Why Male Victims of Female Harassment Are Ignored
As a guy i never thought i will have to deal with inappropriate touching from a female colleague but it happened and no one seems to want to hear about it. When men speak up about women crossing boundaries at work we are often dismissed or laughed at. Harassment isn’t just something men do to women but men can be victims too.
Why is it so hard for people to take male victims seriously?

GF salary Vs. My salary
Me and my gf have been dating for 5 years.
Back in 2020, I started my career with a package of ₹5 LPA. Over the years, I’ve reached ₹22 LPA in 2025.
She started her journey with ₹3 LPA(2020) and is now earning ₹8 LPA(2025).
We’ve been in a live-in relationship for around 2 years, and the idea was to share expenses equally. But, equal sharing never really happened.
If we go to a café she likes, especially with friends, I will pay the entire bill. We only split the house rent and grocery bills.
I told her lots of time to cut down these costly cafe expenses or earn more money, increase your package, study and work hard, but.....she is now in her comfort zone.
Being from a tech background, I have seen people upgrade their skills and package for a good life in metro cities.
I am ready to support her in her studies, but she is like I am earning enough for myself.... No, you are not.
I love her, but I don't know how to overcome this issue between us. Please suggest!

DINK (Double Income, No Kid) Couple, best investment tactic I've heard in a while🔥
Met a Bangalore couple yesterday, both 36, earning a combined ₹4.5L/month.
Here’s how they’re playing the long game:
▪️Rent: ₹40K/month for a premium pad — no EMIs, no liabilities
▪️SIPs: ₹1.5L/month → that’s ₹18L/year
▪️Gold: Buying 10g every year (~₹65K)
▪️Savings rate: 50%+ (₹2.25L+ every month saved!)
At this pace, they’re investing over ₹27L every year.
By age 50, they’ll have ₹7.5 crore+ (assuming just 10% CAGR).
And that’s without counting bonuses, hikes, or gold value appreciation.
Retirement at 50?
Not a dream.
A spreadsheet-backed plan. ✅
The only negative side is, they won't have any kids to spend this money on :(

Flatmate Issues - Need Advice!
My flatmate earns 20LPA, but I'm at 12LPA.
They're always planning expensive weekends, and I can't always join due to budget. They make me feel guilty when I don't.
Should I move out even though I don't have other friends and it'll be a financial strain? What do you guys suggest?

One of the best sources for Startup investment: DAHEJ(DOWRY)
You won't believe my senior has a good corporate job with over 10 years of experience.
But suddenly resigned just a few days after his wedding.
We all thought maybe he got married and wants to spend his time with his wife, and decided to go to his place to give him a proper farewell.
All of us got shocked after knowing that he left because his father-in-law gifted him a fat cash amount and a car in the name of "blessings."
He’s using the money to fund his startup and the car for "business movement."
I mean seriously?
People are now using dowry as startup capital and walking around acting like CEOs, playing boss with someone else’s money.
Bas, shaadi karo aur apne sapne chalu karo, courtesy sasural.
I don't know feeling inspired? Or disgusted?

Female Bosses: More Toxic Than Men?
I’ve worked under both male and female managers, and honestly, ek pattern baar-baar repeat hota hai. Many female bosses (not all) have this constant need to control everything. Micromanagement, taking feedback personally, aur kabhi-kabhi toh it feels like they’re competing with their own team.
Sabse zyada awkward tab hota hai jab unke niche koi strong female employee hoti hai. Instead of supporting, they’ll either sideline her or find faults. Kyu bhai?
We say women should lift other women, but sach bolun toh I’ve seen the opposite more often.
Male bosses have their own issues — thode detached hote hain — but at least it’s predictable. With some female bosses, it’s like walking on eggshells.
Not saying all are like this. But kab tak we’ll act like every woman in power is flawless?
You felt this too, or just me?

ChatGPT prepped me HARD for my interview!
Spent like two hours on chatgpt yesterday prepping for an interview. First, the usual, copy-pasted my resume and the job description, telling it to "upload this to your memory 'cause we are going to talk about it later". Then I grilled it with questions about stuff I didn't get in the job spec, and chatgpt helped me figure things out.
I asked it to list the four or five key things they are looking for in the role. Then I told chatgpt to quiz me with ten questions, one at a time, to help me think about how I have gained experience in those areas. After the ten questions, it gave me strengths/weaknesses and a summary.
Finally, I had chatgpt summarize each of my answers into three bullet points.
Now have got a list of stories ready to go for any interview. No matter the question, I can steer the convo toward one of these success stories.

Working Next to a Drunk Senior
i have been dealing with something at work thats really bothering me. theres a senior colleague who sits right next to me and every day after lunch he comes back clearly drunk.. red eyes, smelling of alcohol. i am 99% sure hes drinking during his break.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares but I do and honestly it’s not right. we are supposed to be in a professional environment, and this breaks all the rules but here’s the thing hes my senior and i am scared that if I say anything it will blow back on me. i dont want to get on bad terms with him.
do i just keep quiet and let this slide? because by not speaking up am I just enabling bad behavior? or do i risk everything and report it?

I earn more than my husband now… but m not sure I want to pay more of our shared bills. What would you do?
My husband and I have been together for a while five years married, even lived together before that. We've always earned about the same, so splitting expenses 50-50 made sense. Bills and savings went to a joint account, and the rest stayed personal for clothes, solo trips, and other stuff. Honestly, it worked really well.
But now things have changed I got promoted with a good hike. We’ve casually discussed switching to a proportional split, which sounds fair… but now that it’s real, m feeling conflicted.
I’ll be earning more, but also working much harder for it. covering 75% of expenses feels unfair when we’re using things equally specially since my husband works from home.
I’ve cut back on a lot no girls’ trips, no new bags, no self-care and with this higher income, I want to focus on my goals clearing debt, rebuilding savings, and enjoying life again.
But I also don’t want to be unfair. Anyone else dealt with something like this in a relationship?

I left in the middle of an interview.
M a self-taught developer. been working really hard, trying to break into tech. Two days ago, I got approached by an hr from this e learning company for an IT role. I was super nervous but also excited because it felt like maybe this is it.
The interview was on teams with 9 experienced pros all with degrees and certifications while I had no formal IT background, just self-taught skills. I felt completely out of place.
Most of the interviewers were kind and said I could learn on the job. But one person kept throwing back-to-back questions with shady comments after every answer made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. It crushed my confidence
About 10 minutes before the interview ended, I panicked. Anxiety took over, so I faked a network issue and left the call. Then I just broke down.
I didn’t want to be disrespectful, so I quickly emailed saying I got disconnected. Truth is, I was overwhelmed and felt like a total fraud.
I’ve wanted a job in tech for so long.
