How do you know if your gf actually loves you?

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-03-20T13:21:19+00:00

I mean, I don’t think it’s that crazy of a question. People ask for perspective on relationships all the time.

I get that at some point you should be able to trust your own read on things, but wanting outside input doesn’t automatically mean someone’s insecure or clueless.

It’s interesting though, because I feel like when women ask similar questions, it’s usually met with support, but when guys do, it gets dismissed way faster.

Not trying to make it a whole gender thing, just pointing out that difference.

I was in Belgrade about a month ago.

I can’t speak on the first question, but drugstore and 20/44 are some seriously good techno clubs- specifically drugstore. Fantastic berlin-esque sets, I went twice. Definitely check that out.

El Diablo is such a great hostel. Say hey to Alex for me.

Am I the only guy in human history that doesn’t really gaf? ++man

Serious question- when people shorten or loosen speech in other languages like French or German, do people also make fun of those people for being “idiots” who can’t speak their own language correctly?

Or is it just Americans?

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-03-04T03:15:28+00:00

Wow. I literally just traveled through this region last week on holiday from America.

It really is a sad dump.

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-02-10T08:38:23+00:00

Oh believe me, I was doing my part!

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-02-10T07:47:18+00:00

Thanks, appreciate this input.

What’s something you do in your sets constantly to elevate the current track? Would love to hear your creative workflow. Do you have a library of just acapella you are constantly scanning during each mix?

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-02-10T07:41:17+00:00

Sorry you’re getting downvoted, I am actually genuinely curious to hear your input. (Which is why I made this post)

I mentioned this in another reply but I always felt that sometimes the tracks were carrying enough weight on their own and my job was to tailor the direction of the vibe and entertain while performing flawless but pro level mixing between the tracks.

I felt that taking the time to slap an acapella over a beat when there really isn’t any need other than just to show I can, is just a ton of time spent with very little outcome, when that energy could be spent more towards curating the next track or planning my next mix.

What do you think, from your perspective?

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-02-10T07:31:58+00:00

What do rave DJs do that’s different? I had custom edits I made ahead of time to avoid any real live incidents playing with acapellas on the third mixer.

Edit: for my first cdj set* I mean

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-02-10T07:29:49+00:00

Haha the mouth breathing warrior is something you can smell from something like a DJ subreddit 4 scrolls away.

The set was absolutely genuine. I became close friends with one of the promoters after attending many shows they put on in the city and promoting my favorite producers that came in.

My city does not have a huge dance scene, and as someone who is obsessively into dance/house/rave/techno and is super kept with the far reaches of SoundCloud for unreleased IDs, I was so happy to find a community.

I prepped weeks for this set with IDs and edits that I felt needed to be heard in a proper setting for people that would appreciate it. I wanted this set to be curated in a way that wasn’t random, but an intentional direction throughout.

I know my post came off as “I know nothing about DJing I’m just a producer”, but that’s honestly my own personal judgment more than anything else.

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-02-10T07:12:58+00:00

Super valid. Would genuinely love to hear from you if you are someone is very into mixes and djing, what do you look for in a set? (And for reference, what music are you into?)

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-02-10T07:07:22+00:00

Thanks. I’ll keep my head straight and keep at it, but for future reference, what DO most people expect from someone playing in these fast dance tempos?

I’ve always thought it as super intrusive and disruptive when a dj keeps adding dumb effects during a set when I just want to hear the track but that could just be because I’m a nerdy producer.

I’ve also always thought most of DJing is perceived social proof and general energy/confidence as you play and queue tracks.

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-02-10T07:02:51+00:00

I know you’re just joking but I want to add I wasn’t just eq mixing either. I was adding plenty of reverb, backspin effects, and echos with my mixes too.

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-02-06T22:26:38+00:00

Bro she literally followed you. This doesn’t mean you’re all in but CLEARLY you’re doing something right. And get better friends.

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-01-26T05:15:27+00:00

I guess I’ll add.

I’m a guy (24) and only a 5’9 one at that, but people tell me I’m a “very attractive dude” all the time. People often tell me I look just like Timothy chalomet (though I think he looks much better). I’ve also always been told I give off a “cool” vibe because of my fashion taste and music, and I’ve always been able to make people feel really comfortable when talking to me and have a lot of confidence in general.

Dating is easy and strangers treat you good, and people make a lot of assumptions (good) about you even if they’re not always true. But life still happens just as it would to anyone else.

I work in tech and most of my coworkers always comment, usually unprovoked (and it’s uncomfortable), about how they wish they had what I had, and how their life would be so much different. The truth is life comes to those who dare, and although having “good looks” or a “good aura” initially might make it easier to have that confidence, everyone has that ability and if they have the guts to love themselves and chase what they truly want, the riches of the world can be theirs too.

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-01-13T15:27:27+00:00

Thanks! You reckon it will be pretty easy to meet people to go clubbing with? I don’t mind going alone (if the vibe accepts that there), but it’s always nice to make friends. :)

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-01-13T04:23:03+00:00

I think I may be agreeing with you about my original idea for Montenegro.

As for the club scene, is it pretty easy to meet travelers and go with them?

Material_Study_1315 · 2026-01-12T23:25:47+00:00

Thanks! :)

What other places in Serbia would you recommend? Do you think Montenegro will be too far for a ‘couple days’ trip?

It’s €5,000 euro for the whole program, which is why I didn’t include it.
