Best Midtown East / Grand Central bars for freestyle dating? (Midtown vs. FiDi)

Hi everyone! I am planning a freestyle outing in Manhattan tomorrow (Thursday) and want to target the Midtown East area within walking distance of Grand Central. I’m looking to meet generous, established finance/corporate men who are open to being provider partners.My plan is to dress sophisticated/elegant and sit at the bar counter to be approachable.

A few questions for the NYC experts here:
What are your absolute favorite upscale hotel bars or lounges right near Grand Central where wealthy men actually congregate right after work?

What are the ideal times to arrive on a Thursday or Friday to catch the peak commuter/executive wave?

Is Midtown East truly better for meeting high-net-worth men compared to the Financial District (FiDi) nowadays?

Would love to hear any recent success stories or specific venue rules (like dress codes or reservation barriers) I should know about before going. Thank you!

Can a CF-SLP negotiate a Monday–Thursday schedule in a school setting?

I’m a new CF-SLP in New York and I’m currently looking for a full-time school-based CF position.

Ideally, I would like to work Monday–Thursday rather than five days per week. I’m wondering if anyone has successfully negotiated a 4-day schedule as a CF, particularly in a school setting.

I’m open to working longer days Monday–Thursday if necessary, and I’m specifically interested in maintaining full-time status/benefits if possible.

Is this something that schools are generally willing to negotiate for a CF, or is it much more realistic after completing the CFY?

Also, if you work a 4-day school-based schedule, what does your schedule/hours look like and what type of employer do you work for?

Schools in New York

Do schools in New York offer licensure reimbursement, ceu coverage or whatever it’s called, to pay for your materials?

If so how do I go about asking the school who do I email or ask?

SLPs working 3×10s as full-time — where do you work and what are your benefits?

I’m a new SLP in NY and I’m trying to figure out what my options could look like after my CF.
Has anyone here successfully negotiated or found an SLP job where they work 3 days × 10 hours (ideally 8 AM–6 PM) and are still considered full-time?

I’m especially interested in:
What setting do you work in? (hospital, outpatient, private practice, home health, SNF, etc.)

Pediatric or adult population?

What state?

Are you W-2/salaried?

How many hours does your employer consider full-time?

Do you receive health, dental, vision, 401(k)/403(b), PTO, etc.?

Do you receive a pension?

Is your salary prorated for 30 hours, or do you receive the full posted full-time salary?

Were you hired specifically for 3×10, or did you negotiate it after being hired?

I’d especially love to hear from anyone in NY/NJ/CT. I know 3×10 is uncommon for SLPs, but I’ve seen people mention doing it, so I’d love to hear real experiences!

Shera Seven Notes on how to get a man to impress you

I decided to start taking notes in my Notes app on Shira seven’s videos. Here’s one of my first ones. Let me know what you think. I watched the whole thing and took notes on some of the dialogue. She said in conversation that can happen and the import stuff

Shera Seven how to make a man want to impress you Notes

Your looks are enough to impress the man
Be soft and femine what they am teach u
Never step in and try to impress e man ever during the conversation
If they ask u a question their hoping ur response is never as impressive as theirs
“Oh my gosh he life is so exciting it must be friends with you or it must be fun to hang out with u” an invitation for them to ask u out
Don’t tell him where u went even if u went somewhere better don’t tell him
Allow them to think their impressing u and they will want to impress u more
If they expect u to impress them switch it “what r u doing here “
U say oh im just out for revenant having a drink when they ask what do u do say the mote important question is what is that point out something on him like justice or shoes
Being too nice is a turn off
Don’t have to tell him what u do ur focused on him ur touching then tie and ur engaged in him now ur directing his looks ur directing him in the direction
U must do something professional if u gotta wear a tie
So he’s like yea and tell u ab his job
U say oh wow ur so smart idk if ill ever be able to do a job like that
And if he asks what u do say right now I do a lot of things it’s mostly free Lance I mostly work from home
Be vague say I do a little bit of everything
Shift convo to More importantly Whst is good here to eat
He may pay for it to impress u even more
Say I never know what to order I don’t come here that often is this good
Get him to lean in on the menu w u
Say oh I don’t know when he suggest it
Ok I’ll try that maybe he’ll say go ahead and order it I’ll pay for it then order that and order what u really want
Then say I got something else in case I don’t like it
Now he’s trying to impress u
If on phone u can say I know ur that kind of guy that does abc
And they live up to this expectations bc their trying to get in ur pants
“Oh u seem like the kind of man that’s gonna sweep me off my feet taking me to lavish dinners and shopping’s etc u seem like that kind of Man and oh my gosh I been waiting for someone like u U r so smart and funny can’t wait to spend more time with u it’s gonna be great it’s gonna be awesome”
This is how u get rid of them quick or strike it lucky
Tell them what they r it’s power of suggestion they dont wanna disappoint u especially if u look good
Their gonna say well i am that kind of man I love to spoil
Some men will say well I had a ben used before best then to the punch that way now they just don’t
Come out the bat expecting them to spend money bc u know you’ll never be w them without it
Hi I like the way u look do I wanna meet me sometime
Hi I know u wanna take me touch and such restaurant I can’t wait to go I never been urs gonna be so great it’s gonna be an experience I can’t wait to go
If they counteract w just drinks say oh they have drinks there we can have drinks before we eat play stupid and dumb
“Idk if I’ll be able to do a full dinner “ don’t worry I heard they have quick service
Just keep going back
If they make the date say oh great r u gonna a make reservations so I plan on being their on time
Then say I’m so happy ur such a breath of fresh air u jus make me wanna smile u really made my day u don’t even understand ur such a gentleman ur so different from everyone I really canyy wait tto see u click +
Get him hooked on a date before he get a word in ab being used
Create this reputation that he’s a provider he’s gonna rolll w it so really what ur doing is getting what u need use this technique first before they get a chance
They’ll be to embarrassed to live down what y made of them
If they try to say I been used say MORE IMPORTANTLY ur taking me touch such and such lace bc ur taking me there this Friday night and we’re gona have such a good time
Oh really how ab drinks
Oh yes we’re gonna drink a lot but not too much but yes they have drinks there baby and I can’t wait to see u
Ur directing the conversation giving them a false sense of impressing u being too nice is being a doormat bc their directing the convo
Want to get more ? Ask them to help u w down payment to a csr present a emergency situation where u took an uber and almost got kidnapped u need to get a new car I think they want 5,000 now I’m so scared pls help w this down payment
U don’t ask u to tell them
Always do extra allow them to feel like their impressing u and saving u
Don’t bring another man into a conversation bc he’ll think ur dating other men and then he’ll think he doesn’t wanna risk his commitment on u
Just say it’s a gift from someone u don’t have to give a name or identity let them think what they want
Mention u like jewelry , have good expensive taste so they can’t present crap to u “I like gift csrfd, I love shopping
If guy keeps asking wyd say oh waiting on u to take me out on a date idk what r udoing ?” Waiting on someone to ask me out this weekend waiting out on someone to offer me a lunch date what r u doing ?
Don’t be afraid to tell pl or direct ppl Ina feminine seductive way their not gonna say no it’s that easy go into the game w seductively and sexiness
Go into it w How u speak act and what they think they may be getting into
If on vacation get separate rooms always 2 rooms have ur own room period
Talk in that baby voice get whatever u want
43 is too young even at 21/22
Don’t talk much bc u self sabatoge just keep asking them questions
Young men can’t afford nothing
Other ways to get a man to talk to ufreestyling besides I lost my earring can u help
Ask another question do uk where the nearest pharmacy is something something use ur imagination it’s that easy
Just get old men thinking ab their older days
If they ask y marriage say in order to get married for them ur list you’ll consider marriage on that list is car, large amount in savings for ur own savings account, name on the deed for house or whatever, don’t wanna work anymore provide for me fully I need u to start paying my bills today so I can seee if you’ll be a good husband and provider
Some men will say marriage bc they wanna sleep w u do let them meet ur list first
“I don’t invest in women unless she’s wife “ bye I don’t invest in men unless he my husband not investing into u until u invest in me
sex is never automatically on the table use it as false hope to get what u want
Not marrying someone who not paying no bills need to see what he can do first financially is he gonna be stingy w money is he gonna invest in u?
Love is transactions bc men r ruled by sec when u give the sex ur giving them a transaction that they didn’t even pay for
Get some money shopping go on a bunch of dates get money and time spent on u dinner dates do not count bc he’s getting the experience and eating too
Get a man to do what u need him to do requires u to tell him what u need him to do
Get them in chase mode by having ur own life and not bugging them by having a place to go to and things to do they’ll chase u if u stay busy don’t ever start cooking and cleaning don’t be the predictable woman and they will always have to chase
Brag ab him in front of other ppl when he’s in ur presence has to be unexpected I.e say I am so happy man does abc he is so great r so great and I just appreciate everything he does for me
A compliment in front of other ppl is just enough don’t buy him dhit
Don’t ask tell
For my bday ur getting me a channel purse and taking me to the dealership there
Then say and that’s all I want and nothing else now he had to do it
That way he has to do it
Now he has to do that and live up to u
For my bday ur getting me a Chanel purse and getting me the car I want and putting a down payment on it I know u like seeing me happy I can’t wait for my bday ur the eat thank u so much ur the best I can’t wait in so excited
Now u can at least negotiate now the convo begin
Never help a man ur just helping them get to the next women
Better to be alone than w a dusty
Don’t be tha typical wife never be or look like the safe choice
Still look sexy CLASSY
If they have money they less likely to take advantage cuz they can get some somewhere else
HOW TO STAY SAFE:
U can come out straight the bat telling him this is what it is and what it’s gonna be
Don’t have to ride in a car w them u can meet them places don’t let them know where u live
If it’s meeting in public places ur safe
Less u tell the better the safer y r never tell them where u r
Get a P.O. Box for gifts
They r Less likely to be creepy if in public
Work on getting ppl to do something for u by power of suggestion
Look like what u want to attract , get ur speech together, get ur wardrobe together where clothing that looks like ur w someone of means
If he wants arm candy say id love to go on a trip but I need something’s first suggestion shopping or else trip is off
How to end convo if freestyle and man trying to impress u grab his hand look him in eye say it is so nice taking to y im so glad we met I hate to leave right now I was having such a good time I have to wake up early in the mkrbj y hold his hand let him ask u for number then get out
If he wants to get hotel don’t care what he wants to do u want to go shop in always our something in front kt jt that y want to do first
BE enticing be seductive but classy be dripping in finesse play it like he’ll never meet anyone like y this is his last chance and only chance don’t be like everyone else
Make him feel like a bug strong man by saying ur ac broke u need money and he saved u he’s ur hero don’t ask for cheap money like hair and makeup
TO GRT NAME ON HOUSE BUY HOUSE TOGETHER DONT PAY ANYTHING BE WT THR CLOSING WND SIGN THE DEED AND ASK WHEN R ER GOINT TO SIGN THE DEED
GO IN EXPECTING IT LIJE THEY EXOECG SEX IS ONTBE TABKE
IF THWH ASK WHAT DO U BRING TK TBR TABKE BESIDES SEX SAY WHAT DO U BEING TO THR TABLE BESIDES NAME ON GHE DEED
SLEEP W HIM WHEN THEY INVESTED SM THAT IF TEHY GHODT H U ACTUALLY WIN BC Y GOTTRN DO MUCH before even giving it up to then
DONT HAVE SEX AT THIRD DSTE THWY NEWD TO INVEST THOUSANDS $$$$) IN U TRIPS SHOPPING MONEY ETC BEFORE Y GET SEXUAL w them
U don’t do anything but look GOOD ur best for him look so good y can leave at anytime and replace him at anytime always level up
Ur looks and his fear of u leaving is enough support and should motivate him enough to make more money to impress and give to u
Never baby a man or be his mother
Never play fair in an unfair world
How to get him to commit
Just tell him u his gf and start treating him like he ur bf
“U know ur my bf right “ pause see his response
Look so good look to good for him that’s all
Never do business w a man or give a man money never mix business w pleasure
Ur supposed to look better than him always look out of his league
Always have multiple a roster of & least 3 men w money paying
Men don’t wanna spend money on stupid stuff I should be able to handle that’s why lie ab what u need money for tell him it’s what u need not want if he doesn’t help he leaves u in a vulnerable situation harder for him to say no
Lie ab what the money is for
Don’t listen to family members they don’t have in put in ur business id it benefits y and it pays all ur bills then it’s good enough for u
On dates men don’t care ab no communication get their attention don’t talk too much they want a energy exchange flirting is an energy exchange
Body movement and language be extra flirty move around make eye contact
Freestyle at bar for one hour max
Don’t look like ur desperate or waiting look like hr already having fun attracting not looking at door acting like this drink is so good I love this song be out there just having fun let them approach
Smile and not looking like a sad look like ur already having fun and been approached ten times and they’ll come over

CF considering EI—do you really have to be super animated all day? ⭐

I’m about to start my CF and I’m trying to figure out what setting would be the best fit for me. I like the idea of EI because of the flexibility and being able to make your own schedule. My ideal would honestly be a 4-day work week.

One thing I’m worried about is that I’ve heard EI can be very play-based and requires you to be really animated all day. I know this might sound like a weird concern, but I don’t love making exaggerated facial expressions all day. Part of it is that I just don’t naturally have that level of energy, and part of it is because I’m trying to take good care of my skin and avoid unnecessary facial movements since I want to minimize wrinkles over time.

For those of you who work in EI, do you really have to be super animated all day long? Is that expected, or can you still be an effective therapist with a calmer personality and a more natural communication style?

I’d especially love to hear from introverted or lower-energy SLPs who work in EI. How draining is it, and do you feel like you have to “perform” all day?

Sculpt You App before update 💜

I logged into sculpt you app through Safari and recorded the classic version of the app still available there. Seeing it again reminded me why I loved it so much before the update.
The old version had:
● a simple, clean layout and easy navigation
● structured intermediate and advanced gym programs
● easy logging for weights, reps, and sets
● automatic progressive overload
● programs that changed every 4 weeks
● an actual strength-program feel

I’m not saying the new features should be removed, but I really wish the classic version was brought back as an option. The old app felt more organized, more motivating, and way more useful for lifting.

Anyone else want the sculpt you app before the update back too????

Anyone else miss the old Sculpt You app?

I’ve been a lifetime Sculpt You member for years, and I wanted to see if anyone else feels the same way.

These screenshots are from the previous version of the app before the redesign.

What I loved about the old app:
• The layout was clean, simple, and easy to navigate.
• The gym programs were structured for intermediate and advanced lifters.
• The workout split changed every 4 weeks, so training never felt repetitive.
• The reps and sets automatically changed each week to progressively overload you, making it easy to build strength without having to program everything yourself.
• Logging weights, reps, and sets was fast, visual, and motivating because you could clearly track your progress over time.

I completely understand that the new app was built to support more goals and offer more flexibility, and I appreciate the work that went into it. For me personally, though, the old version felt like a true strength-training program, while the new version feels less structured.

I’d love to see Sculpt You bring back an optional “Classic” strength program with the original progressive overload system and workout tracking. I think it would make longtime members really happy while still keeping all of the new features for those who enjoy them.

Am I the only one who misses this version, or would anyone else like to see a Classic Sculpt You option return?

A Classic Sculpt You program would bring back the original app experience that many longtime members loved.

Specifically:
Simple layout: The old app was clean, easy to navigate, and made it quick to find your workouts and log your lifts without extra complexity.

Structured gym programs: Programs were designed for intermediate and advanced lifters with a clear plan to follow rather than feeling like individual workouts.

Automatic progressive overload: Like the old monthly challenges, the app automatically adjusted reps and sets each week so you were consistently progressing without having to plan it yourself.

4-week training blocks: The workout split changed every four weeks, which kept training fresh while maintaining a structured progression.

Easy workout tracking: Logging weights, reps, and sets was visual and straightforward, making it easy to compare previous
workouts and see your strength improve.

Strength-focused programming: The emphasis was on progressively getting stronger over time, with workouts that built on one another.

When I say I’d love a ‘Classic Sculpt You’ option, I don’t mean removing the new app. I mean bringing back the original experience as an optional program—the simple layout, structured 4-week gym programs, automatic weekly progressive overload like the old challenges, and the easy workout tracking that made it so motivating to build strength.

The Sculpt You app Update⭐

I’m a lifetime Sculpt You member, and I honestly miss the old app so much.

The original app was what made me invest in a lifetime membership. It was simple to navigate, easy to track my lifts, and the gym programs felt like actual strength-training programs. I loved that they were built around progressive overload, changed monthly, and encouraged lifting heavier while still following a structured plan. I always knew what I was doing, could easily see my progress, and felt motivated to keep improving.

I’ve really tried to give the new app a fair chance. I’ve spent time exploring it and wanted to like it, but it just hasn’t clicked for me. I find it much harder to navigate, and it doesn’t give me that same structured, progressive lifting experience that made Sculpt You stand out. Because of that, I honestly don’t find myself using it as much anymore.

Am I the only one who feels this way? I would absolutely love if they brought back the old workout format or at least offered it as a “classic” option alongside the new app. I feel like a lot of longtime members would appreciate having that choice, especially those of us who joined because of the original programming and workout experience.
