or no cost space to do it in. I am expecting between 40-50 attendees and would like to host the tournament over the weekend.

I know the library offers free space but it's not an ideal choice since they don't open before noon on Sundays. (Quarry Park has rooms available before noon but they're not large enough.)

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I'll try to be as specific as possible so I can get the right advice:

Caucasian. Clear, mildly sensitive skin. Facial hair is medium thickness, coarseness and colour. Hair grows in straight and in a consistent, predictable direction. Daily shave required.

Current routine is to shave after showering and drying off. I apply an aerosol shaving foam by hand and shave in direction of hair growth with 3 blade cartridge razor, rinsing blade with warm water frequently, and finishing problem areas with light, gentle strokes against the grain without reapplying shaving foam. I then towel off any remaining shaving foam or loose hairs.

Issue is mild redness and irritation when shaving with a fresh ca

For example, suppose you were in a long term, monogamous relationship with a guy who told you early on that he was cf and had a vasectomy. You've both recently tested negative for STD's so you decide to ditch the condom. If he said, "You know I had a vasectomy, right? You don't need to stay on birth control." would you want him to provide you with some evidence he actually had a vasectomy?

You know what I'm talking about. You enter a battleground (no premades) look at the other players and think, "Oh good, we have a <class>. Maybe we can win this."

I love battlegrounds and I'm a team player so I want to be the guy everyone's happy to see show up.

Edit: Thanks for the input everybody! It looks like priests and holy paladins are getting the most love so I'll try em both and see which brings me the most joy. Thanks again!

I'm looking to purchase a fourplex in Saskatoon and would like recommendations for lawyers familiar with Saskatchewan real estate law who can review the offer to purchase and preform title transfer as well as home inspectors who work in the area, preferably with experience evaluating multi-units. Please note I am not looking for agents at this time.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

You have 168 hours in a week. Of those approximately 1/3 is spent sleeping giving you 112 waking hours. Household chores, exercise and basic hygiene take about 15 (at least for me) leaving you with 97 hours of disposable time each week.

If you work a 40 hour work week that's 41.2% of your disposable hours spent working not including the time cost of your commute. What's more your employer will often demand your best efforts at work meaning the quality of your remaining hours will be reduced due to stress and a lack of energy.

Just curious if anyone else has looked at their employment in this way and if it has motived your desire for FI/RE.
