| I'm a long-time lookie-lou on this forum. I never felt the need to add my own comment but JH's post today about the clothes she wore to the presumably paid speaking gig at the Dallas Regional Chamber caused me to SMH. I've been to dozens of their events. Wearing a leather skirt, jean jacket, and a t-shirt tied at the waist like you're about to hit the beach is not what you would expect a grown "professional" adult woman to wear to any event put on by this organization. I can't believe she's bragging about it. I happen to know that the Chamber expects even their interns who are poor college students to wear business professional clothes when they help staff any chamber event. Look at the women at the table at the back in the second picture she posted. That's how you're expected to dress, even more so if you're a speaker. I'm embarassed for her! |

| Honestly, in the picture where she is hugging the woman in red, you can spot a few different women in the background and the most professional it gets seems to be a blazer thrown over a t-shirt. I don’t think Jen’s outfit looks good at all but nothing about the event screams super professional dress. |

Tyler refers to himself as the “dad” of Shannon’s cat just a few months before he starts dating Jen. Yeah, when Tyler asked Shannon if he could date Jen, she probably said “only if you milk her for all she’s worth and never actually leave my side”. |

I’m involved in a large metropolitan regional chamber like this one and I totally agree. Dress is very buttoned up business attire. I’ve never seen anyone waltz in looking like this (especially not a guest speaker). |

Idk the chamber but I know Dallas and 🙄at her outfit. It’s way too young for her even if the audience allowed “edgy business.”
A Jean jacket is NEVER professional. For any audience. I’ve been in a professional setting 15 years and can’t recall ever seeing a Jean jacket from any speaker. She looks trashy and “try hard sexy”. If she had tucked the shirt instead of the tied up thing, and no Jean coat and wore heels instead of sandals then it could’ve been redeemable. |

VERY low engagement on the MeCourse Sex posts on FB and Insta.
The arrogance of trying to charge middle aged women about how to do sex better is mind boggling. Most women around 50 have probably had a lot more “spicey” sex than someone who was married at nineteen for 26 years years in what eventually became a largely sexless union. This sort of content is available for free all over the place if one really needs to understand where the clitoris is. |

Jen’s The Chatt surprise engagement at the concert with strangers post where Big Sis had a lunging full body hug if the poor women just trying to enjoy her moment with her new fiancé.
Jen, Big Sas is NOT going to marry you. |

The post with about the show she and Tyler went to in the Chat, sitting on the front row and the singer playing “their” favorite song. Guy in the same row proposed to his girlfriend. Jen went ape with happiness and tears. Went over and gave them one of her full frontal hugs. She said watch to the end of the video to see her over reaction, said in her best I’m so cute manner.
Definitely watch the video. It’s worth it to see Tyler rolling his eyes at the whole thing. And that was even before Jen deciding to take the spotlight. |

| She thinks she is a celebrity and it’s an honor to be hugged by her. |

Jen is the sort of person who would never do an act of kindness or charity if someone else wasn't aware of it or if she couldn't broadcast it to the world.
Something rotten in her makes her have to let everyone else know about it. Because ultimately, if she can't personally benefit from it then why do it at all? The Legacy Collective is an example. Jen plays the Queenmaker, cuts the checks, and broadcast the grant to the world. But the grant isn't coming from Jen, it's coming from hundreds of anonymous donors. All of this, of course, after a hefty cut off the top for "administrative and marketing expenses". Standard accounting rules allow her to spend donations on all sorts of barely tangential things related to the charity. For example, as she's in The Chatt right now she could have a very expensive dinner with a donor with Tyler and talk a bit about TLC and write off the meal. She can do stuff like this all day long. |

That women was like, "Okay, that's sort of weird but nice, I guess. Um, who are you?" |

Yep. The shirt is a nice, basic staple for a laid back approach to professional wear, but does anyone over their teens still knot their shirts at the waist? If she didn't want a full tuck, she could have gotten the same effect with a half tuck and looked much more on trend. Wear a bright colored blazer or maybe a suede jacket. The fact that it required so little to change it to a casual travel outfit should have been her clue! (As a travel outfit it was quite cute, even the knotted shirt looked a little better...although I still vote for a half-tuck instead.) Is this the worst thing in the world? No. And I'm not really keen on policing what women choose to wear. But I think that if we DO choose to wear certain things we have to realize that people are going to draw conclusions from our choices. |

Jen is the one filming the video. She’s not the person in the video giving the woman a hug. Jen’s hug must’ve come after she stopped filming.
The video is hilarious because it represents her relationship with Tyler so well. Jen: BABY BABY BABY OMG BABY Tyler: *eye roll* |

| Right. She’s not the hugger in the video. I just watched it and agree that Tyler’s eyeroll is more directed at Jen than the proposal. All the ‘baby’s and the intentional lowering of the camera to film his hand between her legs. 🙄 my eyes rolled too, Tyler… |
