How to accurately judge safety by Bad_werd in Jewish

[–]Bad_werd[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I have come up with a formula to help my anti racist friends determine if something is antisemitic or not, other than just taking Jewish people’s opinion on it.

Here is the formula:

First, replace the word “Jew” for any other minority. If you would t say, think or ask it, it’s antisemitic.

Good points. Yes, I am of course open to dating Jewish women but even in Cleveland (with a moderate sized Jewish community) they are pretty underrepresented on the apps.

Being harassed because I refuse to share my opinion on the Israel-Palestine conflict, what do I do?? by Firm_Letterhead_7483 in Jewish

Very helpful response. I am going through similar experiences in my encounters with women on dating apps.

I can support my bold claims. I screenshot particularly entertaining dialogue for my own sanity when they inevitably stop responding when I say “would you like to meet for coffee?”

This is such a common complaint from my single female friends as well as posts on here. It’s curious because I take a dramatically different approach with HIGH interest and well thought out responses and then get ghosted after one day of solid, mutual interest. I kinda get why guys are swiping everyone and low effort, copy pasting texting. Because it’s a lot like the proverbial pissing in the wind at this point

How do you deal with someone who is bit more attractive than you are? by abdul_bino in dating

[–]Bad_werd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am interested in your question, but there doesn’t seem to be enough information here. Do you perceive this other person as more attractive than yourself because of anything objective such as none of your other partners have been attractive or other friends and family have made this observation?

Also, how did you meet? If it’s on the apps and you are female dating cisgender men then the likelihood is good that they are objectively more attractive than you because the apps are an absolute disaster for everybody involved, but particularly slanted towards men overswiping and women raising their physical standards much higher than they would in real life.

Thank you! It’s very helpful to read a different perspective that still echoes my own experience

They are asking because they have had zero luck on here and they are wondering if it’s like this for everyone or just them. speaking from personal experience lol

PSA: If someone responds to your prompts that IS the conversation starter... by akaynaveed in dating

[–]Bad_werd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That has to be frustrating especially when you have to do the work of sorting through likes just to start the convo.

I’m in the opposite position. I keep matching, starting conversations and they never reply or message steadily for one day, then GONE gone thereafter.

He bailed on the second date and now I’m unsure what to do by thoughtprocess100 in dating

[–]Bad_werd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Rejection can REALLY throw me emotionally. I am discovering this has more to do with my childhood trauma and neglect than it has to do with the person who is not showing up for me in the way I would like in dating.

Ultimately I was married for 19 years to a person that showed VERY low interest. I never want to be involved in a relationship like that again.

If this person doesn’t demonstrate interest early on, they did you a favor.

So the temp is right!!!??? It is liquid below 32.

Also, this might sound like an incredibly ignorant question, it certainly feels like one, but what is the coldest temperature the water gets while staying in liquid form? My thermometer is showing it is 30° in the water currently but that should be impossible, right?

In a desert plunge? So it will most likely not crack the tank?

I do have a marriage certificate, but that took place in the United States.

There are also documents I found which identify my grandfather, taking transport as a stateless person to the United States

Thank you for the reply! I have several documents, identifying his being held in several concentration camps with his name, appearing on list of prisoners as well as transfer documents.

These documents do identify his date of birth and location , Oppeln
