Opening your front door in Florida be like:

I generally prefer guys who are shorter than I am, which works out well since I'm 6'2". That said, I honestly can't remember ever turning someone down because of their height. It's a preference, not a dealbreaker.

Opening your front door in Florida be like:

I’m sorry you’ve been having these kinds of negative experiences. I can relate in my own way. I’m personally very attracted to most Asians and I’ve definitely had moments where people reacted as if that preference was unusual or hard to understand.
I think it’s important to separate the idea of having a personal “type” from the broader issue of bias. Everyone has preferences and that’s completely natural. At the same time, those preferences don’t develop in isolation. They’re shaped, at least in part, by the culture we grow up in, the media we consume, and the stereotypes we’re exposed to over time.

I prefer to book within 12 to 48 hours of the desired time. That approach has worked very well for me. When I give more advance notice, I tend to get too many requests to change the time, which is something I simply don't care to deal with.

When I travel, I typically reach out about a week in advance, and I always have a backup plan, a couple of other providers just in case something happens with my first choice. By the way, it's never a good idea to disclose to a backup provider that they weren't your initial preference.

I’m not a Samsung user so take this with a grain of salt. As far as I know Samsung’s "Remote Unlock" via SmartThings Find (Find My Mobile) was discontinued. That said, before resigning to a full data loss, check the following:
Even if you haven't manually backed up your phone recently, Android devices often perform silent daily backups while charging over Wi-Fi. On your computer, look under Devices / Backups. Check the timestamp of the last backup. If a backup was made prior to the update, your contacts, text messages (via Samsung Messages), settings and photos (if synced to Samsung Cloud/OneDrive) are safe.
Check Google Drive and Google Photos. Log into photos.google.com and drive.google.com with the Google account associated with the phone. Go to Drive > Storage > Backups. Look for a device backup file for your Galaxy S23. If active, Google automatically backs up text messages, call history, app data, and device settings.
Try common system default PINs. When Android software updates force a lock screen on an un-PINned device, it sometimes defaults to standard initial setups or carrier-level locks: 0000, 1234 or the last 4 digits of your phone number.
Reboot into Safe Mode. A third-party security app or a corrupt update cache may be triggering the prompt. Press and hold the Power/Side Key + Volume Down until the power menu appears. Tap and hold the Power Off icon on screen until Safe Mode appears. Tap Safe Mode. If a corrupt app caused the prompt, Safe Mode may allow entry or let you try biometrics.
If none of these work, I believe there is no reliable way to recover or bypass a forgotten screen lock PIN. Samsung (and Android) encrypt the lock credentials on-device, neither Samsung Support nor your Samsung account can retrieve or reset the PIN itself.
Good luck. Hopefully one of these options gets you back into your phone. 

Good for him for advertising...but honestly...as a car guy....this in a 2 series...and not even an M2...and it's likely an Automatic...that does not send the message of Dom Top.  It says pampered bottom. He might as well be driving a Miata
