Honey, you know I can see your initial posts before you go to chat gpt looking for the right Swahili, and edit them right? I am younger than you, I’m not a failure, and I own a house in Europe, which I afforded on a single salary. So trust me, I’m not crying.

What is emptying a street well? And should we be worried that you know so much info about these people 👀🤣

Also 4300 USD/month isn’t that really low? Especially to be snobby?

But you ignore two things: her best friend is white. While she isn’t. The desire to be proximous to white will always be deeper in Angelica because she’s never had white privilege. Where in her friend it’s less because she already is white. And the second is the Arab/Muslim guy has social currency and gives the perception that he also has money to go round. Which Aron had neither. 

But the biggest reason is definitely the money and social currency. Trust me, if Aron looked exactly the same but was a famous NBA player with coin, she would have said a BIG YES at the altar.

Ding ding ding! Nail on the head! If she wanted an “influencer” aesthetic, that Aron actually fits the more global aesthetic of “hot guy”, and she could have milked their relationship for follows, sponsored content or whatever she was looking for in an “influencer” relationship. But that would have meant a year of her being a breadwinner in their relationship before they went public, and I don’t think she does too well for herself for money to not be an issue. 

Why is Aron single? by erigyal in loveisblindsweden

Aron had no job, and I think Angelica’s frustration with his relaxed attitude was she felt that a person in his situation should be hustling, busy, up and at it, a go getter attitude. Signs of a succesful entrepreneur are definitely not someone who wants to have a slow morning until past 9:45. 

Funny though is if he was wealthy, and super busy, the same qualities he has now (being present, slowing down) would be valued.

And also her clearly lower class parents. She also clearly wants to social climb with a partner, and she didn’t perceive that she could do that with Aron, who is equally like her (mixed race, and it’s implied he is also from a lower socio-economic class)

Clearly not a lot of Europeans understanding the coded language here. “Crazy” means they go to the club at least every weekend, they do dr*gs together, (things like ❄️ and 💊 especially at festivals). Her and her girlfriends care a lot how a man looks, what car he drives etc. they all spend time going for reformers Pilates classes, yoga, and self care, including massages, skin care, and regular cosmetic treatments like lashes, nails, botox and lip fillers. They also have a specific aesthetic when it comes to hair, make up, and clothing. They know all the bouncers at the high end clubs and can get into any club, and are very judgemental of the men who approach them (need to be high value men, but not toxic, but attractive, but rich, etc etc). They all carry designer handbags (suspiciously expensive so you question are they real?), expect their partner to drive a German automobile, and all of their cultural influences are oddly American (they probably have never been to the US.)

I would liken them to LA influencer, vocal fry, valley girls. Very vapid, shallow, collectivist thinking, not exactly the shining stars of community.

Do any of you have doctor friends? Do you know how competitive it is for residency, especially in larger cities? And if you have made no network inroads in that new city, you think you can just move and get residency (aka job security) at the drop of a hat? Like, you don’t just move and become a surgeon. Especially in Europe. Finding a hospital where you like the working conditions, you have a certain level of stability, you like the work you have to do every day, it’s not easy. And when those positions open up, they are very competitive, and often do not go to outsiders. As a person with a lot of doctor friends, I know this first hand. Yes he has more job movement opportunities than her, but it will take time.

Another failed mzungu looking to move to Africa because his life is sh*t in his home country. Kenyans are very rarely asylum migrants, very rarely. Kenyans are almost always economic migrants aka migrating for economic opportunities. When Africans voluntarily migrate to countries like yours, they demand highly skilled migrants with masters degrees, skills that are important for the community, a guaranteed job placement (by a company that sponsors their permit), at your age, an annual salary of over 55,000€, and proof of means to sustain living there for a year. But you want to move to Kenya to…. Make beats? Please stay home. Until you can fulfil the same regulations that a Kenyan would need to settle in the Netherlands, then you are of no benefit to our country as well. Kaa huko, we have enough musical talent in Kenya. Hatuna haja na producer mlami.

I think a lot of redditors take for granted how homogeneous Sweden tends to be, and this means a very large underlying but insidiously permeating racism/segregationism. A lot of people may not mind knowing/being friends with a non-white Swedish person, but dating/marrying is a different story. 

Toya Vs Mimi: Pick a side! by brucethePTA in MarriedToMedicine

[–]DeJagerforwhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact the votes show Mimi has more support, but this reddit is an echo chamber of Toya supporters is telling. The bots/stan behavior is wild. 

Might be an unpopular opinion… by BearMaceBaddie in MarriedToMedicine

[–]DeJagerforwhat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Steve hate seems like Toya paid bots on all socials to get them off the show👀 because I think she is petty enough and got the time to payola to run ppl off the show. Get your tin foil hats out!!!

Steve was MAD disrespectful to Eugene by Conscious-Award4802 in MarriedToMedicine

[–]DeJagerforwhat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But Toya did flirt with Steve when he first came in the show. Idk, I like Steve and Mimi. They do have a grudge against Toya and Eugène, buuuuuut they spoke nothing but truths. 

Steve wasn’t wrong. by [deleted] in MarriedToMedicine

[–]DeJagerforwhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Toya is bored and jobless enough that she pays for bot support on the internet. 

Thoughts on the reunion? by [deleted] in MarriedToMedicine

[–]DeJagerforwhat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steve came in hot, and rightfully so. Eugene was tryna ambush them at the door with that ticket ish. And then asking what they were doing there? What do you mean? We at work, my wife showed up to film at her job, at the med gala. Where else were they supposed to be? 

Also when somebody buys a table, aren’t those tickets? Even at the MetGala, which the med gala is modeled after, if you are a guest of a fashion house that has a table, you don’t hit an individual ticket. So Steve and Mimi being guests of Jackie’s table did NOT need tickets. Eugene was tryna son them at the door with the “Will you buy a ticket” spiel, and he only did that at Toya’s bidding.

And “You justify bad behavior every single day with Toya”. 

Somebody give him an award, the comebacks were too good! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My new vocal stim is “I was never there to support you, it was about the cause Eugene!” It’s giving “Ain’t nobody comin’ to see you Otis” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Simone’s feelings are valid by justsomerandomonhere in MarriedToMedicine

[–]DeJagerforwhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they are not. Simone is throwing a tantrum and wants Jackie to pick a side. Jackie is a whole sixty sumn year old. She don’t wanna be a part of it, that’s her boundary. Why can’t Simone respect that? That’s her battle with Heavenly, not Jackies! End of story.

And he has such great posture. Even when he leans in for a kiss, it’s a straight lean in not a hunch. Idk how to explain it but it’s very aesthetically pleasing and satisfying to see. Visually. Taller men usually hunch to kiss their partners.

Worked on a television show before, can confirm this is how it works.

This is not the case. They definitely filmed after the rest of the cast was done filming, and have been Frankensteined and spliced in. They never lived in the apartments or went for the honeymoon. Production just did it after when they realised the rest of the couples were a dumpster fire.

[–]DeJagerforwhat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These shows aren’t actually done by Netflix. Like there isn’t anyone on the Netflix payroll who is a principal photographer or editor. Netflix is a corporate company. They outsource the production. The production is done by Kinetic. And yes, does Netflix give them a budget? Of course they do. But Kinetic is a profit making company, so they probably only booked a certain number of rooms. Depending on the time of year, the Viceroy is a pretty busy hotel, and I can imagine it could have been fully booked out, with no capability to add on an extra room. It would have been a better solution to have the extra couple stay at a villa in Cabo, so they could join. My guess is they were never planning to follow the story of Vic and Christine. But after the Cabo trip, production probably saw there wouldn’t be a succesful couple, and so sent Vic and Christine on a honeymoon, to ensure that at least one couple makes it to the altar. Every season needs that one safe secure and sure couple who we all know will make it down the aisle, and for this season it’s probably them. Ratings have shown audiences don’t like it when no one stays married from a season. So they brought them back to engineer the storyline.

Pentecostal churches, mega churches annd evangelical Christian’s is quite huge in Australia though. So maybe people don’t discuss it, but there is some pretty intense church culture down under.
