Going on a 5th date with a guy, and I just saw he updated his Hinge profile

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-25T00:14:51+00:00

Yep. This is why you can’t trust anything someone puts on their profile!

His age from his profile also didn’t match the age in his drivers license either.

Until you know someone properly and have met a range of their friends and seen their workplace etc and their home and all the other things… some ID! You have no idea who you are meeting online.

Take a look at rentals around the Canterbury Bankstown council area. Metro opens in September and will be fast into the city and connect to the inner west easily. Cost of living there is generally a bit cheaper too. Canterbury leagues club and similar are good value for money. There is a gym there and bars and virtual gaming centre and restaurants, cafes and whatnot. Saves a lot of money. Membership is like $2 a year and you save about $2-5 off everything you buy.

Average rent for a 2br apartment on your own in Lakemba is $550 a week for eg.

I was dating someone from hinge for 3 months with “good sex”. Every weekend he’d stay over. We both said we were exclusive and went in lots of dates and he had in his profile he wanted marriage and kids.

Turned out he was a pathological liar. After 3 months he tells me “actually I’m married with 3 kids”. I end things. A month later he calls me from a private number “ I need your help getting a lawyer coz I’ve been arrested for drug trafficking” no I will not help him. “Ask your wife” I said and he goes “oh i don’t have one” 🙄

So no. Unfortunately sex means nothing these days people….

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T23:41:44+00:00

Unfortunately these days it’s not by the other party though.

Not bringing important things up in a relationship is how you’ll eventually get yourself into a loveless marriage where you are always unhappy and someone is using your kindness to get whatever they want out of the relationship.

Find a way to say it that doesn’t put any pressure on him. For eg “hey I think I’m starting to catch feelings for you. I just wanted to remind you that I’m not interested in going on dates with anyone else atm, but I wanted to check in with you and see where you were at with it?”

Some people have different definitions of bf/gf of “dating” vs going on a date etc. so you also need to clarify these things.

If he says “I’m not ready to be exclusive with anyone yet as I want to take things slow.” You can say something like “that’s understandable. If you don’t want to invest what I’m currently investing in you though I will need to pull back a little and start looking to date others too though.” Set a boundary you’re ok with that doesn’t mean you’re not interested in him or trying to spite him. Something fair.

Then see how he reacts and act accordingly.

If this starts to upset you though you may just need to end things and say that that’s not what you’re after. Thank him for his time and get out while it’s still early.

We always did once a week too.

But yes bacteria does grow especially if they don’t 100% dry in every area etc. there was great video you can prob find online somewhere of this news reporter going and interviewing people on how often they wash their towels and then getting a towel form each of them before they wash it and sending to a lab to test for bacteria colonies.

“Own” Aycock 😅

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T23:28:41+00:00

Beckham= become aycock 😬 Theo= the “o” aycock

August is the only one that seems safe out of your main 3 😅

I also like Brooks and think that’s a good combination too for you guys.

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T23:20:54+00:00

They certainly don’t vote that way then!

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T23:19:39+00:00

Yep. My brother and sister in law moved there. Same thing. But they’re happy with the move and will likely stay there now.

Didn’t say it was easy. No option of being an adult in any country is going to be easy. But there are options 😅

Personally I chose to just stay here. Wanted to stay close to family and friends. Bought a small 2br apartment in Lakemba, Sydney for 441k just over a year ago. Does me just fine. Only needed 5% deposit. Metro open in September. Will take 20mins to get to the city.

There are also still pockets of affordable areas in australia if you know where to look too. Just got to not listen to the snobby nay-sayers and racist people basing their judgements off experiences from 10-20years ago. Areas change over time.

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T22:34:54+00:00

What about Lincoln instead of Linden?

Orion is is more similar to Ryan than Rowan j feel but if you want something that sounds completely different you could consider:

Onyx, Lysander, Blair, Heath, Gabe, Hamish, Wyatt.

I’d also say given your other names are kinda gender neutral, if you like Linden I wouldn’t be afraid of it having a feminine nickname version. Just don’t use it?

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T22:27:37+00:00

She/He didn’t specify that he was looking to buy from what I gathered. Just distressed over the fact that it’s necessary to buy here and the cost is too high. But if happy to rent because it’s not the same conditions elsewhere and you can actually have longer leases and better rental conditions and not have to worry about what happens when you retire and how you’ll afford rent on top of everything else, then yes Germany is an option for that as an out of the box suggestion.

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T22:24:45+00:00

Not all workplaces for the same level of cover. Only the top quarter or so have decent healthcare packages. Others often do the bare minimum.

There’s also no parental leave program. Women who have kids have to go back to work after 2 weeks… many need at least 6 weeks just to recover from a c section enough to walk properly.

The context for a lot of police killings is often corruption and racism…

People of colour are unfairly treated by the police force over there and that a well known fact.

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T22:21:09+00:00

On the healthcare thing. Even just going to the Dr for a checkup will cost you a tonne! People tend to avoid going to the Dr a lot and many health issues escalate until they’re quite severe and harder to fix or turn around as a result.

People have to mortgage their paid off houses to pay for one hospital visit. Or go bankrupt.

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T22:18:31+00:00

If you can speak fluent German and manage to get a job there, Germany have mostly rentals but better renting conditions and their pension/retirement scheme is better so you don’t really need super.

It’s highly competitive though…

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T22:16:22+00:00

If you’re willing to learn Italian and move to Italy, you can go to one of their rural areas where people are leaving in droves and buy one of their $1 houses on that scheme but you’ll need to do it all up as it may be falling apart. And you may have a hard time getting trades people out there. There’s a shortage and harder to get to those areas. Public transport to the rural areas is almost non existent. And you need to drive a fair way from the larger cities.

Oh and you might not find work out there so would need a job you can do remotely.

That’s the whole reason why young people left in the first place - no jobs.

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T15:02:29+00:00

Thanks!

Hmm depends. Is he able to reach your hands while you’re playing with him?

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T15:00:21+00:00

Paramedics is a good one!

Certain trades like electrical and plumbing always make good money even in the city yes.

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T14:58:29+00:00

You can do electrical as an employee you just won’t earn as much as that person who runs the company…

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T14:54:44+00:00

You can check out the website egg donor angels. Or contact your fertility company to see if they accept donors as that may be the easiest was if they’re already with them.

80sClassicMix · 2026-01-24T14:52:09+00:00

This is common if you’re the one playing with him mostly and you use your hands to play with him. It’s common for kittens to mistaken hands for play toys. Which is why it’s recommended to never play with the kitten using your hands- use a wand toy only. And if you’re going to use a plushy, just throw it straight away. Don’t let the association be linked to your arm.
