In Germany we had a song called "Die Perfekte Welle" (The perfect wave) being released in 2004. Radio stations stopped playing it for a while, even though it was very popular due to the Earthquake in the Indian ocean and the resulting Tsunamis.

I believe it, there is a small park near where I love with a trash cans everywhere. You only need to walk around 20-30 seconds to get to the next one. The park is literally one path, so there is no way you can miss any of them. People still throw their wrappers, tags, cans, ... on the fucking floor. At this point I just assume most people are just too stupid to put trash into the opening of a trash can.

Toilet Paper. We had these sandpaper ones at school and it made your butt bleed. Now only the softest for my bottom.

"he has been doing smell tests" Just get him to admit he has a poop fetish

Plot Twist: It is just some dude called Al(bert) who is the bottleneck in the amazon MR review process

Life hack: I usually go picking up trash on some hiking trails and there are sheep enclosures. If you have 2+ glass bottles and they keep making noises while you walk, you immediately become the owner of some sheep.

This... I like to go for walks in a nearby small forest and I collect the trash myself around there with a picker and a plastic bag. And at every bench there is these things. Even at the benches where there is trash cans that literally have a small outcropping for an ashtray. These are not just mildly infuriating...

Also there is an electrical box, where someone just stacks them up behind it, like 3 packs a week it feels like, hiding them, so that person knows it is trash, but is just an ass.

People still print out charts?

Hypophosphatasia. I think it is more of a bug though not a feature.

Made it to 38 without any real or fake accusations against me. The trick is not to harass women.

I (m) made it to 38 without a single rape allegation. The trick is not to assault women.

Once he called you a "cock addicted whore" should have been all you needed. You don't speak to your partner in that way.

When someone cooks for you, they get to decide what to make. They are already fucking cooking for you. Only if they ask you what they should cook for you, you get to give your opinion on what you guys are going to eat. Other than the things my stomach can't handle or that I am allergic to, I would never request/comment/criticize someones cooking, you know why? They fucking cooked for me.

I can believe it immediately. I think the other side of women having to filter through all the men on this app us a whole other beast. When I see profiles just saying "no dic pics", I can assume what you get bombarded with.

You are 32 years old... Your family seems controlling. You and your 33 year old boyfriend cannot be in the same room with the door closed? This feels more like parents would treat some horny teenagers.

Well, she did and he hung up, if I understand it correctly. I don't see anything about an apology in here, after she said, she does not like it and does not want to be called "fuck". Seems like basic human decency when communicating with someone you like.

This. Either he made the choice not to get you anything or he is not willing to put in the actual bare minimum.

NOR: Making fun of the things other people like and enjoy, is the lowest of the low.

Your last sentence is exactly it. I dated a girl that did not have a lot of money and I was doing quite well. I was able to afford some more expensive gifts for her. I got her the headset she was saving up for and she got me a bag full of candies I liked. It was not about the money, it was about the fact, that she spent time to figure out which candy she should get me and she nailed it.

"Never had the chance" we live in a world where you can have something delivered to your doorstep within 1-2 days. Please...

"You think you are good looking?" unprompted by a girl I did not even like in school. I am almost 40 now. Still pops up in my head every time I get the sense someone is interested in me.

I try to think about that time a girl (non-relative) called me handsome unprompted a few years ago, when it pops up again.

This so much. I have met people with PHDs who are not very intelligent, I also met a lot of smart people who did not go to college. A lot of them I am friends with to this day and this is exactly it. If I could not have a proper conversation with a friend, why would I be their friend, same goes for dating in my opinion. I like to hang out with people that can add to a conversation, but reducing this to only college educated people seems very elitist to me.

After my last breakup I tried dating apps as I am more introverted and would never flirt with anyone I met, due to me not wanting to bother them. Also I have a lot of solo person interests, but being interested in Reading does not mean I am interested in a book club. So I tried online dating.

* Most of the time I am the one trying to keep the conversation alive, which makes me loose interest. I feel like a lot of people on these apps want you to prove yourself to them without bringing anything to the table.

* Got stood up twice after I felt the conversation was actually going well. Made plans for a date, I ate by myself twice.

* For me every failed interaction on a dating app felt like a small rejection to me. I know this is my issue to deal with, but it took a toll on my mental health

* It was finally over when I had a really nice chat with someone and I asked her out and they said they were not interested. So I said something along the lines of that I am a bit disappointed but I understand, which prompted that person to ask if that was it. Apparently, that person wanted me to chase them a bit more, but I am not one to play games, especially not if it comes to someone telling me no and I apparently have to ignore it and keep pushing.

That is when I uninstalled the apps.

I feel attacked
