white text on yellow background, that's infuriating

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

When you're actually using the app instead of having the compression artifacts of being screenshot several times, it's not as bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't care if you're watching it in 32k on Odin's personal account, white on yellow is NEVER acceptable for ANYTHING.

It doesn't make it less of a crime against good design. Low contrast for reading is bad practice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It assails the eyes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I had to zoom in on my phone just to be able to read that!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's kind of nice when people reveal themselves to be insufferable douchebags at the outset rather than wasting your time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If someone does not take the least amount of effort to answer a simple question like that one .... then he doesn't care about you in the slightest.

"But its a generic question!"

Two words: common courtesy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

People (guys usually) also answer like this when they are trying to tell you exactly what you want to hear so that you'll sleep with them. They feel like if they give any wrong answer early on, they've lost their chance. It's a very manipulative mindset. He was like a deer in the headlights, not knowing if any answer he gave would be the right answer since he doesn't know her at all yet. So he stalls, hoping she'll drop it.

Or he might just be an idiot.

Either way, drop them and move on to somebody who will be real with you.

In other words, playing games, i.e trying to "tick her funne bone" so he gets someone else to play instead of himself. But what most of those guys fail to acknowledge is that "tickling her funne bone" takes time -- it's not a "free pussy pass" of any sort that you "say it", and she goes "WHOOAAA fuck me mister! Fuck me right NOW!". That is not "acting tough" or smart, but acting like a douche.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that was my thought as well. This is the type of person who is only going to say something of they think it will impress you. The second possibility is that they will share nothing of themselves, period. In either case, they don't seem like good relationship material.

The last four songs I've listened to on YouTube are three pirate shanties and "We Know The Way" from the Moana soundtrack. I'm not answering this question either. :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Smart move. Wouldn't want to intimidate anyone with your superior taste in music

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Id say she got to know just about eveything she needed to know about this person.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Something I was dearly hoping wouldn't find its way over here from Reddit: screenshots of posts which erase the posters' identity for no good reason.

Giving proper credit for content is cool, kids.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is so weird. The first response was somewhat acceptable if in a joking manner but then he quintuple downed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone's insecure about his Shakira collection.

Seriously though, I'm guessing this guy either doesn't like music at all (I've known a few and they act like this) or got made fun of a lot for his music tastes in high school. It's a shame this guy is probably a walking insecurity.

Which is a great reason to unmatch him and move on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I didn’t even know it was humanly possible to not like music at all. What were they like? Like their personalities? Did they seem sociopathic or were they generally “normal”?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Kudos to you for demonstrating interest in getting to know whoever you cross on these platforms (a rarity these days...) 🙌🏽

I relate to your discomfort. I usually unmatch or block such vibes bc the point of these apps is to date, which implies getting to know each other. If one is unwilling to put in the work (as minimal as it may seem), just spare folx who are interested in the above.

So much has changed in the dating scene. Sometimes, I am asked why I am being nosy or psychoanalyzing them. 🙄 Dude, you're on a dating app, right?

P.S.: I respect boundaries, but such questions are essential in familiarizing oneself with someone.

You use the term "you" a lot here. This is an old post, so you're not going to be talking to the actual person that experienced this
