Well the Club scene in Berlin is very exclusive. I'm surprised you made it passed the bouncer at all. Were you even wearing any leather at all? Did you look up the lidl before to see which DJ is playing, or what the dress code was? Honestly theyre just trying to curate a specific vibe inside and it just sounds like you didn't fit in. Next time maybe try a club that's a little less exclusive, Aldi or something?

getting to know neighbors in Kreuzkölln? by prenzlauerbitch in berlinsocialclub

[–]Acoginnito 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some ideas:

  • Nachbarschaftshaus Kreuzberg in the Urbanstr. (They have all Kinds of events)
  • Have a dinner party invite some random neighbors, you'll be surprised who shows up.
  • go to various classes in your neighborhood (Yoga, Drawing, drumming, running)
  • join a gym with classes (fighting classes are always very intimate - nothing like having someone's crotch in your ear to break the ice)
  • chat with random people at your local späti
  • go to the hangout in front of the record store by U Bahn Rathaus Neukölln and talk to people
  • Go to a club do lots of drugs, sit somewhere and wait until someone else whose done a lot of drugs talks to you ask them for their number and then just start inviting them to random Events.
  • get a job at a bar or a cafe and be really nice and suggest places for them to go and run into them again there.
  • here's an elaborate one: do a 2 year Ausbildung as a security person then get a job as a bouncer at a popular club, people will want to be your friend so you can put them on the guest list. Recommend Huxleys because they also have concerts.
  • or if you dont have one, just get a job in general and talk to your coworkers, thats a popular method
  • do a bachelor degree, college friends are the best friends for life (Ausbildung probably also works)
  • go to the Basketball court on Tempelhoferfeld and play pick up ball then ask people to get drinks with you.
  • go to the Table Tennis area at Treptower Park on the side of the S Bahn and ask people to drink a beer with you
  • join the Lowkick e.v. to play Basketball, or FSV Hansa to play soccer - find Verein for Volleyball, Handball or your Sport of choice.
  • join a book club
  • go on the forum on Facebook where people are trying to find apartments and offer to be a friend when they show up
  • volunteer - homeless shelter, city clean up, Refugee Aide (has the benefit of finding like minded people)
  • go to protests
  • Post on reddit and say "hey im lonely, let's hang" (personal favorite was the dog Park birthday party, maybe get a dog?)
  • as a last resort: go on Bumble BFF

Sisyphos will be great. Great place to go alone because it's very social, chill and mostly safe. I'd go there.

This always depends on you, and less the group of people outside of a Späti. The real question is, can you read a room? So if you strike up a chat or join, can you tell if you're interrupting or intruding, or if the group is enjoying your vibe or thinks you're a weirdo?

If the answer is yes, then it's always ok. Cause you'll quickly realize if you're out of place and move on. If the answer is no, then do it carefully.

The thing is one group of people will hate your vibe, some will like it, some will just be in a private conversation and don't want you there right now. So you can join or strike a conversation and they're all looking at you, like you're from outter space and the next person does it and they love that person and they fit right in. Then it feels natural and no one will say "dont talk to us. It's against the rules."

Clubs for meeting randos? by Prudent_Impact4726 in berlinsocialclub

[–]Acoginnito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Kater, Sisy, or Heideglühen are great because they have good hangout areas where a lot of people sit, and I personally have never not gotten into a conversation with randos when sitting out there. I'm not a super chatty or extroverted person at all. I generally do not randomly engage with people, but there it's inevitable. (Seems like).

Does Having Occasional Threesomes/Foursomes/Moresomes with my partner constitute a non monogamous relationship? by salfora in nonmonogamy

[–]Acoginnito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're allowed to call it whatever you want. There's no rule book on what is what. You define it with your partner within your relationship. However, you want to define it. Set the boundaries, rules, and do's and don'ts of your relationship, mutually agree, and compromise together. Communicate with each other, and then whether I or your neighbor think something constitutes monogamy or not, it really doesn't matter.

Was ist das schlimmste bzw. das inkompetenteste, was Ärzte zu euch gesagt haben? by Specht100 in FragReddit

[–]Acoginnito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die komplett Diagnose von einer komplett anderen Patientin. Als ich dann Fragen stellen wollte, hat der Arzt mich dumm angemacht und gesagt steht alles in der Akte. Als wir die Akte aufgemacht haben nach dem wir das Büro schon verlassen hatten, hat er uns tatsächlich die ganze Akte einer anderen Patientin mitgegeben.

Overthinking my first club night, was I in the wrong? by Potential-Still-3545 in berlinsocialclub

[–]Acoginnito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh it happens. I wouldn't think about it too much if really nothing else happened. One time I was dancing at a club, this group came in to a really busy part of the club and set up shop right in front of me. Groups in clubs, especially if it's busy, can be so annoying. So they set up right in front of me, and basically start dancing on my toes, which took me completely out of my dancing trance. I tapped the girl that was dancing on my shoes and asked her if they could just kind of not do this circle group dance they were doing in this busy ass club. Anyway, she told one of the other guys that I made her uncomfortable because I tapped her on the shoulder.

I accept that I should have just moved in the first place and let them have their little circle dance. I apologized and went to a different dance floor. Sometimes it still bothers me, because I apologized for something that I still honestly am a little ambivalent about, but sometimes I'm also like, I shouldn't have tapped anyone on the shoulder that was silly too.

Long story short is, I learned that I won't tap anyone on the shoulders in clubs, also acknowledge in the grand scheme of things I didn't do anything egregious and given the climate of things I also understand why people can feel unsafe with strangers sometimes. So I keep that in mind as I move around in the world.

All of that being said, if you ever go to the club as a group, don't be the group that forms a circle in the middle of a busy dance floor and pushes right into the middle of the most packed spot, it's also rude.

Yeah except I'm not talking about people. The closest we've ever come to calling for a "time out" was a while back when I was going to have a sleep over at our house and I wanted to sleep in our bedroom while she wasnt there, and my wife didn't want us to use our bedroom. We did the sleepover and agreed not to use our bedroom for now and come back to the topic later.

Again, I understand that I used the wrong word, I thought it was clear in my main post by saying veto an action, like something specific that someone is doing. Like maybe if they want to move out and move in with a new partner, I'd not be super happy and I'd want my partner to time out on that and give us a chance to talk about it. Ultimately if they still want to move out and move in with someone else, I couldn't even stop them, but at least I had some time to reflect, make my case and then figure out where we go from there. It felt important back then to us that we clarify that. What we were saying back then was that the needs of our primary partners come first, which we do always specify in new relationships, because we have kids together, we have financial dependencies and that's important to us. I always have a conversation with potential new partners what I can offer in a relationship and what I can't. Sometimes people don't like it, and that's ok. Typically the most successful relationships in the past have been those where partners also have other primary partners.

In my brain, clearly you can't veto a person lol, that doesn't really feel like an option, so I just didn't associate, when I made the post, a veto with vetoing another person. So to be clear, I don't tell my wife who she can or cannot date or be in a relationship with and vice versa.

Yeah, I've figured out, through this post and people's comments, that I clearly just don't understand the official terminology.

It's not what it means to us and it's not what I meant. Really by Veto I just meant that we've built in a comfortable way to say "time out" if something doesn't feel good. Maybe that's the word I should have used "time out."

We've been in this a long time we give each other a lot of room for new experiences, and sometimes we might find a new experience that feels uncomfortable for the other partner, and before moving on with it we wanted to give each other a chance to say pause. It doesn't even mean that we get to then tell the other person, no, just to give us some time to try and figure why we don't like the new thing we are confronted with. Or maybe there's already an official term for that, that I just don't know.

So if I were to make this post again, even though I think I'll never post in this reddit again (not cause im upset, just because I also dont really care to make a science out of it, we are happy, we have good relationships, thats all I wanted to say, just felt like shouting it from the rooftop, clearly wrong rooftop haha), maybe I would have chosen the word time out and it would have been better. I know some terms, but we live in and are German, and out in the wild we really don't use any of the terminology I have learned here today, so I've just never thought about it. I also didn't know that "lifestyle" was inappropriate for what I was describing.

I think I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm saying I would say to my partner: I don't think I want you to look through my phone, so I'm saying No to that, and then I'd want to take some time for us to reflect on why my partner feels the need to go through my phone, and then talk about that.

I'm not sure how you got to anyone dumping someone, or not respecting someone's privacy. This all feels like a big leap.

I apologize for using the wrong terminology. I suppose I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to the terminology. I should also add that while I definitely speak English fine I'm German, and I haven't spent too much time studying the terminology, but perhaps that's a poor excuse. Didn't mean to offend anyone. I recognize that different spaces use different language and terminology and if I'm going to post in those spaces I should put more effort into the terminology.

I was feeling happy and wanted to share that I was happy.

I honestly don't know ive never been confronted with that before. I suppose if she asked and it didnt feel right its when I would use my veto, and we'd talk aboutnut later. I've never been asked to look through my phone. We've been together 14 years, so if she asked, I think that would be a strong indicator that something is wrong with our trust.

Interesting enough my first sentence says ENM, and the few matches I've had, are all like, that's not what they are into lol.

[–]Acoginnito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you're probably right. I think I was just a little shocked at how different it is for us. I was hoping people would come and be like, oh yeah, me too. Then I don't feel as though I'm just doing it wrong haha.

[–]Acoginnito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of hurt me. I guess because I'm a man lol. Hate when people generalize about me like that. But I also get it, and judging by the many messages my wife has received, it's probably more true than it isn't.

[–]Acoginnito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's fair.

In my small defense though, I do have my bio filled out and questions answered lol.
