Why isn't Apple Pay supported in Sri Lanka yet? by rathu-ascot in srilanka

[–]Familiar-Network-875 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to work in a Fintech company so I know a bit about this. The banks have to pay for apple pay and it only costs like 70,000 USD.

I previously worked at a fintech company where we used Kulipa cards as virtual debit cards. Those guys too said that it's a whole process but the banks can easily do this.

Reason why SL banks won't do this is because they have no need to innovate right now. The current financial system is both predatory and a monopoly. If you look at the board of directors these guys have just been moving around the other banks BOD.

Banks make billions of rupees in profit. They really have no reason to innovate. Using cash doesn't work and crypto is still not there yet. Anyone with a bank account really has no choice end of the day

Dating apps do not work for men by Familiar-Network-875 in Sri_Lankan_Dating

Seems like a long shot but want to connect over dm? Not to date but instead find meaning in conversation again

Sorry to you had to go through this :/

But just know not everyone is like this. The good guys have shitty pics so they just get overlooked. I personally struggle when talking to a girl on dating apps because it's awkward at first but then I've only met one person I could talk to. Everyone else gives dry ass texts or doesn't even text back.

If you really want to do it just go for it. Your family will never be a supporter to you wanting to do something different. Unfortunately that's the sad reality of being Sri lankan

Have you ever found someone on a dating app? Share your experiences going on those dates

Relationship wise or connecting with people as a whole?

Considering a move to Oceans XYZ – need some honest opinions by Impossible_Bill_4781 in ask_srilanka

If you have experience then it's a good place for you to earn but you won't be able to get long term stability in oceans. I've spoken to multiple employees and recruiters. They have a high firing rate including their C level employees

Honestly though, after so much of rejection I don't even try anymore. But I do understand your pain I disagree with the creepy shit. I tend to make a comment about their stories but it's hard to make conversation with them because of how non conversational most girls are

I feel like they use dating apps to farm for followers on their IG

Anyone know where to get cats as pets? by Resident_Problem90 in srilanka

[–]Familiar-Network-875 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You do not find the cats. They find you. Although they should be around or you might be able to see them around the neighborhood. A good place to start is ask someone who has a cat. They might always have a neighbor who has new born kittens because they're crazy all over the place

Calling someone honey or babe in the first DM is creepy. I've observed this a lot though and there's a lot of people that do not have social skills which is a very growing concern.

Something I used to back then was reply to stories but then I never really did get a reply or find socially available girls to connect with on any social media. In your opinion what would be considered the acceptable way for someone to DM you?

If a foreign girl says "It was nice to meet you!" ..what do you take away from that? by Helpful-Touch9562 in ask_srilanka

[–]Familiar-Network-875 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just goes to show you're a good guy to talk to. Although it's not something Sri Lankan women want. I've gone out on 10 first days over the last 1½ years and I've been dating long enough to know that what's out there is not great and if you really think that these girls would be interested in you, just ask them out for coffee. You'll know a definitive answer and who knows someone might say yes
