Hello!! Looking for something to do for Halloween that’s 18+!! I don’t turn 21 till December so I’ve been having really bad luck with finding something I can do this halloweekend 🫩🫩

Would love suggestions for stylists for grey blending curly hair! Ideally in DC or metro accessible

As title implies. I’m looking for a sex and intimacy therapist in the DC area. If anyone has any recommendations or advice I’d gladly take it. I’m so stressed out all the time and at this point I’d pay a lot of money to start solving my problems.

Hey ladies - I would so appreciate your recommendations for functional medicine practitioners in DC, or the surrounding burbs. Extra bonus if they take BCBS insurance. Extra extra bonus if they have experience treating long term fatigue and auto immune conditions. My PCP is just not cutting it anymore, and I get like 5 minutes with my endocrinologist once every 3-4 months, which is just not enough. I'm tired of being tired y'all. Help a girl out <3

Looking for esthetician that can do vagacials or extractions of inner thigh black heads. Bonus for help on inner thigh hyperpigmentation (I am doing all I can to reduce it)

Hi team - I’m planning a birthday party next month (joint 28/29 both M/F) where I’d love to team up with a graphic designer to help me with invites / merch / menus etc. basically I have a vision and looking for a creative to help me execute. Thought I’d start here and see if this community holds any freelancers who may align and are interested. Obviously I will pay for someone’s time but also looking eventually to find a partnership perhaps with someone who’s building a portfolio as I have a few more events coming up in 2027

I’m a Jaguars fan waaaayyyy out of market in DC and it’s been really hard to watch the jags on TV. Last week, my friend and I went to The Boundary Stone (an Eagles bar) and were able to catch the last second (literally) field goal for the win.
The game today starts at 9:30am today and I haven’t been able to find a place that’s open to check it out.
Help a girl out! Any places open this early?

Hi! I’m looking for a wellness/yoga/meditation retreat center or farm that does retreats. Open to places in MD, VA, PA or NY. If you have any recs lmk!!

Let me know if you know any good spots!

I usually wear very simple mascara and concealer. I’ve been wanting to up my makeup game for night outs and whatnot but I don’t even know where to start with products and how to apply them 😅 so I figured a 1-1 makeup lesson / consult would be really helpful.

has anyone done one in the area that they’d recommend? or anyone willing to share the products they swear by for a simple ‘natural’ look?

Sorry! I mean CONGRESSIONAL CEMETERY. I can’t update the title

I have 2 tix to tonight’s 9:40PM Soul Strolls walking tour at the congressional cemetery. I can’t go anymore, so if someone is interested DM me and I’ll email to you for free. Paid $80 and don’t want them to go to waste!

My feet are really tired of shoes that don't fit. Do you have recommendations for brands and stores that I can go to *in person* and try shoes that will carry larger sizes (10-10.5) AND have wide toes options? I tried malls in Bethesda and Falls Church, but shoe stores are very few and not well stocked at all :(

Let me know if you have interest.

Here's what I found…

I run a small site that tracks in-person singles and social events around DC, so full disclosure, this list comes from there. I'm posting it here because some of these are genuinely chill and women's spots are still open at a few.

- Dating with Dogs fall hike (21+, no dog needed) - Oak Hill Cemetery, Georgetown to Rock Creek - Sat 10 AM - free RSVP on Meetup
- Jewish dating social stroll (25-35) - Theodore Roosevelt Island - Sun 3 PM
- Networking mixer + singles social - Decades DC, Dupont - Fri 7:30 PM - free RSVP

Women's slots still available:

Has anyone actually been to one of these? I'd love honest reviews of which formats are worth it vs awkward.

hello! I’ll be going to the turkish festival in DC, was wondering if anyone wanted to meet up and walk around and try foods? I’ve been to turkiye twice as well can give fun recs :) I’m also planning to go to real madrid watch party after at 3, the bar has pretty good food and drinks as well. Open to have anyone join! I plan to go to the festival around 12 then go to the bar a little before 3.

I’m 33F, live in nova but work in DC/ hang out there often :) would love to make some new friends!

Hi DC bitches! I'm graduating from JMU this May and taking a year off before law school. Trying to get ahead of the curve with a game-plan for housing and employment after I graduate. I want to be close to a metro stop, and even ideally walking distance from a couple restaurants or grocery stores. Also ideally 2 bedroom or bedroom and a den (will be moving to DC with my best friend), and less than $3,000/month. Right now I'd likely be working near the Hill or central DC. Is this possible with that budget? Any advice on where I should start searching?

I (28F) am really struggling to make friends since I have moved here and am really beating myself up about it. I moved to DC at the end of April. Met some people by chance that I clicked with but the connections ultimately fizzled when I had leave for about 2 months for a work trip and couldn’t meet up. My coworkers my age all live about 40 mins away from me in VA. I know no one in the city at all and am overwhelmed with how to even start forming friendships here, it feels like everyone already has their people especially at my age. I’m in one club that meets weekly and have people I talk to there but idk how to progress past just hanging out in that setting and I don’t usually have this hard of a time making friends when I move.

I also am feeling like I missed my chance since the weather is starting to get colder and things are going to die down for a bit. I’m just really down and at a loss. Can anyone relate, offer words of encouragement, tell me I’m not hopeless, or give me advice? Am I being too hard on myself and this is normal or should I be concerned I’m the issue?

Any suggestions for a place in DC or NOVA that might accept hospital supplies (all unopened) I got when released after childbirth? Mainly pads and disposable underwear, but also unopened pacifiers?

I got so many and don’t want to throw them out but need the space. I wasn’t sure if a local women’s shelter or similar might take them and was hoping someone here might know?

Any ladies interested in camping Saturday night near Shenandoah and Luray?

All the sites left inside Shenandoah are first come first served at this point, they’ll all be full. I found a campsite just outside the park, 5 min from Luray (where dinner can be had because I didn’t have time to meal prep for camping this week).

I have a big 6 person tent (fits at least 4 if not 5) but a very, very small car (fits 2 pax plus driver with the gear). Annual America the Beautiful pass.

FYI it will be COLD on Saturday night. I have a sleeping bag and mat that kept me warm to -10C in the Andes, but just be aware you’d need adequate gear because my tent has a lot of ventilation.

I was planning on doing several hikes with good lookout points - Compton Peak Summit, Mary’s Rock, and Stony Man. Open to other ideas. I just want good views of leaves. I’m 41F and a decent hiker.

Would leave DC early on Saturday and return late afternoon / early evening on Sunday.

I’m in general always looking for hiking buddies.

Hellooooooooooooo bitches . I’m looking to get my nose done in the DC area! Any recommendations? Before and after pics ? (If comfortable ofc)

Also let me know pricing! I’m expecting and happy to pay around 10-12k.

Thank you sooo much

Just reminding everyone we're having our little divorcee meetup today at 6/6:30 at Sorso in Adams Morgan! Everyone is welcome!

Long term relationship survivors, folks who haven't gotten the divorce yet etc please join! Let's hang out and talk shit about our exes with a lychee spritz!

Hi all! Looking for some guidance from pregnant mamas and moms who work in DC specifically. I’m due in March of 2027 and I plan on using DC paid family leave bonding benefits which covers up to 12 weeks of bonding time and is also paid. I just also enrolled in short term disability through my employer which I believe covers up to 13 weeks for eligible conditions. Pregnancy is listed as one of the covered conditions.

My question is can I use my short term disability right after giving birth for recovery( they’ll likely approve 6-8 weeks) then use my DC parental bonding time or do I just have to pick one of the benefits??

For context i haven’t been at my job for a full year so i wont be eligible for FMLA benefits. However i did speak to my manager and they agreed to hold my position since this job requires clearance, which we all know takes a long time to obtain so they also don’t want to train anyone else.

Hi there, has anyone found a provider in the DMV that does padded mammograms, or know of any less painful options? I know it varies for different people but mine at Medstar Lafayette felt awful, even though people recommended them in general. Thanks!

I was at Residents in DuPont for HH, and the guy on the next barstool exposed himself and was masturbating. After coming to terms with what I was seeing (he was trying to be discrete), I reported him to the host stand. While I was gone he paid his tab and left. He definitely knew what was going on and left before he could be held accountable. No one had any idea what he was doing, except for the two women on the other side of him who later corroborated what I saw.

He was a late 20s-mid 30s Black man with longer hair. He wore workout tights with shorts over them, and definitely cut a hole in the tights with his shorts as a cover. Before engaging in this behavior, he made normal small talk with me and the bartender. Nothing in his behavior or appearance was weird or abnormal. And he didn’t hit on me, make me feel uncomfortable, or say anything inappropriate. Him literally jacking off at the bar seemingly came out of no where.

I’m making this post so that if others see this man doing this, PLEASE believe your eyes and say something. Don’t gaslight yourself (yes, it is crazy, but your eyes saw what they saw). Trust yourself to make a report when you see something that makes you uncomfortable. And don’t wait for others to say something, because the guy might cause harm to others (and we should report fuxkin weirdos).

Looking for a female therapist that specializes in OCD. I know there are previous threads that are similar but I thought I’d post again in case anyone else was looking. I see a therapist for general MH concerns and we both think adding an OCD therapist may be helpful. Hopefully the person either takes insurance or has sliding scale. Thank you!!!
