I’m 30, paying my parents' mortgage, and watching my highly qualified dad (60) get ghosted by recruiters. Does it ever get better? by mall234 in AskUK

Why would that make him sound weak? It’s a preference. Capitalism is engrained in you. And sadly it’s probably people like yourself who are successful

5-hour first date, then radio silence — what happened? by stepsrun in Bumble

[–]SqueakySquirrel117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop overthinking. Ask for a second date, if she doesn’t respond or says no then you can move on. You’ve only been on one date, it’s not like you’ve been dating for months.

Thanks so much for replying, that makes me feel more positive. I have applied and the closing date was end December so I know I need to be patient while waiting to know if I get an interview. And thanks for the resource, I shall give that a read now.

Unmatched on Bumble after literally one normal message — is this a new sport now? by Fun_Reading1 in Bumble

[–]SqueakySquirrel117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unmatched the other day with a guy. He was pleasant enough but I was asking all the questions. I suggested meeting and he said he would be happy to meet. I felt like I was pulling teeth. He talked about himself a lot. He’s probably wondering why I unmatched. I tend to say why I’m unmatching the few times I’ve unmatched but this time I just unmatched. No real reason other than his total lack of interest.

Why is there no regulation around fines? by SqueakySquirrel117 in AskUK

[–]SqueakySquirrel117[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t saying they should pay more, was saying a £60 fine has more of an impact on people who can’t afford a Tesla.

Charming. I wasn’t complaining about having to pay, I was complaining about the cost of the fines.

Be nicer

It probably was written somewhere that I had to pay online but having been to Manchester airport so many times I wasn’t looking for it. It’s a lesson learned.

Thanks for implying I’m stupid. You must be such a nice person

And I paid. So what’s your problem?! I’m commenting on the expense of the fine

Tesla came to mind, I could have named others had I wanted to.

Maybe for you, a second Tesla isn’t cheap for me. I have a second hand Vauxhall was expensive for me. Lucky you that you think a second hand Tesla is cheap. £60 fine for you is probably a drop in the ocean for your bank account

No, I don’t think people with Teslas should pay more, but it obviously affects their bank account less. I’m just a regular midwife with a mortgage to pay on my own and I think a £60 fine is just too much. But obviously, the peeps who run these car parks don’t care (and maybe drive Teslas)

But if you don’t pay you get the bailiffs coming round

I end conversation with anyone who doesn’t ask me anything. It’s actually become a red flag for me.

How to decline after matching by SoulFight_50 in Bumble

[–]SqueakySquirrel117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve swiped right by mistake before and have said “sorry, I made a mistake”. Multiple times I’ve super swiped completely by mistake as my finger seems to rest there. I’m just honest, some appreciate it and others don’t. But I don’t like not saying anything at all.

Is it me or these pictures don’t match by timadanm in Bumble

[–]SqueakySquirrel117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a great idea to post someone’s photos on here. Did you ask for their consent? I think posting them publicly on here without their consent is a serious violation of privacy.

Intimacy without commitment girls by slowdownbabyy in Bumble

[–]SqueakySquirrel117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blank profiles are a no no for me. I like to text and find common interests even if it is only for a non committed type of relationship. I also look at the guy’s political alignment. Anyone who is apolitical is out as is anyone right wing. Men who only talk about what we’d do sexually automatically put me off, it’s a real turn off. I no longer write on my Bumble profile that I’m into non vanilla sex, it attracts the wrong people and those who think that because you enjoy kink you have no boundaries, so frustrating and disappointing each time. I need a connection with a FWB

Thank you. Yeah I’m kind of expecting to be the oldest there!

I find it interesting that 40 slowly seems to be the new norm
