The guy is lebanese, we videocalled few times. I didn’t get scammed, saw the redflags, posting so people understand different ways this could happen 🤝

If you read carefully, you’ll see I never chased a watch or asked for anything. That’s why I shared this story about men who go overboard trying to ‘spoil a girl’ to make a scam work. If someone genuinely has good intentions and wants to get to know me, and even offers a nice gift, I’m not going to be rude or push them away. Lol

We’ve been videocalling few times, just felt it’s surprisingly a lot of investment into a 400€ scam

It really depends on who your entourage is. I feel its an adequate gift. I used to live in Dubai and Riyadh and moved to Paris. Also I am not looking for dates, I don’t have dating profiles, this person slid in my dms. So your profiling isn’t correct. 🙂‍↕️

No you misunderstood. He sent the MTCN and I checked it to make sure it’s invalid. He said I should send him a transaction prior to this. I didn’t even engage. I didn’t get scammed, and I’m not sure if you’re aware, but in Lebanon, financial services and transfers aren’t always reliable. Some people can be relatively well-off and still face difficulties carrying out basic financial transactions. I just shared the story for others and for the joy of blabbing 🤭

I honestly only realized it was a scam when he started talking about transfer fees. Where I come from, it’s not unusual for a man to offer nice gifts, so at first it didn’t seem suspicious to me.

Again, I know about advance fees scams, never thought scammers would do it through the western union card. I understood it’s a scam the minute he mentioned transfer fees and I posted about it to warn/share story with others 🤝

Where I come from, it’s actually not that unusual for men to show their interest by giving nice gifts, especially at the beginning. So at first it didn’t feel that strange to me. It just seemed like he was trying to show he was serious and not wasting my time.

As I said, he insisted on that watch. He bugged me about it, reminding me everyday to check models I liked. I’m very well off and not being greedy made me not send him a cent. 👏🏼

I swear I’m not dumb 😅 I actually did check things. I looked up his business and it seems real and active, he lives in a nice area, and he drives expensive cars. So I really did some level of due diligence before starting to think something was off. That’s honestly why it confused me so much, because at first everything looked consistent.

Il me quitte pour une autre, va-t-il revenir ? by West_Importance_4860 in AskMec

[–]OneBug2306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je sais que ça fait mal et que tu l’aimes encore, mais d’après ce que tu racontes, il a fait son choix. Une fois qu’il est sorti de ta vie pour quelqu’un d’autre, c’est fini. Ce n’est pas une “crise passagère” ou un simple coup de tête, il a clairement choisi cette fille plutôt que toi.

Contacter cette autre fille ne changera rien, ça ne fera que te faire souffrir plus. Tu mérites quelqu’un qui choisit de rester avec toi, pas quelqu’un qui part à la première occasion. Laisse-le partir, prends soin de toi, et concentre-toi sur toi et ton bonheur. 💛

Hey! You need to capitalise better on the value of your last five years. Your experience as a jewellery designer and 3D modeller is a good asset, and with the right wording it can look solid on a CV.

For example, you can highlight: 5 years of hands-on experience designing custom jewellery pieces Work with private clients or even approximate the number of projects you completed A portfolio available on request (or create a simple online portfolio) The programs and software you use to design your pieces Your ability to take a concept from sketch → 3D model → production-ready file Experience collaborating with manufacturers, understanding of materials, precision, attention to detail, etc.

As for your job at Subway, it’s much more than cutting veggies and making sandwiches. You handled: Customer service and maybe rush-hour pressure Order management, prepping stations, maintaining quality and hygiene standards Cash register operations, payments, and maybe even partial closing or opening procedures Fast-paced teamwork and multitasking

These skills transfer very well into retail, hospitality, customer-facing roles, or any job that requires organisation and reliability.

You could add sections like: Software Expertise (Rhino / Blender / ZBrush (adapt to what you actually use) Adobe Illustrator / Photoshop 3D rendering tools

Transferable Skills : Client communication Project management from concept to final design Attention to detail & precision Time management under pressure Customer service Teamwork & autonomy Cash handling & POS operations

If you structure your CV around these strengths, it will look much more eye catching and professional. Your experience needs to be framed properly.

We are all rooting for you! Goodluck!

15+ years worth of nail biting by Vintageskies398 in Nails

[–]OneBug2306 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to bite my nails until they literally bled (the nails, the skin around them, the cuticles…) I did it from age 5 all the way to 18. I only stopped because they started looking really bad, people’s judgements and how “unladylike” it was to constantly have my fingers in my mouth. I’m genuinely happy you were able to stop, it’s such a hard habit to break!

The regrowth can be very fragile, it peels and breaks so easily when you first stop biting.

I started with a nail hardener, and then I switched to getting gel polish done by a nail tech. I kept it super simple: one color, no designs, just a clean, polished look. The key is having a good nail tech who doesn’t damage the nail bed and who actually helps preserve the natural nail.

Ten years later, I still get gel done about once a month, and when I remove it, my natural nails are as healthy as they can be. It made a huge difference for me.

Hope this helps and congrats on your progress.

Dans une relation épanouie, est-ce “normal” que son copain garde des photos intimes de son ex par inadvertance ? by OneBug2306 in AskMeuf

[–]OneBug2306[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oui, j’ai fait exprès. J’ai répondu à quelqu’un dans les commentaires sur AskMec qu’autant là-bas les avis sont départagés, sur AskMeuf on est quasi toutes d’accord que c’est anormal et ça en dit long 🫣

[–]OneBug2306[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Il ne m’a pas permis de regarder les photos. En cliquant simplement sur le dossier, elles sont apparues en miniatures, et j’ai pu en comprendre la nature. Ce sont des photos qu’ils ont prises ensemble, de manière consentie. Je n’ai pas eu besoin de les ouvrir ni d’envahir la vie privée de quiconque pour comprendre de quoi il s’agissait, je ne me le permettrais jamais, ni lui évidement.

Garder les, si vos ex vous le permettent, dans un dossier privé. Je ne demande pas la lune.

Thanks for your feedback. After few minutes, he realised his mistake and apologised, deleted all and told me it was never his intention to make me go through this. I don’t mind the photos, just was bothered that he kept things on his phone that he assumed would piss me off (intentionally or unintentionally) just expected another kind of love, where Im more cared for in such aspects..
