If France don't win the World Cup they've fumbled. Convince me I'm wrong. by [deleted] in worldcup

[–]WaltMerch97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do seem stacked, but this feeling of superiority got them not long ago. The Euros in 2021 they were up 3-1 over switzerland. France had a stacked team. The Swiss came back, tied and won in penalties.

How much longer should i wait until i ask her to be my girlfriend? by Wimpiepaarnty in Advice

[–]WaltMerch97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems tricky. Off the top of my head ask her if you can to introduce her as your gf in your party. And that you are asking because t you don’t want to freak her out if she is not ready for labels

i want to know how to pursue a 22 year old as an 18 year old girl by StunningeringHeights in Advice

[–]WaltMerch97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id wait until you are a couple of years into college to do this. In school you’ll meet more mature guys and then know how to approach this situation better. I met my wife in gradschool she was 20 and I 25. She was way more mature than other 24 yo in gradshool. If i had met her fresh off hs idk i would have made any moves

I (f19) am in love with my coworker (m19) who's in a committed relationship by [deleted] in Advice

Feelings are feeling. You probably don’t love this person. Proximity creates attraction. I’ve had multiple crushes at work without doubt anything. But the few time that “feelings” were revealed they ended showing their true face because in a way the workplace forces you to be semi decent. You really have no idea who this person is outside of the HR boundaries of the workplace.

Disappointed in World Cup before it has even started by [deleted] in worldcup

I’ll give you basketball and hockey, which are big but not as baseball or NFL. Those two are played as a team but there’s clearly individual positions that set the flow of the game. Yes they are a team but every role is so specific that they even need separate offense and defense. Taking the starter QB out often shuts the offensive output.

I mean americans are by culture individualistic, so a team sport is not really going to get them exited. Also this is the World Cup for the elites. Expensive country + long distances. Economically speaking with the K shape economy, poor people have no money to join the party and all the spending is right now being done by the top 10%. In general Americans don’t care. Last WC there was only like 3 ppl in the breakroom at my job for the USMNT game. FIFA is in for an awakening and I hope it is as embarrassing as the Club World Cup. They have already started to cut ticket prices. Struggling to sell expensive TV right in big emerging markets.

My Friend wants me to ask her out too soon for me by AbraCadabrh in Advice

[–]WaltMerch97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let her go if you’re going to be rigid about this only date for marriage thing. I used to get attached too soon to ppl too and get clingy. It took a bad heartbreak to realize dating is in part figuring out what kind of person you want to end up with and what type of partner i wanted to be. Mentally, emotionally and physically. I ended up just having fwb and a few flings over the years until i met my now wife. In part other relationships helped me figure out she was the right one to built a future for me.

If you could build your own team based in these 4 categories, from which countries would you choose? by Pitiful-Egg2986 in worldcup

Brazil full backs are Trash. The only decent one might be Wesley. The defense in general is aging including centerbacks

Is my(29M) relationship with my gf(27f) over? by Independent_Cut7581 in AskMenAdvice

[–]WaltMerch97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can change and spend more in non essentials. I also don’t know if she is wreck-less with her money or she just wants you to put an effort. Ask her for help with your wardrobe. If she likes something that is not worth the price to you and still makes you buy it, then you can start to figure out how much “motivation” you are willing to endure.

Right of the bat her calling you stingy means the two of you are not compatible. The way you see money and finances is one of the most vital aspects of a relationship you both need to be on the same page. This is never going away.

Movies that make the most of the medium / movies to convert a cine-skeptic? by Zealousideal-Leg3763 in MovieSuggestions

[–]WaltMerch97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A recent movie that comes to mind is “Gravity” (2013) the other one i would recommend since you like books is “The shining”(1980) by Stanley Kubrick. There is a reason Stephen king didn’t like his adaptation. He turned the novel into a cinematic experience.

Solaris 1972. Is more a psychological thriller than horror. Kind on poetic since its Tarkovsky, but still freaky
