I’ve met women who can turn a man gay too. :)

Its just people and sometimes they are awful, sometimes they are great.

Culture also varies a lot in different countries or different regions even, and therefore also people and how they act and feel. It’s quite possible you would vibe a lot better with men in another country. Something fresh and interesting and not so god damn boring. :)

I like Italian women for example, full of life. But not when they become fat. That’s a big issue for me personally and it just kills attraction.

I think taking care of the body is essential, and if you don’t, it will look like crap when you get older. I go to the gym and lift weights and its absolutely necessary to stay fit, in combination with eating food that is good for the body.

To me it varies by age group.

Women are the prettiest in their 20-30th and men are their best looking in their 30th-50th. Men gain a lot of character by aging a little bit.

Its also common that women are attracted to older men, and men are attracted to younger women.

Seems natural and driven by biology.

Working as intended.

I bought a new car from 2023, looks like I really dodged a bullet.

Its just insane how used we are now to being on camera everywhere. Even in our own cars???

Yeah those people can be super frustrating, and they also enjoy playing games, acting not so subtle superior sometimes. Its common that they are assholes, but not always.

I didnt, no. It was devops, building infrastructure for stuff the company wanted to do. End users would just connect to databases and use sql for their analytics.

So yeah not public tech support, more like building tech environments for analytics.

You are not alone, I think probably 10 people said something similar.

Haha :)

I’m 50 and I worked in tech until very recently, so yeah, age is not the problem there. It’s just that they have no interest at all in it.

I guess its like me trying to learn a language, something I find very frustrating. I would take any shortcut I could to avoid any struggle, because I just want the end result, not the journey. :)

Yeah that’s a well known behavior and it’s simply understood of course. Those people just dont see that others are smarter since they think they are wrong instead.

You have to be careful with internet iq tests too, they generally give you a very high score to make you feel good. :)

But sure, everything is possible. You could have autism and be super good at pattern recognition and be poor at coordination tasks for example.

Yeah. Its actually true what you said that getting a C means you don’t really understand the content, although I haven’t thought about it that way before. But its true.

I agree with you actually about everything. It is very hard to capture a person’s intelligence with a single number like we do in the tests, and I think we all know it’s not actually accurate. But we do it anyway because it has a certain amount of likelihood of being close to the truth, and it’s useful for hiring people.

I know that a human being is so much more than that and I dont personally care about intelligence when I pick friends. I just care about how they make me feel and how we feel together. Having a good time is the most important thing and to me, that’s not solving puzzles together. :)

It really is fine, maybe I am dumb :) Life is an interesting journey for sure!

Makes a lot of sense. :)

I got that comment a few times in this thread. :) Yeah maybe!

Haha yeah, could be. :)

The second part I do if it’s someone that does it back. I’ve met people who just drain you with their negativity and those are pointless to try and uplift. It just makes you frustrated.

I guess their brains are wired to be negative because of some self protection or something.

Ive come across that story before yeah. Sad thing is, it just happened to them and nothing they could do to prevent it.

Yeah customer service jobs… Do you have any stories you can share that may be humorous?
