General Does visiting a red-light district actually help with loneliness and lack of intimacy?

153 Upvotes

( EDIT: Thank you so much for sharing your perspectives. Some were practical, some were emotional, and some were a blend of both. Reading your responses genuinely changed how I looked at things.

I thought the world was becoming more cruel, but this thread reminded me that there are still good people out there. Some of you gave me perspectives that convinced me to reconsider my decision, and I'm grateful for that.

I won't be bringing up this question again. Thank you for taking the time to respond and helping me see things differently.)

Men of this sub, I'm curious to hear your perspectives on something.

I come from a tier 4-5 town with limited exposure to dating and socialising with women. I'm not someone who can't approach women. I've approached girls at the gym and even become friends with some of them. It's more that my social life is limited, and I can't really go out without having a reason to.

I'm 22 M and still a virgin. I've asked older women in my family for advice, and their response was to get employed first and then explore dating. I understand their point, but loneliness doesn't exactly wait for you to get your career sorted.

Lately, I've been considering visiting the red-light district around Grant Road. Part of it is curiosity, part of it is wanting to experience intimacy, and part of it is simply feeling lonely. I'm aware that people visit these places for different reasons, but I'm unsure whether it's actually worth experiencing.

I'm not looking for the usual warnings about STDs, scams or robbery. I'm more interested in the psychological side of things. Does the experience actually satisfy the desire for intimacy, or can you end up feeling just as lonely afterwards?

Men who've visited such places, seriously considered going, or decided against it, what was your reasoning? Did the experience change your perspective on sex or intimacy? And for those who chose not to go, what made you reconsider?

I'm genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives, especially from men who've experienced something similar. No moral lectures, please. I'd rather hear honest experiences than generic advice.

High Tide Traps Vehicle off Gorai-Uttan Coast in Mumbai

MUMBAI — A day at the beach turned into a near-disaster after a motor vehicle became trapped in rising sea waters near the Gorai-Uttan coastal belt, highlighting the dangers of parking on tidal flats.

According to local reports, the driver had parked the car on the shoreline during low tide. However, as the tide receded into high tide, incoming waves quickly engulfed the vehicle before it could be driven to higher ground.

If the CR can't find a permanent solution to the delays then they should start refunding tickets. Japan does this.

Discussion Moved back from Canada to Mumbai but now cannot wait to return

224 Upvotes

I moved back to India from Canada after living there for three years. I moved because I was feeling a bit homesick and felt that perhaps I was missing out on something. I was born and brought up in Mumbai, so coming back felt like the right decision at the time.

I had a good job and a good life in Canada, with nothing much to complain about. However, I am more privileged here in terms of my living situation. We own homes, my parents have a separate home, and I own an apartment in a very good locality. Considering all these factors, I decided to move back.

But after coming here, I feel that Bombay is not the same anymore. I am now considering returning to Canada next year with PR, and I am preparing for French to make that happen. However, I still find myself in two minds sometimes.

Whenever I step out, I feel like escaping. I really don't like the environment here. But when I am at home, life feels so comfortable. I have my own space, my assets, and a certain level of rootedness here.

At the same time, I am alarmed by the recent developments in Mumbai, and I personally feel that things are going to get worse. However, when I see people around me living their lives normally, seemingly unconcerned about the AQI or anything else, I start questioning myself. Maybe I am exaggerating things in my mind. Maybe things aren't as bad as I perceive them to be.

I would really like an honest opinion. If you were in my position, what would you do?

Money isn't much of a concern for me. I can rent out my apartment, and my assets in India aren't going anywhere. I can return to Canada, work there, and build my life there.

Is Mumbai really going to get worse? Should I focus completely on securing my PR and plan to leave as soon as possible, or am I letting my concerns about the city influence my decision too much?

I love mumbai. It's the city which changed me in the most meaningful ways. Realised my passion. Even slept at railway stations after missing the last train and waiting to catch the early morning. Met the kindest people and friendly cats. I fell in love with kanda bhaji pao and ate it for 3 months straight( a very serious streak). Hated the traffic every day and cursed BMC for the shittiest roads. I'm sad having to leave it's a bitter sweet moment in time for me.

General Can Mumbai Municipality clean up Bandra/Mahim Creek and make it a water front promenade?

52 Upvotes

Can the Mumbai Municipality ever take up the ambitious task of cleaning up Bandra/Mahim Creek by providing proper underground sewage, which then would be cleaned & recycled, relocate slums adjacent to that creek by building apartments for the slum dwellers and turn Bandra/Mahim Creek in to an amazing water front water front promenade , with walking paths, trees, gardens , restaurants ? Will it happen in the next 100 years may be ?

Bandra/Mahim Creek s Mithi River draining into the creek, which then empties into Mahim Bay.

General Budget friendly pet-friendly places near Navi Mumbai to escape Diwali crackers with my Shih Tzu 🐶

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I have a Shih Tzu and we live in Navi Mumbai. She gets really scared because of the loud crackers during Diwali, and I’m looking for a peaceful place where we can stay with her for 2 days during that period.
Can anyone suggest some **budget-friendly, pet-friendly stays or places within a reasonable distance from Navi Mumbai** where there would ideally be less noise from firecrackers?
Open to homestays, cottages, resorts, or any other options that are safe and comfortable for dogs. My main priority is to keep her away from the noise and help her feel less stressed.
Please share any personal experiences or recommendations, along with approximate prices if possible. TIA! ❤️🐾

General Looking for a rental house near Charkop / Kandivali for 2 months

0 Upvotes

​

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a small rental house or 1RK/1BHK near Charkop, Kandivali West, or nearby school areas for my family for a couple of months.

My daughter has recently been admitted to a school near Charkop, and her classes are starting from November. I'm currently living in Dombivli, and the daily commute is becoming quite difficult.

I'm also in the process of getting staff quarters allotted near my workplace, but the approval process is taking some time. In the meantime, I need a temporary place where my family and I can stay until the quarters are allotted.

I'm looking for:

- A 1RK or 1BHK suitable for a small family.

- A place near Charkop or within a reasonable distance from schools in the area.

- A short-term rental for around 2 months.

- A reasonable rent, preferably without a long-term agreement.

If anyone has a vacant flat, knows someone renting out a place, or can suggest any leads, please DM me.

Any genuine help or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Discussion Beware of Computech Store (Thane) Wasted 3 hours of my Sunday travelling from Malad on a classic bait-and-switch for an RX 9070 GPU

153 Upvotes

Last night (24th Oct around 9 PM) I saw the Gigabyte RX 9070 16GB listed on computechstore.in for ₹77,499 which was the lowest price compared to ₹78,500–₹79,000 at Lamington Road and other websites since it was my first time buying from them and I also needed an 850W PSU to upgrade from my 650W I decided to physically visit their Thane store instead of ordering online. Because GPU prices change daily I called them today (Sunday, 25th Oct) at 11:55 AM to be 100% sure before travelling. The guy on the phone confirmed the Gigabyte RX 9070 16GB was in stock for ₹77,499 and when I explicitly asked him to hold one card for me since I was travelling all the way from Malad and would reach by 4:00–4:30 PM, he literally told me 'Sir ok, stock mein kaafi saara hai (we have plenty in stock) and gave me directions from Thane West station. I am someone who never steps out unless necessary, especially on a Sunday, yet I travelled 1.5 hours and reached the shop at 4:00 PM sharp, only for the guy at the counter to casually quote me ₹78,999. When I told him I called at 12 PM to confirm ₹77,499 and showed him the number, he admitted it was his number, so I played the call recording right in front of his face. Instead of honouring the price his own staff confirmed 4 hours ago, he shamelessly lied that they only had 3 units at ₹77,499 which got sold out, and had the audacity to ask if I paid an advance. I told him his staff never once asked for an advance if he had I gladly would have paid it since I genuinely needed the card! Then this guy literally blames me, saying even if his staff didn't mention it, it was MY job as a customer to insist on paying an advance to book it. How the hell is a first-time buyer supposed to magically know your internal shop rules when your own staff says don't worry we have plenty in stock It is the shopkeeper's job to ask for an advance, not the customer's. He flat-out told me it was my mistake and refused to budge from ₹78,999. Even though ₹78,999 is within market rate, their pathetic attitude and zero accountability pissed me off so much that I raised my voice right there at the counter and walked out empty-handed. They wasted 3 hours of my Sunday commute from Malad to Thane and back, and I am holding off on buying a GPU for now stay far away from Computech Store if you value your time and self

respect.
