Hot yoga (105°/50%humidity) is my main form of exercise. No weights or resistance training, just hot yoga 6 days a week. I (41F) recently read that creatine can be an important supplement for women to add into their diets just as it is for active men… however, like much of women’s science, there’s less research around it for us as there is for men.

For those of you who do hot yoga as your only or primary form of exercise, do you take it? Have you noticed measurable benefits in definition, stamina, and concentration? Have you had to increase your water intake even further?

Any insight is appreciated!

This past weekend, I (41F) went to a bar to watch FIFA with a couple friends and ended up sitting next to a really kind man. He and I chatted quite a bit during our time beside one another. He did not ask for my number (which, to his credit, the friends I was there with are two very tall and handsome men. The man I was conversing with is at least 10 years my senior and on the shorter side. And given that we were all seated at the bar, there was not much room for privacy), he did however make a point of telling me the throughout our conversations other places he hangouts and frequents, what street he lives on, as well as his first name… which is rather unique.

I ended up finding him on Instagram. My question is whether it’s strange or inappropriate to send him a follow request (both of our IG’s are private) and see what unfolds from there.

For context further, I’m very rusty when it comes to dating. This is the first I’ve been truly single since I was 25, so sliding into someone’s DM’s is totally foreign to me… I’ve never so much as made an online dating account. I have no idea how things work now and so much has changed since I was last single and met people simply by showing up in public, putting out some vibes, and hoping for the best.
